Did you know that hammocks came to be some 1000 years ago? Hammocks have a very interesting ancient heritage. We at ClassyHammocks.com are proud to have a product to offer you with such a rich history.
Most Central American countries, like Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaraqua, El Salvador and Costa Rica, along with South American countries like Brazil and Ecuador have a rich heritage associated with hammocks. It is accepted that the origin of the hammock began some 1000 years ago in Central America by the Mayan Indians.
The earliest hammocks were woven from the bark of the Hamack tree. The Sisal plant (similar to the Aloe Vera plant) replaced the bark at a later point because it was more abundant, and rubbing them against the thigh could soften its fibers. The Mayan Indians designed a web-like hammock which is still in use today and considered to be the most ingenious and comfortable of all hammocks. Check out our Mayan hammocks and see for yourself!
Stay tuned for more history to come.........

ALL of our hammocks are on sale, the Hammock Chairs are great to hang in and read that book you didn't get to read over the summer.

Many people think hammocks are just an accessory for their yard, deck or porch, and some people consider relaxing in a hammock as a reward for such tasks as mowing the lawn, or weeding your garden, but hammocks can offer much more than that. The number of ways you can use a hammock is only limited by your imagination!
You can use your hammock for a bed, for camping and hiking this fall, and you can use it while boating. Did you know that today millions of people use a hammock as their bed? When you lie on a mattress, all your body weight must be collected somewhere. These places that support all of the weight are called "pressure points". Hammocks induce a relaxed state of both mind and body by working from a principle called "weight distribution". Hammocks are beneficial for relaxing the body - and providing you with a peaceful, undisturbed nights sleep.
Check out our Labor Day Sale - we are running it through September 14th in case you're away or just way too busy right now getting the kids together for school. Think RELAXATION, think Hammocks!
