There is something about an egg-chair that brings a touch of luxury to any garden space. Whether its the subtle, relaxing swing and bounce it brings or the cosy, plush cushioning in which you could fall asleep, this style of chair has become unbelievably popular in the last few years. Although they quickly fly out of stores, they often come with a pretty hefty price tag.
Luckily, with summer in touching distance, some of our favourite brands have discounted their egg chair models, helping us achieve our dream garden set-up for a little less and one deal we’ve spotted helps shoppers save a whopping £150.
Artemis Home Oakley Double Swing Egg Pod Chair usually retails at an eye-watering £499.99 and fits two people easily. Shopping marketplace Yimbly, owned by the Mirror’s parent company Reach Plc, garden buffs wanting to upgrade their outdoor space can get the chair for £349.99 on sale.

The chair comes in a handful of shades from light and dark grey to brown and cream so you can tailor it to your garden’s decor and is also available in a singular style on sale for £329.99 from £419.99.
The Artemis Home Oakley Double Swing Egg Pod Chair is made with a durable rattan-effect material and is supported by a solid, powder-coated metal frame, which ensures the chair is durable and reportedly weather-resistant. The chair itself can hold up to 150kg, so you know its pretty strong and makes for the ultimate lounging spot come summer.
Measuring at H181 x W122 x D72 cm, it’s a decent size that can cater for any garden gatherings you may have. While there are no reviews of the chair as of yet, it’d be wise to get a furniture cover as while it is marketed as weather resistant, a cover would help keep it looking fresh and pristine over the years.
For something a little more dainty and space saving, Debenhams has reduced the price of this OUTSUNNY Hanging Swing Chair with Thick Cushion, Rope Structure Patio Hanging Chair by 33%, meaning it now costs £195.99 instead of £293.99. Shoppers have heaped praise on it saying it’s ‘very well made and sturdy’, which is what you want in a chair of this style.
Alternatively, if you want to add some colour to your space, Dunelm’s bright blue Elements Peacock Hanging Egg Chair is currently £199 and has been awarded an impressive 4.9 stars. One happy garden fan who bought the turquoise blue chair said: “Love this chair. Very comfy and the colour is just gorgeous.”
Another raved: “Probably the best thing I’ve bought in a long time. Really pleased with the chair. It’s comfortable and was easy to put together. Delivery was great. The driver put it in the garden for me. Such a great colour too!!”
“What an amazing buy,” someone else added. “Comfortable, luxurious and worth every penny, well done Dunelm.”
Although not everyone was as pleased, with one Dunelm customer citing: “Beautiful looking chair, great colour. Comfortable cushions. The downside is the actual chair is quite small compared to others I have had and so therefore not as comfortable . Cannot curl up in this one for an afternoon nap as chair not deep enough.”
