The origins of the hammock

The origins of the hammock date back to the culture of the Taíno people, who inhabited the island of Cuba upon the arrival of the Spanish in the early 16th century. The Taínos also lived on other Caribbean islands such as Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Trinidad. Settled in villages in the heart of the forest, they used cotton hammocks. In fact, the word "hammock" comes from the Taíno language.

The hammock: the ideal position for a restful sleep, recommended by Dr. Steven Park

According to an article on the Huffington Post blog, Dr. Steven Park, a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, recommends the ideal sleeping position: lying on your back, with your head slightly elevated by 10 to 30%. If you have ever used a hammock, you know this position, because that is exactly the position it makes you take. Unlike a bed, which allows all kinds of less healthy positions, the hammock encourages you to sleep in an optimal position. Even babies and children love the flexibility and width of Colombian hammocks.
