People have various reasons why they use hammocks as a unique form of bed or couch. They also have their own sets of specific needs and preferences that they look for a certain type of hammock. Hence, this convenient platform for resting and some recreational purposes has come in a number of varieties. Each of these varieties is also available in different styles, colors, canvass patterns, shapes, sizes, and set of features. Some are intended for specific types of users, while some are designed to be versatile enough for a variety of users and applications.
Brazilian hammocks are among the most commonly used varieties in many parts of the world today. These are generally made from cotton fabric, which is a few times more durable than a conventional string or rope. Perhaps, the most important advantage of the Brazilian hammock among other types is its robust structure and easy installation or uninstallation features. The Mayan and Nicaraguan varieties, on the other hand, typically offer better comfort than the previous type. The durability and comfort features of these two types are primarily by the type of material as well as of weaving pattern used for its structure.
Camping or travel hammocks are today's common varieties as well. These two typically come in a light and compact structure to provide the best portability and easy storage features. Many of these are integrated with built-in posts that serve as transportable but sturdy anchor points for the hammock. There are also some models that include special webbing straps or "treehuggers" for easy installation of anchor points on trees. Usually, the platform is made of durable nylon fabric that gives extra comfort to the user.
Adding to the varieties of hammocks is the Venezuelan or jungle type. Made from breathable nylon or polyester with Dacron or any non-stretchable suspension cords, this variety offers optimum security against insect bites or stings, as well as water spills. In the same way, the naval hammock also provides superior quality when it comes to protecting the user from discomfort brought by things in the environment. It also features a highly durable, compact, and lightweight structure that makes it ideal for minimizing the spaces for its installation.
When choosing among the various types of hammocks, it is very important to determine first the key features that meet your specific purpose. You also have to make sure that you are considering a high quality brand that achieved good ratings from people who already used it. This can be done with the help of a research over the internet.
