How do you hang a hanging chair?

You can hang a hanging chair in a number of ways, the easiest being with a hanging chair stand. If you are hanging the hanging chair from a tree, ceiling or wall, find what you need here.

How do I choose a hanging chair?

Choose a hanging chair by first working out which ones are suitable for your allocated space, then it's a matter of style and colorway. Simple really.

Are hanging chairs, hammock chairs and egg chairs all the same thing?

Certainly! Whether a hammock and stand set can be left outdoors year-round depends on their material and your local weather conditions. Metal stands are often rust-resistant, but may need extra care in humid or coastal areas. Wooden stands offer natural beauty but require regular maintenance, especially in harsh weather. For the hammock fabric, weather-resistant materials fare better outdoors. However, for longevity, it's advisable to store them indoors during extreme weather conditions.

How much space do I need for a hanging chair?

We tend to say that the space you need to hang a hanging chair needs to be 30cm longer than the length of the spreader bar. This additional 30cm allows for movement and swinging of the chair.

Are hammock chairs good for your back?

Sitting in a hammock chair can help alleviate your symptoms, the position reduces the strain on your back, in turn reducing the pain. A hammock chair's structure contours to your body, gently supporting you, whilst the rocking motion can act similar to a massage.

How do I hang a hanging chair from a tree?

In order to hang a hanging chair from a tree, you will need one of our rope hanging chair fixings.

How far away from the wall should a hanging chair be?

We advise that a hanging chair should be a minimum of 20-30cm away from a wall. This distance allows for the movement of the spreader bar on your hanging chair.

What material is best for a hanging chair?

If you're planning on hanging your hanging chair inside only, we'd recommend a cotton-based hanging chair as these have the highest levels of comfort.

If you're planning on hanging your hanging chair outside at all, we'd recommend an Elltex or polyester-based hanging chair as these have the highest level of weather resistance.
