A hammock comprises a hammock body, suspension belts or the like for suspending the hammock between two load bearing members, and a header and suspension cord assembly at each end of the hammock which spreads the weight of a load laterally across the width of the load. This assembly includes a reinforced header located at the head end and having a laterally extending row of apertures, a spreader bar dimensioned to fit in a sleeve in each header, and a suspension cord designed to couple the suspension belt to the row of apertures in the header. The hammock is enclosed by an enclosure which is suspended above the hammock body by a spinal cord. The enclosure creates a rain and insect free space for the user. The enclosure comprises an enclosure body dimensioned to enclose the hammock body and thereby provide a space for a user, wherein the enclosure body comprises a sheet of water resistant material which when unfolded comprises a generally rectangular top portion dimensioned to enclose the top laying surface of the hammock body and a bottom portion shaped to cover the bottom surface of the hammock body, closeable access means for providing access to the space, and enclosure suspension means for suspending the enclosure body above the laying surface of the hammocks body, thereby creating an enclosed space for the user which is protected from insects and rain. The enclosure suspension means comprises a spinal cord dimensioned to extend underneath a top portion of the enclosure body along the longitudinal axis thereof, the spinal cord having a foot end which is releasably coupled to a weight distribution means, and a head end which is releasably tensionable around a load bearing member.
