The XL Nicaraguan Grand Caribbean Hammock is hand-woven by South American artisans using smooth thick cotton that is twisted into cord and formed into a soft tightly woven bed. The side borders on the XL Grand Caribbean hammock are hand-crocheted giving it an exquisite macrame edging that is the trademark of the hammock makers of Nicaragua. Many of our customers who have traveled abroad have loved the style of Mayan Nicaraguan and Brazilian hammocks because of their high comfort level. These hammocks are often used as beds so feel free to use them to their full potential. Hanging hardware sold separately.
