Abstract: A hammock which includes a pair of suspension points provided on opposed sides that the hammock is arranged to suspend from in use. The hammock has a mid-section for supporting a user's body in a direction perpendicular to a line between the suspension points. The mid-section suspends from a pair of wings extending outwardly from opposing lateral edges of the mid-section to the suspension points. On each side of the hammock there may be provided a line of adjustable length for raising a first portion of the mid-section, for example, for inclining the back of the hammock. Second lines of adjustable length may be provided for raising a second portion of the mid-section to change the shape of the hammock further, for example raising the knees of the user to bring him or her into a fully-seated position.
