From Pathfinder Wiki
Introduction to Europe:
- Colonial Influence: When European explorers, including Christopher Columbus, arrived in the New World in the late 15th century, they encountered the hammock and quickly adopted it. Sailors and explorers were particularly impressed by its practicality on long sea voyages. It was much easier to store and more comfortable than traditional beds. The hammock became a standard feature on ships, allowing crew members to sleep in confined quarters while maximizing space.
- European Adaptation: By the 16th century, hammocks were introduced to Spain and later spread across Europe. They were initially used by sailors and military personnel, but over time, they also found their way into homes as a comfortable alternative to traditional beds.
