Product Use & Safety

  What are the dimensions of the hammock?

  The hammock stand is 4m long, with a 1.2m x 1.2m footprint. The hammock itself is 1.4m wide, by 2m long, longer with the head pillow flipped back.

• top

  Is the hammock easy to assemble?

  Very easy. There are simply 10 holes and 10 bolts, and it comes with illustrated assembly instructions. You only require a socket set to put it together, and it should take no longer than 20 minutes.

• top

  Can I order a hammock without the stand?

  Certainly. There is an option to purchase the hammock separately on the hammock purchase page.

• top

  Are Lujo Hammocks safe and stable?

  Lujo Hammocks are a lot more stable than normal hammocks due to the stabilising bars at each end, which spread the weight evenly across the hammock, preventing flipping. We also use New Zealand Made Marine Grade ropes, each with a breaking strain of 700kg, ensuring no breakages occur.

• top

  Are the hammocks designed for one or two?

  The hammocks have been designed for two, but you can use them by yourself as well, with plenty of room to spread out and relax!

• top

  How do you get on and off the hammock with two people?

  There are two methods. If one person is already in the hammock they just need to shuffle over as the second person gets in. If you both want to get on at the same time, simply take a side each, sit down at the same time and swing your legs around.

• top

  Where do I buy beans for my bean bag?

  To keep shipping costs to a minimum we sell our beanbags unfilled. However, you can purchase beans at a number of major retailers, including:

  Spotlight, Bunnings, Briscoes, The Warehouse, Para Rubber, K-mart, www.beans2u.com (NZ)
  K-mart, Big W, Target, www.beans2u.com (Australia)
  Meijer, Bean Bag City, www.beans2u.com (USA)
  www.beans2u.com, www.beanbagfiller.co.uk (UK)

• top

  How many litres of beans does it take to fill my bean bag?

  The amount of beans largely depends on how firm you like your bean bag to be, but approximate filling volumes are as follows:

  Lujo Bean Bag Chair – 300-350L
  Lujo Bean Bag Lounger – 400-450L
  Lujo Bean Bag Ottoman (regular) – 125-150L
  Lujo Bean Bag Ottoman (large) – 300-325L

• top

  How much will it cost to fill my bean bag?

  The major retailers listed above sell Polystyrene beans for around $20-25 per 100L bag

• top

  Will I need to top up the beans regularly?

  The polystyrene beans will compress over time, making the bean bags more and more comfortable. You may choose to add a few handfuls of beans from time to time to help the bean bag keep its shape.

• top

  Can children access the beans in my bean bag?

  No. Our bean bags and liners come with Safety Zips that allow you to remove the zipper tab once filled, so children cannot access the beans.

  Should you need to open to zipper in future, simply slide a paper clip through the hole in the zip slider and use it to open and close the zipper, then remove the paper clip after use.

Product Durability & Care

  What Warranty do your products come with?

  Our products all come with a 5 Year Warranty. Full details can be found at in our under Warranties in our Customer Support section

  Is it true that Sunbrella has a 10 Year Warranty on fading? How is this possible?

  Sunbrella® is the result of over 45 years of ongoing research and development. Sunbrella's® UV-resistant color pigments are fully blended into its high performance fiber during production, making them extremely resistant to fading, even in the harshest of weather conditions.

• top

  Are Sunbrella® fabrics waterproof?

  Because Sunbrella®  fabrics are designed to be breathable, they are water repellent, but not completely waterproof. Over time, the water repellency can be refreshed by using 303 High Tech Fabric Guard, available for purchase on this website

• top

  How do I look after my hammock or bean bag?

  Each product has their own specific care instructions, which can be found on the individual Product pages.

  In general, the best way to keep Sunbrella® fabrics looking good is to simply clean them as needed. Rinse off dust and dirt once a month by giving the products a spray down, wipe spills as soon as they occur or spot clean soon after the stain occurs. For more stubborn stains, Sunbrella® fabrics are bleach cleanable.

  For indoor bean bags simply vacuum and spot clean as required. They can also be professionally dry cleaned if desired.

  Can I leave my hammock outside?

  Lujo Hammocks have been designed to handle the toughest outdoor elements, and can be left outdoors all year round if you desire. However, we recommend bringing the hammock in over winter if not in use, as this will prolong the life of the product. The Kwila stand can be left out all year round, or disassembled for storage

• top

  Can I leave my bean bag outside?

  Our outdoor bean bags are made with a Sunbrella Marine canvas shell with a 10 year Warranty, and a waterproof inner liner, so it is safe to leave them out in all weather. However, we find most customers will use them inside over winter, or store them when not in use outside.

  Our indoor bean bags have been designed purely for indoor use.

• top

  How do I look after the Kwila stand?

  Lujo Hammock Stands are made from treated Kwila, so are extremely weather resistant. However, like all wood, it will weather over time. We recommend oiling the wood once every 6 months or so, to help maintain its natural colour and lustre.

• top

  Will the Kwila bleed?

  Kwila wood contains a large amount of natural oils, which is why it is such a durable wood for outdoor use. There may be an initial period of bleeding, but this will fade naturally over time, or can be waterblasted or bleached to remove quickly. We recommend giving the stand a good hosing down on grass before putting it on paving or deck, to reduce resin bleed

• top

  What happens if I spill something on my hammock or bean bag?

  All the fabrics we use on our indoor and outdoor bean bags and hammocks have been treated and are stain resistant. However, if a stubborn stain persists please view the detailed Care Instructions on the Product pages, where you will find a Stain Chart that will instruct you on how to get rid of particular stains.

• top

  Can I wash my bean bag in the washing machine?

  Lujo Outdoor bean bags are machine washable. Simply remove the shell to wash. We recommend re-spraying with 303 Fabric Guard after washing.

  Lujo Indoor Bean bags are not machine-washable, simply vacuum and spot clean as required. You can however professionally dry clean as needed.

• top

  Can I leave my designer head pillow outside?

  All fabrics we use for the Designer Head Pillow range are suitable for outdoor use, with excellent light-fastness and easy care properties. However, over time these fabrics will fade, so we recommend removing the head pillow and storing out of direct sunlight when possible.
