Mayan hammocks are considered the most comfortable in the world. A miracle of craftsmanship, these unique two-person beds are 7 feet and 2 inches long by a whopping 12 feet wide and are made up of more than 2 miles of fine cotton cord strung over hundreds of strong white nylon arm strings--a construction that is capable of supporting more than 1,000 pounds. And that's hardly the impressive part.

The parade of color on these hammocks span fuchsia, red, fiery orange, sky blue, black, white, and the greenest of greens: a display as delightful as the floating feeling you'll get when you rest on one. Our only caution? When you first open the package you'll probably be overwhelmed by the thousands of tiny strings that look like one daunting tangle. Before hanging, spread the bed out straight on the ground, then pick up one handle at a time and shake gently. The strings should fall out neatly, and you'll be ready to float in style.

Though most of the products of the Mayan civilization are lost, the Mayan hammock lives on today. The Mayan hammock is possibly the highest achievement in hammock design. Unchallenged as the most comfortable of all the hammocks.
