The hammock is used extensively in Central America and is a classic example of a timeless style conveying natural strength, harmony and tranquility - major factors influencing modern Mexican interior design.
Our hammocks are handwoven in Mexico from soft, strong cotton yarn which moulds itself to the shape of your body. The end strings of each hammock are made from tough nylon thread for extra strength.
Outside the home it is not necessary to have two ideally spaced trees for your hammock. A post, exterior wall or tree can be used as a permanent fixing point and it's a simple affair to rig up additional temporary supports. Our Mexican hammocks easily fit into a shoebox and can be taken to the park, forest, campsite, etc. For travellers abroad our hammocks have become the essential item for relaxing on warm, sunny days in almost any situation.
The secret to the comfort of Mexican hammocks is in the width of the net. Hammocks were originally designed to be used crosswise or diagonally. This is not possible with conventional European hammocks which are generally very narrow and constrictive. When lying across a real hammock your body weight is distributed over the weave providing good back support, a flatter lying position and greater comfort.
