The most important factor in the popularity of hammock swings is its flexibility. They cradle and stick to your body according to the body design and prevent you from falling off. They are usually made up of interwoven ropes of different kinds of material. Cotton ropes are more comfortable but polyester ropes are more durable. Hammock swings take up less space and require only two points of support. They are also more stable to prevent people from falling off. People prefer hammock swings over regular lawn furniture in the same way they prefer gnomes over regular garden accents.

Garden gnomes have been used for garden accenting since the past few decades. Stealing the garden gnome from some one’s garden and taking its picture at various places of the world and mailing those to the gnomes’ owner had become such a rage that an online travelling agency Travelocity made Travelocity gnome its official mascot and logo. Gnomes have been popular forms of garden art as it is but they reached a new popularity after the introduction of Travelocity gnome. Hammock swings and garden gnomes are some of the most commonly seen additions to the present day average garden.
