Abstract: A fabric hammock is provided with a unique “pocket” which extends downwardly proximate one end of the hammock. The pocket is formed by downward extending side portions and an end portion and serves as an area to receive the user's feet when resting in the hammock. To aid in the formation and effectiveness of the pocket, the fabric hammock portion may be more narrow proximate the pocket than the remained of the hammock. The pocket accommodates the user's feet and legs and thus the user's feet and legs will be lower than the user's head and upper body portion providing for a much more comfortable position for the user to sleep, rest or socialize. The pocket also serves to prevent the hammock from folding inward up around the user thus, the hammock remains generally flat providing a more comfortable resting place for the user.
