Hanging chairs with stands are easy to place anywhere you need a comfortable seat. They are available in different sizes and designs, from a simple sling for one person to a large hammock for two adults or several children. Not only are they versatile, but they also offer an amazing range of styles and colors to incorporate into your home, patio or lawn. They can become your favorite spot to relax, or used as extra or emergency seating for big parties or unexpected guests.
Many of them simply require a simple C stand that can be set up in minutes and requires no additional construction work on your home or patio. They can be incorporated into playsets or even attached to old swing sets that children have outgrown. If you have a large, sturdy tree, some of these can be hung from a branch.
If you love the comfort of a hammock but don’t have space to set it up, a C-stand with a colorful hanging chair is the perfect solution. Soft cotton cushions with back support provide a comfortable spot for reading, sewing, or just relaxing. With the C-stand, you can place it anywhere, indoors or outdoors. The steel frame is easy to assemble from just four parts and is powder coated for extra durability. Load capacity up to 265 pounds. A one-year manufacturer’s warranty applies to purchase.
If you love the summer breeze but hate getting sweat running down your back because your chair is just too comfy, you’ll love this hanging chair. This seat is attached to a sturdy dowel rod that is adorned with tassels at each end. It can be hung almost anywhere. It can be attached to a C-stand, children’s swing, tree branch or canopy, or even the ceiling of your living room. Hanging hardware is included, but the C-stand needs to be purchased separately.
Like birds in trees, you can nest together in this conical hammock. It can accommodate two adults or a couple of children. Similar to the hanging nests of weaver birds, these hammocks are the perfect spot for a quiet chat or to escape prying eyes while enjoying nature. However, plan for additional hanging height as this requires at least 8 feet of vertical space. Can be hung with a tripod stand.
Enjoy comfort and understated good taste with this striped hanging chair. The attractive blue, grey, brown and white stripes are a calming color combination. You can imagine them next to a bed of delphiniums or even a bed of bright tulips. In summer, the cotton fabric is a good choice.

It also works well in a minimalist interior where space is limited. It goes well with wicker, seascape, shabby chic or country.
While closely resembling the egg chair, the underside of this chair is lined with a round cushion very similar to that used in shell chairs. It features its own C-stand and has a weight capacity of 265 pounds. The C-Stand’s circular base makes it a little more floor-friendly than the tripod stands. The capacity is large, and the gray color combined with the woven shell gives it an almost futuristic feel. The muted color also makes it easier to combine with other furniture.
If you’d rather settle into a chair, this aluminum rocking chair is for you. The chair’s woven body is made of olefin, a synthetic material that retains its color and shape through many seasons. The cushions are removable so they look fresh and very simple. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. However, for outdoor use, it is best to remove the cushions and cover the chair when no one is sitting on it. The cheerful color of the woven body makes it a pleasant addition to any conservatory or patio.
If you love hanging chairs, you’ll be glad to find this metal C stand. It has a 300-pound capacity, is powder-coated for durability and beauty, and is easy to assemble. At a reasonable price, you can easily set up two or more hanging chairs to share the wind swinging experience with family and friends. For use with toddler gear, some people have split pool noodles and placed them on their feet to protect little ones from bumps.
This “C” frame could almost be called an L frame. It’s a little different than your standard C-frame. Rather than the giant C on a three-legged base, it’s more in the shape of a junction between a C and a slightly broken L. The base is a wide, three-sided rectangle, with the ends turned up and then narrowing to form the hanging point on top . A steel carabiner safety hook increases hanging security by preventing items from slipping off. Good for indoor and outdoor use, its capacity is 330 pounds.
Concentrate on your decisions
Choosing a hanging chair can be confusing. There are so many styles to choose from. You can narrow down your choices by making a few key decisions.
Who will sit in the chair?
If the passenger is a large adult, be aware of these seat and prop weight restrictions. If you are planning to use one of the C-stands for a child’s swing, you may need to add extra protection against falls as the leg supports are made of steel and can cause damage. If the chair seats two or more people, consider the total weight.
Where is the chair placed?
Most hanging chairs can be placed indoors or outdoors, and many of these easy-to-setup hanging chairs will fit in a regular space, but some require additional top space.
color and style
Designs include simple slings, egg shapes, bowl shapes and a hanging tent. Two-seaters are usually bowl-shaped or hanging tents. Colors vary and most styles come in more than one color. Styles include simple hammocks with cushions, open looms perfect for summer, wide hammocks that look almost like a small hanging tent, and futuristic bucket chair styles.
textures and fabrics
Cotton is a very pleasant material that feels good on the skin and “breathes”. However, it can retain heat and moisture, which is why it is less appreciated in summer. Open weave options can be cotton or synthetic. The benefit of the open weave is that it allows for good airflow, but it can be harsh on the skin and may require some form of lining.
Costs
Simple hanging chairs for one person are relatively inexpensive, as are the stands. However, you must keep these weight requirements in mind. Buying a lightweight device for someone who weighs over 200 pounds is false savings.
purchase options
Some of the hammocks come with their own stand, but others must be purchased separately. For convenience, two types of C-stands are listed after the hammock descriptions. A large tripod may be required for some types of hammocks. The tripods or wooden arch versions are more stable than the C stands. However, the latter are sufficient for most types of hanging chairs and have the fortunate advantage that they are easier to move.
Protection
Protect your investment with a good cover, especially if it is intended for outdoor use. Wind, precipitation, heat and cold all affect your chair hammock. Dust can also have an impact. By covering it when not in use, you help your hanging chair last longer.
Goes with everything
You can incorporate a hanging chair into almost any decor, including Victorian or Edwardian ones. All you need is the colors of your room, the style of the chair and the accessories. The addition of a fringed scarf, some bright cushions or decorative tassels can transform the simplest hanging chair into a luxurious retreat.
The best thing about a hanging chair is that with any style, comfort is paramount. Whether it’s the simple sling or the elaborate gourd seat for two, hanging chairs are meant for lounging, snuggling, or even snuggling.
