Hanging Daybeds vs. Egg Chairs: The Backyard Battle You DIDN’T Know You Needed

Let’s face it, folks. We all dream of that picture-perfect backyard sanctuary. But between you, me, and the internet, there’s a silent war brewing, a backyard battle so fierce it would make gladiators weep. In one corner: the hanging egg chair, all sleek lines and retro vibes. In the other corner: the outdoor hanging daybed, the undisputed king (or queen) of outdoor lounging.

Now, the egg chair. It sure is purty. Like a giant avocado sliced in half with a cute little cushion. But here’s the truth bomb you didn’t see coming: hanging egg chairs are a comfort myth. Sitting in one is like trying to achieve nirvana while perched on a deflated beach ball. Your knees jut out like a startled flamingo, your neck cranes like a curious giraffe, and getting out requires the agility of a circus contortionist. And let’s not forget the plight of the tall person (or anyone over 5 foot). Wedging yourself into an egg chair is basically a chiropractor’s appointment waiting to happen.

The outdoor hanging daybed, on the other hand, is the Leonardo da Vinci of outdoor relaxation. It’s an invention that screams, “Hey, I get it. You want to bask in the sun like a lizard on a rock, but with better back support and enough space to nap like a sloth after a particularly filling lunch of leaves.” Picture this: you, gently swaying in the breeze, a cool drink in hand, worries melting away faster than an ice cube on a hot day. That’s the magic of the hanging daybed, my friends. 

Pure, unadulterated bliss.

So, the next time you’re scrolling through #backyardgoals #patioinspo on Instagram, don’t be fooled by the allure of the egg chair. Choose comfort, function and style with the outdoor hanging daybed. Because let’s be honest, who wants a backyard status symbol that looks good but leaves you feeling like a pretzel? 

Live your best life, people. Get yourself a hanging daybed and embrace the glorious sprawl of relaxation.

I can’t show you an image of a person squished up in an egg chair because it wouldn’t be safe or comfortable, however, I can absolutely show you a picture of someone chilling out on their hanging daybed!)
