Paradise Hammocks are made from a man-made nylon called Parachute Silk, the same material that parachutes are made from. Parachute Silk is a breathing fabric meaning that it will not trap the bodies moisture making it extremely comfortable to lie in.

Parachute silk is strong and very lightweight material able to take up to 160 kilos (350 Pounds) in weight. A double size hammock weighs only 650 gm /1.43lb. Dimensions of a double size hammock are 220 x 270 (mm) in the bag and 3.5 x 2.06 (metres) open

Attention to detail! triple stitching, doubled seams and nylon thread are all examples of our very high manufacturing standards.

Parachute silk is moisture resistant and will not rot. A Paradise Hammock will withstand the destructive forces of sun & rain, much better than traditional rope or cotton hammocks.

Securing lines are made from nautical rope which has great strength and resistance to weathering as well. There are no fine threads to become tangled unlike certain types of hammock. This is an extra and is not included with the hammock in a bag.
