American Hammocks - Outdoor Hammocks - Garden Hammocks
The American hammock is based on the traditional hammock style, but includes spreader bars. The spreader bars at the head and foot of the hammock thread or spread the weave of the hammock bed into a rectangular shape. Instead of comforming or enveloping the body like a traditional Mayan hammock, the American hammock looks, feels and supports more like a bed matress.
The American hammock is great if you have limited space or no trees to tether your hammock to. This one is ideal for patios, smaller backyards, balconies, poolside and decks. These easily set up on a hammock stand and make a decorative addition to your garden oasis or cottage getaway. This is an ideal outdoor accessory you can decorate with pillows and serapes blankets.
The American hammock provides comfort and support you need for one to three people or a young family! This hammock can easily be enjoyed by taller people and couples, yet not feel too big. This holds true even if it's for one person. The American is a very strong and resistant hammock holding up to 900 lbs. If you are not comfortable with the more traditional Mayan hammock, the American hammock will provide you with a more secure, traditional bed-like feel.
 Both the American hammock and the Mayan hammock are made of cotton, with nylon end strings for extra strength. The comparison between a Mayan and American hammock is a Mayan hammock uses an open style that allows the hammock to expand and contract freely. While a Mayan hammock will envelop you, an American hammock with a spreader bar will provide more even support and a flatter surface to lie on. Both will provide a tight weave, feeling like a solid piece of cloth under you.
American hammocks are great for those who want to spend their days in the outdoors, laying in a hammock. This one is perfect as a patio hammock or garden hammock. The style of this hammock would easily add a decorative touch for anyone looking to accentuate or accessorize an outdoor landscape. This is the hammock for those who want something tougher, yet warm and inviting for friends, family and guests.

Every one of our Mayan hammocks is 100% handwoven by Mayan women in Yucatan, Mexico using centuries old methods. The women make Mayan hammocks to suppliment their family incomes. In this way the women can work and take care of their children at the same time. They watch their own children sleep in these same outdoor hammocks as they make a hammock for trade.
When you get a Mayan hammock, you are contributing directly to Mayan family income, supporting the independence of the women and local community development. If you are looking for the more traditional Mayan hammock style, with the different sizes, it’s strongly suggested to get at least a king size hammock or a super king size / Family hammock.
Whether you choose a traditional Mayan hammock or the more conventional American hammock above, both of these hammocks make for great outdoor hammocks. Get your backyard ready with these beautiful garden hammocks. |
