The 23 Best Hanging Chairs of 2024

Bulexyard Swing Egg Chair

$100 At Amazon

This versatile egg chair, which comes with a chain and polyester cushions, can be hung either indoors or outside. The frame is made from aluminum, but wrapped in weatherproof polyethylene resin wicker to help it stand up to the elements. It’s versatile, allowing you to hang it from the ceiling (you’ll need to drill a hole, and then hang it with the hooks provided), or use the chain to hang the chair from a tree, a pole, or a stand. Stand or poles would need to be purchased separately.

Plus, we love that it’s designed so you can fold it down, making it quite compact and easy to pack in your car for camping trips. At just over 20 pounds, it’s easy enough to carry when folded, too. This is a one-seater, with a weight capacity of 265 pounds. Along with the easy assembly process, and compact folded size, this chair is quite comfortable to sit in. Since it’s made with durable materials, it can outlast outside elements—and the wear-and-tear of use by kids.

Highwild Hammock Chair Swing

$48 At Amazon $216 At Home Depot View On Highwildoutdoors.com

This budget-friendly hanging chair marries two wonderful attributes: It’s lightweight, at just under seven pounds, yet has a high weight capacity and can accommodate up to 500 pounds. It’s made from a mix of canvas fabric and polyester cotton ropes, with a simple, streamlined appearance. The ropes attach up to a spreader bar, which looks a lot like a hanger, and functions to add stability and help keep the ropes in place for easy sitting. 

Since this is styled like a hammock, it’s easy to move around and folds up easily. However, we love that it includes accessories to enhance your comfort. Along with the chair itself, you'll get cushions, a carabiner, and a vacuum storage bag. If this chair has a weakness, it might be those cushions, which can feel a bit scratchy. Fortunately, those are easily replaced or covered with other fabric if you prefer something softer.

While the chair can be hung from a branch, beam, or hammock stand, note that you’ll need to purchase the hardware separately. (Want the real deal? Here are some of the best hammocks for lounging outdoors.)

AllModern Bombay Porch Swing

$537 At Wayfair $950 At allmodern.com $880 At havenly.com

Looking to avoid the stress and time it takes to install a hanging chair? Consider one that comes with a stand for simple setup. This AllModern Bombay porch swing is available in a variety of colors, for both the stand and the cushion. Unlike more hammock-style hanging chairs, this one is easy to get into, and sit up from. 

And once you’re seated in the chair, it’s incredibly comfortable, making it inviting to lounge for hours on a screened-in porch or deck. This chair also fits right in with indoor spaces. The curved base is made from wicker and rattan, and the cushions, which come with it, are made with machine-washable covers. This is a durable option, that’s designed to do well outdoors, since it’s made with water- and UV-resistant materials. Expect the assembly process to be straightforward and relatively speedy.

Segmart Hammock Chair

$33 At Walmart

Here’s another hammock-style hanging chair, with several color options. Compared to the Highwild hammock, it’s similarly lightweight, but has a lower weight capacity of 330 pounds. It’s made with cotton, including the ropes and the fabric of the seat, and comes with two pillows, a bag to carry the chair in for easy transport, and a metal support bar. The pillows are on the flatter side, so you may want to opt to use your own throw pillows instead, or in addition. 

You can hang this chair indoors or outside, or if you’d prefer, purchase a separate stand to hang it from. Assembling the chair is easy, and the overall construction is quite durable. Since the chair is generously sized, you can opt to lie down, as well as sitting in it, for even more comfort.

Surpcos Round Hammock Chair Swing

$64 At Amazon

Delight tweens and teens with this sweet boho-style hanging chair featuring macrame flourishes and string lights. With a weight capacity of up to 550 pounds, it can easily seat one or two people—perfect for your child and their BFF! The chair itself is lightweight, weighing in at 10.5 pounds. The chair comes with a hanging kit for ceiling installation, which should accommodate both concrete or wooden ceilings, but be warned that installation requires a drill, and may be a bit complex and require a visit to the hardware store to augment the materials included with the chair. 

We love that this hanging chair makes a statement, much like a small accent chair. It comes with two strings of battery-powered LED lights, one with stars, and the other with orbs, so you can create your very own celestial experience. These lights mean that, in addition to being a place to sit, the chair provides soft illumination to the space it’s in. The chair itself is made with a cotton, which is applied in a mesh pattern over the sturdy steel tubing. While it’s a joy to sit in even without pillows, consider adding them—or a fuzzy faux fur blanket—to really max out this chair’s coziness.

LimboImports Crochet Beaded Hammock Chair

$180 At Etsy

Available in off-white or black, this hanging chair is designed to provide peak relaxation, whether you opt to place it inside or outside. It's handcrafted with cotton canvas by artisans located in El Salvador, featuring ncrocheted fringe with beads for a soft, romantic look. It comes with two covers to match the color of the hammock, but the pillows themselves will need to be purchased separately. (Love this look? Here are some backyard hammock ideas to incorporate in your outdoor space.) 

The overall look of this chair is modern and beautiful, which we love. It’s also well-made and durable. This lightweight chair will support up to 300 pounds. This chair hangs from a hook, and takes advantage of a spreader bar to make sure weight is distributed. You can hang from a stand, tree, post, or the ceiling. Separate hardware will be required to install from a ceiling or post.

Marina Outdoor Hanging Chair with Rope

View On Arhaus.com

Choose from a veritable rainbow of cushion colors with this hanging chair option from Arhaus. This hanging chair is perfect for the outdoors: It’s made with an all-weather rope and a rust- and waterproof aluminum frame that’s thoughtfully built to ensure longevity and sturdiness. Plus, the cushions are made with fade-resistant and mold- and mildew-resistant performance fabric, which surrounds antimicrobial foam. No small drizzle will affect the beauty of this outdoor seating option. 

The chair will support up to 200 pounds. That’s a lower weight limit than most of the chairs on this list, so be sure that it’ll accommodate the people who will be seated on it. It's also worth noting that while this chair comes with the rope shown in photos, the hardware to assemble and install it is not provided.

NICESOUL Indoor Outdoor Patio Wicker Hanging Chair

$119 At Amazon

This sturdy wicker-frame option is ideal for both inside and outside, with a comfortable single cushion made from polyester. The chair itself is attached to a stand, which is so convenient. It means you don’t have to do any complicated installation to ensure that you’ve found a beam that’s strong enough to support the seat with a person in it. The initial assembly of this chair—building the stand and attaching the seat to it—is very easy, thanks to clear-cut directions. Plus, having the seat attach to a stand means you can easily move the chair from one spot to another. At a bit over 50 pounds, that requires a bit of effort, but is doable. 

The chair is made from weather-resistant materials, and designed for durability. It offers a higher weight capacity and can support up to 350 pounds. Once you’re in the chair, you’ll find it quite comfortable; it's cozy enough for a long chat with friends, reading a book, or even taking a nap.

CB2 Pod Hanging Chair

$779 At CB2

Sit inside this CB2 chair, and you’ll feel cocooned. Intended for use outdoors, this chair is made with resin handwoven onto the aluminum frame by artisans in Indonesia. The chair comes with a chain and hook, but note that you’ll have to purchase installation hardware separately, and that both the cushion and cover are sold separately. 

This is a pricier option, and we wish some of those above-mentioned items came with it, but we love the handcrafting as well as the chair’s sturdy, durable design, which can stand up to the outdoors. Installation is easy, and the chair offers peak comfort—it’s roomy enough to sit in cross-legged if you wish—accompanied by a beautiful appearance.

Vinyl and Steel Hanging Bubble Chair

View On Modishstore.com

This bubble chair featuring eye-catching gold tones bridges the gap between retro and modern styles. It's the perfect pick for someone seeking a hanging chair with vintage flair, but it'll be a standout addition to plenty of decor aesthetics. With a price that tops $1,000, this chair is a splurge, but one that can be a focal point and conversation pace—as well as a place to sit.

The bubble itself is made from acrylic, while the chair’s stand and the circumference of the orb are made with chrome. This is decidedly an indoor chair, which is really the only potential drawback (though we don't mind this detail!). While the look of the chair is sleek and modern, you’ll find it comfortable to sit in thanks to thick, plush cushions on the seat and back.

Brisa Rattan Outdoor Hanging Lounge Chair

$704 At CB2

Here’s an elegant chair for your outdoor space. Made with resin wicker over an aluminum frame, it comes with two cushions made with UV-resistant Sunbrella performance fabric. These cushions are reversible. They’re also easy to clean: Just close the zippers, and machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle. You can also spot clean the fabric. In general, the chair is durable and sturdy enough to hold up to the weather outside. That said, when the weather is unpleasant, it’s best to cover the chair or bring it indoors. 

While this stylish chair looks more suitable for outdoors, it can also be used inside. Note that while it comes with a metal chain and hook, you’ll need to purchase your own mounting hardware. Once the chair is installed, you’ll find it pleasant to sit in.

Serena & Lily Hanging Chair

View On Serena And Lily

Add some charm to your space with the addition of this hanging chair, made with hand-bended rattan, from Serena and Lily. Available in two colors, it lends a boho or beachy feel to your space, and can hold up to 300 pounds using the rope that’s included along with the chair. Note you’ll need to purchase mounting hardware separately. 

Unlike other options on this list, this chair is strictly intended for use indoors, and should be placed in an area where it won’t receive a lot of sun exposure, which can cause the rattan to look weathered and even crack. Additionally, it comes as-is, without any cushions or pillows. We suggest adding at least one for both comfort and style. A cushion designed for the chair is available for purchase separately, making it easy to find the perfect size. To prevent cracks, the manufacturer suggests giving the chair some monthly TLC by rubbing a damp cotton cloth over it. 

Celyne 2 Person Indoor Outdoor Hammock Swing Egg Chair with Stand

$385 At Wayfair

Cozy up in this two-person hanging chair. Made with a steel, rattan, and rope, this is an incredibly sturdy and durable option. While the manufacturer says it can be used either indoors or outdoors, we think given its appearance, it’s best suited for outdoor usage. It comes with thick seat cushions and head pillows (one for each person) that have ties to attach to the chair frame. 

Plan to spend an hour—or even more—on the installation process, and you’ll likely need the help of a friend. That said, it’s not a complicated process; just lengthy. And helpfully, you’ll find everything you need to complete installation included with the chair itself. Once you have this chair assembled and set in your desired spot, you’ll be able to sit—and swivel or rock—in comfort with a companion. (If you love to be in motion outside, explore this list of the best outdoor rocking chairs.)

Kya Porch Swing

$316 At Wayfair

Swing away in this teardrop-shaped rattan hanging chair, which comes with a cushion (available in two colors) made from weather-resistant materials. While this can be used indoors or outdoors, we think it looks best suited for outdoor spaces. Bonus: Placing it outside will give you room to freely swing. 

This hanging chair will hold up to 300 pounds. The chair is roomy; the seat measures just over 32 inches across, so even taller people will find it comfortable. Conveniently, this chair comes with two chains—one long, and one short—so that you can opt to hang the chair from a ceiling or porch roof, or from a stand. The assembly and installation process benefits from having two people involved, and expect for it to take up a bit of time. That said, once it’s in place, you just might find yourself craving a second one for a matching set.

Modway Arbor Outdoor Patio Wood Swing Chair

$578 At Wayfair

This hanging chair comes with everything you need: the frame, a stand, cushions, and a chain so you can hang the chair from the frame. The thick cushions are available in a variety of colors, while the frame is in a neutral shade. We like that the chair is specifically designed with durability for the outdoors in mind; it’s made with weather- and UV-resistant materials. 

The assembly process is very quick and straightforward. You may find you need a second set of hands to get the chair onto the stand. Once you’re in the chair, you’ll be able to rock and swing without the chair feeling off-balance or at all precarious thanks to a generous base and an all-around sturdy design. This is a strong and well-made alternative to traditional patio chairs that’s designed to last through many years of sitting outdoors.

Zolo Zolo Hanging Lounge Chair

$1,022 At Wayfair View On Walmart View On Raymourflanigan.com

If you're looking for an eye-catching chair, we love the unique details on this round option. Available in two colorways, this hanging chair is ideal for both indoor and outdoor spaces. The stand comes in one color, and the cushions are a contrasting color. Since it has a stand, assembly is very minimal, and any materials you’ll require are included with your purchase.

This chair will fit quite well in your space if you gravitate toward a mid-century modern style. The frame is made with rattan wicker, featuring a curlicue-like design throughout. You can imagine that if you sit in this chair in a sunny spot outside, you’ll feel sun-dappled and fully relaxed. The cushions, which are made with all-weather and water-repellent polyester fabric, have removable covers.

Radiata Foldable Wicker Rattan Hanging Egg Chair with Stand

$119 At Amazon

This reasonably priced hanging chair has a lot of details we love. In particular, we appreciate the convenience of being able to easily fold up the chair for convenient storage. Other things that make this chair a good option: It has a relatively high weight capacity of 365 pounds, and the manufacturer provides a one-year warranty. 

Plus, the chair is easy to assemble, and all the tools you’ll need to complete this task come with the project. It comes with a pillow and seat cushion, and can be used either indoors or outside. Since it comes with a stand, you can also move it from one location to another. Note that it does weigh more than 50 pounds, so you likely won’t want to move it frequently. This is one of the more budget-friendly options on the list, and we think it offers great value, considering you won’t need to purchase anything additional and it’s a high quality and sturdy piece.

Anthropologie Chair

$698 At Anthropologie

Lounging in this dreamy hanging chair from Anthropologie will leave you feeling like you’re on a vacation. The chair is made from a natural-colored rattan, with gorgeous patterning details. The chair is sealed with a clear lacquer. It can be used either indoors or outdoors, and with a weight of 25 pounds, it’s relatively easy to move it from one spot to another. The manufacturer recommends bringing it inside when it’s not in use (say, during colder seasons) and when the weather is inclement, as well as avoiding keeping it directly in the sunlight. 

Just be cautious with the decorative bits and arms of this chair—unlike many other chairs on this list, this one is somewhat delicate. The chair comes with rope, and will need to be installed, since it doesn’t have a stand. Note that the manufacturer does not specify a weight capacity of the chair.

Tangkula Hanging Hammock Chair

$65 At Target

Give ’70s style a warm welcome with this macrame hanging chair from Target.  It comes in neutral shades, or a bold turquoise option, and is made from steel, cotton, and polyester. Tassels dangle from the bottom of the chair (and you can just imagine how delightful they’d be with a breeze going). 

Hang this chair indoors or outside—you’ll just need a sturdy spot to use the hanging hardware, including a hook and carabiner, to attach it to a ceiling or post. You can have the ropes oriented so it’s more like a swing, allowing you to go back and forth, or so that it’s set up in a pivot style, allowing you to rotate 360 degrees around. This hanging chair will hold up to 330 pounds. Conveniently, you can fold it up when it’s not in use, and then store it away until it’s in-season again.

Brafab Hanging Egg Chair

View On Walmart

This swinging egg-style chair is great for kids and adults alike. Made by Brafab, this chair will support up to 350 pounds. It’s easy to want to lounge in this chair, since comfort is prioritized with a soft cushion and pillow. You can set this chair up inside your home or use it outdoors, thanks to weather-resistant materials. 

When the chair isn’t in use, you can keep the stand in place, but fold the chair itself to minimize the space it takes up. This also makes it easy to move around. Setting up this chair is easy, since all of the tools and parts you’ll need to complete this task are included. This is a durable, well-constructed option. Like the SURPCOS Round Hammock Chair Swing, this is another chair that’s ideal for tweens and teens. 

Mainstays Wicker Outdoor Patio Double Hanging Egg Chair

$297 At Walmart

Why sit alone? This pretty, birdcage-like chair, made by Mainstays, is designed to fit two people. While the weight capacity of this chair isn’t mentioned, it is made with a very durable frame and heavy duty chain. At every point, the manufacturer designed this chair to stand up to the elements: The frame is UV-resistant, and has a rust-resistant finish. The fabric of the cushions is fade-resistant. 

A helpful video walks you through the straightforward assembly process. A nice feature of this chair is that it can easily be disassembled, so that you can store it away in the off-season. Once you’re seated in the chair—whether solo or with a companion—you’ll be able to lazily swing and enjoy the outdoors.

MERNLIVING Luxury Leather Hanging Egg Chair

$559 At Etsy

Many of the hanging chairs featured on this list that are appropriate inside have featured a softer, more romantic appearance. Not so with this gorgeous faux leather chair sold on Etsy, which has a more modern and sophisticated appeal. This chair has a weight capacity of 275 pounds, and is made with faux leather, powder-coated steel tubes, and rope. 

The manufacturer says that it can be used either inside or outdoors, though we think it will look best inside. It’s beautifully designed, and handcrafted, and comes with a head pillow. While the faux leather will develop a natural patina over time, it’s also easily cleaned with the help of a damp cloth. Along with the chair, you’ll get ropes, a carbine, a dowel, and a steel ring for hanging it. You’ll need to purchase hardware to install it in a ceiling or beam, however.

Anthropologie Hanging Chair

View On Anthropologie

This delicate macrame beauty is handcrafted, which means you’re getting a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This hair is an indoor-only option, and comes with hardware to hang up the chair, although a rope is not included with your purchase. The iron frame of the chair is wrapped in cream-colored polyester yarn. 

This will be a stunning addition to your living space, offering a spot of peace. Because the chair is essentially see-through, it will provide a generous seating opportunity without taking up a lot of space in terms of floor footprint or visually. That can make it ideal for a smaller space, although it also would be a beautiful focal point in a larger room as well. For added comfort, consider adding pillows and blankets so that you can sit for longer periods of time.
