ABSTRACT:
A mattress for use on a suspended hammock. The mattress, which may be filled with a fluid or a resilient material, has a convex lower surface that compensates for the natural downward bowing or sagging that occurs in a hammock suspended by its ends. Since the cross-section of the mattress is curved, a convex lower surface fits into the downward bow of the cradle while an upper surface remains relatively flat. In a preferred embodiment, the mattress is oriented in the hammock longitudinally, parallel with the suspension wires supporting the hammock. In an alternative embodiment, the mattress is positioned transversely on the hammock, at right angles to the suspension wires. In yet another alternative embodiment, the suspension wires are attached directly to the mattress and the cradle is omitted.
