CARIBE XL 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 recognized in its region where almost everyone sleeps in a hammock! We observe among our customers a usage lifespan ranging from 5 to 15 years depending on the care given by each person.

Observed lifespan of this hammock.

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

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

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

A sturdy and eco-friendly hammock fabric.

Ultra-robust and non-deformable, this fabric (360 g/m²) is consistent. Many hammocks have fabrics that eventually sag and trap you inside. The thread used is recycled cotton. 70% cotton from the textile industry (clean scraps with stable 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 high cotton content will be pleasant against the skin. Fabrics with 50% or more polyester as well as all 100% synthetic fabrics should be avoided.

Hammock ropes (suspentes) that support over 600 kg!

This hammock is made up of 28 ropes in the arms, each with a resistance of 16 kg. That’s a total of 448 kg! We tested its XXL cousin with a total of 681 kg without breaking!! Moreover, technically, the breaking weight must be divided by two to obtain 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 hold your entire family!

Handcrafted finishes.

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

Easy maintenance.

We invite you to wash this hammock in a machine at 40°C, even at 60°C if necessary. 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 our hammocks!
