Ceiling Attachments
Where at all possible we recommend hanging your hammock from the ceiling.
This option saves space and gives best access and height flexibility.
For example, you can hang the hammock next to or even over your bed.
Natures Sway Ceiling Screws Pack
Our carefully selected stainless steel coach-eye screws are designed
for suspension from a wooden beam or ceiling joist. Note: these are
for solid wood only. Do not use alternative hooks which are open,
you need the closed loop of the coach-eye for safety.
Natures Sway Chain & Karabiner Set
The stainless steel chain with karabiner at each end is available in
½m or 1m lengths and are designed for attaching the hammock
to a ceiling screw or door clamp where doorways or arches are
particularly high. You can also use the chain to wrap around an
exposed beam or branch. Secure both ends with the karabiners
then attach spring and hammock.
Installation
To select a site for hanging the baby hammock, look for a draught
free area with a sturdy wooden beam or ceiling joist in the
ceiling close to your bed or living area. You may need to use
a stud finder or consult a building professional.
Drill a small pilot hole of no more than 4mm diameter and
40mm deep into the center of the beam. Screw the ceiling
screw fully into the hole so that at least 40mm of the screw
is able to grip into solid wood. For a home test, make sure
the screw can hold an adults weight once it is installed.
Only then should it be used for your baby.

“Natures Sway baby hammocks provide our newborn infants with
a natural alternative to sleeping ‘in mother’. At Birthcare we have
been delighted with the success that settling in a hammock can
bring. Hammocks are available in most private rooms and,
of course, in the nursery.”
