I started shopping for a comfortable sofa, lounge chair, or chaise lounge before surgery. Shopped around for several weeks but never found anything that really met my needs. Then I saw an email for the hammocks and started investigating. Eventually decided it was soft enough, sat at the right height, and should work for my needs.
After surgery, I could only use the hammock or lie in bed on my side for the first ten days. The Vista frame was impressively stable, the hammock was utterly comfortable, and I was amazed that I was able to stretch my legs in the hammock comfortably despite the healing process and movement restrictions. Being able to rock in the hammock provided much-needed exercise and stretching. The entire setup was easily packed up and quickly reassembled at a family member's house without any difficulty.
Recovery is going well and I continue to enjoy using the hammock in my living room daily. It is going to be an utter joy to take camping with us this summer! Am incredibly happy with this purchase. The hammock is beautifully designed, comfortable beyond imagination, and the open weave allowed me to see my pets, talk to visitors, and control my temperature easily with a blanket without any feeling of claustrophobia or confinement.
