Brazilian Hammocks
A beautiful blend of culture and tradition, a Brazilian hammock is a colorful and durable way to spend hours in cozy comfort. Brazilians take the comfort and security of their hammocks very seriously because many sleep in them instead of using a traditional bed. Consider the elegant workmanship and extreme comfort of this type of hammock when you decide to enjoy one of these in your own home.
Workmanship
A Brazilian hammock is cross woven tightly in natural cotton by skillful hands that produce a particularly strong, resilient surface suitable for the entire family. Known for their elegant beauty, they are vibrantly colored and generally adorned with decorative fringes. The wide variety of colors and patterns reflect the cultural roots and tradition of the these people, where hammocks are a common sight, hanging happily in almost any location from living rooms to verandas.
Comfort
The thick cotton surface of this type of hammock is perfectly suited to add warmth and comfort during overnight use. Because of the closed-weave fabric, they lend added support and suppleness. This tight surface eliminates ventilation within the weave; so while they might feel less cooling in hot weather, they are perfectly suited for cool evenings and milder climates.
Traditional Use
Reflecting the culture and tradition of this South American country, these are elegant yet practical and are a perfect choice for sleeping and overnight use. Due to their tighter weave, they are comfortably soft to the touch and extra supportive, lending an added sense of cozy security. They are suitable for hanging between posts or trees, or from walls and ceilings in the style of a Mayan hammock. You might choose the versatility of location offered by a stand.
Before you purchase one of these hammocks you'll want to ask the following questions:
1. Is it for indoor use as furniture/bed, outside lounging, or both?
2. If outside, is it for a specific stationary position i.e. between trees, between the house and the fence, poolside in a stand, etc?
3. Is it for camping, traveling, sailing or some other outdoor activity?
4. Are you more concerned with "the look" or "the feel" of the Brazilian hammock?
5. Who will have access to it, kids, neighbors, friends?
6. Do you want a high or low maintenance product concerning the weather and general care?
7. How much do you want to spend?
8. How many people do you visualize using it at one time?
9. What is the weight capacity requirement?
Once you've determined the answers to the above questions and know what you're looking for, the sooner you can enjoy your new form of relaxation. Whether you choose a Brazilian hammock for its beautiful, lively colors or for the warmth and security it lends, they are a perfect place to spend an afternoon with a favorite book or an entire night of sweet dreaming.
