Hammock and health: the benefits for our health.

The hammock in the service of health.

It helps to fight against insomnia.

Knowing that Adults as well as babies fall asleep very quickly in a hammock., Swiss researchers have attempted to measure The impact of this type of bed on sleep. Understanding how this works at the brain level was the main objective of this study. They selected volunteers aged 22 to 38, without sleep disorders or anxiety. The experiment involved naps, either in a fixed bed or in a rocking bed. Their brain activity was monitored by electroencephalogram. All the rocked subjects fell asleep faster. Indeed, rocking notably increases the duration of stage 2 sleep, a period that represents a large part of the night.

Researchers therefore suggest that a slow rocking motion enhances "synchronous activity" in the brain, which could "promote the onset of sleep, its quality, and its duration." A hope for insomniacs! When will there be a bed with a gentle swing like in a... hamac -> hammock ? ?

To reduce tension and relieve pain.

Treat back and neck pain.

Contrary to popular belief, The hammock is very good for the back.. If you suffer from back pain, which is a common ailment of modern times, it is worth trying. Supported from all sides, one can find relief there. Since 1988, when we started distributing this product, many have shared with us their happiness at finally discovering a "middle ground" where, whether sitting or lying down, they feel comfortable.

Similarly for the neck, the canvas carries it in continuity with the back. In a good position (diagonally), the...The hammock bedding provides you with head support. as well as the armrest with the edges of the fabric that rise slightly and provide support for the elbows. Aware of this fact, at Tropical Influences, We wanted to further enhance comfort by creating a small crescent moon-shaped neck pillow:the crescent-shaped pillow. Do not hesitate to get it; its price is negligible for a cushion that is so complicated to make due to its shape. Note that a square or rectangular cushion does not stay in place under the neck.

I am SUPER satisfied with sleeping in my hammock every night and also taking a few naps.... I am still adjusting: I am still looking for the best system to avoid getting cold, I sleep in different directions or positions, sometimes it’s good, sometimes less so.... I need to set up a little basket system, etc .

But I am very very very happy to sleep like this: I have never dreamed so much!!! And then It made 90% of my herniated disc pain disappear.
I’m passing through the Landes during the February holidays and I really wanted to see your workshop and see you "in person" hehe...
Thank you again and again.

To support autism.

We do not yet know the exact cause of autism; our understanding of this psychological disorder is very limited. What is certain is that children with autism perceive the world differently.

What we observe about the use of hammocks for autistic children:

- The rocking effect-Many autistic children already rock themselves to help calm down. A hammock can help the child perform this type of movement in a calmer and more soothing way.

- The cocoon effect can help autistic children feel safe. It is well known that a little pressure helps children with autism feel protected and comfortable.

- Association: after a certain time, the child will come to associate the hammock with a haven of peace. They will know that when they rush there, they will no longer be bombarded with sensory information.

So, will hammocks soon be reimbursed by social security?!

At the service of our babies.

Medically speaking, it has only just been understood in the West that newborns, in particular, prefer a hammock to a flat bed. In fact, more and more women are catching on and opting for the "hammock baby carrier" or "hammock wrap" type.

In Brazil, babies, including premature ones in hospital incubators, have been using it for a long time. They gain weight more quickly than if they were lying flat on a mattress. That shows how comfortable they feel !

Most recent experience dated June 5, 2018. A client contacted us and asked many questions. Her problem is that her 13-month-old daughter is very restless and never sleeps more than 2 hours at a time. I did not guarantee success but suggested she try. The first day was not convincing; her daughter panicked a little and seemed not to accept this way of sleeping. After a few more exchanges and some additional advice, I asked her not to give up. Here is her last message by email dated May 5, 2018:

"Well, listen, I persevered. I put her doll to sleep in it, I explained it to her, I put her back in so she could play, and then last night, once she was asleep, I put her in it and she slept for 7 hours straight, which hasn't happened since she was 2 months old and she is 13 months old today. So it's just great. Hopefully it will continue like this."

The hammock in the service of our well-being.

There are many benefits of the hammock for everyone's well-being.. We have so many customer comments along these lines. This week, a customer from the store came back to us saying, "Your hammock is amazing, but why did I wait so long before stopping by your shop? I pass by your place every day and have been thinking about it for years!" And you, the hammock has existed for a thousand years, how much longer do you want to wait?!

A state of well-being and absolute relaxation.

With a hanging hammock, it’s that floating sensation between sky and earth, supported from all sides, that provides this immense feeling of relaxation. It’s really super comfortable, and that’s why it has lasted for 10 centuries. Can you name some objects that existed 1,000 years ago and that we still widely use today? Not easy to find...!!

To fall asleep, relax, rock yourself, sway, relax, take a nap or sleep through the night, for lounging around, outdoors or indoors, it's urgent—get one!

Guaranteed relaxation.

It is well known for the relaxation it provides. Some companies in Brazil offer hammocks embedded with stones whose action is magnetic! But it is not necessary to practice this sport at that level! At the end of the day, a quarter of an hour curled up in this cocoon under your terrace will be enough to make you forget all the stress of the day !

For friendliness.

It was this aspect that first attracted me. In 1986, in the isolated village of La Tixcla in the Colima department of Mexico, with a few friends, all we had to do was surf, eat, and spend time together chatting in hammocks.

This item is wonderful for socializing. That is why I always advise my clients to install it as close to the house as possible, where everyone can gather. The bigger the hammock, the more people can join in !

So, will hammocks soon be reimbursed by social security?!
