Criteria Used for Evaluation
Durability
Given these bad boys will be holding your weight, they need to be strong, durable, and long-lasting.
Given the nature of yoga swings, it should not be too much of a surprise to you that their durability is of the utmost importance. Then again, it should not be much of a surprise with any product you purchase, to be honest. But, in this regard, it all comes down to the material makeup and the load capacity. Both go hand-in-hand as, without durable and strong materials, the load capacity will naturally be lower. Now, these types of swings can be made with a plethora of different materials. For example, some will be made of silk nylon, others of polyester taffeta, and even some of high-strength parachute material.
While each material is a little different, all of those aforementioned can provide excellent quality. For example, both nylon and polyester are synthetic fabrics that are highly durable. But, while nylon tends to be a little softer it is also a bit stronger than polyester. Then again, polyester is very resistant to abrasions, which is nice. As for parachute material, this can actually be made with a wide range of raw materials such as canvas, Kevlar, or even nylon. At the end of the day, though, keep an eye out for the load capacity. Ideally, you want to shoot for at least 400 to 500 pounds and maybe even more.
Features
There are a number of key features to keep an eye out on in order to ensure your complete satisfaction.
Possibly a more appropriate name for this section would have been accessories rather than features, but we digress. That is because there are three main features (or accessories) that you need to keep a keen eye out on. The first of which is the handles. First off, each individual handle needs to be made of durable materials but they also need to be comfortable. So, you may often see plastic handles that are covered with thick foam to add optimal grip and comfortability. Yet, the number of handles is also important. Most of the time, there will be six (three on each arm) and this provides with a full range of motion in 360 degrees.
Secondly, and these are more accessories than anything, look out for both daisy chains and carabiners. You are probably familiar with the latter as carabiners are metal loops that come with a locking gate and they are used to attach the swing to certain mounts. They should not be cheap and flimsy because they will be supporting you. As for daisy chains, these are quite handy. While they have a reputation for being unsafe, they can be used to adjust the height of the hammock.
Ease of Use
Practice makes perfect and mounting this type of a swing is not different. But, included hardware and instructions are nice touches.
Here is a quick question, how hard do you think it is to install and mount a yoga swing? The answer you provide is probably going to be dependent on your skill level. In other words, if you have expertise in this area and have mounted similar products before, you may think it will be a breeze. Perhaps it will to you but for others, it will not be that simple. Unfortunately, most sellers have a habit of not including any physical instructions with their model and instead, either give you access to an eBook or YouTube videos (or nothing at all). If all else fails, though, you can look up online tutorials and videos on how to mount these bad boys both indoors and outdoors.
It is not just the simplicity that you need to be concerned with. You should also pay attention to if the seller includes any hardware with their model. To mount your model on any sort of head beam or even your ceiling, you will need proper hardware. It is not too big of a deal if you need to buy mounts and hardware separately but if the seller provides them to you, it is also hard to beat that.
Portability
If you have any interest at all installing and using your yoga swing outdoors, it will probably need to be transported from location to location.
You may want to keep an eye out for an included carrying bag. Most manufacturers will include this with their model but not all of them will so be wary of that. The bag itself does not necessarily need to be bulletproof but it should be a sufficient size. If you have to literally cram every component of the swing into the bag, perhaps it is more of a nuisance than it is worth (as you can always invest in one separately).
Color
Is the color the most important feature? Of course not, but it can come into play in a minor way.
Some of you out there may believe that this is silly but you know what, it can actually come into play. Of course, it should never be your top priority and this means ever. If a low-quality model has a superior color over a higher quality model, choose the latter, please. All this section is alluding to is if there are a few options that you are stuck between (that all are high in quality) you could select the one that has your desired color. It should be kept as simple as that because as soon as it becomes a top priority, you need to sit back and realize what truly is important.
OUR TOP PICKS FOR THE BEST YOGA SWINGS
1. UpCircleSeven
With a load capacity of 550 pounds, included handles that are equipped with thicker foam and a wider seat, this is an excellent model that will most likely exceed your expectations.
Read moreDurability
The high-strength parachute material that has been used to design this swing has an aforementioned load capacity of 550 pounds, which should be more than enough.
Features
First off, this comes equipped with thick padded foam handles for comfort. But, you also get two daisy chains and also four high-strength steel carabiners that are designed to last.
Ease of Use
You actually do not receive physical instructions and, instead, access to a PDF file. The problem is, many buyers claim they never received such PDF file.
Portability
Not all sellers will include a travel bag with your purchase so the fact that this seller does can be seen as an advantage, for sure.
Color Options
There is a decent variety when it comes to the color choices of this model. You can get this set in either black, cyan, orange, purple or turquoise.
Overall
Though this is not exactly a complete set, as it is missing mounting accessories, it is about as good as it gets for what is included (which is all high in quality).
2. Summerease
What a total package this is? In addition to the fact that you receive hanging straps and hardware for installation, you also get two daisy chains for adjustment and four carabiners.
Read moreDurability
Being made out of studio-quality superb silk nylon, this is able to handle up to 600 pounds. Of course, the triple stitched hammock seat certainly helps with this.
Features
All in all, there are three comfort-size handles per swing arm and also two daisy chains that come with your purchase. Cap this all off with four high-strength carabiners and you have an amazing value.
Ease of Use
As opposed to the top model, this actually comes with all the hardware and hanging straps you will need. Yet, instructions are not included which is a bit frustrating.
Portability
To complete the ensemble, so to speak, Summerease includes a carrying bag with your purchase. So, no matter where you want to take this set, you can with relative ease.
Color Options
This specific model is actually pink and to say this is not for everyone is an understatement. They say real men wear pink but do they perform yoga with it?
Overall
All joking aside, this is a tremendous set. Though it is a little steeper in price than some of the other models on this list, you really do get what you pay for here.
3. Yoga4You
The general reception for this set has been mostly positive and for good reason. The handles are made of durable plastic and are covered with foam for comfort and the material can bear 600 pounds of weight.
Read moreDurability
Build quality is not a concern with this design that much is for sure. This is thanks to the studio-quality silk nylon fabric as it can bear up to 600 pounds.
Features
The six handles that are included here are made out of durable plastic and covered with foam. This foam is an ideal combination of practicality and comfortability.
Ease of Use
When you purchase this set, you will gain access to an exclusive eBook. This is merely a PDF guide that will provide you with basic starter instructions for mounting.
Portability
In addition to the fact that this has been engineered to be as light as possible, it also comes with a travel bag for your convenience.
Color Options
You have the option for blue or green here. But, do note that the green is more of a teal and the blue is lighter than it is dark.
Overall
For sure, this is one of the better yoga swings out there. Though it is not flawless in its engineering, it is high in quality and designed to last you for years.
4. Yogabody Trapeze
This model here is the exact same one that is used in YogaBody studios worldwide so you know it is high in quality. In fact, the material has been stress-tested to endure 600 pounds.
Read moreDurability
Indeed, this really is the same model that is used in YogaBody studios in the world. It is made of parachute fabric and is able to handle 600 pounds (as it has been stress-tested as mentioned).
Features
Though some buyers have had issues with the rubber grip handles (and the plastic cracking), this comes equipped with rock-climber grade carabiners and also the aforementioned rubber grip handles.
Ease of Use
Be aware that no physical instructions are included with your purchase here. Instead, you can access the company’s YouTube videos for setup and installation pointers.
Portability
While a carrying bag (if you want to call it that) is included, it is quite small and packing all these components inside can be tricky. In actuality, you may want to buy a slightly larger bag separately.
Color Options
From the photos, it appears that this is a possible combination of purple and blue. Either way, you may be able to find other color options.
Overall
In the world of yoga swings, this is one of the biggest sellers. Even if you end up hating it, which is doubtful, it is backed by a 10-year warranty anyway.
5. Seveni Hammock
As with any yoga swing out there, its features and included accessories are vitally important. Yet, what makes this stand out is its exceptional build quality and it goes to show how great nylon is.
Read moreDurability
All you need to know about the nylon that has been used to construct this is that it has been stress-tested to handle 600 pounds. And, this is indeed 100 percent nylon.
Features
For whatever reason, some buyers have not received the daisy chains that are clearly claimed to be included. In spite of this issue, you do get gym-grade rubber handles and rock-climber grade carabiners.
Ease of Use
Once again, no physical instructions are included with your purchase. The seller, instead, will send you their custom videos to your email account for setup purposes.
Portability
It does not seem that this comes with a carrying bag as the seller does not indicate one is included. Most likely, you will have to account for this yourself.
Color Options
One thing Seveni does provide for you is access to a nice range of color options. You can choose from dark green, blue, black, double purple, and blue and dark blue.
Overall
You see, if you actually get the daisy chains then you probably will be thrilled with your purchase. Some buyers have not, though, so do be aware that you take a bit of a risk here.
6. CO-Z Aerial Sling
If you can forgive the fact that the included carabiners here are pretty much garbage, you can enjoy an otherwise impressive set. It also comes included with a storage bag, which is a nice touch.
Read moreDurability
Due to the superior materials that have been utilized, they will reduce the wear and tear over time. All in all, the polyester taffeta can support over 400 pounds.
Features
Outside of the fact that the included carabiners have been crucified by buyers, the upholstered and thick foam handles and the sturdy daisy chains are fantastic.
Ease of Use
Per the product description, it is claimed that setup is an easy task. For novices, though, you still may need to reference some online tutorial videos.
Portability
Not too many buyers have commented on it but you do receive a storage bag with your purchase.
Color Options
If you are not a fan of black, blue or purple, then you may not be too big of a fan of this model as those are the color options you can choose from.
Overall
Let’s just do CO-Z a favor and address this design without talking about the carabiners, shall we? The polyester taffeta is a bit rough in places but it also provides great overall strength.
7. Agptek Deluxe
Now, one thing to note about this next model is that it does not come with daisy chains. It is a complete set, at least it is dubbed that way, but it does not include those items so be aware of that.
Read moreDurability
As opposed to some other designs that are made of nylon, this is made of soft polyester taffeta. It can load up to 300 kilograms (which is well over 600 pounds).
Features
This includes just about everything but daisy chains. After all, you receive three training belts that have three foam handles on each side and four carabiners that can be used for hanging.
Ease of Use
If you know nothing about this product, you will probably have to refer to YouTube videos here. But, everything is included to begin hanging your swing up indoors and outdoors.
Portability
At just over 2.5 pounds (with the seller measuring it in grams at 1200), this has been made to be lightweight to enhance the portability.
Color Options
There are two color options that you can choose from. The choice is between pink and black and while the selection is not diverse, having this option is nice.
Overall
The addition of daisy chains would have propelled this to new heights, no pun intended. As it sits, though, you get excellent quality with a swing that can support over 600 pounds.
8. Wing Outdoors
Let’s just say that this last model is not one that is particularly suited for larger folks. But, it does include six easy-grip handles and also two daisy chains that offer adjustability.
Read moreDurability
Though this is made of high-strength parachute fabric, it is only rated to support 300 pounds (which is noticeably lower than others).
Features
In spite of the lower strength, this does come with six easy-grip handles and also two daisy chains that allow for adjustability.
Ease of Use
Nope, no instructions are included with your purchase and some buyers have reported that you need to pick up some additional hardware for mounting.
Portability
At just under three total pounds, this is going to fit into the free carrying bag and be ideal to take on adventures.
Color Options
There are quite a few colors to choose from including yellow, light blue, burgundy, light green, red and pink.
Overall
As simple as it sounds, this is what it is. It is an excellent model if you are not a heavier individual. Do not mean to call anyone out here, but this is the reality of the situation.
9. Aukiee Trapeze
Utilizing 210T nylon fabric, which is a fabric that is often used in outdoor climbing gear, you know that this next swing is designed for the long haul. Plus, it comes equipped with six handles.
Read moreDurability
The previously mentioned 210T nylon fabric can handle up to 440 pounds. Also, it is made to be soft, smooth, quick-drying, and also durable.
Features
On each side of the swing, there are three handles that are made of durable plastic and covered with foam and also high-strength carabiners.
Ease of Use
It does note that this comes with an installation manual but based on feedback, it does not seem it helps that much. Also, be aware that only cement screws are included for mounting and not wood screws.
Portability
A storage bag does come included with your purchase to ensure you can take this set on the go.
Color Options
The variety of colors can only be described as decent. But hey, at least you are given a bit of variety (which not all sellers will provide for you).
Overall
When you compare this to some of the top-end models on this list, it becomes apparent that it can hang (for the most part) with most of them.
10. Bormart Aerial
Though this is of pro-grade quality, there are some key missing features that prevent it from being any higher on this list. Still, the quality is there and that is very important.
Read moreDurability
Yep, this is indeed pro-grade quality. The 210T parachute material proves that and, all in all, it can support over 400 pounds.
Features
This is another seller that inexplicably has not included their daisy chains to all their consumers. It is advertised that you receive two of them but some buyers have not.
Ease of Use
As with most of the options on this list, there is a real lack of instructions that are included. If you do not know what you are doing, you either have to wing it or look online for help.
Portability
It looks as though you will need to account for a carrying bag yourself but at least this is not too heavy.
Color Options
Bormart easily wins this section as they provide you with the option of selecting from a wide range of colors including purple, yellow, green and red.
Overall
Yes, this is déjà vu. We say that because this looks like a carbon-copy of some of the other options on this list but given their quality, that is not technically a bad thing.
