Hanging egg chairs have become the must-have garden furniture item in recent years, prompting sell-outs every time they come back into stock and, with Aldi bringing back its £189.99 style to its shelves, it doesn’t look like their appeal is going to diminish any time soon.

But these cult buys don’t always come cheap, with other luxury swing chairs costing upwards of £1,000. If you can’t quite bring yourself to shell out that sort of cash, then we have just the thing for you.

With the promise of warmer weather on the horizon it’s time to start prepping our gardens for springtime lounging and B&M has brought back the perfect piece to give your outdoor space an update on a budget.

Back for 2022, the retailer has restocked its popular macrame hanging chair, which comes in at a purse-friendly £30. Plus, this time there’s a new colourway up for grabs.

We suggest you snap one up fast though, as we predict the chairs will sell out at record speed. Read on for everything you need to know about the launch as well as our pick of similar styles you can buy right now.

If you’re looking for an egg-shaped chair, you’ll be pleased to hear that Aldi is bringing back its sell-out version this weekend.

Suspended from a powder-coated iron frame via a sturdy-looking chain, the grey rattan chair is detachable, which makes it easy to move around so you can chase the sun during the day or find a shaded corner in which to read a book.

Awarded best buy in our hanging egg chair round-up, our reviewer noted that while “attractively affordable”, Aldi’s version “doesn’t scrimp on quality, making it a hugely popular patio piece”.

Made Lyra hanging chair, grey and blue: £495, Made.com

Made’s chair is among one of the most modern takes we’ve seen of the trend as it has a geometric design and angular silhouette that’s made from a woven poly-rattan material. Featuring in our review of the best egg chairs, our tester highlighted its sturdy steel frame, which comes in a vibrant sea blue, “ensuring it stands out rather than fading into the background”. “Larger than most, and with a generous swing height, this is a luxurious patio piece you’ll be fighting your housemates over,” they added.
