Hanging a Mayan Hammock
For woven hammocks without a spreader bar, it's more important to focus on height rather than distance when hanging.
The goal is achieve a smile-shaped curve, allowing you to comfortably lean back for support while reading or savoring a refreshing beverage. To sleep, lie at an angle to achieve a flat back position. Our hammocks offer more fabric for better stretching and personalized comfort.
