Can you hang a hammock chair in your home without using a stand by attaching it to the ceiling if so how?

Yes you can :) we did it in my daughters room and she loves it! All u have to do is find the stud (rafter) in the ceiling and have it hooked on a sturdy hook. But don't get to wild on it or you can split the rafter!!

The problem with mounting the hammock to the ceiling is that the high mounting points puts lots of curve in the hammock, which isn't very comfortable. You could flatten it out by separating the mounting points further, but then that substantially elevates the hammock off the floor, making it difficult to get in. I just finished hanging a large spreader bar type for two people on our porch, and started out hanging it from the ceiling. Despite several attempts, it wasn't feasible to mount it that way. I dropped down to the side walls with the anchor points and it worked fine. Hooks were about 48" off the floor...putting the hammock about 24" off the floor...
