Mariposa 3 Roses Hammock

A genuine Brazilian hammock

A genuine hammock made in Brazil, this model is used by Brazilians as an everyday bed. We chose a manufacturer that operates in the high-end market. As a result, as an everyday bed, a Brazilian will replace it after about 3 years. We observe among our customers a usage that varies from 5 to 15 years depending on the care each person gives.

Observed lifespan of this hammock

We have been in stores since 1993, which allows us to have a good understanding of the longevity of all our products. We distinguish 2 different types of use.

Intense use: for someone who leaves their hammock outdoors day and night for 5 to 6 months of the year. The cords get tangled! Washing is unknown.

Careful use: for someone who leaves their hammock outdoors but brings it inside when the weather forecast predicts rain for several days. A passing shower is welcome. The hammock is machine washed at 40° at least once a year at the end of the season, then stored inside during the winter. The cords are regularly checked.

A sturdy and ecological hammock fabric

Ultra sturdy and non-deformable, this fabric (360g per m²) is consistent. Many hammocks have fabrics that end up sagging and in which you feel trapped. The thread used is recycled cotton. 70% cotton from the textile industry (clean scraps with firm dyes) and 30% polyester. The polyester filament is there to strengthen the recycled thread. This thread is truly ecological as it earned us the “Sustainable Development Trophy” from our chamber of commerce.

A maximum amount of cotton will be pleasant for contact with the skin. Fabrics with 50% or more polyester as well as all 100% synthetic fabrics should be avoided.

Hammock cords (suspensions) that support 384 kg!

This hammock is made with 24 cords in the suspension arms, each with a resistance of 16 kg. That’s a total of 384 kg! Moreover, technically, the breaking weight must be divided by two to obtain the maximum load. That is why this hammock passed our test with 478 kg without breaking!! We always underestimate the maximum allowed load in our technical data sheets.

Artisanal finishes

Each hammock passes through the hands of various artisans passionate about this work that resonates as a deep cultural imprint. There, the hammock has a thousand years of history and traditions. Assembly of the fabric, technical sheet of the Tropical Influences designs, hemming, arms, mamucaba, pullado, handle, etc… So many steps that require ancestral know-how.

Easy maintenance

We invite you to wash this hammock in a machine at 40°, even at 60° if necessary. Know that a Brazilian washes theirs every 10 to 15 days when it is their bed! Most hammocks are washed cold. It all depends on the thread. At Tropical Influences, choice and quality are paramount.

Fair trade

It is a state of mind above all. We started in 1988 with respect for all our suppliers, whether industrial or artisanal. Long before the term “fair trade” came to light. It is therefore support, presence, loyalty, and fair remuneration that we promote with all our contacts.

Suspended between sky and earth, we wish you a wonderful stay nestled in one of our hammocks!
