Cotton Hammocks
Cotton hammocks are the preferred choice for many hammock owners. Cotton is soft, elastic, breathable, and durable. Cotton is also a natural product. Cotton hammocks can either be cotton rope or cotton fabric. There are advantages to each.
Cotton Rope
Cotton rope hammocks will be cooler than a cotton fabric hammock or a nylon rope hammock. Cotton rope is strong enough to last for many years. It’s main disadvantage is for the outdoor person that will be very tough on the hammock. People that are mercilous on their equipment will be better off with a nylon rope hammock.
Cotton Fabric
Cotton fabric can come in many different variations of softness and strength. A popular fabric for hammocks is Sunbrella. Sunbrella is manufactured to resist rot, mold, mildew, and is water repellent. Fabric hammocks are more comfortable than any rope hammock, but not as durable or good looking.
Summary
The outdoor cotton rope hammock, with spreaders, is the most popular type for homeowners. If your main concern is comfort, you will be happier with a cotton fabric hammock. If you are considering style and durability, a cotton rope hammock is the ideal choice.
