Hanging Chairs
How to choose hanging chairs
Location and mount
Spot the hang point first. Indoor egg hammocks need a ceiling joist, while garden metal chairs need a strong beam. Both appear under furniture and chairs here.
Material choice
Material feel splits the range. Cotton pads, nylon slings, acrylic shells, bamboo light, broom textured. Pick by touch preference.
Colour match
Colour should match your space. The axis runs white, green, black, blue, cream, dark, dark olive, light/blue, orange, red.
Support style
Support type decides fit. Sensory swings suit rocking motion, egg chairs suit settled sitting.
Frame weight
Frame weight affects mounting. Iron and metal are heaviest, bamboo lightest to handle.
What's good
- Cushioned cotton egg hammocks give a padded seat for long reads, fitting bedroom or lounge corners.
- Nylon sensory swings bring gentle motion for kids or therapy, and they pack down small when not in use.
- Acrylic or stainless steel shell chairs need only a quick wipe, good where spills happen.
- Bamboo framed chairs stay light, so you can carry them between rooms.
- Metal or iron garden egg chairs use chains for outdoor hang, taking rain better than fabric frames.
Things to watch
- Cotton egg chairs need cushion washing often, and their metal frames are heavy to lift onto a hook alone.
- Sensory nylon swings skip back support, so adults after a proper upright sit will dislike them.
- Acrylic bubble chairs are rigid with no bounce, and clear shells show fingerprints fast.
- Bamboo frames are light but less rugged than iron, so avoid them for rough garden use.
- Chain garden chairs demand a solid beam, and iron parts rust if left in wet weather.
Care & maintenance
Metal and iron
Wipe metal or iron chains dry after rain to slow rust.
Cotton
Cool wash cotton cushions, then line dry.
Acrylic
Dust acrylic shells with a damp soft cloth, skip chemical sprays.
Bamboo
Keep bamboo frames away from damp, mop spills at once.
