What is the difference between Cotton, Polyester, and DuraCord® rope?
Cotton Rope is the traditional material of which rope hammocks are made. Cotton is soft to the touch and is of natural coloring. Cotton rope hammocks are the perfect style for people who can take their hammock out of the elements on a normal basis and store. The cotton rope hammock is loved by many as it is a very comfortable hammock. Polyester Rope is weather resistant and will increase the longevity of your hammock. This bright white rope is a soft spun man-made fiber that is rot and mildew resistant. Polyester hammocks are recommended for tougher weather conditions and are more suited to be left in the elements for an extended period of time. DuraCord® rope provides the soft feel of cotton while maintaining superior outdoor durability and solution-dyed color-fastness. It is a fast drying and stain resistant fiber that prevents microbial and mildew growth.
