The Most Comfortable Hammock On Earth

Every day thousands of people continue to sit, read, unwind, sway, nap and make love in these vivid hand made hammocks crafted by the Mayan people in Southern Mexico. Hanging a Mayan hand woven hammock is easy if you have two trees or two walls about 12 to 15 feet apart. Alternatively, you can get a portable hammock stand that allows you to carry your hammock wherever you want it.

The written history of Mayan hand made hammocks comes from the early Spanish explorers who ran into hammocks wherever they went. No one is sure who first invented the hammock or how it was transported, but by the time Cortes reached modern Mexico, hammocks were plentiful. In the Mayan Civilization hammocks were part of everyday life.
