The Maya XXL Mexican Hammock “Alebrije 2”: A treasure of Mexican craftsmanship

If you are looking for a truly exceptional hammock, you have come to the right page! Made with an exceptional weaving technique and featuring spectacular colors, this durable hammock stands out for its absolute comfort, but it is much more than that. It is the fruit of centuries of Mexican craftsmanship and the hammock tradition in Latin America.

A cultural heritage woven into every thread

What makes the QUEEN MAYA unique is its woven mesh arms. Expertly woven artisan ties not only make them visually captivating, but also incredibly durable. Each QUEEN MAYA hammock requires between ten and fifteen days of meticulous work, reflecting the commitment of our artisans to perpetuate an ancient art.

With an impressive width of 2m20, this hammock offers generous space to lie down lengthwise or widthwise. Designed to comfortably accommodate 2 to 3 people, the QUEEN MAYA is reinforced with an extra amount of thread in its fabric, making the hammock bed even softer and adaptable to various situations. Its large size also allows for a wider color palette, to satisfy all tastes.

Mexican craftsmanship at the heart of each stitch

Our Mexican hammocks, like the QUEEN MAYA, are the result of a tradition preserved for centuries. Handmade in the Chiapas regions of southern Mexico, they are the result of the hard work of four artisan families. This ancestral technique has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is steeped in the history of the region. In the past, the state of Chiapas was a production area for Ixtle and Henequen, plants that were used to make the first hammocks.

Uncompromising durability with 100% Nylon

The QUEEN MAYA is made from 100% nylon, the same material used in making fishing nets. This means it can withstand extreme weather conditions, whether frost, rain or shine, making it the ideal choice for outdoor use all year round. Although robust, we recommend storing it under cover after use to ensure its longevity.

The Mexican nylon hammock: The best companion for the European summer

For many Europeans, the Nylon Mexican Hammock is the go-to choice for summer. Unlike cotton, which can deteriorate under prolonged exposure to sun and rain, nylon offers increased durability while maintaining almost the same level of comfort. In the south of Mexico, where temperatures are hot almost all year round, the hammock is used daily as an alternative to the bed, thanks to the air circulation offered by its net, a perfect solution against the heat.

Distance between the ground and the hammock

This is a fairly recurring question from our customers. Indeed, the height of the hammock is also a crucial element to ensure comfortable use. A recommended height is generally around 50cm empty, between the ground and the bottom of the hammock. This is so you can sit down and get out of the hammock elegantly and easily.
