Egg chairs, those literal cocoons of comfort for both indoors and the garden, are a major decor trend that has lasted season after season – and that includes summer 2026.
With heatwaves becoming a more common occurrence, we're all taking closer looks at our outdoor spaces to optimise every inch for comfort and entertaining, whether that's by adding a hanging chair or chic stationary seating.
Egg chairs are an amazing choice - they're both stylish and functional, instantly creating a cosy spot to relax that adds visual interest, too. And when Meghan Markle showed off her luxe white hanging chair during her Netflix show With Love, Meghan, last year, it confirmed that the once-viral egg chair is still a chic statement that will instantly elevate your garden.

Styling an egg chair for your garden
If you're wondering how exactly to style your egg chair, we have some more expert advice!
“Placing a rug under the hanging egg chair is a great way to add a sumptuous touch, whilst helping to keep your feet comfortably toasty warm on those cooler evenings,” said Nico Baxter, Director at Harbour Lifestyle. “If the temperature is something you are worried about, take your garden setup to the next level with heated lamps - the best way to make sure you can enjoy your spot all year round!”
How we chose the best egg chairs
- Style: There are some pretty incredible egg chairs out there, but as someone who is researching them for a living, they can start to look alike! I’ve chosen egg chairs that will make a standout statement, fit with your decor style and elevate your garden space, from traditional rattan to rustic wooden egg chairs and hanging chairs in bold colourways.
- Type: You might not have decided yet what type of egg chair you're looking for, so I’ve provided a few different options, including swinging egg chairs, which are suspended from a stand, as well as stationary egg chairs with legs and rope-style hanging chairs with a bohemian vibe.
- Price: Maybe you're looking for the cheapest egg chair out there – when Aldi and Lidl drop their affordable egg chairs they always sell out! – or you might want something more high-end, like a hand-crafted look. I've selected from high price points to the very lowest (under £35/$35) and everywhere in between so you can fit your lifestyle AND your budget.
- Ratings: While I haven’t been able to test out every egg chair, I’ve relied on reviews from verified shoppers, selecting those with balanced, but consistently positive, reviews so you’ll know what to expect.
