Sensory-Friendly Hammocks

Create a Calming Space with Simply Hammocks

At Simply Hammocks, we understand how important it is to create environments that promote calm, focus, and emotional well-being—especially for individuals with sensory processing challenges, autism, ADHD, or anxiety. Sensory-friendly spaces are proven to reduce overstimulation, support emotional regulation, and foster comfort and security.

Hammocks are uniquely suited for these environments. The gentle, rhythmic swinging of a hammock stimulates the vestibular system, which plays a vital role in balance, spatial orientation, and calming the nervous system. This motion can help regulate sensory input, reduce anxiety, and promote deeper relaxation. For some, it even improves sleep quality and concentration.

Why Hammocks Work for Sensory Needs

  • Vestibular Input: The swinging motion of hammocks provides vestibular stimulation that helps calm the nervous system and supports focus and balance.

  • Proprioceptive Feedback: Certain hammock styles offer deep pressure input, which can be grounding and soothing, especially for people who seek sensory regulation.

  • Safe Enclosure: Hammocks can create a cocoon-like environment, giving a sense of safety and containment that reduces anxiety and overstimulation.

  • Self-Regulation Tool: Used indoors or outdoors, hammocks can be part of a sensory diet to help with emotional self-regulation and transitions throughout the day.


Customer Review

"2-seater swinging hammock, great for sensory input for my disabled child.
I spoke with Greg at the company who couldn’t have been more helpful. The delivery was prompt, and I was kept well informed. The two-seater Globo swinging chair was easy to set up—I did this by myself in 40 minutes. Bought for my disabled daughter to enjoy time in the garden and for some sensory input. Looks very sturdy and expensive. I’m considering buying another…"
