So it's a camping hammock in a back pack and some poly cord. I've stuffed a camping hammock in my hiking bag for years. This is like selling the idea of bringing extra socks...
Hey, a fellow fat hanger! I am 6'5 and 350. Been sleeping 100% on a hammock for over 4 years now.
First, I started off with the hammock stand that /u/Nicktav already linked to (Amazon Link). I used this for about a year. I actually bent it over time. Got another one, bent it too, then decided to do something else.
Next, came this. And this has been going three years strong.

I love it!! No issues with me and this misses (and even the little one) all in at the same time.
The the picture is a bit out of date. I hung a TV on the left wall, so I can hang and watch before sleeping.
The hammock I use is the Grand Trunk Double. 4 years of 350lb nightly sleeping and it hangs like new.
It looks really nice! I've decided to transform my seldom used dining room into my main houseplant area and am struggling to figure out where and how to add shelves. This looks clean and organized and I wouldn't have to deal with where to hang anything.
I removed my dining room table and was seriously thinking about putting a hanging chair swing right in the middle of the room so I can just be one with my plants. If I could also line the walls with these shelves and adorn them with my plant friends I'd be in heaven =]
So I’ve been sleeping in my hammock for a few weeks now, and have really liked it. The hammock I bought is here:
Hammock Sky Brazilian Double... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB03YA2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
And the stand is here:
Sunnydaze 550-Pound Capacity... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016KUWT5M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The stand is quite large, but kind of needs to be. I didn’t need to buy anything else, everything I needed to hand was included in the two kits. The frame is a little heavy, but moveable by one person. You can put it together alone, but two people makes assembly much easier.
I used this for the last two Roo's and it worked great. Is more like a hammock/ cot hydrid. But, its cheap and pretty comfy.

In the 30 dollar range I would say most of the amazon ones will be pretty similar. Though anything that you get as a feature is probably a cost cut somewhere else.
Something like this might be a good start. It has tree straps with it, but I would strongly recommend getting a ridge line somewhere. Arrowhead has some adjustable ones that you can take with you between hammocks if you get into it and want to get a nicer one. There is also Dream hammock for a bit less and will make it to the length of your hammock. Usually you want your ridge line about 83% of your hammock length, and they are easy to make if your up for it and have some amsteel laying around.
This all works for body and suspension, but do know that under insulation is important if you're sleeping in it. You can use a cheap foam pad or camping pad if you want to save money.

I've had this for about 45 days. No bad nights at all. I'm 6'3" 320lbs.
Made by "Enjoydeal" ?
This is my very first hammock, bought it on Amazon (link below). It's probably going to get snubbed at because it's a "cheapo" but it worked great as something to get started with for a beginner. I loved the built in mosquito net. Brother and I both bought 'em and a friend used some netted one and liked ours so much, he ended up buying the same one also.

If you don't have trees, you can get a hammock on a frame. I have one like this that I bring camping and it's pretty awesome! I used to have it up on my patio when I lived in a 2nd story condo and it was almost as good as not being on a patio.
It's $50 now but the order I looked up said it was a little under 40 when we bought it, might have been a random sale or coupon code but this is the exact model we purchased in 2015.

The straps we bought

The carabiners we got aren't on amazon but it was "Black Diamond Positron Screwgate Carabiner." Just make sure it's enough to hold the weight you plan on putting and it'll be good.
I also bought a wall mount kit and we would randomly hang it in the office for a cozy reading or nap spot. A couple of lag screws and hooks and it was ready.
I have one of these at home http://www.amazon.com/Algoma-Ft-Steel-Hammock-Stand/dp/B002EZNB7I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1395409439&sr=8-5&keywords=hammock+stand that works great.
My daughter has a Hanging Seat Hammock that sounds like it may provide the same sort of feeling that he's looking for.
If that doesn't work, could you live with privacy window clings?
It looks like this one: http://www.amazon.com/New-Wooden-Curved-Hammock-Stand/dp/B00252FKT2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1381766406&sr=8-5&keywords=hammock+stand
Plenty of portable stand options. I've made turtle-dog stands using bamboo, made Madera style hammock stands using cheap pine 2X2s (just make sure you get the ground anchor done well, test this in advance). I've used my Jeep as one side of the hammock, and a stand on the other.
There's even the "one tree" stand that is nothing more than a 6' pole. I've done this countless times, and manage to amaze people all the time. The idea here is that you can secure one side of your hammock to a truck or tree or something that doesn't move, and anchor the other side down low, either to a bumper, or tree-stump, or park bench. Anything sturdy. Then, simply put a pole up on the low side to lift the end. The pole does not have to be anchored out, it can fee free to wobble and wiggle around.
The top of the pole, when your weight is on it, will tend to sway a foot or so back and forth with normal motion, and everyone will think it's about to fall over, but your weight will tend to keep it upright. Pushing it too far will often result in the base kicking out, but normal swinging and swaying won't do this, only aggressive movements. Try it!
A relatively cheap and comfortable option is the GT nano 7; http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Hammock-Reviews/Grand-Trunk-Nano-7
It is my favorite hammock, because I like lightweight, small gear. It comes with a couple of carabiners at the ends, but those are meant to be replaced with a more permanent suspension (I added whoopie slings, which are slightly expensive to buy, but cheap and easy to make if you have a sailing supply store nearby). The result is a modular hammock; the hammock itself is very light, so I can take it by itself to a lot of places, but the insulation and bugnet are carried separately, which means that I can customize for each trip. Last weekend, I took it camping with my girlfriend, and we had some extra insulation but no bugnet.
If you are looking for a first hammock, you might just want to get something cheap with a built in bugnet. In the UP in the summer, bugs are going to be a serious problem for you. I started with this one, and used it for a week long trip in Russia: http://www.amazon.com/Byer-of-Maine-Moskito-Hammock/dp/B00092M246
As Zooshooter suggested, Hennessy and Warbonnet are some of the more comfortable options that would be sold complete with everything you need (except insulation).
Thank you! Here's a link to one that is similar. It's the most comfortable thing to relax in when I'm watching youtube and having a cup of coffee in the morning.
I've seen things like this seat at furniture stores before. Not quite the same as a swing, but similar?
Here is what I used...

Hey, a little late to the party, and while this is not a comprehensive list, I can tell you that I always end up needing these things
Hope that helps and good luck, sounds fun!
Taking down and storing a hammock is only work when you've got a big, bulky hammock with spreader bars. The spreader bars force you to fold up the hammock and roll it around the bars, which makes a large, heavy, bulky and awkward bundle.
A parachute fabric camping hammock, however, is something you can stuff down into a little carry sack about the size of your shoe. Stuff it anyway you like; it won't hurt the hammock.
As a starter, amazon has basic camping hammocks like this one for under $25. I actually got that one for my Dad, for his birthday, for about $8 less when Amazon had it on sale. (Amazon Prime Day is coming up on July 11th, so it may be on sale again soon.) I chose that one for him because it's rated at 550 lbs, it has nice carabiners with twist locks on 'em, and it comes with hanging straps. It was a great deal, and it still is.
As for the hammock that I slept in for almost two years, I got one with a 9-foot collapsible frame, like this one, which is currently $56 with the frame. You can get the same hammock without the frame; it's currently $34, but I've seen them get down to $23 to $28. Again, no spreader bar means you can fold, roll, or ball up your hammock; it won't hurt the fabric. I take the one I have with the collapsible frame with me to the beach or when I'm travelling; I just stuff the hammock, a pillow, and some sheets into the carry bag with the rest of the frame and I'm good to go.
I really can't stress how much you're shooting yourself in the foot if you get a hammock with spreader bars.
Hell yes I wanna help!
String fairy lights.
A cool hanging lantern.
A corner shelf cause you can never find anything to put in the damn corner!
A little friend to keep you company.
Some snazzy rope lights (we have them in the bedroom. very cool).
Ceiling stars because screw you there awesome.
Don't act like you wouldn't want one.
And this so you can talk on the telephone while lying in bed.
And this so you can blow dry your hair while you talk on the telephone.
For anyone wondering, I think it's an Ikea ekorre hanging chair. They don't have it listed on Ikea's website anymore, but this type of thing:
https://www.amazon.com/Ekorre-Swing-Hanging-Hammock-Silver/dp/B002XPNMFU
Kind of funny because ekorre means furry hanging sack in swedish. ^^not ^^really
Why would you be limited to spreader bar hammocks for a stand like this?
Also, for the lazy, here’s a link to the stand: Vivere 15' Heavy Duty 3-Beam Hammock Stand, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002URUA38/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iEeTDbYJY5XTM
This might work for you, and you don't have to make any permanent holes in the walls or ceiling. http://www.amazon.com/Vivere-15BEAM-BLK-3-Beam-Hammock-15-Feet/dp/B002URUA38/ref=pd_tcs_subst_lg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0E8E97V7WBJWN6235M2J
This is what I ended up doing for my bedroom setup. https://www.reddit.com/r/Hammocks/comments/1nntp5/bedroom_hammock_setup_done/ I don't sleep in it all the time, mostly for naps. Also whenever my back is a bit sore from work or whatever.
Good luck!
Not to be a dick but...
There's more money here
Hammock stands
For those who are curious, it's a Byer Paradiso hammock.
I slept in the hammock last night (we have guests over and they took my bed) and I have no complaints. The sand under the hammock could be a bit more level so that the whole thing doesn't wobble but it's only 2-3 degrees tops.
Looks legit, but their site doesn't show any USA retailers, even online. :/
Well, except for this: https://www.amazon.com/Amazonas-Paradiso-Hammock-Double-Terra/dp/B001ECQ6LU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499628431&sr=8-2&keywords=amazonas
And, that luxury one looks awesome. But too rich for me, as well!
For a stand you could buy this or you could use eye bolts and put them in the wall studs. Also I have found hammocks as cheap as 10$, 16.50 with shipping or you could get this one. I use kevlar Mule tape for my tree straps, you could hook these to I beams or whatever sturdy things there are and make them longer to as needed.
I got you fam.
Byer of Maine Model A4030 Madera Hammock Stand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00092M278/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EEpuxbK58CJZQ
I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00092M246/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But it looks like the price has gone up in the last 2 years.
I don't think those hammocks with the bug net only over your face would be sufficient. I like the full netting and a sleeping pad on the bottom.
