Product type

Swing. Garden swing of traditional type. They look like a characteristic "sofa", usually for 3 – 4 people, suspended on a U-shaped stand under a canopy. This design can be useful both for sitting and as an impromptu sleeping place: it cannot be compared with a swing bed (see the relevant paragraph), but it is quite suitable for, for example, taking a nap after dinner.

Swing bed. A swing in which the place for the user is a full-fledged bed — that is, it is designed mainly for a lying position. Swing beds are naturally more comfortable for longer sleep than regular garden swings (see related paragraph); on the other hand, they are much more expensive, and not many people prefer to sleep in the garden. Therefore, this option is relatively rare.

Hanging chair. A piece of furniture in the form of a seat for one, suspended from its own stand. The design of the seat can be different: there are both classic chairs and devices in the form of an egg-shaped frame with a soft insert for comfort. Anyway, the peculiarity of such a swing is that they are designed to accommodate one person sitting.

— Hanging sun lounger. Chaise lounge is called furniture in the form of a bed, designed for a reclining position. Accordingly, in a hanging deck chair, such a bed is suspended from a stand. Such a piece of furniture is relatively rare, but is gradually...gaining popularity on the beaches and near the pools.

Number of seats

The number of seats provided for in the design, in other words, the number of people for which a piece of furniture is nominally designed. This parameter is indicated for the standard method of use: for example, for a classic swing (see "Type"), the number of seats is given, for a swing-bed — recumbent.

The number of seats is directly related to the type of furniture. So, hanging chairs and deck chairs are most often single, while swing beds are standardly made double. And the classic garden swing, by definition, is designed for several places, among them there are three-seater and even four-seater models.

Max. load

The maximum load for which the product is designed, in other words, the maximum weight that it can be guaranteed to withstand without breaking. It is impossible to exceed this indicator: even if the structure does not break immediately, it can happen at any time.

The maximum load is selected taking into account the number of people for which the product is designed. At the same time, in multi-seat models, the weight of each individual person is taken with a significant margin — for example, a three-seat swing can have a limit of more than 300 kg, which allows even people of massive build to use furniture safely. However, anyway, compliance with the load will not hurt to clarify separately, and with a large user weight, this is especially true.

Back height

The height of the back provided in the design of the product. Usually, it is measured from the seat to the top edge of the backrest.

It makes sense to specifically look for high (80 cm or more) backs if you want to get furniture with support under the back of your head.

Seat

The material and design of the seat provided in the product. The same design, usually, has a back.

Spring block. The base of the seat is made of springs connected into cells — usually in the form of characteristic hexagonal "honeycombs". It definitely requires a mattress, while in itself it can be quite soft and elastic.

Metal mesh. The base of the seat is made of metal mesh, usually with quadrangular cells. It has high strength, it turns out to be somewhat more rigid than the spring block (see the relevant paragraph); the latter can be both a disadvantage and an advantage, depending on personal preference. Also requires a mattress.

Wooden array. The base of the seat is made of wooden elements: for example, in a conventional swing (see "Type"), it may look like a set of parallel planks fixed across the seat. Some models with a similar design can be used without a mattress. At the same time, wood is somewhat inferior to metal in terms of reliability and durability, and therefore is rare.

Wicker. The base of the seat, woven from natural or artificial wicker. This design is especially popular among hanging chairs (see "Type"), it allows you to give the product an original appearance and at the same time is quite durable and practical; usually in such cases, t...he weaving turns out to be quite large, and a soft tab is provided for comfort. Another advantage of such structures is their low weight, which makes it easy to move the chair from place to place — for example, under a canopy during the rain (the chairs are usually not equipped with their own canopies). A classic swing can also have a wicker base, in such cases flat fibers with frequent weave are sometimes used, on which you can sit quite comfortably without mattresses and other overlays.

Textile. The base is in the form of a dense fabric, tightly stretched over the frame around the perimeter of the seat. Such products can be equipped with mattresses, but in general this is not necessary: a textile seat can be comfortably accommodated without pads, and some of these products initially assume this method of use. The disadvantage of this option can be called sensitivity to punctures and cuts: a sharp object can damage the fabric, and a tear that is not sewn up in time tends to increase over time.

Mattress material

The material of the mattress supplied with the product.

In this case, usually, it means the outer material of the mattress; the filler is specified separately (see the relevant paragraph).

Acrylic. Synthetic acrylic fabric. It has good performance properties, resists dirt quite well and is easy to clean. At the same time, many people are wary of fully synthetic materials, and such a surface may not be very pleasant to the touch (in particular, it can be slippery). Therefore, acrylic is relatively rare.

Cotton. Various types of cotton fabrics (except for coarse calico, it is usually indicated separately — see below). Cotton is a natural material, which is considered by many to be its key advantage. However, in addition to this, this option also has quite practical advantages: such a fabric looks good, is pleasant to the touch, removes moisture well and allows air to pass through, which ensures comfort for the person on it. On the other hand, cotton is quite difficult to clean from some contaminants, and can be noticeably more expensive than synthetic and mixed materials.

Coarse calico. A variety of cotton (cotton) fabrics. Coarse calico has a smooth matte surface, quite pleasant both in appearance and to the touch; such a surface “breathes” well and passes moisture, making it quite comfortable to be on it. In addition, this material is considered hypoallergenic and has a fairly long service life, and wi...thout loss of presentation. The disadvantage of calico can be called a rather high cost.

Polyester. Synthetic fibre based on polyester. Such fabrics are strong and durable, resist wear well and retain their presentation for a long time. On the other hand, synthetic fibre is less breathable and moisture-permeable than natural cotton, making it less comfortable.

Cotton/polyester. Another variant of the name is polycotton. A blend of approximately equal parts cotton and polyester. See above for details on each of these materials; and the combination of the two results in higher wear resistance and easier cleaning than pure cotton, at a lower cost. On the other hand, polycotton does not “breathe” and let moisture through so well, and therefore is less comfortable and is considered more of a low-cost material.

Blended fabric. Fabrics of mixed composition, consisting of fibers of different materials. Among other things, the combination of cotton / polyester described above is also a blended fabric, although, of course, this is not limited to this. The specific properties of such a fabric depend on the type and composition, these details in each case should be clarified separately. However, most often this option involves a combination of natural and synthetic fibers. This, on the one hand, reduces the cost and increases wear resistance, on the other hand, it worsens the permeability to air and moisture.

Dralon. Material based on acrylic fibre (see above) with some modifications, in particular, impregnation with Teflon. It is highly hygienic and practical, resists dirt well, is easy to clean and dries quickly, and does not fade in the sun. The disadvantages of this material include the relatively high cost and synthetic origin, which does not suit everyone.

Greta. Blended fabric based on a combination of cotton and polyester (see above). In fact, it is a kind of polycotton, with all its characteristic properties: on the one hand, it is durability, reliability and resistance to pollution, on the other hand, it has slightly less moisture and breathability than natural cotton. Note that "Greta" is a trademark of fabrics produced by certain factories, and specifically such fabrics among garden swings are extremely rare — "regular" polycotton without special designations is more often used.

Gabardine. Classic gabardine is a fabric made of fine wool with a texture in the form of a characteristic oblique scar on the surface. This fabric is pleasant to the touch, but rather difficult to clean, it is desirable to protect it from contamination. In addition, some varieties of polyester fabrics are sometimes called gabardine (see above); this option is considered budgetary and is used mainly in inexpensive mattresses.

Oxford. Oxford is a special fabric that has the type of weaving "gunny" ("Panamanian"), which is why a characteristic pattern of small squares is formed on the surface. The original Oxford has a natural composition and was originally used for sewing men's shirts; however, in addition, such a fabric can be woven from synthetic fibers — nylon or polyester. In the case of garden swings, the specific composition of Oxford should be specified separately.

Tapestry (jacquard fabric). Material specially designed for furniture upholstery, based on synthetics, which easily withstands high mechanical loads, and also has water-repellent properties and UV resistance. Most often, the tapestry is represented by a heavy dense fabric, on the surface of which a complex pattern is made, which is called jacquard weaving.

Texilk. Fully synthetic olefin fabric. This material has a high level of wear resistance. The fabric is non-hygroscopic and UV resistant. Thanks to the synthetic base, texilk is not susceptible to mold development. Great for outdoor placement.

Mattress filling

The material used as a filler in a complete swing mattress.

Foam rubber. Soft material with a characteristic porous structure, usually based on polyurethane foam. In general, it has a low cost; however, the specific properties and overall quality of the foam may vary depending on the price range. The common features of all such materials are softness, as well as good air and moisture permeability. The most advanced types of foam rubber can have a “memory effect”, although this feature is almost never found in mattresses for garden swings.

Sintepon. Non-woven synthetic fibre material. Differs in volume and at the same time softness, provides excellent thermal insulation while being one of the most inexpensive fillers. The specific properties and quality of the synthetic winterizer, usually, depend on the price category of the mattress; it should be noted that inexpensive varieties of this material do not tolerate getting wet and can clump as they wear.

Foam rubber / synthetic winterizer. The combination of foam rubber and synthetic winterizer. About each of these materials separately, see above, and their combination is usually implemented as follows: the inner part of the hardware of the mattress, made of foam rubber, is sheathed with a layer of padding polyester. This allows you to achieve greater softness and better thermal insulation than using pure foam rubber.

Holcon. Synthetic material b...ased on polyester fibers twisted in a spiral. Due to this, the surface is sufficiently dense and elastic, capable of quickly restoring its shape after pressing. Another advantage is that Holcon is not afraid of getting wet and is able to even endure washing in a washing machine (although a mattress with such a filler may be incompatible with a “washer” for other reasons, this point should be clarified separately). At the same time, the price of such a filler is relatively low.

Hollow fiber. Another material based on synthetic polyester fibers, in this case one of the key features is the hollow structure of the fibers. Thanks to it, the hollow fiber turns out to be light, voluminous and elastic, has excellent thermal insulation characteristics and at the same time passes air and moisture well ("breathes"). In addition, the advantages of this material include durability and the ability to resist caking for a long time. — Sintepukh. A synthetic analogue of natural bird fluff, one of the varieties of non-woven materials based on polyester fibers — in this sense, sintepukh is a "relative" of holcon and hollow fiber. This material consists of microscopic polyester fibers, in which there are cavities, thereby reducing the overall weight. To ensure water-repellent properties, the fibers are treated with silicone, and in order for the filler not to clump and retain elasticity, they are twisted into spirals. Another type of synthetic down is also produced, where the fibers are twisted into balls — it resists deformation even better. This material is positioned as environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic, it allows the skin to "breathe" and has a fairly long service life.

Filler thickness

The thickness of the filler used in the complete swing mattress.

With the same material (see “Mattress filler”), a thicker mattress is softer, sitting through it does not feel the same way; this is especially important if metal mesh or springs are used as a support (see "Seat"). On the other hand, greater thickness has a corresponding effect on weight, price and ease of movement. Therefore, manufacturers in each case try to choose the thickness in such a way as to achieve the optimal ratio between these moments, and in general, this characteristic is more of a reference than practically significant.

Support

The type of support provided in the design of the swing.

Legs. Classic legs are supports that are in contact with the ground only at certain points. There are usually four legs. One of the advantages of such supports is that they are easier to adjust to an uneven surface: three legs will contact the ground anyway, and an additional stand can be provided for the fourth. On the other hand, for the same weight of the structure, the legs have a smaller contact area than the arches and exert a higher pressure; because of this, on soft ground, the structure may sag, and on a delicate surface (for example, fragile paving slabs), the likelihood of damage to this coating increases. In addition, such supports are somewhat inferior to arcs in terms of strength and reliability.

Arc. Supports in the form of arcs, usually placed on the sides of the structure. The main advantage of such devices over legs is their high strength and reliability, which allows them to carry higher loads at a comparable cost and weight. In addition, the arches give less pressure on the ground and do not sag as much in soft ground. On the other hand, for a reliable installation of such a design, a flat surface is required, the presence of irregularities can significantly complicate the task.

Legs and arc. Products that combine two types of supports...— both legs and an arc. For details on each variety, see the relevant paragraphs. And their combination is usually implemented as follows: the front supports are made in the form of legs, and an arc is provided at the back for the entire width of the seat. In general, this is a rather specific option, used infrequently.

Circle. An option exclusively used in hanging chairs (see "Type") — support in the form of a round base. This option is considered perhaps the most convenient for chairs that have a seat in the form of an egg-shaped base with a soft tab: a bar bent at the top is attached to the circle, on which the “egg” is hung. However, it must be borne in mind that such a base can only stand stably on a flat surface.

No support. Products supplied without a support at all — it is supposed to be selected separately. This configuration is convenient for those who want to choose a stand at their discretion — or plan to hang furniture from a tree, roof or other impromptu support. However, such features are rarely critical, and the process of finding support and suspension can be quite lengthy and troublesome. Therefore, this option has not received much distribution.
