Convinced to buy a brazilian hammock?

There you are, you are convinced of the benefits of a hammock and you have decided to buy one: congratulations! I will give you some advice to choose the right brazilian hammock for you, reviewing the different criteria of choice: the size, the use you want to make, the different hammocks, the quality inspired from Brazil.

The size of the brazilian hammock

It is the main criterion of choice: the more your brazilian hammock will be wide, the more comfortable it will be. In order to have a good position and sleep on the shoulders, you have to lie diagonally on the hammock and not in length. Then pass the low price hammocks whose width is sometimes inadequate and let them try out a double hammock, even for one person. Single brazilian hammocks are suitable for slim bodybuilders or adolescents. Double brazilian hammocks are for the adults!

Certainly the price is higher, but believe in the word, it is an investment that is worth doing.

The origin of the brazilian hammock

You will find it available for purchase of handmade brazilian hammocks imported from South America (Mexico, Colombia or Brazil), both Asia's first-price products and "made in Europe" hammocks.

 1. Handmade hammocks are typical hammocks of the places of origin, with the advantage of authenticity. On the other hand, these models do not necessarily meet European standards and their design is often more essential. Finally, craft disadvantage, it is not possible to guarantee the exact reproduction of two identical hammocks.

 2. The premium price hammers from Asia have as their only advantage the price and quality as a disadvantage that makes them uncomfortable and resistant.

 3. European hammocks are designed to comply with European safety standards and are designed to adapt to design trends. Severe quality tests guarantee your safety.

We therefore strongly recommend this last category of models, which are available from our hammock suppliers: La Siesta for the high range, Amazonas for mid range and of course Fatboy for the design range.

Types of Brazilian hammock

The Brazilian hammock is a hammock in sisal (agave fiber) or cotton, which is not decorative, but contrary to what you think is very comfortable, as it offers good elasticity and allows an ideal weight distribution. It is also breathable and therefore ideal for hot places.
Brazilian and Colombian hammocks are in cotton canvas, less breathable, but give space to every fantasy in color and is still very comfortable. You often prefer instead of those in the net to decorate the garden. The Brazilian hammocks differ from the decorative elements: macramé on the edges of the fabric to the fringes on the sides (verandas) which in Brazil are a symbol of social status.
The bar hammers stand on bars that keep the ropes on both sides of the hammock spaced apart by the premise that these bars tend to make them unstable and less comfortable, while contributing to maintaining a beautiful decorative shape when the hammock is empty. It is important if you do not skimp on the size and install your hammock properly according to our tips.

Design hammocks: Even for design sufferers, there are hailstones such as those of Brazil, which we propose in all its colors and which is our real flagship.

For camping and hiking lovers, it takes a parachute hammock that is light, cumbersome, breathable and durable.

There are also hammocks made in Brazil dedicated to children, as well as hammocks for babies, which allow them to find a swing similar to that known before birth.

The hammock material

In addition to high-strength cotton, there are also cotton hammocks from organic farming and synthetic colorful fabrics such as the brazilian hammock from Hammock Dream, which are weather-resistant, allowing you to leave the hammock outside. Almost all hammocks can be washed in a 30 ° washing machine, however, please refer to the complete description of the single sheet produced to know the maintenance instructions.

Despite these assumptions, we recommend that you place your hammock closed at night to keep it longer.

The quality of the hammock stand

Quality says a lot about price differences between different hammocks made in Brazil. The number of strings on each end gives comfort and strength to the hammock, it has to be between 30 and 50 for a good quality level.


To choose

Brazilian hammocks are present in all shapes, sizes and qualities. In this section we will see some points on which to draw your attention to the choice of hammock.

It is important that you lie diagonally. We recommend a width of at least 140 cm for adult people. If you rely on the price for the hammock choice, pay particular attention to the width.

Brazilian hammocks are usually made of cotton. But sometimes with other materials. In addition, the recycled, ecological and attractive cotton is currently fashionable in price. From the weight of the hammock the thickness of the material is deduced (at the same size).

The hammock contains many decorations (eg fringes), and this obviously affects the price. In the case of a hammock with a stick it is more difficult to lie down transversally (and therefore keep your back straight). These hammocks are also more unstable, but they are common in North America. All our hammocks have attractive prices, especially because we buy them directly from the manufacturers.
We have a wide range available as we are in contact with several suppliers. Brazilian hammocks with excellent, extremely large, luxurious, high-quality, high quality fabric with many hand-made decorations. The characteristic of the Brazilian hammock is the guy. This distributes the weight between the strings, see the photo below.
Not all Brazilian hammocks are equipped with tie rods. This depends on the model and supplier.

To hang

Fix the rope to a pole, shaft or hook so that two ends of the same length are obtained.
Pass the ropes, on 1 side each, through the hook eye, as seen in the first picture.
Make a single knot, as seen in the second photo.
Pull both ends until the eyelet is at the right height.
Ready!

Stand in front of the hammock and grasp with one hand the back end and with the other hand the front one. Lift the rear edge. Sit in the middle of the hammock.

Raise the back and lie down. Put your feet on the hammock and find the right diagonal position.

Resting on the hammock

Resting on the hammock: irresistible relaxation among the colors of South America

From South America and Brazil, the best way to rest by swinging gently!

Even those who live their summer holidays intensely from dawn to dusk can not give up a pleasant time of relaxation. Nothing better than lying on a hammock and letting it gently, maybe near the sea or cool among the trees, to dune by swinging or reading a good book.

Originally from the tropical countries, the hammock was once a long time all that a South American peasant possessed and always brought with him, thanks to its lightness and practicality.
Today, hammocks are hung in so many of our gardens, giving a note of color and originality. There are so many types and materials, I personally find those of Brazil irresistible for the bright colors and the typical crochet work.

Viaggi in Brasile

Of course, they are no less beautiful than those of light and heavy network of Mexico or Brazil, often of pastel color, and on which, let's say, it is a bit more difficult to accommodate since they are not kept open at the end and envelop around the body only when we sit on it. I think the secret is to proceed cautiously without having too much momentum or ... you are likely to overturn!
