I am not lying when I say that I receive compliments on the Y-Stop Hanging Chair almost every single day—from friends, neighbors, strangers, you name it. It’s made from a cozy cotton and polyester blend that’s so comfortable to melt into. There’s a small back and seat cushion that offers some additional support, and when you relax in the chair, it folds around you like a cocoon in the best way. To buy: $46 (was $54); amazon.com. There’s a small side pocket to hold items like books, journals, pens, and eyeglasses, and the decorative tassels really helped me nail the boho chic design I was going for when curating my outdoor porch vibe. It comes in three colors: beige, gray, and green; I went with the gray color and it was exactly what I was looking for—it pairs perfectly with my plants, wooden porch table, and outdoor surfboard shower. I’ll admit that I was a bit worried when setting up the hammock chair that it wouldn’t be durable, but it really is. You’re able to sway back and forth with the wind and feel safe and secure. Setup was easy, too: The swing comes with a stainless steel ceiling mount, two snap hooks, a steel chain, and eight screws for concrete or wood. I drilled ours into a wooden platform on our porch overhead, and the ropes that attach to the hammock feel tight when you pull on them or sit inside the hammock. Note: You’ll want to hang the chair a bit higher than you think you need to give yourself enough room to sink into it. To buy: $43 (was $50); amazon.com. Shoppers also agree that the swing is “easy to assemble” and feels secure: “I weigh about 150 pounds and it holds my weight just fine,” one customer wrote, adding that the material “is a wonderful, thick quality.”
