I have (to 180Kg) decided deliberately for this hammock. My hammock stand is indeed recognized only up to 120kg, but I wanted to prevent a rupture of about strategies hammock cloth. (This is what I read in other reviews hammocks lower Certified load.) The located at both ends spreader distribute the weight not only good on the ropes, but increase my feeling also the comfort. - I lay times in a hammock without spreader bars. This should indeed be handling more secure, but I felt it very wrapped. Even spirited cross-actually sit on makes my hammock with problems. Even in the craziest inclinations (Lying at the very edge of the cloth, so that it looks that one soon falls out), you will feel still safe and will not tumble out. I have the hammock now very pleased in quasi-permanent Benutzng and am for 1 week. A pillow, a book, my hammock and nightly getaway is perfect. :-)
