I'll 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, I realized how long it takes to make this hammock. To finish a Matrimonial (XL) hammock, it takes about 6 days of work. The minimum wage in Mexico is around €250, and the price on our site for this hammock is €75, so there must be a secret? 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 taken 2 months to make by someone. It all depends on their free time. Some clever Westerners thought they could find a better price by having this hammock copied in India. No luck—they were unaware of this aspect of Mexican tradition. Beware of imitations. Mexican hammocks made in India don’t have the original 4-thread mesh nor the right thread.
The Tropical Influences tip on Mexican hammocks: the bigger it is, the more comfortable it will be, and the tighter the mesh. There is only a €20 difference with the XL size. Don’t hesitate to go one size up—you won’t regret it. Especially since this hammock will last you at least a good ten years. The record for usage belongs to a gentleman who came to the store to replace his Mexican hammock that he had for 24 years!
