Mayan Hammocks

Mayan hammocks are not only a beautiful sample of craftsmanship, they are also the most comfortable place to rest, read, sleep, relax, etc.

The soft texture of Mayan hammocks form a thin net that adapts to the body.

Mayan hammocks don't have transversal wood stands, due to this the weft of the weave molds to the body giving firm fastening and making them more stable and sure.

Mayan hammocks are very wide so anyone can lie down in a diagonal or transversal position sustaining straight and protected the back. Body weight is distributed evenly throughout the hammock. This is the adequate and ideal posture for sleeping, as the inhabitants of the Mayan zone have been doing for hundreds of years.

Mayan hammocks are handmade in a loom and use very thin cotton threads which provide the best ventilation possible. A hammock is woven with 2 miles of cord and the Mayan weavers take about 80 hours to complete one. The produced hammock is strong enough to hold a ton. They are easy to transport, store, light and ideal for trips: a hammock weighs between 0.5 and 1.5 kilograms, depending on the style and size.

These hammocks come from a very ancient tradition and are produced by experienced weavers that have as a result an excellent product. Mayan hammocks are made with care and dedication by indigenous families that live in remote villages in Mexico and Central America.
