Best Hanging Tipi Pods in the UK: Ultimate Buyers Guide 2024

by | Last modified on Jan 1, 2024 | Advice

A hanging tipi pod can be a great addition to your home or an outdoor space. The combination of being cocooned in a dark, safe space while gently swaying creates a feeling of serenity and calm.

This guide reviews the best hanging tipi pods on the UK market this year. I’ve listed the best option for each category to make it easy to find the right hanging tipi pod, split into pods intended for kids and adults.

What stand do you need for your pod?

There are 2 ways to hang your tipi pod. The first is directly to a beam or ceiling. It will need to be secure enough to carry the maximum weight that will be used in the chair (although, for good practice, it’s best to increase the maximum weight by 20%).

If hanging directly into a beam, speak to a professional. This hook is commonly used for hanging: AMAZONAS Power Hook

The alternative is to use a stand. These are free-standing, so they don’t require drilling into any spaces. They are quick to put up and can be easily moved around should you want to take your tipi to a different room or outdoors. The best 2 stands on the market for hanging tipi pods are the:

3 Best Hanging Tipi Pods for Adults

I love my outdoor hanging tipi pod, which I put up in the garden over the summer. It’s my favourite place to cosy up with a book or to take 10 minutes out to listen to the sounds of nature. Below, I’ve listed the best hanging tipi pods for adults – whatever your budget and design preference.

1. Cacoon Hanging Chair

**BEST POD FOR ADULTS**

I love the cacoon! It’s well made, has a beautiful shape and comes in many calming colours. Its design, durability and reasonable price tag make it my top choice for hanging tipi pods for adults.

The teardrop design and low-set seat give you the most comfortable and relaxing posture when sitting in the pod. Its material is durable and can withstand outdoor weather.

If you want a larger pod with more space, the Cacoon also comes in a DOUBLE POD option!

This is a beautiful hanging tipi pod which comes available in various colours. It has a high load capacity, making it ideal for adult use. There are heavy-duty iron pipes and stainless steel hooks, ensuring it will last and withstand regular use.

The pod is easy to put up and down as it comes with a carabiner hook, and the material is both hard-wearing and waterproof, so the CCLIFE can be used outside or inside.
