Seven of the best garden egg chairs

Rey Hanging Chair with Stand Fernleaf - BBC Gardeners' World Magazine

Garden egg chairs are this year’s garden craze. These updates on a good old fashioned rocking chair twist lightly in the breeze to gently rock you while you relax. They’re  designed to envelop your whole body, creating a snug, comfy cocoon. These chairs usually only seat one and they’re great for switching off from work and enjoying a book or a podcast in your garden. 

The great thing about egg chairs is that there are several different kinds. Most come with stands, but there are also free-hanging egg chairs, which can be attached to ceilings, gazebos, or even a strong bough on a tree. They can be perfectly round or teardrop-shaped, have a high back like an armchair,  entirely wrap around you, or be open-faced. They can also incorporate a wide range of materials, from rope to polywicker to simple soft polyester. 

Sprucing up your patio? Check out our guides to the best garden sofas, loungers, and deck chairs.


Seven of the best garden egg chairs

1

Lyra Egg Chair

The natural wicker of this design helps it blend into more rustic, cottage style gardens, but its strong black metal frame means it also wouldn’t look out of place on more contemporary patios. We especially like its wide headrest. 

Price: £495

Charles Bentley Triangular Rattan Swing Chair

Charles Bentley Triangular Rattan Swing Chair

This egg chair is barely an egg at all – it’s an interesting pyramid shape. It has a deep, plump cushion, and we especially like the inclusion of a safety belt. This limits the range of motion of the chair, which is helpful if you have kids.

Price: £299.99

Lombre Egg Chair

This striking polyrattan and steel chair would be a great addition to experimental, contemporary gardens. We’re impressed with the wide seat, which is cosy and comfortable but not claustrophobic. Chairs and a small table are also available in the range.
