Ancient Mexican tradition
Our Mexican Hammocks, made in Chiapas, southern Mexico, perpetuate a centuries-old tradition. They are handcrafted by artisan families, using ancestral methods passed down from generation to generation. Formerly, the Chiapas region was renowned for its production of Ixtle and Henequen, used in the making of the first hammocks.
A Mexican nylon hammock: The guarantee of an outdoor hammock
Made of 100% Nylon, the same material as fishing nets, our hammock is weather-resistant. It can withstand the most extreme conditions, from frost to rain and sun. To maintain its quality, it is recommended to store the hammock indoors after use. In winter, prefer storing it inside the house rather than outdoors or in a garage. It is also advisable to wash it at least once a year to prevent dust mites from settling in. In Mexico and Brazil, where people often use their hammock as their main bed, it is washed every two weeks.
The Mexican hammock: The best choice for outdoors
The Mexican Nylon Hammock is the preferred choice for outdoor use. Unlike cotton, which can be damaged by 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 replacement for a bed, offering optimal ventilation to combat the heat. Do you like our XXL QUEEN MAYA hammocks?

When hammocks weave matrimonial ties
Regarding marriage, many indigenous communities in Latin America do not ritualize it. The fiancé or fiancée joins their partner in their home by setting up their hammock near theirs. Sometimes, during the early days, they use a larger hammock that can accommodate both of them.
In case of separation, it is simply a matter of removing one's hammock. However, in the context of a ritualized marriage, the hammock can take on particular importance. Among the Ka'apor of eastern Brazil, marriage is officially announced by the village chief while the couple is seated in a hammock, their heads wrapped in a cloth. In the Caribbean region, the hammock has also sometimes been used as a dowry.
Did you know?
Hammocks have the ability to adapt to the position of the person resting in them, creating a unique relaxation experience. It is therefore not surprising to feel some discomfort when using a hammock that is not your own.
