XXL Premium “Cartagena” hammock: An exceptional hammock

This large "double-sided" hammock, measuring 1.80 meters wide, is carefully handmade in Colombia with extra fine wire. A fair trade product, it is entirely “carved” on both sides, a technique that only the Wayuu Indians and certain Colombian artisans have mastered perfectly.

The quality of the traditional San Jacinto hammock

San Jacinto, a town of tradition, is renowned for its handcrafted Colombian hammocks. It is renowned throughout Colombia for its hammocks hand-woven by local artisans. These fantastic hammocks are an integral part of the region's cultural identity and are valued for their quality and comfort. The process of making such a hammock goes through several stages and techniques. It usually takes 10-15 days to produce this type of hammock.

How do I position myself correctly in my hammock?

For you to be completely comfortable with your hammock, it is important that it can form an elegant curve when hung. Excessive tension will limit the usable width. Don't make the mistake of lying lengthwise. It's the hammock that should be shaped like a banana, not you. Extending widthwise and diagonally ensures the best comfort. The extra large dimensions of this model (1.80 m width, 2.40 m sleeping length and 4.10 m total length) allow diagonal installation, which will make your rest magical.

An extra comfortable hammock for all spaces

Extra comfortable, it is the ultimate luxury hammock. Designed for indoors and outdoors, it is a dense fabric piece, made with lots of love and patience. Due to its 100% artisanal production, this hammock may have some imperfections. It is sure to have a prime location in your country, beach or main home.

A hammock for chatting and relaxing

Spending time in an outdoor hammock or in your home can change the way you look at life. We decide to take the time. We learn to appreciate the little things and the beauty of nature. It influences our choices and our attitude towards the world. This lifestyle invites us to slow down and live more in harmony with our environment. By taking the time to connect with nature, we find peace and balance between our daily obligations. Although it may seem difficult, these small changes bring big benefits to our body and mind.

Origin of the hammock in Europe

Although Christopher Columbus familiarized Europe with the hammock by bringing it from Latin America, it is incorrect to attribute the paternity of this invention to him. Indeed, we find in the travel diary of Luttrell Psautier (in England) the existence of these objects before the discovery of the Americas on October 12, 1492. This manuscript dates approximately between 1330 and 1940.
