It bears repeating. Sensationally comfortable and durable classic rope hammocks: our exclusive cord makes it all possible! Fact is, the best hammock cord is a braided soft-spun polyester cord, which is the only cord that gives you both incredible softness and long- lasting durability. For over a decade, we have been braiding this cord exclusively for our Bougainville hammocks, and as a result they have become the gold standard for comfort.
