The Homebody is made from a sturdy beige cotton canvas material for the seat area along with durable ropes to ensure this swing chair will never tear or break with regular use. There are 12 hanging ropes on each side of the chair to help distribute your weight evenly and keep you balanced. The Homebody takes up less space and weighs much less than a regular hammock. You can quickly and easily hang the hanging chair in the bedroom, patio, under a tree, in the backyard, by the beach, while camping, and more!
