| The perfect Father's Day gift - the Cacoon is available for purchase in Canadian dollars with free shipping! |
Someone just got an early Father's Day gift with the delivery of a Cacoon this past weekend!
I'm obsessed. It’s a nest chair or a hanging chair that you can escape to anywhere you feel like hanging it. The Cacoon was inspired by the weaver bird's nest which the designers ( a husband and wife design team) spotted while hiking in the jungle on a trip to Mexico. It was originally designed in the UK for a luxury spa.
We've wanted to get a hammock for the longest time but we never had a spot for one to hang properly. When I heard about the Cacoon and that it can be suspended from a (strong) tree branch I knew it would be perfect for our backyard. It's a cross between a tent and a hammock but better. I just love the modern design and it's sooo comfy!
To celebrate Canada's birthday Cacoon.ca is having a special promotion. They are offering free shipping in Canada and the US as well as shopping in Canadian dollars until July 1st! It makes a great Father's Day gift. Let your favourite guy hang out in the Cacoon with a coffee on Father's Day morning or a cold beer in the afternoon and he will be one happy camper.

| Throw some outdoor pillows inside the Cacoon to maximize the lounging potential. |
John put it together Sunday afternoon. It was simple to assemble. You don't need any tools and it comes with a 13 foot cord and steel carabiner. The tree branch we suspended it from is approximately 50 feet high but it was easy to order additional cord. So you can hang it just about anywhere.
They come in a variety of sizes. This is the double in light grey.

You're probably wondering ... how did we get the rope over the tree branch? Well, apparently John missed his calling playing baseball because he was able to throw the rope over the branch on his first attempt. Once it went over the branch he knotted it according to the directions.

It's easy to hang from a tree. But if you don't have a tree in your yard you can also attach it to a ceiling with hooks, hang it from covered deck or porch.

There are also stands available if you don't have a spot to suspend it using the cord.

| The Cacoon would be great at the cottage! |
It’s portable too. It comes in a carry bag and is lightweight so we can take it to a cottage or on a camping trip.
 |
| Since the Cacoon is portable you can take it anywhere. |

Although the Cacoon is available in a variety of sizes the one that I have is the Double Cacoon. It comfortably fits two adults, if you want to get cozy (weight capacity of up to 200 kg). They also have one for kids called the Bonsai Cacoon. What a cool place to hang out.
 |
| The Cacoon is available in 11 colours. |
The Cacoon is made of top grade fabrics that were developed for the marine and camping industries. It's a mix of cotton and polyester so it feels great, just like canvas, but is also machine washable. Each Cacoon is treated for anti-mold, UV protection and water resistance. They come with a nylon rope and carabiner.
I love how you can be hidden away and sheltered, relaxing in your yard. You can purchase an insect net and a door that can be attached if you really want to cocoon inside. Give me a glass of rose and a stack of magazines or a good book and I will happily float away in my comfy nest.
