Choosing the Perfect Hammock Chair: Size Matters
Selecting the right hammock chair can elevate your relaxation experience, but it’s crucial to consider key factors to ensure a perfect fit. From finding the ideal hanging spot to understanding size options and comfort features, this guide will help you make the best choice.
-
Determine the Hanging Location Start by identifying a sturdy hanging point at least 7.5 feet off the ground. Ideal locations include a strong tree branch, ceiling joist, porch beam, or gazebo structure. With a bit of creativity, you can hang your hammock chair almost anywhere!
PRO TIP: Caribbean Hammock Chairs come in three sizes, measured by the width of the wood spreader bar. As the bar widens, the hanging height requirement increases:
-
40-inch chair: Requires 7.5 feet or more
-
48-inch chair: Requires 8.5 feet or more
-
55-inch jumbo chair: Requires 9 feet or more
-
Choose the Right Size for Maximum Comfort A wider spreader bar provides extra shoulder room and a longer footrest, making for a more comfortable ride. Opt for the largest chair your space and budget allow to maximize comfort.
-
Consider Weight Capacity and Intended Users Ensure your hammock chair can support the weight of all potential users. We recommend:
-
40-inch chairs for small spaces and petite users
-
48-inch chairs for comfortable, all-purpose use
-
55-inch Caribbean Hammock Chairs for a luxurious experience
-
Decide on Comfort Features Do you want a built-in footrest? Many find that a footrest transforms a good hammock chair into a truly great one, enhancing relaxation. As a rule of thumb, bigger is better—choose the largest chair that comfortably fits your space.
-
Opt for Quality and Durability Caribbean Hammock Chairs are renowned for their size, durability, and comfort, making them an excellent choice for those seeking the best lounging experience.
