We share a secret about Mexican hammocks. After spending a week learning to weave this hammock on the island of Holbox in the state of Quintana Roo with Maria, we realized how long it takes to make this hammock. To finish a Matrimonial (XL) hammock takes about 6 days of work. The minimum wage is around €250. The secret is that making hammocks in Mexico is a hobby, not a profession. People weave out of passion and according to their desire. The hammock you choose may have spent 2 months with someone. It all depends on free time. Some clever Westerners thought they would find a better price by having this hammock copied in India. No luck, they were not aware of this aspect of Mexican tradition. Beware of imitations. Mexican hammocks made in India do not have the original 4-thread mesh and use a thread that is too stretchy.
The advice from Tropical Influences on the Mexican hammock: the bigger it is, the more comfortable it will be and the tighter the mesh. If you are looking for more comfort, if you are taller than 1.75 m, or if you want to use your hammock with others, opt for our XL hammocks and our XXL hammocks. By the way, the usage record belongs to a gentleman who came to exchange his Mexican hammock after 24 years of use!
Originally Mayan, the artisanal hammock from Mexico is a lightweight hammock handwoven with fine threads. Although its structure consists of thin cords, it can support up to 350 kg for our XXL hammocks and 250 kg for the XL and XXL models. This hammock is known for its ability to easily unfold to offer a soft, flexible, and stretchable resting surface.
Mexican mesh hammocks offer several advantages:
Their freshness: Thanks to their airy weaving, air circulates freely through the mesh, making them ideal for hot climates. This type of hammock provides optimal comfort by perfectly adapting to the body's contours thanks to its soft and stretchable mesh.
Their durability: Although they feel light to the touch, they are among the most durable hammocks in the world, notably due to their unique weaving technique.
Their firmness: They provide excellent support for the entire body without leaving marks on the skin, even after long hours of rest.
To wash your Mexican hammock, start by tying the two arms to prevent them from tangling. Then soak the hammock in lukewarm water in a bucket and scrub it with soap to remove impurities. Keep the arms outside the bucket to avoid them tangling. Let it air dry, then use a stick to open it so it dries faster.
