The XL “Esperanza” Mexican Hammock

The XL “Esperanza” Mexican Hammock is one of our Mexican hammocks that are hand-woven using methods passed down from generation to generation. They are made in Chiapas, a state in southern Mexico where a majority of Mayan descendants still live.

Choosing the Perfect Size of a Mexican Hammock

When looking at Mexican hammock deals online, the variety of sizes can seem quite overwhelming. The length of our Mexican hammocks remains relatively constant (from 4m to 4m20), but it is the width that varies. Our XL hammocks (like this hammock) measure 1m80, sufficient for an adult under 1m80 to sit comfortably diagonally. By choosing a wider and heavier hammock, you are investing in more intensive craftsmanship and better comfort as with our XXL hammocks.

Deciphering the materials in the Mexican hammock

The choice of yarn plays a very important role in the manufacturing and specifications of Mexican hammocks. Two types of yarn dominate: Heavy cotton hammocks, robust and spacious, perfect for family use. For those preferring a finer thread, mercerized cotton will be a good option. A modern alternative is represented by our hammocks, made of fine nylon which offers very stretchable comfort. It resists rain and sun much better than cotton and is ideal for shady environments. Keep in mind that the diagonal is the most comfortable position, making the width of the hammock the primary dimension to consider when making your choice.

For the record, more than 10 years ago, Mexican hammocks suffered a significant drop in exports attributed to a transfer of skills. Indeed, several artisan associations (seeing no harm) have organized training for foreign artisans so that they can learn the techniques for manufacturing Mexican hammocks, a product that has become fashionable for certain Western countries.

Unintended consequences: Falling sales and Chinese interest

Add to this an interest shown by Chinese producers, who in 2006 sent several students to Yucatan to take courses in hammock making and you get a significant risk that the Chinese could mass produce these Mexican hammocks and flood the market with them. hundreds of thousands of pieces.

Change of course: The reaction of Mexican artisans

Subsequently, this fear considerably modified the training strategy of Mexican artisans, who became quite reluctant to share their knowledge. “We don’t always win by opening up age-old wisdom.”
