What is an egg chair?

The first step in finding the best hanging egg chairs for 2023 is to define exactly just what is an egg chair? Also known as outdoor egg chairs, cocoon chairs, egg swing chairs, hanging chairs, hanging garden chairs and pod chairs, what all our hanging egg chairs have in common is that they are an enclosed cocoon shaped garden chair, made from rattan with comfortable seat cushions and suspended from a frame. A hanging egg chair is the perfect place in which to perch in the garden for relaxing, swinging, reading, or sitting back and enjoying the view.

How comfortable is an egg chair?

So now we’ve looked what an egg chair is, we can start to examine the many benefits offered by these marvelous hanging garden chairs. In our view, the primary characteristic of choosing any chair should be its comfort, and a garden egg chair does not disappoint. Our hanging egg chairs are all designed with optimal comfort in mind. With plush cushions and a gentle swaying motion, sitting in one of these chairs is the ultimate relaxation experience, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the tranquility of your garden.

Egg chair seat cushions

The cushions on our rattan egg chairs are deep-filled, giving you something sumptuous to settle into whilst you are relaxing outdoors. All our seat cushions are comfortable, but search out our designs which come with either armrests or headrests, offering you that little bit more support where you need it.

Made from premium materials, providing both comfort and durability, the cushions and covers are easily removable for cleaning, making them easy to maintain and keep looking their best.

In-store we always find it’s effective to add outdoor scatter cushions to a cocoon chair in order to dress up the look of it. When used to express your personality and for extra interest, adding outdoor scatter cushions can definitely help complete the look you’re going for.

Durability of materials

Our egg chairs are made from high-quality materials, are built to last and withstand the elements. Strong powder-coated metal frame supports plus high quality rattan that is weather and fade resistant come with all our egg chairs. Additionally, Bramblecrest’s season-proof technology means the cushions can be left outside in summer months as they are shower-proof. That said, we suggest covering the cocoon with a suitable cover when not in use to keep it clean and dry so that it is ready for the next time you want to snuggle up in it.

Versatile Seating

Our egg chairs are suitable for all outdoor spaces, from balconies to large gardens, and they are easy to install and move around as needed. They can even be used indoors if the mood takes you.

Consider the size when choosing an outdoor egg chair. We recommend measuring up your intended space so you are armed with the knowledge of what dimensions you can comfortably accommodate.

Inspiring designs

Our chairs come in various colours and designs to complement any outdoor decor. With chic and unique designs, these garden chairs add a stylish touch to your outdoor space, providing an eye-catching focal point that is sure to impress your guests.

Our collection includes egg chairs in a variety of shapes, so you can select your preferred silhouette, Choose from globe, oval, tulip, and, of course, egg-shaped.

There are two main styles of hanging egg chair – tightly woven and open weave, which we’ll look at in more detail below:

Tightly woven hanging egg chairs

A tightly woven egg chair offers privacy from the outside world as it’s difficult to see through. It is the perfect place to hang around in if you want a bit of privacy in your cocoon chair. Both comfortable and supportive, we find these outdoor egg chairs are exceptionally popular with our customers.

We stock Bramblecrest Monterey and Chedworth tightly-woven egg chairs that can accommodate two people, making for a romantic intimate space for a couple to nestle together in. Alternativly a triple-sized Bramblecrest Chedworth offers a social space for family or friends to catch up over drinks in the garden. With the choice of either Dove Grey or Sandstone colours, these neutral tones make it easy to blend with almost any style of garden decor.

Open weave hanging egg chairs

An open and airy hanging egg chair is more exposed, but will allow you to fully connect with and embrace your surroundings. We offer the Bramblecrest Chedworth Sandstone Cocoon in both tulip-shaped single, or oval double size. The egg-shaped Riga Single oval Riga Double and globular London Single Cocoon chairs provide a great place to get some alone-time whilst whiling away time in the garden. Nevertheless, the open weave offers the possibility to socialise with others whenever you want to.

Again, their neutral shades are unlikely to upset your surrounding garden colour scheme.
