I’ve noticed lately as we get closer to summer the number of ’cheap’ hammocks turning up for sale on various daily deals sites and other places.
Great timing for it, yet you are generally getting what you pay for even with the so called ‘discount’ price. These generally are the mass produced, poor quality and generally unwanted products that importers are trying to flog off. Generally they are also at no discount from what you can find elsewhere if you look around.
It is fine for purpose in principle. If you want a cheap product, buy a cheap product. But if you want something of quality, that will last and provide superior quality and craftsmanship then you do have to pay a bit more for this, but it does pay of in the long run. Think of buying a quality hammock such as our Mexican hand-made hammocks as an investment in yourself in your relaxation. They are so comfortable and well made that you will be wanting to use it all the time. Unlike the $20 ones around, that will feel harsh, have very large open weaves, and generally just not support your body well.
Each one of our Mexican hammocks are individually hand-woven with thousands of metres of material – soft cotton cord, of silky smooth nylon. This and the special diamond weave pattern is what makes these hammocks know as the ‘worlds most comfortable hammocks.’ We are sure you will not be disappointed with the comfort and support these hammock provide. Not to mention the beautiful design and colours created by our expert weavers.
Along with our quality Mexican hammocks we have also sourced other quality Mexican products, including Mexican blankets, Ponchos and Baja hoodies plus hammock accessories including hammock stands. These are all available to view and purchase online through our website – www.hammocksonline.co.nz with free shipping New Zealand wide.
So forget about those cheap discounted nasty hammocks that offer the illusion of comfort and swing into something that’ll cradle and support you like no other hammock around. An Authentic Mexican Hand-woven hammock from Mexican Hammocks NZ.
With the arrival of our new Metal hammock stands, we have been testing it out with our various types of hammocks. It is a very versatile stand, fitting our entire hammock range.
Adjustable for larger and smaller size hammocks, through an incremental hook system, making this stand an ideal option for hanging your hammock this summer.
We recently tested it with our Resort Style hammock, which both fits and looks great. As per the pictures and video below. Displayed with a multi-colour cotton Resort style hammock.
At Mexican hammocks we have always spoken of the benefits of using and sleeping in a hammock and just recently a Swiss study has backed this up.
A recent study conducted compared the differences in a normal fixed bed vs sleeping in a simulated gently rocking hammock bed. The study measured the time taken to fall asleep plus the amount of time taken to achieve deep sleep.
Results of the study showed on average that when sleeping in the hammock, sleep was achieved one minute faster than in the fixed bed. It also showed a deeper stage of sleep was achieved on average three minutes faster.
“We observed a faster transition to sleep in each and every participant in the swinging condition,” says Sophie Schwartz, a neuroscientist at the Sleep and Cognition Neuroimaging Lab at the University of Geneva in Switzerland and the study’s lead author.
“Not only does rocking make us fall asleep more quickly, but it also makes people sleep more deeply throughout the nap,” she explains.
Feedback from our own customers whom have purchased our Mexican Hammocks have shown similar benefits and even the alleviation of sleep related problems in some cases. Here is some such feedback we have received;
“..for the first time in nearly 10 years we have her sleeping for 8 hours in it. Relief to all of us.”
” My daughter was having a lot of sleeping problems (really bad insomnia and lots of achy-ness from her bed). Now that she’s got her hammock up in her bedroom (and sleeps in it every night), she falls right to sleep, sleeps like a log, and wakes up before the alarm goes off – raring to go for the day. (She used to drag out of bed totally exhausted.) She says the whole experience is totally amazing, like sleeping in a soft web, the softest bed ever. Needless to say, we parents are thrilled.”
“The first day when I went in it at 14.00 to try I felt asleep and woke up at 16.00. A friend of mine on the picture tried the hammock, but came out after 10 minutes, because he did not want to fall aslee
So next time you want a quicker deep sleep whether it is a nap or for the whole night consider the benefits hammocks offer.
