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. 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 Amazonas and originates
from from the Creara region in the North East of Brazil
where hammock making has a long tradition. All Barbados hammocks
have a lying surface of 230 x 150cm, an overall length of 340cm, and can support loads up to 160kg (25 stone).

Each of our Barbados hammocks is supplied with
a FREE matching
Hammock Bag, made from the same stylish and
durable material from which the hammock itself is
made. What's more, the hammock bag is extremely-well
manufactured, so it won't fall apart - in fact when
you open your package, the bag alone will tell you
what a high quality product this is!

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.
