was created
in a quiet summer resort along the South Carolina low country coast. The
Original tradition of quality craftsmanship that was born has now grown to
become a true symbol of southern relaxation.
As the story goes, it was Joshua Ward, a river boat pilot, who first wove a
knotless hanging bed in his search for a cool night’s rest. His rope design
replaced the hot and uncomfortable grass-filled mattresses that had hung
aboard his boat. That design endures to this day.
