A hammock assembly is provided and includes a zipper fastening system, a hammock, and a cover. The zipper fastening system includes a first tape section and second tape section corresponding to the first tape section. The hammock includes a hammock body with the first tape section attached to an edge thereof. The cover includes a cover body having the second tape section attached to an edge thereof. The cover is removably attachable to the hammock by connecting the first tape section and the second tape section.

Stop member includes: a first member including a first insert to be inserted into a slider via a rear mouth of the slider, and a first base positioned rearward of the first insert; and a second member including a second insert to be inserted into the slider via a slit extending between the rear mouth and a front mouth of the slider, and a second base to be overlaid onto the first base. The first and second bases are configured to effect magnetic attraction and/or repulsion between the first and second bases when the first and second bases are overlaid. The second base rotates relative to the first base in accordance with the magnetic attraction and/or repulsion to allow the second insert to pivot toward the slit.
