A Brief History of The HammockFrom the times of Gilligan's Island and The Flintstones to present day's The Simpsons, hammocks have appeared on television as both a source of relaxation and sometimes one of laziness. The Skipper and Gilligan slept on their hammocks from the Minnow, very often making us laugh with their antics as one or the other of them would have difficulty staying in the hammock, whereas Fred Flintstone in The Flintstones and Homer in The Simpsons both went to their hammocks to relax and/or escape work. Research tells us that the first hammocks were made in pre Columbian Latin America, and that they are still produced there to this day. Columbus brought the first hammocks to Spain from what is the present day Bahamas. Why are hammocks so popular? Well, at first it was due to the safety they provided. Suspended in a hammock from two trees, they had nothing to fear from the wild animals, mud, bugs, or other less desirable conditions in the early New World. It is said that while hammocks arrived in the Yucatan less than two hundred years before the conquest of Spain, they were not part of the classic Maya civilization. There is no set way to make a hammock; different regions have their own preferred materials and way to weave their hammocks. The quality of the hammock greatly depends on the type of weave used and the type of thread used. In El Salvador, hammocks are very much a part of everyday life and culture, and its not uncommon to go into a home and see many hammocks strung on the wall, as they are used for sleeping, sitting, and sleep swings for babies. In America, hammocks have increased in popularity, as people who have enjoyed a good rest in a hammock on vacation want to bring that feeling of relaxation home with them. There are many different kinds - from free standing to the original kinds you can hang on trees. It's important to choose the hammock that is right for you.
