Abstract
A hammock is disclosed. The hammock may include a bed portion having first and second ends spaced a distance from one another. The first end of the bed portion may be suspended from a first tether. The second end of the bed portion may be suspended from a second tether. The hammock may further include an upper portion comprising netting. The upper portion may cooperate with the bed portion to form an enclosure for housing an occupant. The hammock may also include a ridge line extending from the first tether, through the upper portion, to the second tether. The ridge line may have a length greater than the distance between the first and second ends of the bed portion. Accordingly, the upper portion may be suspended some distance above the bed portion, creating greater space for the occupant within the enclosure.
