The Most Durable Mesh Hammock

The Mexican hammock is one of the hammocks that can stay outdoors permanently the longest. Being woven with fine thread, the wind passes through its bedding and dries it quickly. If your setup is half-shade, half-sun, then you can leave it outside all the time. But if the weather forecast looks bad, don’t overuse this advantage and bring it inside from time to time. For those who don’t take too much care of it, this hammock will last you a good ten years. Consider yourself warned!

A Unique Piece

The Mexican hammock is each time a unique model, so you may notice slight differences from the model in the photo. We group hammocks based on the color of the handles (which will be the same as in the first photo) and the colors used by the artisan in the bedding (these colors may be arranged differently in the model you receive).

What Are the Advantages of the Mexican Hammock?

The mesh hammock conforms to the contours of the body thanks to its stretchable mesh, offering superior comfort compared to canvas hammocks. It is particularly suitable for hot summers and terraces in full sun.

Are There Any Disadvantages to the Mesh Hammock?

Despite its tight mesh, the Mexican hammock can catch clothing buttons. It is therefore less recommended for families with lively children.

What Size Hammock Should You Choose for Maximum Comfort?

For optimal comfort, consider the width of the hammock. The wider the hammock, the more comfort and freedom it will offer you. If you are taller than 1.80 m (5’11”), opt for an XXL size hammock, which will better suit your body shape.

What Is the Importance of the Mexican Hammock in Daily Life?

The Mexican hammock is deeply rooted in daily life in Mexico, particularly in the states of Yucatan and Quintana Roo. It is made by local artisans, often as a traditional pastime but also as an opportunity for additional income.

Do You Need a Stand?
