 For more than 3000 years, the Mayans developed a great culture with rich traditions. In the Yucatan, Mayan hammocks have been used as an important piece of furniture for indoors or outdoors and for resting and relaxations.
Mayan hammocks or Mexican hammocks are the most comfortable hammocks on Earth. The soft, yet supportive feeling is unmatched compared to other hammock styles. Once you try one of these you will never use anything else. The feeling has been compared to weightlessness or like floating in a cloud.
Every one of our Mayan hammocks is a 100% cotton hammock, handwoven by Mayan women in the Yucatan of Mexico using centuries old
methods. The women work on hammocks to suppliment their family incomes. In this way the women can work and take care of their children at the same time.
When you get a Mayan hammock or Mexican hammock, you are contributing directly to family income, supporting the self-sufficiency of the women and the development of the whole community.
Single Hammocks
The Single size Mayan hammock is great for solo use, for a lazy day on the beach or traveling. It's also great for young children old enough to use and enjoy ahammock. Smaller children must ALWAYS be supervised.
For adults this hammock may feel a little cramped to cuddle with that someone special, so couples should consider a larger size. Single hammocks also make great storage for soft goods like sleeping bags, pack sacks, and pillows. |
Queen / Double Hammocks
This is a good size for taller people or couples. The woven bed expands as wide as 7 feet, yet is still compact enough to take along on a camping trip or picnic. The weave will open up more than in the larger sizes but will still remain very comfortable.
The Queen is a light yet strong hammock. We recommend it for camping and outdoors. Easy to carry, easy to handle, choose a Queen (double) hammock if you want to cuddle with some special. Your summer will never be so good! |
King Size Hammocks
All the support you need for one to three people! If you plan to share your hammock space frequently with a friend or loved one we recommend the King size. The weave is very dense and will remain practically solid when you lay in the hammock. If you're looking for the best overall value in comfort and size the King size is the way to go.
TheKing is a very strong and resistant hammock holding up to 900 lbs. The larger the hammock the more comfortable it will feel. This holds true even for one person. Try the King. |

All our Mayan hammocks are cotton hammocks. Cotton, being a natural fiber, has a much nicer feel to them and with the right care, can last for many years. The end strings are always made of strong nylon. The colors of the Mayan cotton hammocks tend to be more pleasing to the eye, whereas the colors of the nylon threads are bright and shiny. The natural cotton hammocks come in all colors of the rainbow, available in one solid color or multi-colored, rainbow cotton hammocks.
