Above: The traditional bed of the Guarayo Indians of Bolivia, each of these these Bolivian Hammocks from L’Aviva Home takes a month to complete, from initial spinning and weaving to final braiding and crocheting. The design is available in a natural and white weave (shown) or a natural and black weave; $485.

Above: Fringed with tassels and scalloped edging (and available in a range of colors and patterns), the Nicaraguan Beach Hammock is framed with 44-inch-wide wooden spreaders; $133 at Masaya Market. 

Above: The Vineyard Haven Hammock is handwoven by artisans in Thailand using 3.2 miles of ultra-soft yarn. The bed measures 6 by 7.5 feet; $179 at Yellow Leaf.

Above: The Cape Cod Style Hammock of fringed cotton with a wood spreader is $49.95 through Amazon.

Above: The blue-and-white striped Maritime Brazil Cotton Hammock comes from the Brazilian state of Ceará. It’s $69.99 at Novica.

Above: From Byers of Maine, the Barbados Single Hammock is made in the traditional Brazilian gathered style. The fabric is a blend of 85-percent recycled cotton and 15-percent polyester for durability. It measures 58 by 89 inches and is available in six colors, including mocha (shown here); $80.99. 

Above: And, don’t forget tools to hang your hammock. If you’re lucky enough to have two perfectly placed sturdy trees, you can use this set of two Hammock Tree Straps; $19.99 at Hayneedle. Byers of Maine offers a solution for those with just a single tree: the Madera Hammock Stand allows you to attach one end of the hammock to a trunk while anchoring the other end with wood stakes; $49.46.
