                 Acrisol in the world of indoor and outdoor furniture - robust, sustainable and innovative 
 The Acrisol fabric is characterized by its exceptional durability, which makes it particularly attractive for use in indoor and outdoor furniture. This furniture has to withstand the effects of the weather, be it rain, sun or snow. Acrisol&#039;s ability to withstand extreme conditions makes it an ideal candidate for garden furniture, patio furniture and other outdoor products. 
 Acrisol is made of 100% acrylic Dralon®, a high-quality man-made fiber made of polyacrylic with a water and dirt-repellent finish. Dralon is made of 100% acrylic, it is spun dry and the fibers are woven. Dralon is water-repellent, breathable and resistant to mold and bacteria. 
 In terms of light fastness, Acrisol achieves 6-7 out of 8 maximum units. 
 The environmental friendliness of Acrisol also plays a decisive role in the design of sustainable outdoor furniture. Compared to conventional materials, the material is recyclable. This environmentally friendly approach is particularly important at a time when we value sustainable products. 
 Acrisol fibers are not only robust, but also light and pleasant to use. Polyacrylic fibers are fluffy, voluminous and have a wool-like character. This makes Acrisol the perfect choice for making garden chairs, tables and other outdoor furniture. The outdoor furniture industry benefits from this combination of durability and comfort that Acrisol offers. 
 Acrisol&#039;s innovative strength is also reflected in its adaptability. It enables the creation of designs that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The combination of robustness, eco-friendliness and design diversity makes Acrisol a rising star in the world of outdoor furniture. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Overall, it can be said that Acrisol is not just a material, but an asset to the world of outdoor furniture. Its durability, environmental friendliness and innovative strength make it a key component in the development of furniture that meets the demands of modern outdoor living. We look forward to further developments and how Acrisol will influence the design of outdoor furniture in the future.

                  Amazonas garden furniture  is loved, cherished and cared for and again and again we get the question: &quot;What can I do so that I have a great and fresh looking product for as long as possible?&quot; Not much needs to be done, we&#039;ve taken care of that but a few tricks for you. 
  How to care for your AMAZONAS wooden frames properly  
 
 
 
 The  FSC TM -certified wood  of AMAZONAS garden furniture is  impregnated in a dip bath  in one production step. This extends the natural product life cycle to approx. 10-15 years. This can be further extended by impregnation (glaze, oil, wax, etc.). These glazes are mainly used to refresh the appearance. 
 
 
 
 Our care tips for your FSC TM -certified garden furniture 
 
  Glaze the spruce parts of the frame regularly  (at least 1x per year) with a wood preservative glaze. (Please ask your local supplier). 
  Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents  for cleaning the frame surfaces. Please clean only with water or detergent additives. 
 The connecting parts of the frames are protected against corrosion for many years by a zinc coating. If, contrary to expectations, corrosion should occur, please be sure to coat with anti-corrosion paint. 
 
 If you are the type &quot;I forget something quickly&quot;, or &quot;furniture care is not my thing&quot;, we recommend you in any case a  Rain Cover  for your garden furniture, so you do your product is treated carefully in the warm garden months. 
   
 What do I do with my garden furniture, frames and cushions in winter? 
 In winter, take the garden furniture out into the dry. Let the  agora upholstery  dry well and shake it out before folding. This way you avoid mildew stains. Store the wooden parts in a cool and dry place. Remove dust and dirt beforehand to prevent discoloration on the surface. Also ensure sufficient air circulation during storage. Wood lives :)

                  Therapeutic hammocks  and  therapeutic swings  can support people in various therapies - for example,  autism spectrum disorders especially in children . 
 Our society is in many areas not yet adapted to the needs of non-neurotypical people, so their everyday life is often difficult. We are even more pleased to be able to offer a small assistance with our hammocks that can help to  make everyday life more relaxed .  Needs of autistic children are versatile and individual.  After a survey in which autistic children were allowed to test our hammocks in their everyday life, we have evaluated the results and are happy that the hammocks offer so many advantages to the kids. 
  50% of kids used the hammock at least 4 times a week, and more than 35% used it more than 10 times.&amp;nbsp;  
 Swingin in a (therapeutic) hammock for more relaxation in everyday life 
 The rocking of the (therapeutic) hammock can have a calming effect on the brain and thus provide relaxation in stressful situations. Possibly even de-escalate these situations.  80% of parents have used the hammock as a support for the kids in such situations.&amp;nbsp;  
 
 &quot;He was able to  calm down faster and felt deeper .&quot; 
 &quot;He  hits his head less  and goes into the hammock more often when there is sensory overload and holds it closed over him.&quot; 
 &quot;It&#039;s always depended on the situation. If we noticed early enough that she was having some stress, we&#039;ve been able to calm her down well with the rocking. At home (just now on the nice days we put the hammock outside) the mouse would put herself in the hammock. There were days when  she was busy for 20 to 30 minutes just lying , swinging and herself. After that, she seemed more balanced.&quot; 
 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  In over 90%, the hammock was used to calm down in stressful situations/play , this was especially the case after physical exertion, after eating and after playing. 
  Similar things have also been seen in babies in general.&amp;nbsp;  
 Therapy swing for easier falling asleep 
  Children with hyper-reactivity often have trouble calming down before bedtime.  Light rocking in the hammock and the feeling of being &quot;held&quot; can improve falling asleep.&amp;nbsp; 
 
  &amp;gt;50% of parents report that their child falls asleep easier since they have a hammock  
 
 Hammock as a place of retreat for children 
 A hammock offers a  quiet retreat when overloaded with stimuli . With a large hammock you can also fold the fabric over you and then really lie in his own little cave so the hammock is also a good place to just be for himself. 
 
 
 &quot;The hammock  serves as a retreat during stress , a place to hide, because in our house it hangs down from the ceiling like a kangaroo pouch.&quot; 
 
 
 &quot;...] he&#039;s really set up the hammock as a retreat, with a pillow and blanket, and he swings part of the time monotonously and obliviously. The best way for him to get rest.&quot; 
 
 
 Hammock swings promotes sense of balance and coordination in children 
 Rocking in the hammock  stimulates the vestibular system  in the ear, which is responsible for sense of balance, coordination and orientation. 
 
 
 &quot;My child completely rejected swinging on a normal (playground) swing before. Since he regularly uses the hammock he has  discovered his love for swinging  and also uses every swing on playgrounds&quot; &quot;My little one has  become an acrobat  because of the hammock chair&quot;. 
 
 
 The hammock as a space for physical contact 
  Social interaction  with others is  often difficult  for children from the autism spectrum. The following statements from parents when testing our hammocks are all the more gratifying: 
 
 
 &quot;The hammock has fully  triggered the boom  with our other two children, so that we had to  introduce fixed hammock times  in part ;o). However, all three also laid in there together, sometimes to crawl, sometimes to cuddle. He could tolerate body contact well in the confines. Overall, the feeling of being wrapped up, like in a cocoon, was very comfortable for him. Thank you so much for letting us test! The hammock was super received here and definitely  a win  :o)&quot; 
 
 
 &quot;Yes, thanks to the hammock my two sons have also  become much closer . They usually sit in it together and talk or tickle each other. Before, I could barely get them to sit next to each other or touch each other.&quot; 
 
 
 Therapeutic hammock to promote creativity in children 
 
 
 &quot;My son has christened his hammock  &quot;boat&quot;  and when he needs his rest and lies in it,  we are not allowed in his room because baby sharks swim around his boat . He didn&#039;t show that kind of creative thinking at all until now.&quot; 
 
 
 &quot;.... great interaction game: taking turns with sister, rocking the doll. She also wanted to swing &quot;wildly&quot; with the hammock rather than lie quietly in it. I could imagine that this wild rocking also has  exactly the stress-reducing effect . But I could also well imagine that the hammock could become interesting as a retreat in some time.&quot;

 Our  handmade wooden furniture  is characterized by the  highest product quality and sustainable production . We only process  FSC TM -certified wood from sustainably managed forests .  Solar modules  are located on the roof of the production building to  generate electricity.  In addition, we  collect rainwater for various production processes  in a storage tank. The durability and hard-wearing nature of the  high-quality indoor and outdoor fabric agora  conserves resources. We use recycled materials, such as recycled PET bottles, as a filling material for the upholstery of our garden furniture. Each production machine is exhausted via a central exhaust system. Chips of the processed wood are sucked in and pneumatically transported to a storage tank. In addition, Air filters absorb fine wood particles, creating a  clean and dust-free working environment . The collected chips are automatically pressed into briquettes and burned in a computer-controlled furnace. The energy generated in the process is used to heat the drying plant for the wood, thus  creating a sustainable energy cycle . We have deliberately chosen the proximity to Poland in order  to keep CO 2  emissions from transport as low as possible .

                  Save. Healthy. Strengthened. - the Amazonas Koala baby hammock is the right choice for your child.  
 Babys are  born with a rounded back . During their nine-month development in the womb, the  curved spine  - medicine speaks of total kyphosis - was the perfect posture.&amp;nbsp; 
  After birth, your baby`s spine slowly stretches . This is a gentle process. This takes a whole year and is only completed when your child can stand and walk on his own.&amp;nbsp; 
 This medical background makes it clear why it is very important to repeatedly allow your baby to lie with a rounded back. 
  Baby hammocks support the natural development of your baby after birth  
 
  Security through limitation.  After the feeling of security in the womb, your child may feel a little lost in the new world and miss the limitation it felt in the womb. AMAZONAS baby hammocks support the curved back and  give the child back the feeling of security  through the soft hugging feeling of the hammock. 
 
 
 Just like in the womb, your baby will feel rocking movements in the hammock. This  can help with adjustment difficulties . In addition, the rocking movements have been proven to promote the newborn`s sense of balance and coordination. 
 
 
 By lying in the baby hammock,  your baby`s abdominal wall is relieved  -  flatulence can be relieved  better and  overstretching of the little body is avoided .

                 In times when there seems to be bad news in the newspapers every day, good news creates space for optimism again. Therefore, we would like to share some moving news from the children&#039;s village &quot;Der kleine Nazareno&quot; supported by AMAZONAS. Despite the Corona pandemic, which has hit the people in the poor areas of Brazil particularly hard, these stories provide reason for optimism. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
   A story like a fairy tale - a family torn apart finds its way back together again    With the support of &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot; , Raniel&#039;s mother has broken free from her drug addiction and is reunited with her family (see picture above). It all looks like a good life is now ahead for the family. Raniel and his brothers are living with their mother again. Ray, Raniel&#039;s older brother has found an apprenticeship as a salesman. The younger brother is given financial support for football training, which may enable him to realise his dream of a football career. The mother can still work part-time as a cleaning lady in the premises of &quot; kleiner Nazareno&quot;. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  Diego (18) has his first day of work at the supermarket after 11 years with the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot;  
 11 years ago, when he was seven years old, Diego was taken in by the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot;.&amp;nbsp; He didn&#039;t live on the street, but in a house with a hole in the ceiling, together with his drug-addicted mother.  Today, Diego, who is now of age, works part-time in a supermarket  where he has been given an apprenticeship. Due to the Corona pandemic, he cannot attend school at the moment. His salary as an apprentice is not enough to finance his livelihood, so he continues to be supported by the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot; and is always welcome there. 
     
  200 apprenticeships for young people thanks to Petrobrás project   Every two years, the oil company Petrobrás selects 80 projects from thousands of project applications, which they then finance for two years. After many failed attempts to support the community of Vicente Pinzón with such a project, the project applications were examined for deficiencies and revised. With success: the new project application of the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot;  came first  out of 68 projects selected by the expert commission from 1,590 applications.   
   
 Within the framework of the project, Little Nazareno places  200 young people  in companies and thus helps them find an apprenticeship. The &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot; also provides theoretical instruction. For this and for many other projects, various street workers and social workers are employed, financed by Petrobrás. 
     
  New sports centre to boost girls&#039; self-confidence  As soon as the pandemic allows, it is planned to build a sports centre for young people from Maranguape and Tabatinga, two nearby towns. For this purpose, the area of the already existing football field has been tripled. The young people are taught sports four times a week, half-day, with a focus on football and running.  Girls from the poor districts of Tabatinga and Maranguape are particularly invited to participate . The main priority is to  strengthen the girls&#039; self-confidence through sport , so that they are better able to cope with the challenges in their families and in the slums. Sport also opens up new perspectives for the girls, in a protected space with plenty of room for development. 
     
  Carlos, Bernardo&#039;s adopted son, has found his family again after 27 years  Probably the most unbelievable story is that of Carlos, a boy whom Bernardo (founder and director of the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot;) adopted 19 years ago. He has found his family again after 27 years. Since Carlos was taken in by Little Nazareno at the age of seven, the search for his family has been unsuccessful. But that was about to change. After years of unsuccessful searching, everything suddenly happened very quickly. An employee distributed posters and flyers with Carlos&#039; picture, then and now, and the names of his family that were known. After two weeks, Carlos&#039; supposed brother came forward and told a heartbreaking story about the death of his mother, who, on her deathbed, was still saying that she regretted never having found her son (Carlos) again. But the rest of the family would look forward to seeing him again. The story is also published in an article, so Bernardo and Carlos also learn that everything is a lie. The shock is great. A second article is published reporting on the fraud. By chance, this article reached Carlos&#039; uncle, who immediately called his sister and just shouted  &quot;We found your son! We found your son!&quot;  For the full detailed story, go here.

                 Probably the most incredible story is that of Carlos, Bernardo&#039;s (founder and director of Kleiner Nazareno e.V.) adopted son. He found his family again after 27 years. Fortunately, the families of all the children and young people who have been taken in by the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot; so far have been located. So far, every child has found his way back home, either through the parents&#039; efforts or through contacts with reporters from newspapers, television and radio. Only for Carlos it was different. &amp;nbsp; 
  Due to domestic violence, Carlos runs away from home at the age of seven  At the  age of seven , Carlos ran away during a violent confrontation between his mother and stepfather. Out of desperation, he got on the first bus he could find and immediately fell asleep from sheer tiredness. What he could not have known was that his bus would not take him to another part of town,  but would take him further and further away, hour by hour, from all the people with whom he had been familiar and whom he loved.  His unwanted journey took him all the way to Fortaleza and hundreds of kilometres away from his home. When he got off the bus, his life was over. His life was completely turned upside down and all because he could not protect his mother from the violent attacks of his stepfather. From one day to the next he was a street child, sleeping on park benches, and at the age of seven he was completely on his own.  From then on, he lived alone on the street . He did not know the name of his home village or could not remember it. This made it almost impossible to find his family.    Carlos finds a new family with the &quot;little Nazareno&quot;   From there, he was taken in by the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot; and  the search for his family began.  His travels with an educator from the Nazareno village were  unsuccessful,  and even a lengthy report on television about his life story and the search for his family did not lead to any concrete clues. This did not change after he was adopted by Bernardo. The years passed. Maria, his daughter was born and the search for his family seemed like a closed chapter in his life.   
   
  Bernardo has not yet given up hope of finding his son&#039;s family  However, after talking to his son, Bernardo realised that the fact that Carlos never found his family would always be a hole in his heart. With that, he had a new mission. He resolved to dedicate the next 10 years of his life to the search for his son&#039;s family, in addition to his many activities around little Nazareno, and  he used all the means at his disposal.  The decisive factor was a reporter who had read the appeal Bernardo had written after the conversation with his son and Antonio Carlos, a co-worker of the &quot;kleiner Nazareno&quot;. He set out with 2,000 flyers showing a photo of Carlos 27 years ago and one from today, as well as the dates that were known: Mother&#039;s first name (Geane) and brother&#039;s first name (Diego).   
   
  Will years of searching finally lead to success?  After years of unsuccessful searching, everything suddenly happened very quickly. Antonio had not even been in Juazeiro do Norte for a day when the decisive call came:  &quot;I&#039;m Clécio and I&#039;ve seen the poster,&quot; he heard a voice on the other side of the line. &quot;My mother&#039;s name is Geane and my brother&#039;s name is Diego.&quot;  Antônio Carlos first insisted on photos, which Clécio promptly sent him, before talking to Clécio at length on the phone. And he told a heartbreaking story: Carlos&#039; mother had died of cancer two years ago. Still on her deathbed, she spoke about Carlos and regretted not having set in motion more efforts to find her son.  He would have already notified the whole family and everyone would be looking forward to seeing them again!   The excitement of finding the family again was great but clouded by the sadness of the mother&#039;s death. And now the reporter comes into play, because without him the family could never have been located. He worked through the night and published an article that had it all. In the pandemic, news that spreads hope and joy. The article received 70,000 likes and 1,350 comments after a few hours.    
  No happy ending after all? - Carlos was the victim of a huge lie  Everything seemed fine until the shocking news arrived:  it&#039;s all a lie!  The motives of the alleged brother are unclear. The shock and grief were naturally great. Now the reporter comes into play for the second time, because he was naturally angry and did not know how to deal with the situation at first. There was a crisis meeting with the entire editorial staff of the newspaper.  Carlos and Bernardo had to send all Clécio&#039;s messages to the newspaper, with the result that everyone realised how they had been taken in by Clécio. Another long article about this appeared in the newspaper.   
  All&#039;s well that ends well - a family reunites after 27 years  It was this second article that by chance fell into the hands of Patricía from Santarèm, a few thousand kilometres away from the Nazareno village. She read the article to her husband Josinaldo. He turned out to be Carlos&#039; uncle and immediately called his sister:  &quot;We found your son! We found your son!&quot;  It took some time for Bernardo and Carlos to hear some of this news too, and then they were naturally more suspicious than the first time. But when the family sent a photo of Carlos it was clear:  they had found his family!  Since then the phone has not stopped ringing, he is not only the prodigal son coming home again, but also the grandchild, the uncle, ... On Sunday 6 December 2020, mother and son are finally in each other&#039;s arms for the first time in 27 years. 
 And to answer Carlo&#039;s question: No, his mother never stopped looking for him. She desperately visited all the homes, went to all the police stations, spoke to all kinds of people on the street, was depressed and her face is also marked by life. Thousands and thousands of people have contributed, through a simple click, to a mother being able to say quite honestly:  &quot;I am the happiest mother in the whole world! My love for my son has won!&quot;

These are burned in a computer-controlled kiln and the  energy generated in the process is used to heat the drying plant . A sustainable energy cycle is created. 
   
  FSC   TM   -  certified wood from sustainable European forest management  
 Krzysztof uses only  FSC TM -certified wood from sustainable forestry  for the production of AMAZONAS wooden furniture and thus contributes an important part to a sustainable environment. Among other things,  no chemical fertilizers and biocides  are used, clear cutting is avoided and large parts of the biotope wood are preserved to maintain habitat for (rare) plants, animals and fungi. 
  More sustainability with durable agora fabric for indoor and outdoor furniture  
 The covers of AMAZONAS outdoor furniture are made of  agora fabric  - one of the highest quality fabrics for indoor and outdoor furniture. These fabrics are  extremely resistant and insensitive  to dirt. They allow water to simply roll off, similar to the  lotus effect . The through-dyed fibers of the agora acrylic fabric achieve a particularly high light and  weather resistance  with the help of the innovative color fixation, whereby the fabric retains its shape and color for a long time.  In general, great care is taken during production to produce efficiently and conserve raw materials so that as little waste as possible is produced and resources are conserved.&amp;nbsp;Recycled materials, such as recycled PET bottles, are used as filling material for the upholstery of&amp;nbsp; AMAZONAS garden furniture . 
   
  Power generation through solar energy  
 Since 2019, Krzysztof has also been focusing on sustainability when it comes to electricity. The solar  panels for generating electricity  are located on the roof of the production hall. This allows the full potential to be exploited. 
  Short delivery routes and very low returns keep co2 emissions at a low level  
 We have deliberately chosen the proximity to Poland in order to keep the  transport routes to Germany as short as possible . This way we keep the co2 emissions low. The  high product quality also means that there are hardly any returns, and thus less environmental impact.  
  Natural resource rainwater instead of water from the tap  
 
 To conserve the precious resource of water, the  rainwater from the roof is collected in a 10,000-liter tank and used for dip impregnation  in the production process, as it is softer than the water from the municipal waterworks. Before this, it is filtered to ensure that it is free of any impurities. Filtered rainwater is also  used in the drying process  for alternately wetting and drying the wood. In addition, a specially constructed pipe carries the rainwater to the flushing cisterns of the toilets. So here you can even go to the toilet sustainably :)

                                            AMAZONAS produces in Poland with FSC(TM) certified wood, solar energy and has even developed a sustainable production cycle system.

                  2007 Seek and you shall find - a reliable partner in Poland  For years we were looking for a suitable supplier for  wooden furniture  and for our  wooden hammock frames . Attempts in Germany, Italy, Scandinavia and also in China failed to meet our requirements. Then we found the company BM in Poland, the first one that really convinced us with quality and reliability. 
  2008 Hanging chairs Globo and Globo Royal are optimized  The hanging chairs  Globo  and  Globo Royal , originally from BM, are further developed together with AMAZONAS to what they are today - our classics! 
   
  2014 FSC TM  - Certification  Together, we are switching to  FSC TM -certified wood : Polish state forests are particularly suitable for this, as they must be managed sustainably by law. 
  2015 Rebuild: Many small sheds become a real factory building  The small manufactory  can no longer meet our needs . So far, the production is divided among different sheds. Despite the greatest commitment, these capacities are no longer sufficient. The old owners and founders step down.  Krzysztof, the son who at that time is still studying wood economy, takes over.  Together with a purchase guarantee and the financing by AMAZONAS a real factory hall is built. A big risk for AMAZONAS and also for Krzystzof - but it  was worth it!  
   
  2016&amp;nbsp;The family business grows - the starting signal for the processing of the AGORA fabric  Kasia, Krzysztof&#039;s sister is setting up her own sewing shop. This is the starting point that we no longer use simple cotton fabrics, but can now work with  AGORA : One of the  highest quality outdoor fabrics you can get in Europe  (Spain) (especially lightfast, durable, insensitive to moisture). 
   
  2017 Production ist becoming more and more automated  More and more precision machines are arriving, including CNC production machines. Adam, the father of Krzysztof takes care of them. Bogdan the brother takes over the production planning and purchasing, so now the  whole family is involved . 
  2018&amp;nbsp;A sustainable production cycle system is created  The central extraction system is coming: All wood dust generated during sawing and planing is  extracted, filtered and pneumatically transported to a large storage tank . This not only ensures healthy and dust-free air for the employees, but also allows this &quot;waste&quot; to be recycled and reused: Because the  dust is pressed, processed into briquettes, and these are reused to fire the wood drying plant. A true closed-loop system!  
   
  2019&amp;nbsp;Production becomes even more sustainable - we use the power of nature  Power generation is now also becoming sustainable: The  roof of the hall is being completely equipped with solar panels . 
  2020&amp;nbsp;Continuous further development&amp;nbsp;  We continue to meet several times a year to be creative and to realize new ideas (even if the Corona has made this very difficult). So we can proudly look at a considerable number of self-developed and patented products - and so it shall continue!

  Hammocks  - A word, or almost a science. The selection is gigantic and tastes are different here. Rod hammock, or classic hammock - which is better? One topic, many opinions. We enlighten you. 
  6 steps which bring you to your perfect hammock  
 Classic hammocks and its advantages  
 
 More stability and therefore (tipping)safer than a rod hammock 
 Fits better to the body than a rod hammock (feeling of hugging) 
 Well suited for  sleeping  (Brazilian  lying technique ) 
 More  suitable for children  than a rod hammock, due to the stability 
  More privacy  and isolation by sinking into the hammock (however, sinking into the hammock can also be avoided by the Brazilian lying technique) 
 A classic hammock can be stowed away better than a rod hammock 
 The  transport is less complicated , since no bars have to be stowed away like with the rod hammock   
 
  Rod hammock and its advantages  
   
 
 
 Rod hammock makes it easier to get in, because the hammock is already opened by the rods 
 
 
 Sinking in is rather small with a rod hammock compared to the classical, Brazilian hammock 
 
 
 Hammock fabric does not cast a shadow on rod hammocks (perfect for sun worshippers) 
 
 
 Rod hammocks are visually more attractive (we have often heard) 
 
 The padded luxury  Fat Hammock bar hammock  offers a special advantage - due to its weight and the fact that it sinks into the padding, it can be described as an (almost) tip-resistant bar hammock. 
 The fabric of AMAZONAS rod hammocks is wider than the spreader bars, so that as much stability as possible can be achieved.&amp;nbsp; 
 
 There is the right hammock for everyone. If you have sufficiently informed yourself about the advantages and disadvantages of each hammock, you will quickly get a feeling for which hammock makes you happy. Because they really make you happy and even  promote health . If you still need help,  click here. &amp;nbsp;

                  Hammocks  - they look beautiful and inviting, and if they could speak they would say: &quot;Go, go, jump in and relax&quot;. Even the sight of a hammock can be relaxing. Lying in a hammock is not only pleasant, but also  promotes your health.  
 1) Lying in a hammock prevents tension 
 With the  right lying technique  a curved back can be prevented. The back is relieved and the  entire body relaxes . 
 2) You fall asleep faster in a hammock than in a bed 
 Lying in a hammock has been proven to  promote better sleep.  Swiss brain researchers found that  the gentle rocking movements in a  (classic) hammock  led to faster falling asleep  than in a simple bed. This is also confirmed by Florian Hölterhoff from Allgäu, who was initially very skeptical about sleeping in a hammock, but now sleeps in a hammock. 
   
 &amp;nbsp; 
 3) Hammocks as part of therapies for the elderly, disabled and kids 
 Through targeted turning and rocking, balance and movement disorders are treated. The gentle cradle movement of the hammock is similar to the womb and has a calming effect. 
  Children who suffer from hyperactivity and lack of concentration often relax and calm down more easily in a hammock . Excess energy is dissipated,  cramps are released  and new ways to control the body are sought. Motor skills can be improved and will no longer block other physical processes in the future.  Relaxed hanging out also promotes receptivity . 
   
  4) Hammocks relax (expectant) mothers 
 In birth houses, hammocks are often used for pregnant women to swing gently and comfortably. And later also  hanging chairs for breastfeeding the baby . 
 In the hanging chair mother and child are perfectly supported and escape curious glances through the stretched fabric. 
   
 &amp;nbsp; 
 5) Special baby hammocks convey feeling like in the womb 
 And also after the pregnancy, special  baby hammocks  promote the health of the baby:  Baby hammocks protect and support the still rounded back and with their soft borders they give the baby a feeling of security . The light rocking  promotes the newborn&#039;s sense of balance and coordination  and has an overall positive effect on behavior. The relaxed position of the baby hammock  relieves the abdominal wall , the baby cannot overstretch and flatulence is released.

                 For many years Brazilians have  traditionally slept almost exclusively in a hammock  and have no bed at all. This way of sleeping is, at least in South America, very common. Thus  tested a million times  and found to be good. There are many reasons why you should definitely try sleeping in a high-quality hammock: 
 You will fall asleep faster! 
 
 Swinging in the hammock l eads to a faster fall asleep , sometimes the sleep is even deeper, since sleep-related brain wave oscillations are strengthened, Swiss brain researchers from the University of Geneva found out 
 
 You will sleep more calmly! 
 
 You can only  turn back and forth in the hammock to a limited extent . When you are lying in bed, pressure points are created at night in various areas due to your weight. You try to relieve these to tension by moving. This is not necessary in a hammock because it adapts to the shape of your body. 
 
 Your back pain can get better! 
 
 Back pain can be alleviated with the  right lying technique . The right hammock adapts to you and your sleeping position. 
 
 You will sweat less and experience a pleasant climate! 
 
 Especially on hot summer nights you will find a place in a hammock that is  well ventilated from all sides . This is how you can regulate your  personal temperature  
 
 You are spared from house dust mites! 
 
 In hammocks  house dust mites have no breeding ground , hammocks are unreachable for mites and other crawling friends
