This hammock camping chair provides VIP outdoor comfort
Summer is here and we’re spending a lot more time outdoors. Whether you’re gearing up for a camping trip, hiking, or just want to relax comfortably at the beach this year (spoken like a tall person who’s been stuck in a small folding chair too many times), there’s one piece of equipment that promises to take your outdoor comfort to the next level: a swinging hammock chair.
We first spotted these chairs on TikTok and were immediately intrigued. They basically combine the best parts of having a hammock with an outdoor lounger, without having to struggle to tie something between two trees. Like a hammock, they allow you to sit up and rock back and forth, much like a portable rocking chair. See one in action below.
Even if you plan on staying indoors all summer to avoid being devoured by mosquitoes, the chair is still useful for lounging between the four walls of your home, as the Amazon review admitted. Julie: “Good buy…we put it in the living room first to try it out and it’s been there longer than I care to admit, just because it’s so comfortable.
There are many iterations of the hammock chair available on Amazon, so we’ve selected the ones with the best reviews, available at various price points. They all hold at least 300 pounds and can fold up into their included stuff sacks when not in use (although we recommend following this review’s advice when packing).
If comfort, ease of set up and the understated jealousy of everyone you know seems like a go-to formula, then it’s time to get your hands on one of these chairs – it’s sure to be the best home seat for the rest of the season. As Amazon reviewer Janis Ackendorf wrote, “Once I set up this chair at our weekend campsite, it’s rarely unoccupied. As soon as a seated person gets up, another rushes to take their place. Family members are already giving hints about a possible Christmas or birthday present suggestion.
