Best hanging chair manufacturers for 2020

Hanging chairs first appeared in Europe in the middle of the 20th century and were initially considered exclusive design pieces. Since then, the peculiarities of making furniture have practically not changed, but the appearance and quality of the products have improved. The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you an overview of the models of hanging chairs from the best manufacturers for 2020.

What is special?

A distinctive feature of such furniture is the installation method, in which the structure is suspended from the ceiling or fixed by means of a special stand. The popularity of chairs lies in the ability to swing in different directions or spin around its axis. They are also attractive because they can be installed on the beach, in the courtyard of a private house, on the veranda, in the nursery, bedroom and even on the balcony.

In stores, you can find various options for hanging chairs, which differ not only in cost, but also in the type of construction.

What are they?

Suspended structures vary in size, fastening method and material. In accordance with the last parameter, the following types are distinguished:

• "Swing" - have a solid frame, which ensures the reliability of fastening. Suitable for summer cottages, at home and can be an alternative to a sofa.
• "Hammock" - is a fabric frameless canvas, inside of which a special inflatable pillow with an adjustable degree of rigidity is placed.
• "Cocoon" - characterized by the presence of high side walls, which fenced off the interior of the furniture. This design contributes to relaxation and comfortable rest. It will be a good option for children - babies can be rocked in it, and older children will like to lie in such a chair. Available in various sizes and colors.
• "Sphere" - structures that are often called "egg" or "nest". They have an original shape and appearance. They are made from various materials, but most often from plastic and tempered glass. Suitable for home and perfectly fit into a modern interior in the style of minimalism or hi-tech.
• "Drop" is a structure resembling a hut in its shape. Equipped with a small window for light to enter. This is a great option for children's furniture, where the child can feel alone and at the same time cozy.

A separate category should be allocated to backlit designs - plastic and glass models equipped with bulbs around the perimeter of the transparent case. Most often, the backlight is designed in the form of a pattern - abstract lines, monograms, curls or cobwebs. In multifunctional devices, the backlight can be switched and organized in several versions at once.

Next, we will consider the main selection criteria in order to understand which chair is better to buy.

How to choose?

In order to avoid mistakes, when choosing, you should pay attention to the seat material, the installation of the structure and the permissible weight.

Material

To create hanging chairs are used:

• Fabric - most often tarpaulin, raincoat fabric or jeans. In some cases, knitted jersey is used. Fabric models are distinguished by a variety of colors and decor. You can argue about their strength - puffs quickly form on the fabric and holes are wiped.
• Macrame is woven from strong laces, twine and twine. Macrame structures have a long service life and are often used as garden and country furniture.
• Wood - most often they use bent lamellas made of natural wood, which are highly durable and environmentally friendly. Due to their rigidity, they are most often combined with a vine or fabric to design a comfortable backrest.
• Natural and artificial rattan / vine - attractive for their strength, durability, wear resistance and aesthetics. The materials are very pleasant to the touch, and outwardly they look airy and weightless. They are often installed in children's rooms. The disadvantages are the cost, as well as the specificity of care. The rattan should neither get excessively wet nor dry out.
• Plastic, plexiglass and acrylic are unpretentious and durable materials, chairs of which can often be seen on the pages of glossy magazines. Such models are versatile, appropriate in many rooms and capable of withstanding a large weight - up to 200 kg.

Installation and weight

There are some peculiarities of installing hanging chairs.

The basic requirements apply to structures with ceiling mountings. Such products must be mounted to a floor that can withstand a weight of 150-200 kg - monolithic or beam.

The hook must be firmly secured with anchor bolts. The best ones are chemical anchors, which can be reliably mounted in any, even porous material. It is best to plan the installation of furniture during the renovation stage. In this case, the fasteners can be installed as securely as possible, and then they can be hidden with a plasterboard ceiling. Tensioning is not suitable in this case, since the film may be damaged when the chair rocking.

One should not forget about the possibility of breaking the fasteners, and therefore it is important to pay attention to such a parameter as the permissible load. The maximum weight must not be exceeded - this may result in the destruction of part of the ceiling.

There should be free space around the structure within a radius of 1.5-2 meters - both on the ceiling and on the floor. This requirement is due to the fact that the structure is capable of unsuccessfully and unpredictably swinging to one side.

An alternative to mounted models is a swing chair on special stands. The advantages of such devices are that they are inexpensive, mobile, and they are also easy to transport and rearrange from place to place, since they are not fixed to the ceiling. This is a good option for those who rent or live in an area where drilling into ceilings is not possible. Such structures are equipped with a special rack on which the seat itself is suspended.

Diy cocoon chair: how to make?

A wicker structure made of flexible rods is an option that has become a classic. Making it yourself at home is not so difficult. It is enough to follow the recommendations below.

What do you need?

1. Long willow twigs, about 400 pieces with a diameter of 10-15 mm. you can use rattan - a flexible and easy-to-work material, suitable also for beginners.
2. A metal hoop that will serve as a frame. Instead, you can use twigs woven together or reinforced plastic pipes.
3. Strong twine or twine required to tie the frame, as well as glue.
4. Pruner, knife, ruler, awl.
5. Nylon lace for weaving the back with a section of 4 mm. You can also use a vine, but this option is suitable for those who already have honed weaving skills.
6. Cord, rope or chain - depending on what you plan to hang the structure on. The length is calculated based on the height of the ceilings.

Step-by-step instruction

1. First you need to prepare the vine: steam and clean the bark of the stems, and then beat off. This will make them more malleable.
2. Form a wireframe. It is recommended at this stage to use a metal-plastic pipe - it bends easily, which allows you to make a frame of any shape. After that, you need to fasten the ends, for example, with a plastic tube.
3. Attach the rods to the frame using twine. Their thickness should be 6-8 mm in cross-section, and their length, when placed vertically, should be 250-400 mm higher than the frame. If there is no material of this length, then it is better to fix the elements horizontally.
4. With vertical fastening, the rods are attached to the upper part of the frame so that a distance of 20 to 25 mm remains between them.
5. It is necessary to give the rods the necessary shape, bending them at the middle, and then collecting them at the bottom.
6. It is necessary to braid the main (frame) twigs with thinner stems transversely. You need to start from the bottom, bending and twisting the rods around the main elements.
7. Thus, the base of the furniture is woven. The final rod needs to be bent, tucked in, and then fixed with twine.
8. Done. Now all that remains is to find a suitable thickness of foam cushion, using it as a seat.

Main technical characteristics

CHARACTERISTIC	RECOMMENDATION
FRAME	For the manufacture of the frame, steel or aluminum is used. To increase wear resistance, the frame is covered with paint on top.
MAXIMUM LOAD	Much depends on the material from which the furniture is made. Constructions made of natural rattan are on average designed for a weight of 120 kg. Models made of artificial rattan on a metal frame can withstand up to 150 kg. When choosing, it is important to take into account not only the weight of the person who will use the chair, but also the own weight of the product.
OWN WEIGHT	The weight of the structure is important for ceiling installation, because it is important that the ceiling beams support it. For example, swing chairs weigh about 20 kg, and therefore are suitable for an apartment, because there will be no excessive load on the floor with this weight. The hammock chair is even lighter due to the fact that it is made of textiles - no more than 5 kg.
INTERIOR	For rooms decorated in a classic style, models made from natural materials are suitable. The white model will fit into the Mediterranean interior, and the high-tech will perfectly complement the ultra-modern furniture with futuristic elements.
EQUIPMENT	The seat often comes with a pillow. It should be made of high-quality materials and be dense enough so that the structure of the structure is not felt when sitting. The pillow should have a removable cover impregnated with a water-repellent compound. The presence of cotton in its fabric will increase the comfort.
CARE	Frameless textiles can be machine washed, while models of the "sphere" or "cocoon" type can be wiped with a damp cloth or polish matched to the material of the frame. Wood structures will have to be varnished to extend their service life.
DOCUMENTAL SUPPORT	The product must be accompanied by a warranty card, assembly diagram and instructions with operating rules.
HOW MUCH IS	The price of hanging furniture varies depending on the manufacturer, the quality of the material used and the design features. Budget options cost from 5 to 10 thousand, and more functional - from 15 to 25 thousand rubles.

Installation tips: which room is best to install in?

The main rooms where the installation of a suspended structure is appropriate:

• The living room is the classic and most common option. The seating should be compatible with the already installed furniture. If the height of the ceiling allows, then the model on the chain will look good. If there is little free space, then it is better to hang the structure in the corner.
• Bedroom - to organize a comfortable place to relax, you should install a seat near the window. More soft pillows should be placed inside. You should also make sure that their shade is in harmony with the shade of the textiles already used.
• Children's room - it is important to choose a model from environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic and moisture resistant materials. The housing must be designed in such a way that it is easy to care for and easy to clean.
• Veranda - according to buyers, this is the best place to install a hanging chair, because many people like outdoor recreation in a swinging seat. A rattan model on a covered veranda overlooking a garden or a picturesque landscape will decorate any home.
