Again if you father is like mine he already has all the tools and equipment he needs, so perhaps he is more in need or a bit of relaxation and comfort after a hard day working in the sun.. Beer is always good, but that’ll be drunk by the end of the weekend. If you really want to get him off his feet for an hour or two at the end of the day, then the perfect item is an authentic Mexican Hammock. Hand-woven in Mexico where hard work and relaxing go hand in hand.

Ideally suited to those warm spring and summer days, where dad can kick back and relax his body with a cold beer before he’s back into BBQ duty.

At Mexican Hammocks NZ we have a great range of hammocks suitable for your father this coming Father’s day on September 5th. Nothing bets the relaxation of a Mexican King Size hammock. Large enough for the biggest of dads, holding up to 250kg. So room for the whole family. The Resort Style hammock is also a very popular hammock and makes a very attractive feature on the new deck that dad has just built.

So give you dad the gift of relaxation this Father’s day and he sure to better for it!

Wishing all Father’s the best of days on September 5th.

Among other things in the article they suggest power napping  as a great way of relaxing, and helping you to sleep later on in the evening. “It has a restorative effect on the body and can help us settle down when it is time to turn in,” says Dr Ramlakhan.

We have always suggested hammocks as a great way of relaxing and refreshing oneself, and they are ideal for powernaps and full sleeps.

Those that own and regularly use hammocks will be well aware of this. It is a lovely feeling when you can just rest your book on your chest and gently drift off to sleep. Waking up feeling refreshed and comfortable. A quality Mexican hammock is ideally suited as the hammock provides full body support. The hammock naturally conforms to your body shape meaning you won’t wake up with a sore back or neck like you often seem to do when you fall asleep on a couch or chair.

So instead of having your afternoon nap on the couch or oversleeping on the bed, try an authentic Mexican Hammock, beautifully comfortable and supportive, perfect for the rest you need. Being so versatile they are suitable to hang inside or outside.

For more information on powernaps see Wikipedia here – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_nap

Sleep well!

As usual it was a beautiful Wellington day, all made better with a good team a few Coronas, a bbq and a good fun photo shoot.

You may have seen some of the hammock end product images, but here you can see a few photos from behind the scenes (click on the link).

While many seem to be taking advantage of the large expected influx of travelers by renting out their homes and bedrooms, others will be happy to enjoy the local action without the need to travel abroad.

Perhaps you will be hosting friends and family from NZ or overseas for a game or two. You may be wondering though how you are going to provide sleeping options for these people. Well a cheap and convenient option is a Mexican hammock. Save yourself the cost and effort of buying and lugging in a bed or mattresses into lounges or spare rooms. Simply setup a hammock or hammocks for your guests. Then when they are gone you still have the hammock to relax in throughout summer.

Quick and easy to setup, you can hang these both in or outdoors to accomodate those in need of a bed. Beautifully comfortable and supportive your guests are sure to enjoy a comfort and unique stay.

If it is a cooler night you might also want to help keep them warm with a Mexican blanket. Even available in All Black colours.

Even outside the home, perhaps you are traveling the country for the World Cup and are camping. What a great way to enjoy our beautiful country and sleep in some unique natural locations.

This year we are are ensuring they will arrive in pre-Christmas and have ordered a few more.

We also have a couple of different styles available. The ever popular Russian Pine Arc Wooden Stands, and also a less expensive lighter metal stand.

So keep an eye out for these arriving early spring.  If you would like to be informed when they arrive, please just email or contact us through the website here – Contact Us

I use mine to cover the leather lounge suite which is always a bit chilly to the touch over winter. They are also great for protecting your furniture from spills, wear and tear, and dog or cat hair. Or simply wrap it around you to keep in your body heat and save a bit on the power bill.
