- Weight Capacity: 300kg
- Hammock Weight: Approx 1.8kg

Woven from extra-thick cotton cord for added durability, softness and assured comfort and relaxation.
Mexican hammocks are very versatile and can be set up almost anywhere, including trees, posts, walls, or a stand.
Space and setup
For the best hang:
- Allow around 3.5 to 4.2 metres between hanging points
- Fix your hanging points at approximately 1.5 to 1.8 metres high
- The hammock should hang at about knee to hip height when in use
This creates the ideal relaxed curve for comfort and support.
Where you can hang it
You can hang your hammock from:
- Trees or posts
- Walls or beams
- A freestanding hammock stand
If you do not have suitable fixing points, a hammock stand is the easiest solution.
Hanging Accessories
There is no one size fits all setup, so accessories are sold separately to suit your space.
Common options include:
- Rope and hooks for walls or posts
- Tree straps for quick and easy setup
- Hammock stands for a freestanding option
Adjusting your hang
- If your space is longer, use more rope and hang slightly higher
- If your space is shorter, you can tie a knot near the ends to shorten the hammock
- Always aim for a gentle curve rather than a tight pull
Comfort tip
For the most comfortable position, lie slightly diagonally across the hammock. This creates a flatter, more supportive surface.
Crafted in Mexico for Generations
Mexican hammocks have been handwoven for generations, using techniques refined over centuries to create unmatched comfort and quality.
Designed with many suspension cords to distribute weight evenly for greater comfort and support.
Traditional Mexican diamond weave creates a soft, supportive hammock that contours to your body.
Quick and easy to set up between trees, posts, walls, or with a hammock stand.
Woven to spread wide, offering generous space for relaxing solo or sharing.

Craftsmanship & Details
The Mexican Hammock Store is the exclusive NZ stockist and distributor of Cielo Mexican Hammocks, the only hammocks in the world made by a Fair Trade Federation member and certified B Corporation.
Each hammock is 100% handwoven by skilled artisans in Mayan communities throughout the Yucatán, Mexico, using techniques passed down through generations. This craft provides sustainable employment while helping preserve traditional weaving practices and support local communities.
Every purchase helps contribute to growing 'Fundacion Cielo' a registered non-profit organisation working within these communities where there is often economic disparity and lack of employment opportunities to help drive social change, through alleviating poverty, improving health, education and gender equality.
100% Polyester. Made from thick and durable polyester cord to create a more durable, weather-resistant outdoor hammock.
Polyester is a well-regarded material often used in the marine industry, offering greater durability for constant outdoor exposure. It will not rot, is resistant to mildew and is quicker drying than cotton cord.
We use a soft, supportive polyester cord that has a similar feel and comfort level to regular cotton hammocks.
Handwoven like all our hammocks, the Mexican weave provides a soft, supportive feel as it stretches and shapes to your body shape.
Polyester hammocks are available in white or black only.
Each hammock is individually handwoven, with care taken to closely match the colours shown in the images. Due to the handcrafted nature and intricate detailing, slight variations may occur between each piece.
Please note that colours may also appear slightly different depending on your screen or device settings.
Mexican hammocks are designed to last for many years with proper use care.
While polyester hammocks offer greater weather-resistant properties, all hammocks will still benefit from the following care suggestions.
- Store indoors when not in use to prolong life and vibrant colours
- Avoid prolonged exposure to UV, rain & damp conditions
- Hand wash gently with mild detergent if required
- Allow to air dry completely before storing
With simple care, your hammock will remain soft, strong, and comfortable for years to come.
