A portable hammock stand with three major components that can be easily disassembled for transport or storage. The components are preferably made of lightweight metal tubing or other material of similar strength and rigidity. The lateral component on each side consists of an upwardly extending telescoping shaft (or pair of shafts) of adjustable length, detachably fastened at an angle to a horizontal shaft which is clamped between a pair of compression springs on each side, with the springs in turn supported on another shaft with wheels. The central component consists of an assembly of interlocking levers, detachably fastened at the outer extents of the component to the upright shafts of the lateral components. The levers transmit the weight of an occupant of the hammock to a central assembly of extension springs. The compression springs at the base of the lateral components allow a side to side swaying of the structure which prolongs the swinging of the hammock, while the extension springs at the centre allow an inward tilting of the lateral components with a vertical springing movement. The combination of movements provides a uniquely relaxing experience for an occupant of the hammock.
