Evoking ripe sea grapes, the Maya Artists of the Yucat?n select purple and green for this colorful hammock. They weave it by hand in the same way they have for centuries. Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere. It easily packs for travel to the beach or lake. Extender ropes (measuring 1 meter), hammock hooks (“S” hooks), and step-by-step instructions included for easy installation. NOTE: Because each is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. There may be slight color variations from hammock to hammock. Holds up to 350 lbs.

I’ve used one of the Mayan Hammocks before and they are extremely comfortable. I have an arc hammock stand and was wondering whether these hammocks would fit on my stand. What’s the length of the hammock?
