A hammock includes a bed made of a rectangular piece of fabric, whose ends are gathered together and secured to ropes which can be tied to respective trees. A ridge cord extends between the gathered ends, this cord being shorter than the fabric bed, so that the bed sags somewhat no matter how much tension is applied to the ropes. An entrance slit extending about half the length of the hammock allows one to enter from below. The hammock has a lozenge shape when it is viewed from the top and may be covered by a lozenge-shaped canopy.
