Do you want a comfortable chair swing for your backyard, but you don’t have a tree to hang it from? This hanging egg chair comes with its own stand, so you don’t need a branch, porch overhang or ceiling. (Also see the Modway Hanging Lounge Egg for different colors.)
What Makes this Egg Swing Chair Different?
Compared to other backyard swings, this unique chair has a supportive back and sides, so you can truly relax in it. It also comes with an extra-large plush cushion, which makes it extra cozy (like a cocoon).
However, the open weave rattan allows for plenty of air flow and light. This makes the swing more comfortable, plus you can enjoy the surrounding outdoor environment more.
The egg chair can support both adults and kids, so don’t be surprised if you need more than one. They make the perfect hangout for reading, meditation, working or relaxing with a cocktail at the end of the day.
Note: In addition, you can use this portable retreat indoors or outside. Plus, its freestanding design makes it easy to move pretty much anywhere. At only 60 lbs, you can carry it from the pool to the patio to the living room. No problem!
The sturdy base gives this seat just enough swing to relax, yet you won’t need a large area to set it up. In other words, you can use it on a small balcony or deck – or even a bedroom or kids room.
How to Hang an Egg Chair:
Although these swinging egg chairs come with their own stands, you can actually hang them from trees too. Just use tree swing straps and carabiners to securely suspend the egg swing from a tree branch.
For example, you could hang the egg chair from a backyard tree during the summertime. Then, use the metal stand indoors or under a covered porch during the winter.
You can get year-round use out of this swing, not to mention, get a bunch of reading done!
In addition, this cozy egg swing comes with a tufted papasan-style cushion.
Essentially, this extra-large seat pillow transforms this egg-shaped swing into a deluxe reading chair that keeps you comfortable for hours.
Plus the curved shape helps you sink right into it. (If you’ve ever reclined back into a Papasan chair, you know what I’m talking about!)
Need a Cushion Only? If you ever need a replacement cushion, you can find them easily online in a variety of different colors. Switching cushions can also be a good way to transition your swing between the backyard and indoors.
Does the Swing have a Cup Holder? (and How to Make One)
Unfortunately, these egg swings don’t come with cup holders for drinks. However, you can easily attach a stroller cup holder to the outer frame of the chair.
These universal cup holders conveniently swivel and adjust to fit the frame securely. Just don’t plan on swinging across the yard, you might spill your drink. =)
By the way, if you have an ottoman, small table or pouf nearby, these provide the perfect spot to rest your feet. They can also double as a table too.
