In the Yucatan of Mexico, Mayan hammocks have been used as an important piece of furniture indoors or outdoors, for resting and relaxation, just as they are today. Likewise you can enjoy them in and around your home, while adding a dash of interior decor and style.

These are perfect for indoors for maximizing space and adding style, or outdoors to enjoy in the comfort of the seasons and sun.
Using centuries old methods, all our hammocks are handmade by Mayan women in the Yucatan of Mexico. These authentic Mayan made, Mexican hammocks are made of 100% cotton, with the end strings or loops made of nylon for support. Cotton hammocks are the more comfortable hammocks, with the colors more pleasing to the eye. The Mayan women work on hammocks to support their family and earn an income. In this way, the women can take care of their young children and work at the same time. When you get a Mayan made hammock, you are contributing directly to family income, supporting the self-sufficiency of the women and the development of the whole community.
