Is it time for something different? When it comes to seating, comfort is key, but often we’re also looking for something unique and practical. That’s where the bungee chair comes in. 

What is a bungee cord chair?

Instead of a standard foam or padded chair, this type of chair uses bungee cords, either in mesh or parallel patterns, to create comfortable seating. The cords are attached securely to the framework to create tensioned cushioning. 

Different types of bungee chairs

You can get quite the range of bungee cord chairs, from office to outdoor use. For simple seating that won’t take up too much space, there are bungee cord chairs that can be easily folded up and that come in different shapes. You can get circular frames or hexagonal ones like this one:

You can even get office bungee cord chairs for a comfy working day.

A popular bungee chair is the outdoor lounger that uses bungee cords to attach the cushioning to the supporting frame.

What are the benefits of a bungee chair?

Increased airflow

Because they are designed with plenty of gaps between cords, airflow is increased. The arrangement of the cords allows for air movement around the seat and backrest of the chair,  which makes sitting for long periods of time more comfortable, especially in warmer weather. Perfect for easy-to-store garden furniture!

Portable

Especially the easy-to-fold chairs, they are portable due to also being small and lightweight. The smaller bungee chairs with a flat back, like the hexagonally framed one above, can be easily transported in cars to take out for camping, watching sports or even just relaxing in your garden. 

Super comfortable  

With tensioned bungee cords fixed securely to frames, you get a unique spring cushioning. The structure of the cords allows them to support and mold to the contours of a person’s sitting position, giving ultimate comfort. 

Cost-effective 

Being a simpler design, bungee chairs can be a more cost-effective solution to seating. The recreational, portable ones can certainly be a simple seating addition.  

Quirky aesthetic  

Many like to opt for the bungee chair for its unique design and structure. Whether it’s an office chair, outdoor lounger or sports chair – a spiral or parallel pattern – they can create standout, comfy seating and add to an overall quirky aesthetic.

Helps posture  

Office bungee chairs are particularly good for posture, as they are specifically designed for working for long periods of time and to keep you upright in a comfortable position. 

Can be colourful

What’s great about bungee chairs is that they don’t just have to be black – the cords that is. There are plenty of colourful bungee cords to update chairs with, like red, blue, yellow, green, white and grey.
