Floor Hammocks™ for Crew Cab Trucks: How to Choose What You Need
Have you ever considered setting up a hammock in your truck? It sounds like a radical solution to a simple problem, but truck hammocks are growing in popularity for their ease of use and cleaning.
While it might not be a traditional hammock that you might set up on a lakeside, the functionality is the same, providing a moderate amount of suspension that keeps your pet safe and protects your vehicle from scratches and fur.
Never worry about your pup falling onto the floorboard again. With hammock covers, you can help reduce your dog’s nervousness during trips and provide maximum comfort.
A Floor Hammock™ is a type of seat cover that attaches to both the back and front headrests of a vehicle. The fabric drapes down the back of the front seat, across the floor of a crew cab truck, and up to the rear seat headrests with the rear seat folded up. The dog will be allowed to roam without worry of shedding or scratch marks on any part of the truck and will feel stable and secure with all paws on the floorboard.
Created for dog lovers, by dog lovers, the 4Knines Floor Hammock™ is created with heavy-duty materials free from any harmful dyes or heavy metals in the fabric, helping you keep your pet safe no matter what happens on the road.
It’s no secret that your dog is a part of the family, so it’s natural to want to take them with you to work or on vacation with the family. Traveling with a dog is a part of life, but it can be stressful and uncomfortable without the right equipment.
You don’t want to take chances when it comes to your four-legged friend. Floor Hammocks™ provide just enough comfort and peace of mind to make the drive enjoyable for both of you.
Why You Need a Floor Hammock™ for Your Crew Cab Truck
This is great for dogs who might be worried about the gap between the seats and the floor every time you hit the brakes. Allowing them to remain standing on the floor is comforting. It is also a great option for dogs who are arthritic and need a little more padding and stability to rest on during the drive.
Many people choose to purchase Floor Hammocks™ or seat covers from 4Knines for the quilted waterproof fabric. Unlike other waterproof covers, these are very durable, adding comfort while providing the benefits of easy cleaning.
Choosing The Best Floor Hammock™ for Crew Cab Trucks
Whether you have a large or small breed, choosing the right Floor Hammock™ for your needs is important. You should first ensure that the hammock fits in your vehicle, measuring dimensions and seat functionality.

Furthermore, the quilted material is easy on the joints, providing an essential cushion for a more comfortable ride no matter where you are going. This is especially important for older dogs or those predisposed to joint problems.

Cleaning a Floor Hammock™ is Simple

This comfortable padded space is perfect for dogs who might have destructive habits when they get nervous about the car ride, giving them fewer options for chewing, and allowing you to redirect their habits to a chew toy instead.

Furthermore, the waterproof and easy-to-clean material is perfect for dog owners who have long-hair breeds who shed excessively and prevent damage to the truck if your pup has a bathroom accident.
