Selecting A Mayan Hammock

If you have the opportunity to handpick a Mayan Hammock, there are some things to pay attention to when making your selection. The end strings, where you attach the Mayan hammock to the hanging hooks, should be tightly bound and feel very hard. The harder the better, as this is the end that must bear the weight of the sleeper. Your Mayan hammock should have a tight weave and there should not be an overabundance of knotting. Any knots that are there should be trimmed and without excess string hanging from them. A loose weave should be avoided, as these hammocks are made quickly and without as much care.
