In the 15th Century, Christopher Columbus, in the narrative
of his first voyage, noted: ``A great many Indians in canoes
came to the ship to-day for the purpose of bartering their
cotton, and hamacas, or nets, in which they sleep".
This was the first known reference in Europe to the South
American "hammock", and hammocks have since become popular
the world over, owing to their simplicity, style, practicality
and shear comfort. Our Hammocks are handmade in South America
in traditional styles, using high quality materials. These
are luxurious hammocks made from 100% cotton are authentic,
long-lasting, comfortable and easy to care for.

Hammock Accessories (Amazonas)
You will need to decide how you wish to support your new
hammock. The classic place to put your hammock is between
2 trees, but ideally placed trees are not always available,
in which case, you can use one tree together with our special
Madera support, or use one of our free-standing hammock
supports - ideal for patios. We also supply wall fixtures
for attaching hammocks to walls or posts, indoors and outside.
We also stock matching cushions and protective covers.more

How to lie in a hammock: The most important thing is to arrange the hammock's
suspension loops at head height, and only some 3m distant from each other, thereby
allowing the hammock to hang down in a deep arc. This then allows a diagonal lying
position, like a real Brazilian ("from corner to corner"), and not straight. This
keeps the back straight and is the secret of being able to lie comfortably and
relaxed for hours on end in a hammock. As wobbly wooden cross-pieces are intentionally
not used, one lies securely and without fear of falling out! In Brazil, hammocks
are still used as beds, as they always have been. This is the reason that they
are as wide and comfortable as a bed! Even if you are only going to use your hammock
for relaxation, you should still try to adopt the Brazilian way of lying: Contrary
to European ideas, hammocks are not hung taut.
Do I need hammock accessories? If you just buy the hammock itself, you
will need to provide a means to support the hammock yourself. At each end of your
hammock you will find a hard-wearing loop, woven from the gathering of hammock
threads. The simplest do-it-yourself support is made from a piece of rope, threaded
through each end-loop, and then tied to a tree, post or wall bracket. If you prefer
to simplify things, we stock a full range of easy to fit supports - from free-standing
hammock frames (ideal for the patio), to tree ropes and wall fixings. We also
stock matching pillows and hammock covers, ideal for prolonging the life of your
hammock if you keep it permanently outside.
