What's the best rope for a hammock?
Spun Polyester is the best choice. It is a very soft rope, often mistaken for cotton, it is highly resistant to mildew, wear and tear, and direct sun. It is the most comfortable and durable rope offered, also available in dyed colors.
Cotton... A nice natural fiber, but this also makes it much more likely to be affected by mildew and wear and tear. Although used years ago prior to availablity of high quality polyester rope, it has lost popularity in recent years. It will strech more than nylon or polyester.
