Yep, it’s the interior staple that’s been all our social media feeds for the last couple of years and for good reason. With their cosy cocooning design and relaxed boho aesthetic, hanging egg chairs are a fab addition to any space and add fun, style and comfort no matter the size.

They aren’t a huge faff to install either. Most models come with a stand and a steel chain or rope, so it’s just a case of assembling a few parts together, rather than drilling a hole into a ceiling or wall. That means you can easily take yours apart and move it onto your balcony, terrace or garden come summer. Obvs, always check the instructions beforehand though.

So if you’re looking for a super comfy and Instagrammable chair you can sit in for hours, you’re in the right place. Here are the best hanging egg chairs for your home and garden to buy right now.

With its beaut woven wicker details and cream colour palette, this Ischa hanging chair from Cox & Cox is serving real holiday vibes. Nod to the chair’s Mediterranean feel, and style yours with soft pastel blankets or add a pop of blue with a statement scatter cushion.

Crafted from hand-woven rattan and finished with a weather shield cushions, this hanging egg chair is the perfect space to relax on the weekend. We love how the pod is super spacious and features open sides so you can take in those sweet garden views.

There’s nothing worse than a rusty hanging egg chair, which is why this Homebase design had to make our list. The stand is coated to be weather resistant, so this design will truly last (if you decide to keep it outside) and the cushions included are even fade-resistant, too.

We love how easy the stand of this Branco hanging egg chair is to disassemble – trust us, it makes things waaay easier when it comes to storing your furniture in the winter months.

There’s just something so sleek about Barker & Stonehouse’s all black rattan hanging egg chair. We advise keeping the gorge quilted pillow indoors (when you’re not chillin’ in the chair) to keep it looking newer for longer.

With an open rattan design and plush neutral seat cushions, this is the perfect chair for sitting back with a glass of wine. Plus, this range comes with a whole range of matching sets (including parasols and reclining chairs) if you’re going all out with your al fresco furniture this season.

This luxurious hanging egg chair can be used both indoor and outdoor (we think it would look just as good in a Scandi inspired bedroom as it would on a patio). What’s more, it comes with a handy rain cover to protect it from the elements if you choose the latter.

This chair’s on-trend round frame is reminiscent of bubble chairs from the ‘60s – very groovy. Liven it up with some bright scatter cushions, or keep it minimalist with a crisp white throw.

A real Amazon gem, this hanging egg chair is available in a plethora of shades (from grey, black and natural) and both two-seater and singular versions. Grab yours while its currently £90 off.

Okay but seriously, this may be the most gorgeous egg chair we’ve ever seen. That detailed weave and light rattan frame are SO beautiful. We’d advise snapping it up quickly, as it sold out FAST last summer.

We’re big fans of Argos’s rattan egg chair for its stylish grey weave and matching lounge cushions. The generously sized cut-outs on either side gives it a light and airy feel, while the squishy cushions will leave you feeling nicely cocooned inside.

With a detailed black frame and crisp white cushions, this teardrop-shaped chair is seriously sleek. It’s one of the most affordable chairs on our list, so it’s a good choice if you’re saving pennies for your hols. It’s available in cream too.

This chic freestanding design is different to the other hanging chairs on our list, but it’s a similar vibe. The rattan frame is very on-trend, while the soft white cushions add some comfort. The weatherproof frame means it can be left outside all year, too.

This effortlessly stylish chair would look right at home surrounded by plants in the corner of your patio. It comes in grey and black and you can add in a chair cover for an extra £60.

This hanging chair, complete with comfy grey cushions, is a real vibe – just imagine how good it’ll look in all your Insta pics. It’s suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, so you can bring it inside once the weather’s too cold to lounge al fresco. It’d look especially cool with fairy lights weaved through the frame; it’ll give your garden a proper beach party vibe.

Not into pink? There are five frames and 12 cushion colours to choose from.

The double egg chair is perfect for a lazy afternoon with your pal, relaxing and soaking up some vitamin D (with appropriate SPF of course). In a charcoal grey, it’ll look great surrounded by a few luscious plants and greenery. A single egg chair and a double freestanding pod are also available.

With plush armrests and a head rest, this is the kind of chair you'll sink into after a long day and never want to leave. Plus, that wood effect finish and airy open frame have a proper modern Scandi feel.

This isn’t a bad price for such a roomy seat – most double egg chairs we've seen are usually above the £500 mark. It’s big enough to share with a pal or you could take full advantage and spread out in luxury.
