What is the correct way to lay down in a Hammock?
This is the ideal way to lay down in a hammock. It could be any style of Hammock: Solid Materials, like our Ecuadorean Hammocks or Mexican Hammocks. Laying down diagonally will give you a better stability as you will be spreading your weight throughout the hammock, allowing it to shape in a naturally way to your back. This way will also keep the hammock open, preventing it to cocoon you.
When people come to the shop: their first reaction when trying a hammock is: to jump in, (like the image on top that says NO): Up and Down, this makes the hammock look like a banana; we then show them what is the ideal way to lay down in a Hammock (like the image which say: YES) and people is always pleasently surprised to see how comfortable this becomes.
So now you know: next time you see a hammock: Jump on it and lay down in a diagonally way: Just like the Mayans in Mexico still sleep on their hammocks.
Parachute nylon camping hammocks
New in store at Hammock Heaven and hand made in Indonesia are our range of parachute nylon hammocks.
These hammocks are double size but still very lightweight (about 600 grams) and extremely strong, rated to hold up to 160 kgs. We have these in a range of great two tone colours to cater for all tastes. Not only great for camping these are hammocks that work anywhere, the light material used to make them means they are very fast drying and nice and cool. The ends of these hammocks feature quality ropes and a high quality metal “S” hook is included at each end.
A great feature of these hammocks is the ease with which they can be packed up, they come in a matching carry bag/stuff sack that stays permanently attached to the hammock so it can’t get lost or mixed up with the other camping gear!
Outdoor Hammocks
Most hammocks are going to be installed outside (although putting up a hammock inside and watching TV from it is a pretty cool way to hang out inside you house) and in our range of hand- made Mexican hammocks you have the choice of cotton hammocks or nylon hammocks in all sizes.
Nylon hammocks are sometimes referred to as “Outdoor Hammocks” because nylon is a more weather resistant material than cotton. That said, our cotton hammocks are all handmade and do last well outside, and if you install your hammock in such a way that it is easy to put it up and take it down, then bringing it in and protecting it from bad weather will greatly ad to it’s lifespan no matter what it is made from.
When clients come into our store to lay down and try the over twenty sizes and styles of hammock we have available and ask about “outdoor hammocks” i always encourage them to lay down in a cotton hammock, then in a nylon hammock to feel the difference and then choose the hammock they find the most comfortable. Comfort really should be the first concern when choosing your hammock.
For information on our range of outdoor hammocks and the difference between nylon and cotton or any of our single hammocks, double hammocks, king hammocks, jumbo hammocks, deluxe hammocks, hammock chairs or Mexican deck chairs call us in the shop.
