The benefits of hammock use are legion. The first of these is, of course, comfort. You are off the ground, which is much more comfortable than being on the ground, even if you are carrying your air mattress. Sleeping in a hammock is beneficial for those with bone, joint, and spinal problems. In a properly suspended hammock, your body assumes an orthopedically correct position. Second, hammocking gives you more campsite options, and you will be able to camp where no traditional tenter or tarper could ever dream of camping. Hammocks are also Leave-No-Trace compliant. Hammocks do not cause compaction of campsite areas as tents and regular tarp rigs do. If you use webbing straps around the trees, the trees aren't damaged in any way. A hammock is fast to set up and easy to use, although the learning curve can be steeper and less forgiving than with other systems.
Not much of a deal, with $4.99 shipping.
Amazon has something similar (free shipping from seller) for just under $8.
