The XL hammock “Tulum: A handmade Mexican hammock

Our hammocks are of Mayan origin, designed in the south of Mexico, from a socially committed associative project. Each piece is handmade at home.

A traditional craft and source of income

The hammock is an object of comfort, but also a decorative object in its own right. According to Mexican tradition, making a hammock has always been seen as a leisure activity. However, this “lucrative hobby” allows many households to access additional income. This activity struggles to be seen as a profession, even despite the houses transformed into workshops by the looms and the hammocks that we find inside and outside the homes.

The art of hammock weaving

You guessed it, weaving a hammock is an art, and this “makeshift bed” must respect strict criteria, starting with its weight: For a quality individual hammock (size M/L), you need to count on a weight approximately 1 kg. For matrimonial hammocks (XL), their weight must be around 1.3 kg and 1.6 kg at the time of weighing. If this is not the case, then the hammock is good to throw away, due to lack of quality... It may not seem like it, but making an authentic Mexican hammock requires real work of art.

The advantages of nylon for resistance

Mexican hammocks are famous for their quality and durability. One of the reasons for this durability lies in the choice of material. Unlike many cotton hammocks, our hammocks are made from nylon. Nylon is a material that is resistant to weather, moisture and fading from sunlight. It does not rot and remains in excellent condition even after prolonged outdoor exposure. This strength of nylon makes it a superior choice for hammocks intended for outdoor use. After all, it's not for nothing that Mexican hammocks are considered the best in the world.
