Abstract
An exemplary hammock shelter may provide unique ergonomic features, such as slits and pockets that permit a user's arms and legs to hang below the hammock. This arrangement of features may advantageously provide the user a flatter posture with improved comfort and ergonomic support. An exemplary hammock shelter may be used alone or multiple sheet or blanket accessories may be attached to provide insulation and comfort to the user over a range of temperatures. In some examples, insect and weather barrier canopies may be attached or otherwise affixed to an exemplary hammock structure to provide protection to the user from insects and weather elements.
