| The Brazilian Hammock is cross woven by hand in cotton, with the warp yarns pulled through to produce the support strings. These brilliantly colored and wonderfully comfortable relaxation and sleep vehicles are produced with a canvas like soft supple bed and lovely adornments. These hammocks are extremely comfortable and supportive. They differ from the Mayan and Nicaraguan hammocks in that they are not ventilated within the weave, and may be, therefore, less cooling in the summer heat. By the same token, however, they are splendid for cooler climates and mild weather use. Many people prefer these hammocks for sleeping and overnight use because they are tighter woven, and feel very secure. Our Brazilian Hammocks are produced in vibrant colors, of 100% cotton fabric. Many are ornately fringed and all are suitable for hanging in high attach hammock stands or other methods such as hanging between trees or posts or from interior ceilings and walls in much the same way as one would hang a Mayan style hammock. |
Enjoy our beautiful new spring lines below.Old Mother." That is what denizens of the Amazon call their hammocks: As in our first unremembered memories, mae velha enfolds us in comforting arms, besides protecting us from scorpions, mists, and serpents that meander along the ground. The hammock accompanies us like a bed never could through our whole existence. Born in the jungle by the shore of a river, the newborn sleeps his first sleep in the hammock as his grandfather will sleep his last. Then as is our ancient custom, we bury the dead lying down in their own hammock. We are born, we live, we love, we die in the hammock, and then our friends carry us to the boneyard in mae velha to rest up till Judgement Day.--James J. Bogan
