Everyone's Yard Needs a Kodama Zome This Summer

This is an experience you will not regret. 

Summer nights are meant to be spent outside, preferably on a porch swing with a glass of rosé in hand. But for all of you overachievers out there, we've found a hanging lounger that will forever change the way you enjoy your warm weather evenings. Kodama Zomes are a combination of art and design, but prioritizes comfort first and foremost.

Unlike a hammock or swing, these zomes hang from a single overhead point, which means they rock and sway smoothly and won't lead to dangerous wine spills on your white summer jeans. They're also much larger than your average hanging swing, as they weigh 110 pounds and can hold up to 600 pounds — or more or less four adults. Can't you just imagine curling up on this thing as a family for bedtime reading?

The frame is made out of steel and comes with a mattress and cushions made out of foam and outdoor upholstery fabric, so they'll be able to handle the weather without a problem. Want your own? These loungers go for $5,400 and come in five different colors, including two shades of grey, blue, orange and green.

But we have to say, the hardest choice you'll have to make is where to hang it. Some people pick out a large branch on a tree in their backyard.

Others work with a contractor to create a more complex set-up, like above a pool.

And of course, below your porch is an excellent choice if you want a little shade and shelter.
