Installation and manufacturing of our Colombian hammocks
Luxury hammocks, like the XXL "El Rey" hammock, can be used indoors and outdoors. To preserve it for many years to come, we recommend installing it in a sheltered area if possible (as shown in the photos). In this case, always make sure to protect it from the elements and the sun.
This hammock is made of extra-fine thread, a blend of cotton and acrylic. This thread helps retain color when washed and exposed to the sun. The weave is very tight, creating a firm and stable sleeping surface, as well as a thick fabric. To learn more, discover the manufacturing process of the San Jacinto hammock here.
This black and gold hammock is the result of the meticulous work of Colombian artisans. A level of comfort that you will only find in Latin American luxury hammocks.
