How to Choose the Best egg chair
Selecting the perfect egg chair involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your needs and complements your space. Here’s what to think about:
- Size and Space: Measure your intended area carefully. Consider not just the footprint of the egg chair base (if it's a standing model) but also the swing radius if you opt for a hanging egg chair. Allow ample clearance for safe and comfortable use. Options range from single-seater designs to larger double egg chair models perfect for sharing.
- Material Matters: The material impacts both the look and durability of your egg chair. Many popular designs feature PE rattan or wicker woven over a sturdy metal frame. This combination often provides excellent weather resistance, making it ideal for an outdoor egg chair or garden egg chair. Check if cushions are included and whether their fabric is water-repellent and UV-resistant for longevity, especially for garden furniture.
- Type and Stability: Decide between a hanging egg chair, which typically comes with its own stand for easy placement, or a fixed standing egg chair. Hanging models offer a gentle swinging motion, favoured for relaxation. Ensure the stand is robust with a wide base for stability, or if mounting from a ceiling, professional installation is recommended. A standing egg chair provides fixed, stable seating.
- Features and Comfort: Look for deeply filled, plush cushions for maximum comfort. Some egg chair models offer foldable designs for easier storage during off-seasons. Always check the maximum weight capacity to ensure it suits the intended users. The unique shape of the egg chair itself provides a sense of enclosure and comfort.
- Style and Placement: Consider how the egg chair will fit with your existing decor. Natural rattan finishes suit bohemian or coastal themes, while sleek black or grey designs complement modern spaces. An egg chair can be a focal point on a balcony, a comfortable seating addition to a conservatory, or a luxurious touch to a bedroom corner.
By comparing these aspects across different egg chair options, you can pinpoint the model that best aligns with your space, usage requirements, and personal style preferences, ensuring you get years of enjoyment from your chosen swing chair.
Frequently Asked Questions about egg chair
Here are answers to some common questions potential buyers have about the egg chair:
-
Can I leave my garden egg chair outside all year round?
While many outdoor egg chair models, particularly those made with PE rattan and powder-coated steel frames, are designed to be weather-resistant, longevity is improved by protection. We recommend using a protective cover during harsh weather (heavy rain, snow, frost) and storing cushions indoors when not in use for extended periods or during winter to maintain their quality and prevent mildew. Regular cleaning also helps preserve your egg chair. -
What is the typical weight capacity of an egg chair?
Weight capacities vary depending on the specific design and construction of the egg chair. Single-seater models typically support between 100kg and 160kg (approx. 15 to 25 stone). Double egg chair models will have a higher combined limit. Always check the product specifications listed on the product page for the exact maximum load before purchasing to ensure safety and suitability. -
Does the egg chair come fully assembled?
Most egg chair models require some assembly upon delivery. Typically, this involves attaching the basket (the 'egg' part) to the stand or hanging chain, and sometimes assembling the base stand itself. Instructions and necessary hardware are usually included. Check the product details for specific assembly information – many find the process straightforward, allowing you to enjoy your comfortable seating quickly.
