SPORTBAY is proud to offer Amazonas hammocks and hanging chairs from Brazil. From the carefully chosen recycled cotton to the last hand-tied knot, Amazonas Hammocks are handcrafted in the Brazilian tradition. Many Brazilians sleep in hammocks and as a result the hammocks are as large and comfortable as our beds. Amazonas hammocks hang loosely and deep in the center and you lie diagonally "the Brazilian way". Your back stays straight and you can lie for hours sleeping, relaxing and dreaming in the ultimate comfort. Add a comfortable hanging chair and you may never want to go back inside!

The Amazonas Star Set Candy Hammock is a complete hammock set consisting of Tonga candy coloured hammock complete with bars, plus a wooden hammock stand. The Tonga Candy Hammock by Amazonas is made from Elltex and can be hung outside even when it's raining or when the sun is burning hot. EllTex is a special mix of polyester and cotton that is very weatherproof, hardly fades and stays extremely tearproof after repeatedly getting wet. The top lying surface is snug and soft like pure cotton. The Wooden stand of the Amazonas Star Set Candy hammock is constructed of hand crafted layers of spruce and is highly stable and secure due to the quality glue lamitated spruce used.

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!

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 offer 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 offer matching pillows and hammock covers, ideal for prolonging the life of your hammock if you keep it permanently outside.
