After having a hip replacement a few years ago, it was impossible for me to sleep comfortably in a bed. Hard mattress, soft, even foam made no difference so out of desperation I tried a hammock. Bingo!!! The support I got for my hip was incredible and I could sleep finally through an entire night!! The string hammocks by Rada were by far the best at that time and I have owned three. Well that’s the problem I have owned three. My last Rada didn’t last nearly as long as my original and as one reviewer has noted the strings do not appear to be the same quality or thickness. In all fairness though I have cats and my cats love my hammocks almost as much as I do. They love fighting in the hammock, chewing on the strings, scratching the strings until they break, getting tangled up in the strings. You get the picture. They are very happy cats. So instead of buying yet another Rada I decided to search for another maker and possibly non string, more cat proof type. Bingo again!!! I purchased the FMS Mayan Hammock. It’s as large as the Rada, even MORE comfortable, and when they say 100% Soft Cotton they do mean soft. I love this new hammock. The size, color, softness, workmanship, and quality of materials are superb in every way. I couldn’t have asked for more and neither could my cats. Instead of having one cat sleeping with me in the new hammock, I now have two!! Every night now and they fight for position!! I guess that means this hammock is also “CAT APPROVED”.
Just a couple of notes: In large hammocks like this, “cocooning” can be avoided by sleeping at a slight angle from fore to aft. It will be much more comfortable. Stands are always a problem when you first search for a hammock. I have had great luck with the Vivere UHS9 Universal Space Saving Steel Hammock Stand, 9-Feet. It works great with the FMS Hammocks and is also available on Amazon.
I haven't tried this as a two person, and never intend to, but this hammock is GREAT! I love the space it gives you to wrap yourself up in a cocoon and whisk away for a few hours while swinging gently in the breeze. It's so much better to have a hammock made from cotton than any other type of material, you don't feel like you are sweating, or suffocating, in it when you are in it.
The only negative I have is that there is an odor of some sort to it. I suspect it is from the dye used to to color it. Once it has been hanging for a while, it goes away, if not, Febreze will do the trick.
I am absolutely in love with this hammock. The material is perfect for cool or hot days. We had one minor flaw in the first hammock that we ordered but I was so in love with it that I didn't care. I still sent an email to the company and the customer service was outstanding! Prompt emails and it was evident that they wanted me to be 100% happy with my purchase! I LOVE this hammock!
Sooo comfortable, the cotton is soft and there is complete support for your back without knots or strings, since this is a one piece woven hammock. The colors are amazing. When I pull out this hammock, it's nap time.
It's lightweight but strong. The iron rings are quality and play well with my carabiner hooks. I take it in when not in use though, so I can't speak to longevity if left in the open sun. The hot Texas summers with scorching sun, temperatures well over 100 degrees and unpredictable heavy rain may cause this harm. So, with care, this is solid gold.
Beautiful hammock. colors were similar to the second picture with a light blue for the cord. It looks high quality and like it will last. The texture, and look of it are exceptional. I got it to replace my nylon hammock as a daily sleeping hammock to see what else is out there. This hammock does seem like an upgrade over my other (more expensive) hammock, and everyone that sees it says how beautiful it is.

We now have 2 of these hammocks and they're great. We've used them through one full, long summer now and they've held up great—much better than all of the other hammocks we've burned through in summers past. They're made of a think material that is still comfortable and not stiff. There have ben no signs of fading. And they're really beachy and attactive, I love the fun and colorful prints they come. I would definitely recommend, they're a really good value for the money.
This is a very well made hammock. It is also very comfortable. The tightly woven soft cotton make this much more comfy than rope hammocks. I also prefer it to the more open weaves of the Mazatlan and Mayan hammocks. The only down side is that the tighter weave blocks much of the breeze; on hot days this is bad, but on cooler days it is good.
I can't help but fall asleep in this thing. Hands down the most comfortable hammock I've ever tried. Super unique, and rich, beautiful colors and patterns. It's really a work of art, and its actually made from recycled material! I've had the old rope style, the nylon camping style, mesh hammocks, etc. and this thing is by FAR the most comfortable. There is no way I'd go back to my old unstable rope style hammock now, and it doesn't sweat your back like nylon hammocks. Unlike the old rope style, its easy to pack up and set up. It packs down to about the size of a large shoebox, so its portable enough to take on car camping trips, and beach getaways, or just chillin the back yard. If I had a way to hang this in my bedroom I'd do it in a heartbeat! The material is like a soft cotton with an 'island' type design that is super unique. It easily holds two people, and I love that its large enough to wrap around you to block a chilly wind or mosquitoes. Just buy it, you won't regret it!
Love this hammock! Soft, beautiful, big enough but not too much extra fabric. Really love that it’s made of recycled t-shirts. When ordering the color is a surprise, no way to choose and I was so hoping to have one come with pink in it. I got the perfect colors! Goes great with my yard furniture, bright and fun but not garish. Gorgeous weaving.
I like the size and the material. I am not sure if it is going to be durable. The last hammock I purchased lasted over 10 years. This one looks much less robust on the hanging ends. I hope the rope holds up.
