The seat received high praise when we reviewed it

Summer is officially around the corner. Many of us are starting to think about how to turn our outdoor space into our own personal corner of paradise. A good starting point is, of course, garden furniture, with pizza ovens, barbecues and fire pits also helping you ace al fresco entertaining this summer. Should you be after a statement piece for your patio, let us point you in the direction of Aldi’s egg chair.

The stylish swinging cocoon can cost an arm and a leg, depending on where you shop. Luckily, the budget-friendly supermarket’s cult favourite egg chair is back in stock and comes in at under £150. The affordable price means that the chair has been famously known to go out of stock almost as soon as it hits the (online) shelves, so, we’d imagine it won’t hang around for long.

If you would prefer to size up, the supermarket is also selling a supersized version with a suitably higher price tag of £249.99 (Aldi.co.uk), and a stylish rope snug swing (was £199.99, now £129.99, Aldi.co.uk), as well as a cocoon chair (was £169.99, now £99.99, Aldi.co.uk) for those who prefer their feet firmly on the ground.

So, if any of the swinging pews have taken your fancy, here is everything you need to know about Aldi’s egg chair range for 2023.

Aldi hanging egg chair and cover: Was £199.99, now £149.99 Aldi.co.uk

Rattan garden furniture is still à la mode in 2023 it seems, and Aldi has tapped into it with its egg-shaped seat made of a rattan-effect material. As for comfort, the pod-shaped chair comes complete with an attachable seat cushion and pillow which looks perfect for curling up on.

Held up by a steel frame measuring in at 195cm tall and 100cm wide, the chair itself is suspended with a 19cm long fixing chain which should allow the chair to sway slightly as you relax inside. And, owing to the being protected with UV-resistant materials and a water-repellent cover for defending against the temperamental British weather, it should be a pretty low-maintenance purchase, too.

Should you need any more convincing, the supermarket’s sell-out design was dubbed the “best affordable egg chair” in our review of the best egg chairs, with our tester noting that it “proves consistently good value for money compared to other similar products on the market”.

The writer added that it looks and feels “much more expensive than it is, the egg chair boasts a synthetic polyethylene wicker in an imperfect criss-cross weave, which gives it an artisanal quality”. The “water-proof cushioning and a weather-resistant powder-coated steel frame add to its long list of reasons to buy”. Thankfully, the budget-friendly supermarket has only gone and made the chair even more affordable by
