Our Barbados Hammocks for 1-2 people from Amazonas are high-quality
Brazilian hammocks made in the traditional South American
style. South America is where hammocks first originated.
Shared hammock happiness is double happiness. The Barbados
is probably our best-selling hammock range as it combines
a larger size with a good price, making it the ideal place
for relaxed dreaming together or alone. We have 6 colourful hammock
designs to choose from. You will need to decide how you
wish to support your new hammock. The classic place to put
your hammock is between 2 trees, but ideally placed trees
are not always available, in which case, you can use one
tree together with our special Madera support, or use one
of our free-standing hammock supports - ideal for patios.
We also supply wall fixtures for attaching hammocks to walls
or posts, indoors and outside. We also stock matching cushions
and protective covers. Our Barbados hammock range is manufactured
by a company called Amazonas and originates from from the
Creara region in the North East of Brazil where hammock
making has a long tradition - the production of our high-quality
hammocks provides over 100 people with secure jobs, at above-average
wages.

How to lie in a hammock: The most important thing
is to arrange the hammock's suspension loops at head height,
and only some 3m distant from each other, thereby allowing
the hammock to hang down in a deep arc. This then allows
a diagonal lying position, like a real Brazilian ("from
corner to corner"), and not straight. This keeps the back
straight and is the secret of being able to lie comfortably
and relaxed for hours on end in a hammock. As wobbly wooden
cross-pieces are intentionally not used, one lies securely
and without fear of falling out! In Brazil, hammocks are
still used as beds, as they always have been. This is the
reason that they are as wide and comfortable as a bed! Even
if you are only going to use your hammock for relaxation,
you should still try to adopt the Brazilian way of lying:
Contrary to European ideas, hammocks are not hung taut.
Do I need hammock accessories? If you just buy the
hammock itself, you will need to provide a means to support
the hammock yourself. At each end of your hammock you will
find a hard-wearing loop, woven from the gathering of hammock
threads. The simplest do-it-yourself support is made from
a piece of rope, threaded through each end-loop, and then
tied to a tree, post or wall bracket. If you prefer to simplify
things, we stock a full range of easy to fit supports -
from free-standing hammock frames (ideal for the patio),
to tree ropes and wall fixings. We also stock matching pillows
and hammock covers, ideal for prolonging the life of your
hammock if you keep it permanently outside.
