To decide which hanging hammock chairs are the best, we consider the following factors:
Consider how much space you have available in your home or outdoor area. If you are setting up your hanging hammock chair to allow some swing, you should leave enough space around the chair to sway freely without obstruction. Hammock chairs work by suspending you from ropes. Consider how high your ceiling or other attachment point is. The hanging rope on the hanging hammock chair should be long enough to comfortably sit on the chair with your feet firmly on the floor.
If you really like a product but the hanging rope is too short, you may be able to purchase rope from a hardware store. Similarly, check the length of the rope is not too long or the chair will be too low and difficult to get out of.
When looking for the weight capacity of a hanging hammock chair you may find the advertised descriptions state two different weights. When this happens, you should assume the product can hold the lowest weight for safety purposes. You may also want to contact the manufacturer to clarify. Ideally, you should look for a chair that can hold at least 20-30 lbs more than your current weight. This allows some leeway for weight gain or sharing the chair with a small child or pet. Just because a chair doesn’t break immediately when you exceed the weight limit does not mean that sitting in it is safe!
The hanging hammock chair should be made from strong cotton, which is fray-resistant and won’t unravel or lose softness after plenty of use. Every seller will advertise their product as being made from strong materials. However, to get a genuine idea of how durable a product is, you should read the customer reviews.
Some hammock hanging chairs use a hanging bar to hang the ropes from, turning the tensile force from your weight in the chair into a safer compressive force on the bar. The durability of this bar is extremely important. As mentioned above, you should read customer reviews to get an idea of how durable the product is. We also recommend looking for a product where the hanging bar has been thoroughly tested in terms of how much weight it can safely bear.
Lastly, before purchasing a hanging hammock chair, inspect the mesh if you are able. The mesh should have a uniform pattern. Not only will this look better quality in your home, but it will also ensure that your body’s weight is more evenly distributed. If your weight is not evenly distributed over the rope, it may quickly wear down the spot where the most pressure is.
Some hammock hanging chairs have a built-in footrest, many of which can retract to stay out of the way. The material is still firmly attached to the hanging ropes which maintain support. We love this feature and it makes the chair massively more comfortable and adaptable.
Other chairs might feature different special design additions to make the chair truly pop. Tassels add an excellent look to a hanging hammock chair. They make the chair look less formal and may help your living space seem more relaxed. Do your best to keep the tassels off the floor if you can, since they can get dirty quickly if they drag too much.
You may want to look for a hanging hammock chair that includes the necessary hanging hardware needed to set it up. We do recommend looking at buyer reviews, but it is important to recognize that when a customer complains about a chair falling down, it may be a matter of the ceiling or post it is attached to not being strong enough, and not the chair itself being an issue. Alternatively, you could choose a chair without hardware and go to a hardware store to purchase the materials you need. This may be a more stable option than using the included hardware.
Sometimes, cushions are included with your hanging hammock chair. The included cushion might look great with your chair. However, to help the chair match the decor of your room, you could purchase a cushion that is the same color as your curtains or rug. You may also want to purchase a throw to highlight the chair further. Tartan and faux fur throws look great on hammock chairs.
Lastly, we recommend looking for chairs with material guarantees or warranties, since these are often the mark of a product the seller has trust in and is proud to provide. In the event of a break or faulty model, you’ll also be safe from having to pay extra.
Most of the hanging hammock chairs we have come across are either in neutral colors or feature colorful stripes. If you have a specific color or pattern you would like to see on your hammock chair, we recommend starting your search with these criteria since it will eliminate the most inadequate options according to your tastes at first.
With that said, choosing a neutral-colored hanging hammock chair will allow you to add accessories such as cushions and throws that can match your changing decor. This will make the chair last longer in terms of looking good in your home as other room elements come and go around it.
Hammock chairs can look great in almost any area of your house, inside and outside. If your porch has an unused or boring corner or could use more seating space without making it seem too crammed with chairs, a hanging hammock chair can be your stylish and space-saving savior.
We also recommend installing one in a bedroom or breakfast nook if there is ample space. A hanging hammock chair can give you a quiet and secure spot away from your bed to read, get ready in the morning, and relax when the sun goes down.
If you’re feeling particularly bold, a hanging chair can look incredible in a more rustic-style living room or gathering area, especially in more neutral colors that can blend in with other furniture in the room. If your home aesthetic resembles the classic farmhouse or modern neo-rustic styles that are gaining popularity today, you may want to jump on the trend by staging your hanging hammock chair in a common area in your home.
A hanging hammock chair can cost as little as $20 and as much as $200. While more money does not always mean higher quality, a higher price typically suggests more sturdy materials and a trusted brand.
Hammock stands come in various sizes, but a hammock chair stand is usually around four feet wide and five feet high to give most people ample space to sit in the chair.
We recommend young children should be supervised at all times. Only older responsible children should be left alone when using a hanging hammock chair, as excessive swinging can be dangerous and risk breaking the chair.
Hanging hammock chairs can be made from a wide variety of materials including nylon, felt, and polyester. However, the most common material used to make hanging hammock chairs we have come across is cotton. Cotton is strong and durable. It is also easy to clean in most cases. If you are purchasing a hanging hammock chair for use outdoors, a cotton hammock will survive, but it may fade in the sun. Consider keeping it in the shade, and coating it with a waterproof treatment substance.
