The Mayan style hammock has a light airy feel that many believe qualifies it to be
considered the most comfortable hammock in the world. It expands effortlessly to support the user in any
position. While it is very strong in its weight handling capacity, in the cotton, which is the most comfortable,
snagging on buttons and belt loops can be a problem. Aesthetically it is simple and unadorned

 The
Brazilian Hammocks we offer are hand loomed of 100% cotton, into a rich, strong bedding that combines
rugged durability with extreme comfort. Brazilian families by the millions use hammocks for sleeping.
Consequently these hammocks are very comfortable, extremely durable, and gorgeous. Because of their all
cotton fabric construction, they are best kept out of the rain--at least if you are planning to use them.

 Finally
a word on the most popular hammock in America, the "rope a dope". It has finally dawned on me that when
a lot of nice folks are looking for a hammock they think this is what a hammock is.
How many times have I in my own innocence become excited by the sight of a
rope hammock swaying invitingly under a couple of trees or in a stand on the deck of some summer resort.
Then the truth hits--five minutes in, one is either sagging, being dumped out, or developing waffle-itis
of the back and limbs. Not to be too cruel here, the best of the rope hammocks are not all that bad. But
compared to a true hammock/hamaca they just don't rate very high. I do not offer them for sale at Seaside
Hammocks because they do not accord with our true mission here, which is to elevate relaxation to a high
art and source of spiritual renewal. Please forgive me.

Nicaraguan style hammock has a cozier and sturdier feel that the Mayan. It is preferred by many for it's
solid comfort, tremendous durability, and good looks. It is longer and springier feeling than the Mayan
hammock and is the interior decorator's hammock of choice.
