Looking after it

Use the cover whenever the chair is outside and not in use, and let the seat dry fully before you put the cover on, or you trap the damp underneath it. Brush the weave rather than scrubbing it.

About this product

A hammock chair on its own frame, so it needs no tree and no ceiling hook.

Freestanding, foldable, and supplied with a waterproof cover for when it lives outside. Put it in a living room, on a balcony or on a patio without drilling anything.

The chair and the stand come together, so there is nothing to fix to a wall, a beam or a tree.

The seat is woven from cotton thread and the listing describes it as soft and sponge-like, which is the feel most people are after in a hanging chair.

It folds down, so a chair that takes a corner of the patio in summer can go in a cupboard in winter.

The waterproof cover is included, with a zipped flap and a fastening under the base, so the chair can be left outside between uses.

The listing publishes no frame dimensions or weight limit. Ask us before ordering if either is the deciding factor.

Most hanging chairs come with a condition attached: a tree in the right place, or a joist you are willing to drill into. A standing hammock chair removes the condition. The frame is the anchor, so the chair goes wherever there is floor.

That makes it a renter's chair as much as a homeowner's. Nothing is fixed to the building, nothing needs making good when you leave, and the whole thing moves from the lounge to the balcony in an afternoon.

The seat is a cotton weave rather than a solid cushion, which is why it breathes in summer instead of holding heat against your back. The listing describes it for long spells of reading or napping.

The waterproof cover zips over the seat and fastens underneath, to keep rain and dust off the fabric between uses. Use it whenever the chair is outside and not in use.

When the season turns, it folds. That is worth more on a small balcony than any amount of styling.

Still deciding?

Not sure yet? That is fine.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. We pay the return shipping and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back, and your rights under UK consumer law are unaffected. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

The Standing Hammock Chair

A standing hammock chair is a hanging seat on its own frame, for indoors or out. Whether you’re looking for a cozy hammock swing for your backyard, patio, or living room, this freestanding design gives you somewhere to unwind.

Why Choose a Standing Hammock Chair?

Unlike traditional swinging hammock chairs, a standing hammock chair doesn’t require trees or ceiling hooks for installation. With its self-supporting frame, it’s easy to move and position wherever you like. Here are some key benefits:

Portable & Convenient - Set it up anywhere without the need for drilling or hanging.
Stylish & Modern - Available in a range of designs and materials to complement any space.
Gentle Sway - The chair rocks gently on its frame.

The Difference Between a Hammock Swing and a Standing Hammock Chair

Both a hammock swing and a standing hammock chair offer an enjoyable floating experience, but they serve different purposes:

A hammock swing typically requires a secure hanging point, such as a tree branch, ceiling hook, or stand.
A standing hammock chair comes with its own built-in frame, making it more versatile and easy to relocate.
If you love the feeling of a floating chair but don’t want the hassle of permanent installation, a freestanding hammock chair is worth a look.

In the Backyard - Place it in a shady spot.
