hammock; swinging crib
A suspended bed or crib, often made of canvas or netting. The cross-reference to ハンモック suggests it is essentially synonymous with the loanword, though 吊り床 is the native Japanese term.

In the context of suspension rope bondage (緊縛), a secure overhead anchor point from which a person is suspended. Restricted to the 吊 kanji spellings.

Rare variant combining 釣 with no okurigana.
Mixed kana-kanji spelling; sometimes used for clarity.
Same as 吊り床 but without okurigana; less common in modern writing.
Uses 釣 (fishing) instead of 吊 (suspend); considered nonstandard for this word.
Compound of 吊り (tsuri, 'hanging') + 床 (toko, 'bed'). The spelling 釣り床 is a common ateji substitution using 釣 (fishing) for the homophonous 吊 (suspend).
