XXL “Soledad” hammock: The best XXL hammock

Soft, durable and extremely comfortable, this hammock ticks all the boxes on its own! Made in the Colombian tradition on a loom. It is handcrafted with extra fine yarn (a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic). This mixture will allow the hammock to be very soft to the touch thanks to the cotton while effectively resisting the effects of the sun and repeated washing.

A luxurious hammock for the pleasure of total relaxation

It's a perfect hammock to set up indoors or outdoors, and its soothing light blue color matches perfectly with Scandinavian or chic style decor. Its width of 1.80 meters allows everyone to sit comfortably diagonally and feel weightless while being perfectly flat in their hammock.

Sleeping in a hammock: A unique sensory experience!

Sleeping in a hammock offers a different experience than sleeping in a bed. The first moments can sometimes be complicated: finding your position, turning, adjusting. It's a feeling your body will have to get used to. However, after a few days or weeks, the canvas will adapt perfectly to your figure, relieving muscle tension. You will quickly master the movements to enjoy the gentle soothing swing of the hammock to sleep. To go further: The advantages of sleeping in a hammock.

Adopt the correct position for better comfort

In Colombia, it is common to hear that six hours spent in a hammock can provide as much regeneration as eight hours spent in a bed. We invite you to take the test and share your comments. However, if you sleep outdoors in a hammock, be careful of the humidity of the ground. You can counter this problem by placing a tarp on the ground or using a waterproof sleeping bag to snuggle up in your hammock. It's no wonder that many indigenous tribes set up their hammocks over the embers of the fire, providing a truly magnificent sensation.

The use of the hammock in the navy

History teaches us that it was in the 15th century that the hammock was discovered and then brought back to Europe by Christopher Columbus. Quickly, it became very useful for sailors inside ships, (especially English and French sailors). Sailors who previously lay on hard and extremely uncomfortable ship beds were able to appreciate all the benefits of the hammock. The use of the hammock in the European navy continued for three centuries. “Naval hammocks” were made from waterproof canvas, which made them unhygienic in addition to being narrow.

...and also in prisons

Did you know that the English and Australians used this type of hammock in their prisons in the 19th century. For what ? Because the hammock not only offered comfort, but above all, it saved a lot of space. This was because they could be easily removed when not in use.

Hammocks in Latin American prisons

In many prisons in Latin America as well as Vietnam and Cambodia, hammocks are often used to provide a means of sleeping in crowded and unsanitary environments. These hammocks, suspended in cramped cells, offer a practical solution to maximize space and provide some semblance of comfort to inmates. However, their use also raises health and safety concerns, as they can contribute to already difficult living conditions and the spread of disease.
