We’re currently being teased more and more with the appearance of sunshine as we slowly transition into the Spring months. This naturally means that before we know it, we’ll be heading outdoors to bask in all its glory, so it’s time to get our gardens and outdoor spaces fixed up and looking sharp ahead of our own and our guests’ appearances.

You don’t have to have a massive overhaul or redesign your landscape (you can if you want to); occasionally, the addition of one or two new items, such as a small fountain, lighting, or hanging baskets, will give it the spruce-up that it needs. If you’re venturing down the new furniture route, then there is one item in particular that you need to have on your radar, and it’s been a continuous favourite for the past five years.

We are, of course, talking about Dunelm’s must-have hanging egg chair. First becoming popular post-COVID in 2021, when normal life was slowly resuming, it has continuously sold out year after year. If that alone doesn’t provide enough motivation to become part of the egg chair owners, then it being currently on sale might give you the push you need to add it to your basket.

Usually retailing for £199, which alone is a steal compared to other similar versions on the market, you can now snap up Dunelm’s Singapore Hanging Egg Chair in Natural Brown for only £149, saving you £50.

Made from a sturdy metal frame to withstand the British elements, it is finished with stylish rattan that makes it fit perfectly into any space, no matter what your current situation looks like. The hanging design recreates the slow sway of a hammock, allowing the chair to sway gently, instantly whisking you away to a zen atmosphere after a long day or busy morning.

The deep, cushioned seat provides endless comfort that is ideal for slow morning coffees, sunny afternoon reading sessions or an evening glass of vino. The overall appearance makes it look far more expensive than it actually is, giving your garden a resort-style feel. It is equal parts cosy and eye-catching, meaning family members and friends will be fighting over who gets the hottest seat in the home.

If you want to really up the ante, then you even get yourself a Double Hanging Egg Chair, which is currently on sale for £299, saving you £100 off its original retail price of £399. This option will reduce the arguments of who gets to sit on it, but it will also provide you with a seat for a companion or to stretch out on yourself.

If you need further justification, then the 950 five-star reviews should give you the confirmation that you won’t regret the purchase. One user said, ‘This egg chair is fab! Great looking, great quality (it’s very sturdy) and the cushion is so comfy. I would highly recommend this chair, it would be hard to beat on price and quality. We also bought the cover, which again is great quality and a good fit, but it was quite tricky tying it at the bottom.’

‘Bought this chair a couple of years ago now, and it is still the most comfortable egg chair I’ve sat in. It still looks like new, the cushion has not gone flat, it’s strong, sturdy and withstood the extremely strong winds we’ve had over the winter. I always keep it covered when not in use. Can absolutely recommend and confirm you will not be disappointed,’ said another.

This is perfect for those who love to host. (Picture: Metro/Dunelm)

A third followed with ‘The best, affordable egg chairs on the market. So comfortable to sit on and easy to put together. Price is only a cherry on top. Highly recommend to anyone looking for one.’

But wait, it gets better. If you’re someone who likes all of the garden furniture to match, you’re in luck. You can bag yourself either the Singapore 4 Seater Conversation Set or the Singapore 5 Seater Corner Sofa Set to fully transport you and any guests to a paradise oasis in the comfort of your own home. Both sets will be perfect if you’re hosting friends for summer garden parties or a spontaneous alfresco dinner with the family.
