Abstract: An improved hammock suspension system is provided which is both laterally stable and flat, and suspended between two spaced trees by longitudinally elongated web straps coupled to an independent anchor strap, one at each end. These longitudinally elongated web straps are affixed to each longitudinal side edge and extend a distance beyond the opposing hammock body ends, creating four web extensions. These web extensions extend a distance to accommodate spreader member receptacles which secure horizontal, rigid spreader members, thus transferring load forces along opposing longitudinal edges, creating a flatter sleeping platform. The extensions also accommodate fasteners, creating four points of connection and coupling the elongated web strap extensions to an independent web strap anchored to a tree by passing the strap around the tree at minimum 540 degrees, fully encircling and anchoring the strap to the tree and preventing slippage, while also alleviating torsional roll.

Abstract: We present an improved hammock suspension system which is both laterally stable and flat, suspended between two spaced trees by longitudinally elongated web straps coupled to an independent anchor strap, one at each end. These longitudinally elongated web straps are affixed to each longitudinal side edge and extend a distance beyond the opposing hammock body ends, creating four web extensions. These web extensions will extend a distance to accommodate spreader member receptacles which will secure horizontal, rigid spreader members, thus transferring the load forces along the opposing longitudinal edges. This creates a flatter sleeping platform.
