CARIBE L Abysses Hammock

A true Brazilian hammock.

A genuine hammock made in Brazil in the state of Ceará, this model is used there as an everyday bed. We chose a manufacturer that operates in the high-end market and is unanimously appreciated in its region where almost everyone sleeps in a hammock! We observe among our customers a usage span ranging from 5 to 15 years depending on the care given by each person.

Observed lifespan of this hammock.

We have been in stores since 1993, which allows us to have a good understanding of the durability 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 a year without maintenance.

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°C at least once a year at the end of the season, then stored indoors during winter. The suspension ropes are regularly checked.

A sturdy and eco-friendly hammock fabric.

Ultra-robust and non-deformable, this fabric (360 g/m²) is consistent. The thread used is recycled cotton: 70% cotton from the textile industry (clean scraps with solid dyes) and 30% polyester. The polyester filament is there to strengthen the recycled thread. This thread is truly eco-friendly, as it earned us the "Sustainable Development Trophy" from our chamber of commerce.

A high cotton content is pleasant for skin contact. Fabrics with 50% or more polyester as well as all 100% synthetic fabrics should be avoided. Many hammock imitations have fabrics that eventually sag and deform, trapping you inside.

Hammock ropes (suspension cords) that support 384 kg!

This hammock is made with 24-strand ropes, 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 get the maximum load. We always underestimate the maximum allowed load in our technical sheets. With a Tropical Influences hammock, have no doubt about its capacity to support your entire family!

Artisanal finishes.

Each hammock passes through the hands of various artisans passionate about this craft, which resonates as a deep cultural imprint. There, the hammock has a thousand years of history and traditions. Assembly of the fabric, technical drawing sheets from Tropical Influences, hemming, ropes, handles, cords, mamucaba, etc. — so many steps that require ancestral know-how.

Easy maintenance.

We invite you to machine wash this hammock at 40°C, even at 60°C if needed. Know that a Brazilian washes theirs every 10 to 15 days when it’s 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 above all a state of mind. We started in 1988 with respect for all our suppliers, whether industrial or artisanal. Long before the term “fair trade” came into the spotlight. So it is 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 authentic Latin American hammocks!
