On a cold night in June 2022, on the island of Corsica, the idea for Atmos Hammock was born. Founder Jackson then 18, and his younger brother Will were backpacking through Europe. They found themselves needing to spend the night off the side of the road, with only a bunch of bushes for cover. They set up their hammocks and prepared to sleep. Little did they know the night would take a turn.

Despite being in the Mediterranean, they were unprepared for the cold, having packed ultralight for the journey. With only a towel each as a makeshift blanket, staying warm was nearly impossible. Jackson had used sleeping pads and underquilts on past trips but always found them bulky and awkward to pack. As they lost heat through the underside of their hammocks, he couldn’t help but wonder if there was a better solution. something warm, lightweight for backpacking, and easy to set up. Thus, the concept for Atmos was born.

After returning from Europe, Jackson dedicated the next year to creating numerous prototypes. even fabricating a custom-designed heat press to manufacture a working example. This hard work culminated in the creation of Atmos, a hammock set to revolutionize outdoor sleeping.
