May 12th, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed

A Brazilian hammock is a non-spreader bar style hammock that is typically hand-woven from cotton. The bed of the hammock is tightly woven into a thick fabric, making it different from most mesh hammocks. This lovely fabric may be embellished with elaborate fringe on the sides, creating a highly unique look. The solid weave minimizes air flow through the hammock and this makes the Brazilian hammock ideal for cooler climates or cool evenings outdoors.

Why Consider A Brazilian hammock?

Aside from their beauty, Brazilian hammocks are wonderful for families with small children, as the closed weave eliminates the chances of little hands and feet becoming caught in the hammock. As a non-spreader bar type hammock, the brazilian style hammock is a perfect candidate for a hammock bed. In fact many people believe these hammocks make the best hammock beds. The cotton fabric is not easily snagged, enhancing the Brazilian hammock’s durability. Cotton conforms to the body, making these hammocks v-e-r-y comfortable.

You can use a Brazilian hammock indoors or outside. Be aware that this cotton hammock will need protection from the elements if used outdoors. Because cotton absorbs moisture very easily, it is prone to mildew and rot. Consider purchasing a protective storage sleeve (shown below at right in blue) for your lovely outdoor Brazilian hammock, hang it in a sheltered area, or simply bring it indoors in damp weather. This may be just what you need to give your garden, patio or bedroom that tropical look. Check into a Brazilian hammock for your home or backyard today.
