Hanging Your Mayan Hammock

Finding an Angle:

The most comfortable way to enjoy your Mayan hammock is to lay at an angle with a droop in the middle. This ensures better distribution of weight, lessening tension, and greater back support. Feel free to experiment to find your favorite position.

Hanging a Mayan Hammock Indoors:

Hang your Mayan hammock from wall studs or ceiling beams. Find center of stud or beam and screw in hooks with a power drill. Ropes or chains can be used to compensate for extra distance. Never hang loops end directly from hanging hook. Suggested distance is 12+ feet.

Hanging a Mayan Hammock Outdoors:

Can be hung from trees, strong fence posts, side of garage, patio beams, etc… Hammock should be hung about 6 feet from the ground. Use rope or chain to compensate for extra distance. Never hang loops end directly from hanging hook. Suggested distance is 12+ feet. you have any questions or you'd like to contact us with your hammock stories and pictures, we'd love to hear from you.

Getting Into your Mayan Hammock:

NEVER climb in feet first. Sit with your back to the hammock, as if you were sitting on a chair. Reach behind you and spread out the hammock before sitting (this will ensure you make full use of the space and your weight is distributed evenly). Now sit, lay back and relax.

Caring For Your Mayan Hammock:

Your hammock is made of cotton and should you find your hammock in need of a wash, you can easily put in the washer. Simply put your hammock in the wash on the cold washing cycle and gentle wash along with a small scoop of laundry detergent. Once washed you may want to hang dry it.
