Mi Casa Flora
Rating: 4.9

The suspended armchair has the shape of an elongated hemisphere and its size is 124x98x72 cm. It is secured over a round base with a diameter of 1m. The curved bracket slides into the bottom spigot and is secured with two bolts. If necessary, it can be easily dismantled and transported to a new location. The total weight of the structure of 35 kg allows you to carry it on the spot by two people. It comes with a large cushion with a separate part for the head. This is very convenient and is liked by customers in the reviews.
Experts praised the hanging seat for its interesting artificial rattan weave shape, reminiscent of a spider’s web. In the middle there are two semicircular cutouts that serve as handles. Comfortable to grasp when sitting or standing up, given that the chair wobbles. An older person will find it easier to sit down in it. These notches also serve as viewing windows, because the hemispherical cocoon obscures the side view.
Advantages
- There is a pillow for the body and head;
- The structure quickly disassembles for transport;
- The fabric is water-repellent impregnated;
- Load capacity up to 120 kg.
Disadvantages
- only one link for height adjustment.

The size of the chair is 201x130x85 cm and weighs 39 kg. The cocoon is made with 10 vertical ribs and many thin strands of random weave. All metal parts of the hanging chair are covered with artificial rattan. The rest of the frame is powder coated. Bracket is secured at the bottom with an intake spigot secured with three spacers. The round base securely holds the entire structure and is located strictly under the center of gravity, so it is impossible to overturn.

The set already includes two extended pads that allow you to comfortably rest your head. There is also one large padded part under the thighs and back.

BIGARDEN Easy
Rating: 4.7

And here is the BIGARDEN Easy collapsible construction, which has a height of 195 cm and a curved bracket inserted into the base. Fastening is done with two bolts. No special skills required to assemble and disassemble – even a novice can handle it. Suspended cocoon has randomly woven threads and thin frame. Large pillow is enough for both the torso and head, but needs to be fluffed periodically. Four chain links are provided to adjust the suspension height of the chair. The pendulum system swings in all directions in a 360° circle allowing the occupant to swivel in the desired direction. Powder-coated steel protects against precipitation, but it is better to put the frame indoors for the winter. In reviews, owners like the fact that despite the affordable price, the thickness of metal in the frame reaches 2 mm.
We singled out the hanging cocoon as the best in terms of ease of getting up and sitting down. It does not have a solid base, but a crescent-shaped base. Thanks to this there is no crosspiece directly under the user’s feet, which is often tripped over.
Advantages
- easy assembly and disassembly;
- High torso and head cushion included;
- Supports a load of 130 kg;
- Four chain links for height adjustment.
Disadvantages
- corrosion will start if it gets rained on often;
- The cushion regularly knocks down and needs to be corrected.

Rating: 4.6

For those who like to spend even more time on the veranda or in the backyard, the manufacturer VINOTTI offers a suspended model with the index 44-003-02, which represents a real bed. It is made of five longitudinal ribs and armrests woven with white synthetic rattan. Comes with one large body pillow and a separate head pillow. The latter is fixed by means of garter straps and can therefore be adjusted to any body height. It has as many as 6 chain links to set the suspension structure at the desired level. Maximum weight of the person is 150 kg. The round base securely holds the load, no matter where the person bent over. If you need to disassemble the construction, all you need to do is unscrew the two bolts.
We found the chair to be the best because it is semi-reclining. It does not lower the user’s legs down, but stretches them out horizontally, allowing them to rest like in a bed. If you dozed off, the side support made of metal wires with soft cushioning will keep you from falling to the floor.
Advantages
- There is pronounced lateral support at both the head and hips;
- The center of gravity is well thought out;
- easy to disassemble and reassemble;
- six chain links for adjustment.
Disadvantages
- 90 degree right and left rotation restriction.
