Abstract
An illuminating hammock includes a flexible hammock bed, an electrical light assembly, and an elastic light suspension system. The electrical light assembly includes first and second flexible inelastic light strands extending along opposing sides of the hammock bed, and having respective proximal and distal ends. A wire junction is formed at the proximal ends of the light strands. The wire junction resides proximate the first end of the hammock bed with the distal ends of the light strands extending towards the opposite end of the hammock bed. The elastic light suspension system is operatively connected to the light assembly, and is adapted for elastically tensioning the first and second light strands when a user is positioned on the hammock bed.
