"The seat is a piece of art"

Sitting Spiritually has been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They made sure that we got the product we wanted and there was a real sense of personal service and passion for their work.

The swing seat is a piece of art in itself, beautifully crafted and made with top quality materials, including the cushions.

The swing seat is a real eye catcher and makes a central feature to the garden. Delivery was on time and prompt and set-up expertly performed by a very experienced installer who made sure the seat was just as we wanted it. My only regret is that I did not purchase this lovely swing seat years ago.

Why buy a garden swing seat or swinging bench?

Swing chairs can make the perfect central focus for outdoor living and entertaining. Similar to hammocks, they're wonderful investments that can be enjoyed by the family for years to come.

When looked after, wooden swing seats can retain that beautiful new look for decades. The wood is a lovely alternative to metal swing seats, blending in naturally to all surroundings whether it's on the patio or the lawn. Our heavy duty waterproof furniture covers are perfect for preserving the timber across the wetter British months.


We have swing seats for all types, whether you're hanging from a tree, prefer a freestanding frame or even a pergola. Bask in total relaxation on our 3 seater or 4 seater swings, pop your favourite tipple on the drinks shelf, lay down and enjoy the sunshine. 

Tight on space? You might prefer our smaller wooden garden chairs, or our one or two seater variations. Whatever you're looking for, enjoy the beautiful outdoor with our range of garden swing seats.

Why buy a swing seat from Sitting Spiritually?

Relaxing, eye-catching and made from gorgeous natural timbers. 

Sitting Spiritually has grown to become the only garden swing manufacturer licensed by the Royal Horticultural Society. We handcraft highly desirable bespoke wooden swing seats from oak, painted accoya and cedar - and have a fantastic reputation UK wide for crafting some of the best garden furniture.

Our swing seats, occasionally known as swing benches or swinging hammocks, are available with five different back designs and in a variety of sizes.

Looking for something a little different? We offer swing and framesgarden benches, pergola and seats and of course a stunning range of swinging seats for the garden. If you don’t have a suitable tree or space for a frame we even make a rocking seat just for you. Swings don't have to be just for kids - we've rounded up the best garden swings for adults for you right here.

Isn’t it time you were Sitting Spiritually?

Our Swing Bench Design Process

Our swinging garden seats have been ergonomically designed and tested to ensure you always get the best seating position. The fixings allow the chair to subtly adjust as it rocks and sways, maintaining balance and comfort - however long you choose to be seated there.

After all, to be Sitting Spiritually you must be sitting comfortably.

Influences

Many of our designs are influenced by the sea and countryside around the Dorset Coast. Whilst the egg chair designs may have risen in popularity in recent years, we believe our furniture remains as classic and timeless as ever. With the Jurassic Coast as our influence, we've added subtle accessories such as carvings and inset ammonites. For a really personal touch, we can inscribe words into your new garden furniture. We carefully select each piece of timber to ensure the colour, wood grain and finished shape all work in harmony.

Styles & Options

We have five swing seat ranges to choose from. Once you have decided which best suits you, you'll then need to decide which timber you would prefer. The natural finish of sturdy FSC Oak or the warm, durable Western Red Cedar. Maybe you would prefer to choose the durable Accoya and have it painted to your own specific colour.

We have one seater, two seater, three seaters and four seater swing seats available. We offer such a range to make sure we can make the perfect seat for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Sitting Spiritually swing seats the best?

14 years of research into making our swings beautiful, not just to look at, but with such detailed ergonomics that once you sit on them – you won’t want to get off.

We honed in on the finest details over the years, concise changes in angles and shapes that will refine and improve our products. The seats we manufacture now are undoubtedly better than the ones we first made when we started out, in another 10 years time we expect to be able to say the exact same thing.

The quality of the material we use is incredibly important to us. We regularly seek to find new suppliers or timbers that are an improvement on what we have been using.

Can I hang a swing seat from a tree?

Yes. They’re great fun! The first thing we need to know is how high the bough is, and what the girth of the bough is.

One thing we can never guarantee is that the tree will be strong enough. If you’re in any doubt, contact your local tree surgeon and ask them to verify it.

What are my options for the back of my swing seat?

At the moment, we offer 5 different shaped backs that are all the same price.

We have a Fan Back which has historically been the most popular, a Slat Back which offers an ergonomic benefit of improved lumber support, a Curve back, a Swirl back or our Arts & Crafts Movement inspired Heart Back.

What wood is best for swing seats?

All of the wood we use comes under the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) meaning we know what tree it has come from.

The Kyokusen, Tranquillity and the swinging day bed are both made with oak that grows on the Northern border of Germany near Poland. In our experience, the further East in to Europe you travel the slower the wood grows and the denser it is, meaning it is incredibly tough (much to our makers troubles!) and long-lasting.

The Serenity swing seat comes in Western Red Cedar which we source from Canada. We’ve experimented with English Red Cedar but found it grows too fast and doesn’t have the properties we need.

We also use preservative treated Scandinavian Pine for our Harmony range, a grade called ‘unsorted’ which is the highest quality available, resulting in fewer knots. 

Why should I choose Sitting Spiritually Garden Swing Seats?

These are not your standard garden benches or loungers.

In the chaos and uncertainty of modern life, our garden swing seats gift you the perfect opportunity to soothe the residual anxieties of the day. Handcrafted by our team of makers in the South West, our seats allow you to relax and unwind while swinging softly in the breeze, keeping you mindful yet totally calm.

Why not make the most of your outdoor living space and create the perfect place to sit and swing? Our wooden garden furniture is the natural choice for any garden, due to every piece being hard-wearing, beautiful to behold and with a 5 year guarantee on all products.
