Maya XXL Mexican Hammock “Guacamaya”

Mexican Maya XXL hammock “Guacamaya”: A unique weave

Handmade hammocks are among Mexico's best-known artisanal products. People use them for sitting, resting or sleeping. It has a symbolic value since it has its origins in the Mayan culture, where it was used for different rituals such as weddings, births and burials. In Mexico, in the state of Yucatan and Chiapas, this artisanal activity is considered one of the most commercially important. In the Yucatan, more precisely in the towns of Chemas, Chichimila, Tekom and Tixcacalcupul, hammocks are still made from henequen (agave), a very resistant and long-lasting material.

The Queen Maya Hammock is a true work of art of relaxation and comfort, thanks to its exceptional weaving technique and spectacular colors. This hammock is designed to last, and its particularity lies in its woven mesh arm. The handcrafted ties woven onto the arms not only make it more durable, but also visually captivating. The manufacture of this hammock requires between ten and fifteen days of meticulous craftsmanship.

Extraordinary dimensions

With its generous dimensions of 2m20 in width, the Queen Maya Hammock offers a space spacious enough for two to three people to lie down comfortably.

Its additional quantity of thread in its fabric makes it even more pleasant when resting. Due to its large size, it also allows for a variety of dazzling colors to suit every taste.

The Mexican hammock: An ancestral manufacture

Our Mexican hammocks are woven using an ancestral technique in the regions of Chiapas, in the south of Mexico, by families of artisans who perpetuate this know-how from generation to generation. Once used to make the first hammocks, Ixtle and Henequen fibers add a touch of history and authenticity to each hammock.

Choose an XXL nylon hammock

Our Queen Maya XXL “Guacamaya” hammock is made from 100% nylon, the same material used in the manufacture of fishing nets. This means it can be used outdoors all year round. It resists extreme weather conditions such as frost, rain and sun. However, we recommend storing it under cover after use to ensure its longevity.

A hammock for warmth: Perfect around a swimming pool

This Nylon Mexican Hammock offers the best of both worlds: the superior durability of nylon while providing almost the same comfort as cotton. In the hot regions of Mexico, it is often preferred over bed because its mesh allows for better air circulation, providing an ideal solution against the heat.

Numerous studies and analyzes in Mexico and around the world on the benefits of sleeping in hammocks demonstrate the benefits of sleeping in hammocks. One of the major benefits is the reduction of bacteria and microbes found in traditional mattresses. Hammocks, when properly maintained and regularly washed, provide an environment less conducive to the proliferation of these unwanted microorganisms. This feature contributes to better hygiene and a reduction in the risk of associated infections.
