Ancient Mexican tradition

Our Mexican Hammocks, made in Chiapas, in the south of Mexico, perpetuate a centuries-old tradition. They are made by hand, within families of artisans, using ancestral methods passed down from generation to generation. In the past, the Chiapas region was famous for its production of Ixtle and Henequen, used in making the first hammocks.

A nylon hammock: The guarantee of an outdoor hammock

Made of 100% Nylon, the same material as fishing nets, our hammock resists bad weather. It can withstand the most extreme conditions, from frost to rain to sun. To maintain its quality, it is recommended to store the hammock under cover after use. In winter, choose storage inside the house rather than outside or in a garage. It is also advisable to wash it at least once a year to prevent dust mites from taking up residence there. In Mexico and Brazil, where people often make their hammock their main bed, it is washed every two weeks.

The Mexican hammock: The best choice for outdoors

The Nylon Mexican Hammock is the preferred choice for outdoor use. Unlike cotton, which can become damaged with prolonged exposure to sun and rain, Nylon offers superior durability, while ensuring similar comfort. In the hot regions of Mexico, it is used daily as a bed replacement, providing optimal ventilation to counter the heat. Do you like our XXL QUEEN MAYA hammocks?

When hammocks weave marital bonds

Regarding marriage, many indigenous communities in Latin America do not ritualize it. The fiancé or bride comes to join their spouse in their home by setting up their hammock close to theirs. Sometimes, in the early days, they use a larger hammock that can accommodate both of them.

In the event of separation, simply remove your hammock. However, in the context of a ritualized wedding, the hammock can take on particular importance. Among the Ka'apor of eastern Brazil, the marriage is officially announced by the village chief while the couple sits in a hammock, their heads wrapped in a cloth. In the Caribbean region, the hammock was also sometimes used as a dowry.

Hammocks have the ability to adapt to the position of the person resting on them, creating a unique relaxation experience. It is therefore not surprising to feel some discomfort when using a hammock that does not belong to you.
