There’s something about rocking back and forth in a hanging egg chair that makes us feel like we’re living our best lives on a beach somewhere. However, hanging egg chairs aren’t beach specific. In fact, you can use one in almost any space, anywhere.
This small, space-saving chair was especially popular in urban homes for most of the 1970s. Today, hanging chairs are back in a big way, and we took it upon ourselves to scour the internet for the most stylish options on the market and gather them in one place. From delicate hand-woven styles that work best indoors to durable alternatives made from weather-resistant rope, there are tons of hanging egg chairs to choose from.
Luckily, we’re here to narrow the search with the best options from our favorite retailers like Serena & Lily and Arhaus. At first glance, these choices may seem similar - after all, they’re all niche furniture - but each has distinct features that set them apart. For example, one can withstand any weather event, while another is foldable and portable. Whatever hanging egg chair you are looking for, you are bound to find it here. So bring the beach to you and start rocking in your living room in style.
1. Hanging Egg Chair
You may have to spend a few minutes assembling this egg chair, but it comes with its own stand, so you can cross “trying to figure out how to hang it from the ceiling” off your list. Plus, the cushion, which comes in a variety of shades, is UV-resistant.

3. Rattan Hanging Chair
While assembling a hanging chair that swings from a sturdy stand is easier than you think, attaching this one to the ceiling is a bit more difficult, so you might get some help (like the experts at Thumbtack). Once it’s installed, you’ll spend most of your time here, as it’s deceptively comfortable and offers a full range of motion.
