Maya Artisans of the Yucatan select cool shades of blue and lilac for the design of this inviting hammock. They keep tradition alive by weaving the hammock with the same techniques developed by their Maya ancestors. Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honoured customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.
Please note: The accompanying extension ropes may vary in colour from those shown in the images.
NOTE: Because each is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. There may be slight colour variations from hammock to hammock.
It easily packs for travel to the beach or lake. Extender ropes (measuring 1 meter), hammock hooks ("S" hooks), and step-by-step instructions are included for easy installation.
To wash, hook the loops together and keep out of the basin to avoid hammock from getting tangled.

This hammock has beautiful colors and its finer mesh and cotton material is wonderful next to the skin. Be aware that sunlight causes the colors to fade..

Hammocks are wonderful for almost any occation. For the very old and young, the active and those at rest. I use mine for camping, my mom uses hers for reading, and keeping her grand daughter occupied. Wonderfully made. Thank you.

I love my hammock! It s beautifully made, very sturdy, and incredibly comfortable. It comes with ropes to hang the hammock, but I prefer hammock straps so I use those instead. The loops where you hook the hammock to a rope/strap/etc. are very strong and sturdy. 15/10 would recommend these hammocks :)
