Back Seat Hammock
Back Seat Hammock
He does not sit. He stands the whole way, front paws on the centre console, then paces, then tries the gap between the seats. You drive with one hand back. The sand and the hair are the part you notice afterwards — the pacing is the part that makes the drive long.
What it does
- Hangs as a hammock between the front and rear headrests, so the footwell is closed off and there is one place to lie down
- Covers the full rear bench and both inner door panels — the two surfaces that take claw marks
- Mesh window in the front wall, so he can see you and the cabin still moves air
- 137cm wide by 147cm long, laid flat
- Knit fabric with a non-slip backing
- Comes out in one piece and hoses down on the driveway
Who it is for
The owner whose dog comes along by default. Trail car parks, the beach, the drive down in December. Medium to large dogs, on a back seat you would rather keep.
What we have not measured yet
The supplier calls it waterproof and scratch-resistant. We have not run water through it or put a claw to it, so we are not repeating their words as ours. When we have tested it here, the result goes in this section.
One thing we already know from buyers of the same design elsewhere: a determined large dog can climb over the side wall. This stops him falling into the footwell. It is not a restraint. If yours is a climber, clip him in.
Headrest straps assume your car has rear headrests you can loop over. Some smaller hatchbacks do not. Measure before you order.

How do I use it?
How do I use it?
It hangs from the headrests and anchors into the seat.
- Loop the straps over the front and rear headrests.
- Push the seat anchors into the gap at the back of the seat.
- Check the mesh window faces forward so he can see you.
To clean it, take it out in one piece and hose it down on the driveway.

We have not yet tested the waterproof and scratch-resistant claims ourselves.
Will it fit my car?

It measures 137cm wide by 147cm long, laid flat. The headrest straps need rear headrests you can loop over. Some smaller hatchbacks do not have them, so measure before you order.

Collapsible content
Sizing
Measure, do not guess. Where a product has sizes, the chart is in the description above, with the exact measurement each size is based on. If your animal falls between two sizes, message us before ordering rather than after.
Delivery
We ship anywhere in South Africa. Rates and timeframes are on the shipping page. Made-to-order items are produced after you order, so they take longer than the rest of the range.
Returns
Faulty or damaged is on us, including the return postage. Change of mind is covered on the returns page. Personalised items cannot be returned for change of mind, which is why we confirm the spelling and size with you in writing first.
What we do not claim
Nothing we sell treats, prevents or cures anything. These are aids, not veterinary care. Where we have not measured something ourselves, the description says so rather than repeating the supplier's word for it.
One place to lie down
He stands the whole way, paws on the console, then paces. The hammock closes off the footwell and gives him one flat place to settle.
Closes off the footwell
It hangs between the front and rear headrests, so the gap he falls into on every corner is gone.
Covers the doors too
The full rear bench and both inner door panels, which are the two surfaces that take claw marks.
He can still see you
A mesh window in the front wall lets him see into the cabin and lets air move through.
What you are actually buying

One flat place to lie instead of a gap to fall into.

Will it fit my car?
It needs rear headrests you can loop the straps over. It is 137cm wide by 147cm long laid flat. Measure your back seat before you order.
Is it waterproof?
The supplier says so. We have not tested it ourselves yet, so we are not promising it. When we have, the result goes on this page.
Will it stop my dog climbing into the front?
It makes it harder, but a determined large dog can climb over the side wall. It is not a restraint. If yours is a climber, clip him to a seat belt tether as well.
How long does delivery take?
2 to 4 working days to most South African addresses, dispatched from Cape Town. You get a tracking number when the parcel is collected, not when the order is placed.
What if it is wrong when it arrives?
Tell us within 30 days and we will sort out a return on anything unused and in its packaging. No restocking fee. Personalised items are the exception, which is why we confirm the spelling with you first.
Are these vet recommended?
No. We will not put those words on a page without a named, consenting, registered vet who has actually reviewed the product, and we do not have one. Nothing here treats, prevents or cures anything. A distressed animal needs a vet, not a product page.
