Perfect for one, cozy for two--Amazonas Barbados is the ideal hammock for a relaxing afternoon.

Comfortable in the house, on the balcony, in the garden or at your campsite
From the carefully choosen raw cotton to the hand-tied knots, this hammock is handcrafted in the Brazilian tradition
Cotton-wrapped hammock "eyes" on each end of hammock allows flexibility in choice of hanging system

Brazilian hammocks are as large and comfortable as our beds! Amazonas hammocks hang loosely and deep in the center, designed for you to lie diagonally, "the Brazilian way." Your back stays straight and you can lie for hours -- sleeping, relaxing and dreaming in ultimate comfort. Note: hanging system sold separately--a flexible connection such as a carabiner clip, S hook or shackle should be used between the cotton hammock eye and the attachment point to avoid chafing.

Imported.

Comments about Byer Amazonas Barbados Hammock:

I bought this hammock specifically to use when I "popped the question" to my wife. That was over three years ago and it has turned out to be one of the things that stays in the car because we use it so much. It's extremely comfortable and easy to set up. Both my wife and I can nap together in it, although that doesn't say much since neither of us weigh all that much. I've even used it when it's colder than what I would consider "hammock weather". Just throw in some blankets and you're golden.

Some of the things to think about though...this is not for backpacking. It's bulky (although it has it's own little storage sack), and weighs quite a bit due to the fact that it's 100% cotton. I've never gotten it wet, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be good for it. Also, when you're hanging it up, make sure you string it up high since the cotton fabric stretches quite a lot over time. I usually hang it at eye level (I'm 6' tall) and after a few hours my wife and I can reach over the side and grab our shoes off the ground.

After a few years this thing is still going strong. Some of stitching is getting worn out, but I don't see any problem with it lasting another couple of years.

Comments about Byer Amazonas Barbados Hammock:

I just got back from a deployment in afghanistan, where i was living in a minuscule 7x7 room with utterly no storage space. After about 6 months of sleeping on a mattress so old you could roll it up like a sleeping bag (and this was an inner spring mattress) I sent home for my hammock, and strung it up diagonally across the room. I slept in that hammock for 6 months until we came back stateside, and slept incredibly. it even fixed the back pain the old mattress had given me, within a couple nights.

Excellent, Excellent product. The only reason it gets a one star shot is because, being cotton, you have to be careful about storage or it will mildew. Also, the sun wreaks havoc on the ink. Be prepared for it to fade heavily if you leave it up outside for too long.

Comments about Byer Amazonas Barbados Hammock:

This hammock rocks! I have it set up between 2 trees behind my house and it the best spot in the neighborhood! I love the fabric as it is soft and colorful. The other nice thing is it kinda envelopes you in a cocoon-like state since the edges wrap around your body and you have some privacy while you snooze or read a book. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

Comments about Byer Amazonas Barbados Hammock:

My ex-girlfriend and I used to share this hammock on camping trips and in our backyard. I was skeptical at first, having been used to the old-school white rope hammocks with the wood crossbars, but after a nap in this bad boy, I was hooked. Even with two people, it is immensely comfortable!

Julie took the hammock when we broke up (actually, it was hers anyway), so now I'm getting my own!

Comments about Byer Amazonas Barbados Hammock:

I bought this for my wife for our second anniversary. She's always wanted a hammock and esp. so since we just purchased our first house with the perfect set of hammock trees.

I, for some reason, missed out on the fact that it didn't come with the gear I needed to start using it right away so i had to go to a near by outdoors store to buy some slap straps and carabiners to start using.

My wife and i love relaxing in this hammock for reading and taking long summer naps! Great design, extremely comfortable, easily transportable and easy to store. I highly reccomend keeping it in it's bag when not in use because the cotton is not resistant to anything.
