1. Sit Up and Sway
Unlike a full hammock, a hanging chair lets you sit upright while it sways gently. It suits reading, a short rest or a chat.

Hammock chairs take up less room than full-size hammocks, which helps in tight spaces. Many people also like the look as part of a room.

4. Who Can Use One
Adults can use a hammock chair within the listed weight limit. We do not sell our chairs as safe for children. If a child uses one, an adult should watch.
How to Hang a Hammock Chair
Step 1: Choose a Safe Location
- Indoors: A ceiling joist or beam that can take the load
- Outdoors: A strong beam, pergola or porch ceiling, rather than a tree branch you cannot check
Step 2: Select the Right Hardware
- Use hooks, chains or carabiners rated well above the weight of the person using the chair
- Check the rating printed on the hardware you buy
Step 3: Set the Height
- Install the swing at a height where your feet can touch the ground when seated
- Allow 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) of clearance below the chair
Step 4: Test Before Use
- Sit down gently first to check the fixing holds
- Adjust the height as needed
