The consequences of globalization on the manufacture of hammocks

The hammock has not escaped the excesses of globalization. The rise in cotton prices has led many hammock distributors to produce industrially in China or India. Lower cost manufacturing combined with the search for profits has resulted in “cheap” hammocks appearing almost everywhere. New materials such as polyester or polypropylene (derived from plastic) have been integrated into the manufacture of cotton canvases. For those of you who want a hammock that will last for years, a traditional Colombian hammock is the best choice you can make. Trust us, you will not be disappointed by the quality of our models.

The daily life of Colombian farmers and the importance of the hammock

The hammock is an integral part of the daily life of farmers in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Indeed, they are used for various events such as birth, sleep, naps, transport of the sick and even funerals. Due to its versatility, the hammock is considered one of the most practical fabric pieces of furniture in Colombia.

The story of the "combat jolt" and the hammock

Originally, in the 17th century navy, "arm's-length" meant a lot of movement and agitation, as in quickly preparing to act. On ships, sailors slept in hammocks called "branles". In the event of an attack, they had to put them away quickly to free the bridge and fight. This created a big commotion, hence the expression. It is always used to describe a very turbulent situation, and even in the army to say that one is ready to fight.
