\"vessel\"<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

We all love a hammock<\/b><\/h4>\n

For some they remind us of sun-soaked days among the palm trees; for others a free lifestyle. But apparently they are one of the most comfortable ways to sleep. Sleeping in a hammock has been likened to being cocooned in the womb and encouraging deeper sleep. Certainly there are no pressure points to give discomfort.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Comfort of the hammock bath<\/b><\/h4>\n

Is the hammock bath as comfortable? Well there\u2019s every reason to expect that it is – including its long length of nine feet. Room for a tall one, or maybe two people to share!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s designed to be attached to the wall on both sides using stainless steel brackets, but doesn’t swing like its garden or beach counterpart. You fill the hammock via a floor standing faucet, and empty it from the bottom straight to a floor drain similar to those in a wet room.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bath is made from a strong carbon fibre which is moulded to shape. This material makes it very light and able to hang from the walls. The bath also has a foam core which helps to insulate the bath and keep the water warmer for longer. It’s also available in several colours: black, red, bronze, silver, blue, yellow and glorious pink.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A glittering shoe<\/b><\/h4>\n

Or perhaps you prefer the glitz and glamour of fashion accessories for your bath tub? Yes a\u00a0glittering stiletto shoe!<\/a>\u00a0It\u2019s true, Italian designer Massimiliano Della Monaca has designed a shoe-shaped bath covered in glitzy glass mosaics fit for any would-be star … who already has the income!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spinning bath\/shower<\/b><\/h4>\n

Maybe you\u2019d love to try Ron Arad\u2019s\u00a0Rotator<\/a>\u00a0Bathtub. It starts as a huge wall hung circular bath in which you can enjoy all the usual bath time pleasures. But the whole thing can revolves to become a standing shower. Clever! It was designed for Italian bathroom manufacturer Teuco.<\/p>\n

More down to earth<\/b><\/h4>\n

Maybe you prefer a tub that has its feet firmly on the ground like the Luca, the Red Cleo or the Mini-Square? There are a host of\u00a0contemporary bath tubs<\/a>\u00a0available which will all make a real statement in your bathroom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you prefer a nod to former days of glory then you will also find a great choice of more traditional looking\u00a0freestanding bath tubs<\/a>. There really is every choice for your preference.<\/p>\n
