Cacoon Double - Natural White

Product Information

Adding a cocoon chair to your garden is the perfect way to create a sense of stylish tranquillity. Also known as hanging egg chairs, cocoon chairs are instantly recognised thanks to their unique egglike shape and suspended nature. Typically made of rattan, and with a soft cushion base, they're a comfortable and functional garden accessory as well as an exciting focal point for your outdoor space. A soothing way to lose a few hours on a sunny day - curl up with a good book and glass of wine, and enjoy the gentle swaying motion. When you set up your Cacoon you’ll hidden and sheltered in your personal space, yet aware of the sounds and sights around. You can be cocooned alone, or with a loved one, in your own private world. The addition of the plump cushions make it a comfortable choice. You can enjoy a well-earned soft seat after a hard day's work in the garden. It’s worth remembering that these style statements also work beautifully indoors, so if you have space in your conservatory, why not bring them in for the worst of the winter? Some stands are designed to come easily apart while others, once assembled, can be harder to dismantle, particularly if they have been left outside for a lengthy period. Most open-weave chair designs are made from synthetic or all-weather rattan. Known as high-density polyethene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), they have various ingredients added to improve their durability before being woven around a sturdy and curved aluminium chair frame.

They consist of a curved upright section and flat base that neatly bolt together to form a rigid stand. Most bases tend to be circular or oval loops with crossbars for extra strength. While a few models feature more traditional cross legs or a horseshoe design. We love the addition of the arm holes - easy access to your cup of tea or glass of wine! The cream cushions are removable so you can store them indoors when the weather turns.

When it comes to the quality of the design, details such as the hanging chain, the top-end cap (that seals the stand) and the bolts or rivets that join the frame are all good indicators of a well-made product. The cap and rivets should be smooth and well-finished and the chain links should hang straight without catching. What cushions should I get for my egg chair? You can buy hanging egg chairs on their own to suspend from a tree or pergola if it’s strong enough, but most come with a dedicated metal stand. These are usually made from tubular steel or lightweight aluminium and are powder-coated to create a smart, coloured finish.These strands are tough and hardwearing and above all, weatherproof, making them ideal for life outdoors in the Great British climate – but there is one technicality worth noting. The way the strands are coloured can often determine whether any scuffs are noticeable, so do read the small print. In mono-extrusion products, the colour permeates completely, so scuffs are hidden, while with dual-extrusion techniques, only the surface is coloured, so any damage is obvious. How should I position my egg chair?
