XXL Mexican Hammock Yucatan

The Mexican Hammock: A Unique Hammock

Some people are very familiar with the Mexican hammock, and once you've tried it, it's hard to switch. Its bedding is cool (which is not necessarily ideal in our temperate climate but appreciated in the height of summer) and stretchable. Its very tight 4-thread mesh leaves little marks on the skin, especially in this huge size. The models we offer here are all unique pieces, just like our own hammock cushions which you can find on our page: Media Luna Hammock Cushion.

Our very informative instructions, included with each of our hammocks, will explain how to achieve the best comfort in a hammock. First, by the curve to give the hammock during its installation, and then, by the positions to take when lying down.

Choosing the Right Support

You can complement it with a wooden or metal hammock stand for optimal comfort. Position it in the shade or in full sun... the choice is yours! The wooden stand suitable for the Mexican hammock (which measures 3.90m to 4.10m in length) is our Maya Relax XL model. The metal stand suitable for the Mexican hammock is our universal hammock stand.

Questions/Answers

Why are hammocks made in the villages of Yucatán so special?

Hammocks made in the villages of Yucatán are unique because of their artisanal production that respects the traditions of the ancient Mayas. Each hammock is carefully handwoven, sometimes mixing colors for the artisans' pleasure. At Tropical Hammac, we are very attached to the authenticity of ancestral craftsmanship. With 30 years of experience in Mexican hammocks, we are at your disposal to meet all your expectations.

Has the quality of hammocks in Mexico changed over the years?

No, the quality of hammocks made in the villages of Yucatán has remained consistent over the years. The artisans continue to follow the same traditional techniques, which allows maintaining products of beautiful quality, far from Chinese and Indian reproductions. When you are near Cancún, be cautious of sellers offering hammocks intended for tourists. These hammocks, often made with a 2-thread mesh, are small in size and much less durable.

How long does it take to make a hammock in these villages?

Making a hammock can take up to several weeks! The artisans work at their own pace, and a hammock may stay in their home for some time before being finished. This pressure-free approach ensures special attention to every detail.
