Hanging Egg Chairs Built for Everyday Comfort Indoors and Outdoors

Four designs. Two basket shapes. Three weave constructions. Up to seven colours. And 199 verified reviews sitting at a 4.96 out of 5 average. That is what this hanging egg chairs collection looks like when you strip it back to the numbers. But numbers only tell half the story. What actually matters is how these chairs feel when you sink into them after a long day, and whether they hold up after a full British summer left out on the patio.

Every chair here comes with its own freestanding scorpion-style base, so you will not need ceiling hooks or wall brackets. You get an adjustable hanging chain, a thick removable cushion, and a rust-proof galvanised steel frame straight out of the box. Whether you want an indoor egg chair for a bedroom reading corner or an egg chair outdoor setup on a south-facing terrace, the range covers both without compromise. If you are after the full egg chair collection including standing and freestanding models, the chairs on this page are specifically the hanging, swing-action designs with enclosed baskets.

Designs That We Offer

Round Basket Hanging Chair

This one stands out because it is round, not egg-shaped. The nylon mesh rope weave stretches over a circular frame measuring 112 cm x 105 cm x 70 cm, which gives you enough room to sit cross-legged or tuck your feet up underneath you. Air flows freely through the open mesh on warm afternoons. It comes in light grey and dark grey with colour-matched cushions, and it is the only design in this collection that does not fold. Think of it as the permanent fixture option, ideal for a living room corner or a covered patio where it stays put year-round. Buyers back it up too, with 24 reviews averaging 4.96 out of 5.

Open-Weave Egg-Shaped Chair

The classic shape most people picture when they hear "egg chair swing." Premium woven rope in an open-weave pattern gives it a natural, textured finish that works surprisingly well indoors. The basket measures 97 cm x 120 cm and folds flat, so you can shift it between the garden and a spare room as seasons change. Four colour options here: black, beige, light grey, and dark grey. It is also the highest-rated egg swing chair in the collection at 4.97 out of 5 across 34 reviews. Worth noting: a built-in safety strap clips the basket to the base and stops it swinging unpredictably, which parents tend to appreciate.

Cocoon Nylon Mesh Chair

If you want more enclosure than the egg shape gives you, the cocoon wraps noticeably further around your body. The basket measures 116 cm x 78 cm x 59 cm, deeper than it is wide, so you genuinely feel nested inside it. Nylon mesh rope keeps it light enough to move around and dries quickly if it catches a rain shower. Available in black, grey, and natural. This swinging egg chair has a 28 cm adjustable chain and supports up to 150 kg, matching the capacity of every other model in the range. It folds flat for storage.

Cross-Weave Rattan Cocoon Chair

The rattan version has a noticeably different feel in person. The cross-weave pattern is tighter and denser, giving it more of a traditional garden furniture look compared to the airier mesh models. Built from rattan and powder-coated metal at 103 cm x 100 cm x 195 cm overall, this outdoor egg chair brings a warmth that synthetic materials struggle to replicate. Three colours: black, beige-grey, and natural. It is comfortably the most popular product in the collection, backed by 116 verified reviews at 4.94 out of 5. The basket folds, so this rattan egg chair stores away neatly over winter. And if you use your garden space for dining and entertaining as well, the neutral tones sit easily alongside most patio furniture.

How Do You Choose the Right Hanging Egg Chair for Your Space?

Basket Shape and Enclosure Level

This comes down to how cocooned you want to feel. The round basket is essentially a bowl with an open top. Great for staying connected to what is going on around you, not so great if you want to block everything out. The egg shape curves higher around your back and shoulders, offering a middle ground. Then there are the two cocoon models, which wrap furthest around your body and genuinely block peripheral distractions. If your hanging egg chair with stand is going in a busy living room, the cocoon creates a quiet pocket. For a garden patio, the round or egg shape keeps you part of the scene.

Weave Material and Weather Resistance

Three weave types run across this collection. Nylon mesh rope, used on the round basket and the cocoon mesh model, dries fast, weighs the least, and lets the most air through on hot days. That makes it the natural pick for a garden egg chair that lives outdoors from April through September. The egg-shaped model uses premium woven rope in an open-weave pattern, sitting somewhere between the airiness of mesh and the density of rattan. Cross-weave rattan has the densest, most furnished feel and looks equally at home as an egg chair indoor centrepiece or a seasonal garden seat. All four sit on rust-proof galvanised steel frames, so corrosion is not something you need to worry about regardless of which weave you pick. The rattan model gets an extra layer of powder-coated finish on top.

Foldable or Fixed

Three of the four designs here fold flat once you lift the basket off the chain. Seasonal storage sorted. The round basket model is the exception. It holds its shape permanently, which means it needs a dedicated spot. If you want an egg chair with stand that packs away when the weather turns or when you need the space back, go with any of the three foldable options. If you would rather have a permanent feature piece that never needs dismantling, the round basket is the one.

Colour and Interior Styling

Seven colours run across the collection: black, dark grey, light grey, grey, beige, beige-grey, and natural. Darker frames blend into a room and suit tighter spaces where you do not want the chair to dominate visually. Lighter and natural tones lean bohemian and work particularly well in bedrooms, sunrooms, and conservatories. Every chair arrives with a colour-matched cushion already in the box. If you are pulling together an outdoor scheme that also includes a front door canopy or porch overhang, the black and grey options tend to coordinate with most exterior finishes.

What's Unique About Dream Home Store Hanging Egg Chairs?

The frame engineering is where these chairs separate themselves. The round basket and cocoon mesh models use a 3 mm thick reinforced steel pole inside a galvanised rust-proof coating, and every design shares the same scorpion-style four-legged base that spreads ground contact wider than the three-legged stands you will find elsewhere. On uneven decking, on grass, on a slightly wonky patio, the difference in stability is noticeable. Every egg garden chair ships with a pre-fitted heavy-duty spring hook and an adjustable hanging chain, so adults and older children can both find the right height without any modifications.

Then there are the cushions. The filling is premium fibre that gradually moulds to your body shape. Covers are waterproof, UV-resistant, and breathable, built to handle a full UK summer outdoors without fading or soaking up moisture. The egg-shaped model also includes a safety strap that clips the basket to the stand, stopping any erratic swing and making it a particularly strong choice for households with children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a hanging egg chair indoors all year round? +

Absolutely. Every chair in this collection works indoors just as well as outdoors. The freestanding four-legged base needs no ceiling fixings, wall brackets, or drilling, so you can set it up in a living room, bedroom, conservatory, or covered balcony without touching the walls or ceiling. Cushion covers come off and go in the wash, which keeps things fresh when the chair is used daily inside. The three foldable models weigh under 25 kg assembled and pass through standard doorways without taking the stand apart. Just check your doorframe width against the round basket model before committing to an indoor spot for that one, as it sits slightly wider.

What is the weight capacity of your egg chairs with stand? +

150 kg across every model. The reinforced steel frame and scorpion-style base spread the load across four separate ground contact points, each fitted with a non-slip rubber pad. Two of the models use a 3 mm thick steel pole for extra rigidity. The adjustable hanging chain and heavy-duty spring hook carry the same 150 kg rating, so there is no weak point in the suspension system. Each chair ships fully tested and comes with a 1-year manufacturing warranty that covers the frame, chain, and spring assembly. If anything is not right on arrival, the 30-day money-back guarantee has you covered.

Which basket shape is most comfortable for reading or relaxing? +

Honestly, that depends on you. Some people love the round basket because it is wide open, almost like sitting in a bowl. You can fidget, shift around, tuck a leg under you. Others find the egg-shaped basket better for reading because it curves up behind your shoulders and holds you in a slightly more upright position. And then there are the cocoon shapes. Those two wrap right around you and block out most of what is happening to your left and right. Proper little hideaway. All four designs share the same thick fibre-filled cushion, so the padding itself is identical. What changes is how much of the world you can still see once you are settled in.

Do the foldable egg chairs lose stability compared to fixed models? +

This is a common worry, and the short answer is no. The folding part is the basket only. The stand underneath is exactly the same across all four designs: scorpion-style four-legged steel base, reinforced pole, 150 kg capacity. Once you hang a foldable basket on the chain, you could not tell the difference between it and the fixed round model from a stability standpoint. The baskets click onto the spring hook solidly and only detach when you physically lift them off. We have checked the reviews across all three foldable models and nobody flags wobble or tipping as a problem.

How do I store a garden egg chair over winter? +

Dead simple on three of the four models. Unhook the basket, fold it down, take the cushion off, and stand everything against a garage or shed wall. Collapsed, you are looking at maybe 110 cm x 30 cm, so it slots in behind the lawnmower without much fuss. The cushions though, bring those inside. Stick them in a cupboard or spare room where air can circulate. Fibre filling and months of British damp do not mix well, and nobody wants to pull out a musty cushion in April. The steel stand is galvanised and rust-proofed, so leaving it outside through winter is genuinely fine. Throwing a breathable cover over it keeps things tidier. Quick note: the round basket chair is the one model that does not fold, so you will need a spot where it can live permanently or at least through the off-season.

Are these rattan egg chairs or synthetic woven chairs? +

Bit of both, which we know sounds like a dodge, but it is true. One model, the cross-weave cocoon, is proper rattan on a powder-coated metal frame. You can feel the difference when you touch it. Heavier, denser, that natural garden furniture grain that photographs really well. It comes in black, beige-grey, and natural. The egg-shaped model uses premium woven rope in an open-weave pattern, giving it a wicker-like look with a lighter feel. The remaining two, the round basket and the cocoon mesh, are nylon mesh rope, which dries out fastest and weighs the least. All four handle being outside through summer without issue. The rattan egg chair is the one you will want to store or cover once autumn hits, though. The rope and mesh models are a bit more forgiving if you forget.

Can children safely use a swinging egg chair from this collection? +

With an adult around, yes. We get asked this a lot. The egg-shaped model has a safety strap that hooks the basket to the base frame, so even if a child gets enthusiastic with the swinging, the chair cannot build up too much momentum. Rubber pads on every leg grip the ground across all four models, and 150 kg capacity means the frame is not even close to being tested by a child's weight. Another thing worth mentioning: you can lower the basket by shortening the chain, which makes it much easier for smaller children to get in and out on their own. Under-12s should have someone keeping an eye on them, at least for the first handful of sessions while the novelty of the rocking is still fresh. Check the individual product pages for safety strap details on each model before ordering, as not every design includes one.

What colours are available across the hanging egg chair collection? +

Seven altogether. Black, dark grey, light grey, grey, beige, beige-grey, and natural. The catch is that not all of them are on every model. The open-weave egg shape gives you the most to choose from with four options. The round basket is the most limited at just light grey and dark grey. Each chair comes with a cushion that matches the basket, so what you see on the product page is what lands on your doorstep. If you are coordinating with your existing outdoor garden furniture, black and natural are probably your best starting points. Both tend to blend with timber decking, grey paving slabs, and painted fences without looking out of place.

Do your outdoor egg chairs come with cushions included? +

They do. One thick fibre-filled cushion in every box, no add-ons to buy. The covers are the kind that handle real outdoor life: waterproof so a surprise shower does not ruin your afternoon, UV-resistant so the colour holds through months of direct sun, and breathable enough that they do not trap heat on warmer days. What surprised us about these cushions is how they improve with use. The fibre filling loosens slightly and starts to take on your shape after a week or two, and comfort noticeably goes up. Covers unzip for washing whenever they need it. You genuinely do not need to buy anything else to start using the chair straight out of the box.

How much space does a hanging egg chair need? +

The short answer: roughly 150 cm x 150 cm of open floor space. That gives you the base footprint plus enough room for the gentle swing without bumping into walls or furniture. The widest model is 134 cm across and 200 cm tall. The most compact is 103 cm wide and 195 cm tall. None of them hang from the ceiling, which is a question we get surprisingly often. They all stand on their own four-legged base. Working with a tight balcony or a narrow patio? The foldable cocoon shapes take up the least room. And when you want the space back for something else, fold them up and lean them in a corner.
