Why does the Idler swing seat cost more than other garden swing seats?
Only the finest materials are used to make the Idler. We use traditional craftsmanship to make our pocket spring cushions which takes time and skill. There are 64 springs in each cushion and in total 426 springs are used in each swing seat. The heavy gauge frame is also made from 304 grade stainless steel which is very expensive. We believe the our swing seat is the best piece of outdoor furniture money can buy. Don’t be fooled by poor imitations at the local retail parks. They will not last, are very uncomfortable (please go and try one) and are a pain to pack away and move. Our family has been using the original swing seat made to the same design for the last 70 years. The frame has, dare we say, not been treated well over the years and although, not best practice, last summer we had 5 adults suspended from it! The Idler is an investment you will not be disappointed in making. The old phrase ‘buy cheap, buy twice’ is very true. You should only ever need to buy one Idler.
