Polyester Thick Cord Hammock

Best for one to two people. The Mexican polyester thick cord hammock offers space and comfort best suited to one, but room to share with a friend or loved one.

The Mexican Hammock Store is the exclusive NZ stockist and distributor of Cielo Mexican Hammocks the only hammock in the world from a Fair Trade Federation Member and B Corporation company.

All our hammocks are 100% handmade by expert artisan hammock weavers in Mayan villages throughout Yucatán, Mexico. Through hammock weaving, sustainable employment opportunities are created, whilst helping to keep alive the local Mayan community traditions.

Each hammock purchase helps contribute to growing 'Fundacion Cielo' a registered non-profit organisation working within these communities where there is often economic disparity and lack of employment opportunities to help drive social change, through alleviating poverty, improving health, education and gender equality.

100% Polyester. Made from thick and durable polyester cord to create a more durable weather resistant outdoor hammock.

Polyester is a well-regarded material often used in the marine industry offering greater durability for constant outdoor exposure. It will not rot, is resistant to mildew and is quicker drying than cotton cord.

Handwoven like all our hammocks the Mexican weave provides a soft supportive feel as it stretches and shapes to your body shape.

Black polyester cord. 

Black colour hammocks, in general, can be more prone to fading. By reducing prolonged exposure to sunlight this can help keep your hammock looking good for longer.
