Rivas L spreader bar hammock

Nicaragua, before its problems with the Sandinistas and their revolution, began making bar hammocks for the USA, as this type of hammock is the most popular in the northern part of this continent. Without realizing it, they produced the best bar hammocks in the world. Why? First of all, because the arms of this hammock are very long, which has the effect of eliminating the balance point (if you are not well-centered in this type of hammock, you tip over). Then, this length reduces the friction on the wooden bar because there is less pressure when the angles are smaller. As a result, the hammock lasts longer. Furthermore, the bedding is made of extremely soft cotton and a loose, stretchy mesh that eventually sags slightly for more comfortable use. Despite its wooden bars, this hammock can be washed at the bottom of a bathtub.

The Nicaraguan bar hammock: a global benchmark

Nicaragua bar hammocks are simply the best in the world. It's no coincidence that they are in high demand in the United States and Canada! There, as here, connoisseurs swear by this model. In contrast, most bar hammocks found in supermarkets or online are often too short, made of thin fabric, and unstable. The result: it only takes one wrong move to end up... on the ground. In fact, you'll see proof of this on social media: videos of falls from Chinese hammocks are all the rage — not for their comfort, but for the laughter they cause !

The Nicaraguan hammock, on the other hand, is woven with thick, tightly twisted rope, creating a slightly "pouch-like" shape once you’re inside. And it’s precisely this flexibility that eliminates the balance point and prevents tipping over. It is for this artisanal excellence that we chose to work with Nicaragua. When you truly love hammocks, this model is an obvious choice. For us, introducing it to you is not an option: it’s a mission.

The making of the hammock with a bar in Nicaragua

A handmade hammock, crafted with passion and patience. This bar hammock is made in the city of Masaya, following a traditional local craftsmanship. Each part has a specific role in the design of the hammock:

- The seamstresses carefully make the fringes, often in small groups and sometimes even outside, in front of their houses, in a fairly friendly atmosphere.

- The weavers, meanwhile, work on traditional looms to create the body of the hammock, with incredible precision and speed.

- Then, everything is gathered in the workshop: fringes, canvas, ropes, wooden bars, and decorative finishes are assembled on-site by the craftsmen, who are called "the assemblers."

This slow and meticulous process guarantees not only the quality of each hammock but also its authenticity. A hammock that respects itself is a hammock that takes the time to be well made.

An ethical hammock that supports local craftsmanship

Unlike industrial hammocks produced under precarious conditions, we have our hammocks made with respect for human and environmental values. We have been working for several years with the same workshop in Nicaragua. By choosing to import these rare hammocks that represent local craftsmanship, we support the women and men who work with their hands. To learn more:Latino hammock or Asian hammock ?
