Guide to Buying a Mayan Hammock

There are a few things you should consider when looking for your first Mayan hammock. The Mayan hammock comes in different sizes, styles, and fabrics and the combinations are endless.  Here is a short guide so you get it right the first time.

The right size:
  

One person hammocks:

If you want a hammock for one, you'll have the most options when it comes time to choose your place to lounge. You may want a huge hammock to sprawl out in, or a cozier version. It's always nice to have room if someone else wants to get in!

Two person hammocks:

You'll be surprised how often more than one person wants in on the relaxing atmosphere of a hammock, so you may want to be prepared!  A hammock specifically built for two people is necessary if you want to pile on an extra person.  A little planning will make you and your lounging partner much more comfortable.

And beyond:

Hammocks that fit more than two people are perfect for family affairs.  Lounge out in the yard and read your kids a good book, but make sure you have enough room with a Mayan hammock built for more people.

The right material:

Comfy Cotton:

Cotton hammocks will cradle you in comfort!   Cotton stretches and molds itself to your body shape, so your hammock will always be a soft and relaxing surface to relax in. Cotton is less hardy than other materials, but proper care will ensure you have a comfortable perch for years to come.

Nest of Nylon: 

Nylon Mayan hammocks feel firm and strong under your back, and are more rigid than cotton. Don't mistake that for discomfort though, nylon is smooth as silk and provides extra support. Nylon hammocks offer more durability and longer lasting color and strength for a long relaxation relationship.

Thick String Cotton:  

These hammocks are the most durable fabric, and will last a long time. Thick gauge cotton is 3-4 times the size of the usual size cord, but it has the same incredible comfort. These heavy duty loungers will hold the whole family, but remain comfy enough for just one lone lounger.
