Hanging egg chairs make a relaxed and eye-catching addition to gardens, patios and conservatories. This collection features rattan-effect swing chairs with an enclosing egg shape that cocoons you as you sit, paired with a supporting stand and soft cushions.
A woven synthetic rattan finish is designed for outdoor use, wrapped around a steel frame that hangs from a freestanding base. A generous cushion adds comfort for lounging, reading or gently swinging in the fresh air.
As a single statement seat, an egg chair creates an inviting spot to relax. Position yours in a sheltered corner, beside a border or under a canopy to make the most of its curved, suspended design.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.
Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.
The synthetic PE rattan and powder-coated frame are made for outdoor use and shrug off sun and rain far better than natural rattan. Even so, the cushions are best brought inside or stored dry when not in use, as constant damp shortens their life. Covering the chair or moving it under shelter over winter keeps it looking its best for years.
Most single hanging egg chairs support around one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty kilograms, comfortably taking one adult, while larger double or nest styles carry more for two people or sharing with children. Always check the specific model's maximum load and ensure the stand is fully assembled and on level ground before use to keep swinging safe and stable.
These hanging egg chairs are supplied with a matching freestanding frame, so you do not need to fix anything to a ceiling or beam. The stand spreads the load safely and lets you position the chair anywhere on a firm, level surface such as a patio or decking. This makes them far easier to set up than ceiling-suspended designs.
Yes, with their freestanding stand these chairs work equally well in a conservatory, sunroom or bedroom, provided you have enough floor space for the frame and room to swing gently. Indoors the cushions stay clean and dry, avoiding weather wear. Just ensure the flooring can take the concentrated weight of the stand's feet and that there is clearance around it.
Bring the cushions indoors or into a storage box when the chair is not in use, and never pack them away damp. If they get wet, let them air dry fully before storing. An occasional brush and wipe keeps them fresh, and positioning the chair out of the harshest midday sun slows fading of the fabric over the season.
