How to use a Hammock Chair

How to make the most of a Hammock Chair

Once you have experienced sitting in a hammock chair you will gladly say goodbye to all your former ideas of a chair needing four legs and a solid floor underneath.

There is a whole variety of comfortable sitting positions in a hammock chair:

Classic sitting position: Your feet remain on the ground, legs at a slight angle. This way you control the direction of the hammock chair with your feet. This classic sitting position is possible in all sizes of hammock chairs.

Cross-legged sitting position: The legs remain in the hammock chair. Its material snuggles against the body, makes the user feel warm and naturally protected. For the tailor seat in a woven hammock chair, a grown up person needs at least 160 – 180 cm from selvedge to selvedge. Just about all chairs made from netting, like the hammock chairs Nico by La Siesta allow the tailor seat.

Outstretched legs: This position allows your legs to stretch out horizontally inside the hammock chair. Some models, like the Lounger by La Siesta offer a very near lying position. The Lounger combines the best of both: the mobility of a hammock chair with the comfort of a hammock. To make the whole body length, i.e. head and outstretched legs, fit into a hammock chair, the material of woven hammock chairs must be at least a little longer than the size of its user. Some hammock chairs with seats made from netting, like Nico C250 by La Siesta, provide the same effect.
