Children's hanging chairs: varieties and selection rules

Swing is a favorite pastime for children and adolescents. But they can only be used in fairly warm weather. Therefore, a suspended chair for the home that removes this limitation is very important.

Buying a child suspension seat is the right step. This type of furniture is comfortable and relaxing. That's why it is definitely recommended for hyperactive children and adolescents... Both boys and girls love to sway calmly. A significant part of the suspension chair modifications are suitable even for adults.

Such furniture has a very attractive design. The hanging chair will turn into a nice accent in the middle of a child's room. Part of the disadvantage is the monotony of geometric shapes. But this problem is offset by the abundance of color options. Another hanging chair can be used both at home and on the site, in the garden, in the country.

Moving the hanging chair to a new location is difficult. Rather, the movement itself is not difficult, but fastening in a new place and removing from the old one is more difficult.

The simplest option is a frameless child seat, colloquially called "Cocoon"... Only a third of the internal volume is open to prying eyes - hence the name. In the overwhelming majority, "cocoons" are made of particularly dense textiles. They look like a combination of a hammock and a camping tent. Opportunity to play "In a hut" at the minimum height will appeal to almost all people.

But frameless chairs also have an internal gradation (by the type of attachment to the ceiling). Simple ceiling mount involves drilling holes for hooks or metal rings. Sometimes ceilings are made from hollow blocks.

It is much easier if the ceiling is equipped with wooden beams. In this case, there is no need to use special cords and other height adjustment devices. A bar attachment is the simple throwing of a standard cord or chain over a bar. When such a mount is fixed with rings, it is as reliable as possible.

Mixed fastening is sometimes practiced. The bottom line is that the chair is fixed both to the ceiling and to the floor. The top is suspended from the ceiling fittings, and several cords are placed at the bottom. In this case, it will not work to swing like on a swing, however, a very reliable and stable structure is obtained.

In adolescence, frame structures are already more attractive (for example, a hammock chair). They can have wicker bodies, shaped like a large egg or a drop. Whatever material is used, the frame chair should look delicate. It is fixed mainly on special metal racks with loop or ring supports. The shift in the center of gravity improves the stability of the structure.

From above, the rack is equipped with a hook on which a strong chain is hung. This chain is often supplemented with a spring cushioning mechanism.The chain is usually short, and the other end is attached to the top ring of the frame.

Many kids will love the bubble chair. A clear acrylic or plastic hemisphere can be attached to the ceiling in any suitable way.

The basic materials for children's hanging chairs are:

• synthetic or natural rattan;
• plastic;
• branches of a young willow;
• acrylic cords;
• silk cords impregnated with glue;
• metal rod.

There is no big difference between natural materials. They all suffer from moisture and do not tolerate overheating. In addition, the varnish layer will have to be systematically renewed. Otherwise, the design will look very bad. Synthetic materials are free of these disadvantages.

Natural rattan is most often not dyed additionally. The original color of the material looks great anyway. But artificial rattan is very important to paint in any tone you like.

Finding a hanging chair in a children's room is not as easy as it seems. The most important criterion is naturally convenience. You should go shopping with your child or teenager so that you can test the product. If it is inconvenient to sit in it already in the first minute, there is no point in purchasing such a model.

Artificial rattan products are suitable for occasional or permanent outdoor use. But the natural variety of such material quickly deteriorates from temperature and humidity changes. Experts advise paying attention to the material of the pillow. It is very good if it is weather-resistant and mechanically strong. Of course, you should also take into account your own aesthetic tastes.
