Freestanding hammock Latino Relax L Swim Swing

The size L hammock or single hammock

The size L, with a fabric measuring 140cm wide and 200cm long, is ideal for an adult up to 1.75m tall. Beyond this height and for better comfort diagonally, it is preferable to move up to size XL or, for very tall people, size XXL. Even though our size L hammocks will easily withstand the weight of two adults (our test showed a resistance of 478 kg!), it will lack a bit of space. If you enjoy using a hammock as a duo, prefer our double hammocks or our XXL hammocks. The fabric will be longer but especially wider, ensuring comfort inside the fabric (the support will also need to be larger in this case).

All our hammocks are made from high-quality thread (this is the secret for a hammock not to deform, not to fade, to maintain good durability over time, etc.) and you can wash it in the machine at 40° or even 60° if necessary.

The Latino Relax L hammock stand

An excellent support which, besides being made from naturally rot-resistant wood, larch, has dimensions where the ratio between height and length delivers the right curve for a hammock. If a hammock is too tight, lying down becomes stiff and the position flat diagonally or even sitting becomes impossible. If you compare all the supports available on the Internet, the hanging height is crucial. Too many supports have a height of 110 or 120 cm.

For maintenance, this support already has a layer of varnish. This varnish will degrade after 3 to 4 years and that is when maintenance should begin. Sanding followed by a layer of stain or saturator. With our experience, we end up preferring the saturator. It is very easy to apply and protects well against UV and rain. During winter, do not store this support in a dry place. It needs the external humidity. If you disassemble it for storage, find a place sheltered from rain and UV, which is ideal. If you do not disassemble it and simply leave it outside in place, slightly loosen the nuts (wood swells in winter) and avoid having the feet in contact with damp soil by placing bricks, for example, under each end.

The hammock is good for health

The hammock is not just for rest. It also offers many health benefits. It helps fight insomnia by promoting quick sleep onset thanks to its rocking motion. A Swiss study demonstrated that rocking improves sleep quality, notably by increasing stage 2 duration, essential for deep sleep. The hammock is also recommended to relieve back and neck pain, thanks to its uniform support which eases muscle tension. For those suffering from heavy legs, its lying position (lengthwise) helps improve blood circulation. Finally, it has therapeutic benefits, such as the use of canvas chair hammocks in the Padovan method, for neuro-functional reorganization. When will hammock purchases be reimbursed by social security?
