Three young Australians are selling an “incredibly comfortable” outdoor hammock at an affordable price, and it’s attracting the attention of thousands.
Dean, 33, his wife Tegan, 32, and brother Jarryd, 31, came up with the idea for the Nakie brand after a scuba diving expedition in Southeast Asia.
Instead of returning to shore and gushing about sea life, they couldn’t stop talking about the worrying amount of plastic floating around.
“There were turtles, sharks, manta rays, everything,” Dean told FEMAIL. “But all we could talk about was the straw and trash everywhere.”
This sparked the idea for an outdoor business centered around turning plastic bottles into high-quality hammocks, towels, picnic blankets, and accessories.
And the trio were a huge success, selling a whopping 1,500 of their popular hammocks on Black Friday.
Significantly cheaper than many on the market, this no-fuss piece comes in nine colors and is made from triple-stitched and uniquely designed polyester for strength, durability, and comfort.
Each one is made from 37 recycled bottles and is extremely quick and easy to set up. No knots required. All you need is a pair of trees. Also, the load capacity is a whopping 225kg.
The reviews speak for themselves, with nearly 1,000 shoppers raving about their purchase, whether they’re using it at home, in the garden, on picnics or while camping.
“It took me a long time to decide if I wanted this product, but I didn’t need to delay. It’s just as good as it says in the ad. I love it. Just love it. It’s small and compact, so You can leave it in your car and take it anywhere,” one person wrote.
“These are really great. So quick to set up and so comfortable. Bought a hammock for myself and ended up having to buy hammocks for the whole family,” another wrote.
“I’m a single mom who loves camping but hates fancy gear. I just received my hammock and couldn’t wait to go camping. I had it installed in no time. Very sturdy and very relaxing. It’s the EFFING BEST. And it’s small. This will be a gift for all my friends for years to come. That’s why it has so many top reviews. I know. It was the best thing I’ve ordered in years.”
Nakie also carries many popular accessories to go with your hammock, including foldable backpacks, insect nets, and ultralight tarpaulins.
We also sell luxurious beach towels, picnic blankets, and our famous ultra-comfy fluffy blankets that will keep you warm and cozy in any weather conditions.
A shopper said of the latter: “It’s very warm and comfortable. It’s like a weighted blanket, but without the weight.”
“We love boating, camping and fishing, so there was no question that this would be a good business direction for us,” said Dean, who said it was the first time he had seen bottles transformed into material. added that it was “the best day of my life”.
“We’ve saved 14 million bottles so far, which is amazing. We also plant four trees for every product sold, so that’s what sets us apart in the market. There is.
“You get the best quality possible at an affordable price, and when you buy, you’re planting a tree and helping the environment. We also give back as much as we can. We recently donated $500,000 worth of fluffy blankets to charity.”
