The best hammock chairs add a relaxed, cosy look either in your living room or out on the porch or patio. Woven from sturdy cotton or synthetic fibers, these chairs are relaxing to lie in and add a slightly rustic touch to your decor. From simple weaves to macrame fringes, we've got a range of styles for your to choose from.
The best hammock chair is the Y- STOP Hammock Chair, which we think will appeal to the widest audience. Whether you're after more of a rustic, boho look or something more modern and minimal, this hammock chair will work for you. Plus, it boasts some pretty impressive cushioning, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day, whether styled on a porch, in the garden, or even indoors. See more of our top picks below.
Y- STOP Hammock Chair
A comfortable hammock chair designed to work in a variety of spaces
This cotton weave hammock is packed with padding, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a good book.
Pros:
- Soft, sturdy design
- Cotton weave design
- Neutral finish will work in a variety of spaces
Cons:
- Does not come with a hook
The best hammock chair is the Y- STOP Hammock Chair, thanks to its simple, neutral design, which we think will appeal to a pretty broad audience. Dress it up with cushions for a splash of colour, or more of a boho feel, or leave it as it is for a slightly more minimal look.
Whether you want a hammock chair to style up your porch, for a spot to relax beneath the trees, or to add interest to an empty corner of your home, this option provides plenty of cushioning to ensure it's a comfortable experience. Plus, there's the option to lay down completely if you're a fan of afternoon naps.
The only thing we don't like is the fact that this hanging chair doesn't come with an eye hook for hanging; you'll need to get one separately.
Y- STOP Macrame Hammock Chair
Designed with macrame tassels, this hammock chair has a modern boho look
Add a little color to your scheme with this stylish grey hammock chair. It even has a built-in book pocket...
Pros:
- Stylish grey design with macrame tassels
- Built in book pocket
- Padded cushions for extra comfort
Cons:
- Not everyone will like the grey design
Most of the hammock chairs in our round up are pretty neutral, but this Y- STOP Macrame Hammock Chair bucks the trend with its stylish grey finish. A great option for those looking to add a little interest to an otherwise neutral scheme, or perhaps even to complement a space with dark, inky interiors, this hammock chair still has a pretty boho feel.
Its grey finish may also be slightly more practical for some – especially in households with kids – as it's less likely to show stains. Much like the option above, this hammock chair also has plenty of cushioning, promising a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy your surroundings.
Chihee Hammock Chair
A handcrafted hammock chair with plenty of boho appeal
This hammock chair looks super zen and would make the perfect addition to a porch, garden or even inside. It's handmade!
Pros:
- Handmade
- Super boho design
Cons:
- Smells funny at first
When we're on the hunt for a hammock chair, many of us are after something floaty, delicate and ethereal to satisfy our tastes for unfitted boho interiors. If that sounds familiar, the Chihee Hammock Chair is for you.
Handcrafted from comfy and durable cotton ropes, this hammock chair is designed to last, and provide a comfy place to unwind in the process. And it only has one suspension point for super easy hanging. The only downside is that it doesn't smell great when you open the package, but it does go away after a few days.
Patio Watcher Hammock Chair
This simple hammock chair has a stylishly distressed look
This stunning hammock chair would make the perfect addition to a space with an unfitted and relaxed interior style.
Pros:
- Simple design that sipralizes veg effectively
- Designed with minimal plastic
- Three interchangeable blades
Cons:
- The suckers don't always work effectively
We love the rustic feel of the Patio Watcher Hammock Chair and think those of you looking for something with more of an imperfect feel will too.
Despite looking slightly more distressed, it's super sturdy and provides the perfect spot to unwind. And it can be used indoors, or outdoors, depending on your preference.
Y- STOP Hammock Chair Macrame Swing
A super stylish macrame hammock chair with plenty of appeal
This might be one of the most stylish macrame hammock chairs we've seen – and it's a fraction of the price of similar styles available.
Pros:
- Trendy macrame design
- Affordable compared with similar options available
Cons:
- Cord isn't the sturdiest
We love the Y- STOP Hammock Chair Macrame Swing for two main reasons. One, because it's one of the most affordable hammock chairs we've seen in this style, and also because of its super sweet macrame finish. We've seen this style all over social media in recent months, so we were excited to stumble across this one at such an affordable price point.
Complete with plenty of tassels and a stylish macrame weave, it would make the perfect addition to a garden – or even a bedroom or living room – with a boho feel. We're not too keen on the nylon cord provided for hanging – you might want to invest in a sturdy chain to hang it from instead.
X-cosrack Hammock Chair
This stunning hammock chair is illuminated by super sweet fairy lights
This hammock chair is super romantic with tiny fairy lights wrapped around it. It's also squared...
Pros:
- Square macrame design
- Pretty fairy lights for a super sweet finish
Cons:
- Need a blanket/pillow to support your neck
We love the romantic feel of the X-cosrack Hammock Chair, which combines an already super stylish macrame design with sweet fairy lights which allow it to make even more of a statement.
It's ergonomic square design is especially comfortable and we think it would add a lovely glow to a garden or porch area. We do advise to use this one with a blanket/pillow under your head, as the bar that hits your neck when you're lying in the chair is quite hard.
Our verdict
