Our Lambada Hammocks from Amazonas are single-person high-quality
Brazilian hammocks made in the traditional South American
style. South America is where hammocks first originated.
The most individual among our hammocks. Despite their handy
compactness, these single hammocks are nonetheless large
enough for one person to to stretch out diagonally in the
true Brazilian style. We have 4 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 Lambada 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 Lambada hammocks have a lying surface of 210 x 140cm,
an overall length of 320cm, and can support loads up to
120kg (19 stone).

Each of our Lambada 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.
