When river boat pilot Captain Joshua John Ward found the grass-filled mattresses on his boat too hot in the summer he decided to make a cool and comfortable cotton rope hammock to use on his boat. After several uncomfortable designs Cap'n Josh made a hammock using wooden spreaders without knots. This original design has proven to be so comfortable that it's still used in Pawleys Island's popular hammocks over a century later.Pawleys Island continues to use the highest quality materials when making their traditional all-cotton rope spun polyester rope and DuraCord hammocks. Their custom-designed stretcher bars are cut from seasoned Carolina red oak then steamed bent drilled sanded and varnished to impart a comfortable sway to the hammock and to spread the rope evenly for optimum stability.
