VWeave King Hammock – Create the perfect relaxation spot in your backyard!!
Please note there is currently a two week lead time on this item.
When I first found these hammocks in 2012 an instant feeling of what can only be described as utter joy and contentment came over me. I had been travelling through Thailand on my motorbike when I discovered a wooden teak hut with brightly coloured hammocks hanging outside.
I had an inclination that I had found something unique. I parked up the bike and went inside……
As soon as I lay in the hammock I knew I had discovered something VERY special. I was a broke student at the time but the cost didn’t matter, I had to have one of these hammocks.
My hunch turned out to be right – I would later discover that I had stumbled across the most comfortable and technically brilliant hammocks available anywhere in the world.
What makes these hammocks so different to all others is the acrylic yarn that they are made from. Acrylic yarn is a very unique material for hammock making and is much more comfortable and weather resistant than cotton. It also lends itself very well to the die process which gives the deep, bright and beautiful colours.
The VWeave hammock is the result of a chance meeting between a Swiss textile engineer and the Lahu hill tribe in the jungles of Northern Thailand, 30 years ago.
A combination of advanced textile engineering and skilled artisan weavers results in Australia’s Most Comfortable Handmade Hammocks, Guaranteed!

Technical Details
The VWeave design comprises 600 individual strands of yarn, each 4m long, equating to a total of 2.4KM of yarn. It takes a Lahu weaver 14 days to complete 51 turns on each of the 600 strands (each loop makes two crossings) resulting in approximately 90,000 loops per hammock.
The greater the number of loops in a woven fabric is a direct indication of the quality.

Colin O Neil (verified owner) –
“These hammocks are wonderful. The very vivid colours and their strong holding power put all other hammocks to shame. The quality of workmanship is outstanding and once you hear about the stories of the people who make them, you can understand the love and effort that goes into such a work of art. I admit that you do pay more for them however as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Ours is always strung up under our patio and is now a permanent feature. They are extremely comfortable and with the gentle rocking, we have been known to occasionally nod off!
We highly recommend the hammocks from West Coast Hammocks and the great service supplied by Keith and his wife”.
Kind regards,
