A natural hammock that respects the planet… and your skin

The natural-colored hammock made of recycled cotton has not undergone any chemical treatment. Without dyeing or bleaching, it is ideal for sensitive skin, children, or simply for those who want a purer, simpler product. And contrary to popular belief, natural-colored cotton ages beautifully over time: the more you wash it, the softer it becomes and it naturally lightens.

An evolving canvas: dye it to your taste !

Are you craving a change? Ecru is the best base for dyeing a hammock. With a simple machine wash (and a little trick), you can transform it according to your desires: marbled effect, intense or pastel colors, while keeping the arms and fringes natural for a nice contrast. To learn more: To dye an unbleached (natural-colored) hammock, follow these steps: 1. **Choose the dye**: Select a fabric dye suitable for the material of your hammock (usually cotton or polyester). Fiber-reactive dyes work well for cotton. 2. **Prepare the hammock**: Wash the hammock to remove any dirt or sizing that might prevent the dye from adhering properly. Do not dry it; dyeing works best on damp fabric. 3. **Set up your workspace**: Work in a well-ventilated area and protect surfaces from stains. 4. **Mix the dye**: Follow the instructions on the dye package to prepare the dye bath. Usually, this involves dissolving the dye powder in hot water. 5. **Dye the hammock**: Submerge the hammock completely in the dye bath. Stir continuously to ensure even coloring. The time will vary depending on the desired intensity. 6. **Rinse and dry**: Rinse the hammock in cold water until the water runs clear. Then wash it with mild detergent and dry it according to the fabric’s care instructions. 7. **Optional**: To fix the color, you can use a dye fixative as recommended by the dye manufacturer. Always wear gloves and old clothes to avoid staining your skin and garments. ?

The maintenance of a hammock

We distinguish between 2 different uses:

For intensive use

Do you like to enjoy your hammock as soon as the nice weather arrives, without worrying too much? If you leave it installed outside day and night, for several months in a row, know that it works too... but the hammock ages faster. The sun, rain, and humidity can eventually weaken the arms or the ropes that sometimes get tangled. And without washing, the fabric can lose some of its softness. This isn’t a problem if you replace it regularly, but it’s good to know !

For careful and durable use

If you take the time to bring your hammock inside when several days of rain are forecast, you clearly increase its lifespan. An occasional light shower won’t harm it, but avoiding long periods of dampness is ideal. At the end of summer, a wash in the machine at 40°C is enough to freshen it up before storing it dry inside the house. By checking the spreader bars and ropes from time to time, you’ll keep your hammock in great shape for many seasons.

How to hang your hammock ?

Several options are available to you:

If you are lucky enough to have two trees, posts, or beams well positioned, then fixing ropes with hooks are a simple, effective, and economical solution. And at Tropical Hamac, a little bonus: you can even choose the color of your ropes for an installation that reflects your style. You will find everything you need in our section hammock mounts.
