It is important to review those details or take them into consideration when choosing hammock, as they can influence the way you rest and your health, some of these are:

Materials

The material is very important because it not only determines how beautiful it can be seen but also the quality of your rest, as well as the resistance to different climatic conditions that will determine its durability.

Some of the most used fabrics for making hammocks are:

Cotton: It will make you rest cool since it is a breathable fabric and also gives a good appearance to your hammock. It is mostly recommended for use indoors, or outdoors, but not permanently.

Polyester: It is usually mixed with a greater amount of cotton because, by itself, tends to be a fabric that does not provide much freshness because it is not very breathable, but combined with cotton can provide greater strength.

Nylon: This fabric is mostly used for hammocks for travel or adventure, it is a very light fabric, resistant to climatic changes which are why its use is recommended outdoors, even permanently.

Parachute silk: This is the best fabric for your travel or adventure hammock too, since silk is a very fresh, lighter and ultra-resistant fabric, neither more nor less than it is occupied for the manufacture of parachutes. Its use is also recommended outdoors also permanently.

Wicker, wood, basalt, iron, bronze, etc: These other types of materials are used a lot and almost exclusively for hammocks of chair or swing type, mainly for the structure of these and also for the hammocks with base in the ground, precisely for the base.
