    Five Reasons to Invest in a Porch Bed

    Five Reasons to Invest in a Porch Bed

    Of all of the enhancements you can make to your home, or more specifically, to your porch, investing in a porch bed might be far down the list. It’s not on most people’s radar.

    That’s exactly why it should be on yours. There are a number of benefits that come along with sprucing up your porch - front or back - with one of our porch beds and other swing beds. All you need to do is take the initiative and you can realize some of them yourself!

    Take a look at some of the reasons below, and take the plunge if you dare. If you do, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t years ago, but at least you’ll be wondering in class and comfort!

    Give Yourself a Getaway

    The first reason is a bit obvious, but setting yourself up with a swing bed on your porch is a great way to give yourself an unconventional getaway. Everyone has a little place of their own to get away from everything, but not everyone has a swing bed on the porch.

    It’s a great way to get outside, enjoy the sights and sounds, and be comfortable doing so. Plus, there are so many other health benefits to spending time in the great outdoors, even if the only time you have to do so only allows you to get so far as the front porch.

    A swing bed for the porch can give you a quiet little personal retreat where you can listen to the crickets and the birds and absorb all of the beauty that was around you this whole time. You won’t just have a little getaway, though, you’ll turn heads, too!

    Make the Neighbors Jealous

    See above where we mentioned that it isn't on anyone’s radar to get a porch swing. It might not have been on yours until you got here. That is precisely the very reason that you should ornament your porch with a porch swing - or any other room in your home with a swing bed.

    Sometimes all you need to add a little bit of class to a setting is to deck it out with something that is not customary or will catch your attention. Rest assured, a swing bed is an attention grabber and in a good way. Add one to your porch and you will make your home pop.

    Relax in Style

    A swing bed for your porch won’t just have you relaxing, it will have you relaxing in style like never before. Say goodbye to the old days of wicker furniture and sofas for the porch and usher in a new era of contemporary style. Except this style isn’t just contemporary, it’s original too - you’ll be the only one on the block with one!

    Upgrade Your Setting!

    Adding a hanging porch bed to your porch will instantaneously add some extra color and class to the setting of your exterior design. That’s a thing, too; interior design might get all of the fire, but the exterior design is the first thing people will notice about your home before they even get a chance to walk inside.

    Call it curb appeal, if you will, but it is what it is. Add a porch swing bed to your exterior space and you will immediately be adding some style, and you might even be improving the value of your home. At a bare minimum, you’ll be upgrading the space.

    You Might Even Get Better Sleep

    Then again, there is a functional matter to consider that a swing bed might even help you sleep better. Granted, some reports are anecdotal and are not scientifically backed, but there are enough people out there that swear by hammocks, and swing beds offer basically the same experience.

    The idea is that the gentle rocking motion of a hammock, or in this case, a porch bed, will mesh with the oscillations of your brain waves to get you to sleep quicker and to give you more restful sleep. Is it a fact? Maybe - try for yourself and see if you’re more relaxed or sleep better.

    The Draw of a Porch Hanging Swing

    The Draw of a Porch Hanging Swing

    Have you ever wondered if there was another way to incorporate the design of a swing or a hanging bed into your home design or into your porch, a design that would give you the freedom to get away from the standard wrought iron and wooden swings that are relatively common today? We’re talking about a genuine porch hanging swing that was specifically designed to add an uncommon measure of uniqueness and utility to your home that regular swings can’t offer. The bed swings and other hanging benches that we offer here at Four Oak Bed Swings don’t just provide you with a laundry list of potential benefits - they’re also made to stand a cut above the competition.

    If you’re interested in a swing bed or one of the other swings that we offer here on our site, here are some of the ways you can expect it to make your life a whole lot better - and more comfortable!

    Relax

    It should come as no surprise that a porch hanging swing is just a great way to plain-old relax on your front porch. There’s nothing against regular seats and chairs for deep seating because these options are plenty comfortable as well, but there’s something unique about a porch swing that allows some people to find a deeper sense of relaxation.

    A cushioned outdoor seating arrangement might be very comfortable, but at the end of the day, it’s a static arrangement. A hanging bed or porch swing is going to offer you a dynamic experience and is subject to the influences of motion that you impart to it as well as those of the environment.

    Because of this, while you are sitting or rocking in a porch swing you will always be able to enjoy the pleasant motion of the swing, which can help to lull your mind to a peaceful state of relaxation. Whether you find you enjoy reading, conversing with friends or family, or just enjoying the sight, and smells around your home from the comfort of a porch swing, the experience won’t be the same any other way.

    One of the best ways to enjoy a setting is from the comfort of a hanging swing. If you like the feeling of being rocked by a boat or the feeling of rhythm and buoyancy you get from sitting in one, then you should seriously think about adding a porch ceiling swing to your front porch.

    Get Better Sleep

    The gentle relaxation that a porch hanging swing can offer you may have other benefits besides simple allowing you to relax and unwind. In a similar vein, there is the possibility that one may even be able to help you get better sleep as well.

    Those who enjoy the embraces of a hammock have long attested that they get the best sleep while suspended. Although this evidence is anecdotal, there may be more to it than just the tales of sailors of foresters. Apparently, the gentle swinging motions of a hammock or a porch swing may mimic the motions that a baby feels while being carried in the womb. Apparently, these undulations may synchronize with your brain waves. In this event, you may be able to experience deeper, more restful, more peaceful sleep than you would in a regular bed.

    Do we expect you to take this at face value or to take up the habit of sleeping on your porch instead of in your room? We don’t, but we do believe that if you are a napper you might very much enjoy your time spent napping in one of our porch swings. As with so many other things in life, probably the best way to figure it out is to try it for yourself. There are enough other reasons to merit adding a porch swing to your home that better sleep might come as an afterthought, but a valuable afterthought nonetheless.

    A Unique Accent for Your Space

    Another great reason to consider adding a porch swing to your home is that it is simply a look unlike any other that can’t be easily replicated. There is a lot of money in interior (or in this case potentially exterior) design, and a lot of hours spent looking into the best solutions. Sometimes all a space needs to really turn heads is an uncommon measure of novelty. How else can you add some serious novelty and curb-appeal to your home than with a hanging swing? Garden swings are common enough, but when was the last time you did a loop around a neighborhood and saw a porch swing or a swing bed hanging from a neighbor’s home?

    As you will find from only a cursory glance through our collection of swing beds and porch swings, these aren’t your average plastic porch swing. We’ll get more into the details on the quality of construction and styling a bit further along in this article, but suffice it to say that no one else produces fine swings with the function and aesthetics of ours.

    What that means for you is that you can easily add a nice little feature to your home, be it inside or outside - in this case, on your porch - that will make it a truly unique space. Not only will you be producing a one-of-a-kind aesthetic, but at the same time you can enjoy the benefits mentioned above, and one very important benefit we haven’t addressed yet.

    Increase the Value of Your Home

    Our porch swings and bed swings are comfortable, can help you relax and maybe even help you get better sleep. They’re also a great way to throw a unique accent onto your home. Do you know what else they can do? They can help you add value to your home in one fell swoop.

    Home values are impressively subjective, which is why there’s so much wrapped up in real estate pricing, and not every single element will appeal to all buyers. At the same time, if you take your time and do some research and really match the swing to the rest of the decor, the prevailing color scheme, and the other elements, chances are you’ll probably end up adding some value to your home.

    You might be surprised at just how easily you can work some of our designs into your home or into the layout of your porch. What more reason do you need to give yourself a nice little place to relax and nap, one that will also increase the appeal and value of your home?

    Even with these attributes in mind, there are plenty of other unique reasons that set our porch swings and well apart from the competition. Let’s put it this way; there’s a reason that our bed swings have made it onto some of HGTV’s immensely popular programs. Actually, there are several.

    Our Porch Hanging Swings Define the Difference

    As you will soon see, there are a number of unique traits possessed by our collection of swings that set them apart from the other seat swings and bed swings out there. Keep on reading if you want to learn more about our products; otherwise, check our collection of porch swings
    and pick out your favorite one!

    Quality Construction

    When it comes to the make of our bed swings and porch swings, we leave nothing to chance and take everything into account. We’ve been doing this for years, so we’ve developed a pretty refined process, but we only came about it by committing to excellence long ago.

    All of our swings are made by hand from premium Southern Yellow Pine, which is not only strong but lightweight. We use heavy-duty screws, dowels, and glue on every joint so that the finished frame is rock-solid and dependable enough to last you for many years. Interestingly enough, the wood glue we use is actually stronger than the Southern Yellow Pine itself, so the finished joints add integrity to the overall structure. Once complete, we finish each and every swing with a minimum of three coats of high-grade outdoor rated varnish so they can buck the elements. Moisture and sunlight wreak havoc on exposed wood, and we do our best to protect our finished pieces.

    All of our swings come with a standard 1 inch Manila rope that facilitates hanging them. Not only safe and secure but our swings are also remarkably comfortable. We design our swings so that you can lean or lay back in them without the frame rubbing on the backs of your legs and causing irritation. In addition, we design them so that the rope attaches to the sides of the swing instead of in the front. That way, if you’re laying or moving in one, the rope won’t rub against your legs. Designed for maximum comfort, practicality, and resilience, our collection of swings offers a level of quality that you just can’t find anywhere else.

    Superior Design

    Our bed swings (and all of our swings) are designed to offer you peerless quality in construction and comfort, but that’s not the only bonus built into their construction. They’re also designed to be easy on the eyes - as we mentioned above, one of our swings can add a touch of splendor and intrigue to any space in your home where there’s room for it.

    Our swings aren’t just pleasingly designed from the start, you can accessorize with some of our add ons to match them to the environment. You have the choice of ordering one of our swings with optional accessories like Sunbrella cushions, pillows, and even mattresses that will enhance their comfort, visual appeal, and last much longer than indoor fixings.

    We even take customization one step further by offering all of our swings in your choice of 15 different colors to ensure that it perfectly matches the location in which you place it. When it comes to making your home cozier and more comfortable and inviting, we can offer a lot. 

    Years of Experience

    Our founder and creator has been making these amazing pieces of functional for nearly ten years now and has been largely self-taught. His swings have sold all over the country and are currently gracing the homes of customers in many different states.

    You can also pair a hanging porch swing or a bed swing with one of our handmade tables to serve as an accent piece to it. Our collection of tables is entirely handmade, requires no assembly and even ships for free. There’s no better way to put a more personal touch on one of our bed swings than with a supporting piece of accent furniture fashioned by the same hands. Something else we learned along the way was the value of customer service, and we’re proud to say that we have satisfied customers all over the country, as stated.

    Peerless Customer Service

    We treat our customers like family, and we take your requests into account. We would also be more than happy to answer any questions you might have about our products and services, so don’t be shy about giving us a call. We’ll offer our insight into where you can place your new porch hanging swing, how to hang it, and how they’re made and finished. You can reach us by phone at 334-202-2870 or by email at david@fouroakdesigns.com.

    As another facet of our incomparable service and commitment to the customer, we offer free shipping on our bed swings, and as they are all completely finished and constructed, no assembly is required.

    Take some time to look through our collection of designs to get a feeling for where your tastes lie. We offer plenty of interesting designs, and every one of them is entirely original. Just be cautious about one thing - if you do purchase one and proudly hang it in your home, be careful not to unwind in it for too long - as relaxing in one of our bed swings may result in a state of total bliss and remove your desire to do anything else at all!

    A Hanging Daybed for Any Setting

    A Hanging Daybed for Any Setting

    At Four Oak Bed Swings, our specialty is not a surprise, and we don’t keep the secrets to our style under wraps. We do what we do well, and what we do well is making some of the finest bed swings in the country; even in the world. That’s why our designs have been prominently featured on HGTV and are so highly regarded by our customers. Call it a niche market if you will, but anyone who is serious about a hanging daybed knows there’s only one name that really matters, and that name is ours.

    Still, being a niche market, you might have thought, after some cursory research, that all swing beds were created equal, and that there wasn’t too much you could expect from them in terms of style or design. We’re here to tell you that this couldn’t be farther from the truth, and we aim to prove it.

    First off, our collection of porch swings and hanging bed swings are exemplary - and unique - for their quality. Each and every one of our hanging swings is made and finished entirely by hand.

    Our swing beds are handcrafted using Southern Yellow Pine, which is noteworthy for the unique balance of strength and lightweight durability that it offers. We use heavy-duty hardware and adhesive in our construction; our components are of such high-quality, that the joints we finished are actually stronger than the wood itself.

    Every swing bed is finished with at least three coats of an extremely durable outdoors-grade finish so that even in the face of sunlight, humidity, and varying temperatures, they will be able to buck the elements for years to come.

    We offer a collection of outdoor cushions and pillows as well, and most importantly, we offer our bed swings in a number of different colors options - fifteen, to be exact - so that no matter where you hang it, it will mesh with the color scheme and the prevailing elements of design.

    When it comes to comfort, there is no hanging daybed like a Four Oak Bed Swing. We attach our ropes at the sides of the bed swing instead of in front of and behind them so that you can enjoy a more relaxing, freer movement than you would experience with an alternative configuration. Best of all, our swings are built in such a fashion that you can lean back in them without them abrading your legs, which experience is an unfortunate reality with the swings of some other producers.

    In terms of quality, there is no room for concession. Four Oak Bed Swings determine it. The purpose of this article, however, is to illustrate the diversity and compatibility of our product line, so sit back and enjoy this overview. You will see that there’s a swing bed for just about any setting, and who knows - you may just discover it right here.

    Seaside Bed Swing

    The Seaside Bed Swing is one of our smaller and more basic models, and it’s just about ideal for building into almost any setting. Not as large as some of our other larger models, the Seaside Bed Swing can be built into smaller rooms or into the design of a porch with a smaller overhang. You might not have thought of this as a replacement for the bed in your room, but climb into one and you’ll be thinking twice about that.

    Still, we might offer some better options for bed swings to make a replacement for your indoor bed and some of them might even be able to help you get better sleep. However, this model is better for a little casual rest and relaxation; pair it with a good book and your favorite Rioja and you will have the makings of a perfect time.

    All-American Bed Swing

    The All-American Bed Swing is another classic, and though we offer it in crib, twin and full sizes, it, like the Seaside Bed Swing is ideally suited for lounging on the porch, and as we say, watching the world go by.

    It may not be as large as some of our other bed swings, but that’s perfectly fine because it excels at what it does, and what it does it provide a cozy little retreat away from it all where you can appreciate the time you have to slow down and enjoy and reflect on life.

    Part of the versatility of our All-American Bed Swing comes by virtue of the fact that it has built-in armrests, making it like the perfect floating couch. As we mentioned before, there are other bed swings that would make for a more fitting replacement of your nighttime bed, but there are scarcely any better ones for replacing your couch. Or, more fittingly, this hanging daybed just might be better suited as a secondary couch for your porch, rather than as a replacement.  

    The “Courting” Bed Swing

    Traditional courting seating arrangements make use of a relatively unique design whereby the occupants sit face to face with each other, for a greater degree of intimacy. Therefore the reason for the name; our “Courting” Bed Swing is our own take on this style of seating. We don’t do traditional seating, but we occasionally do take traditional elements and elevate them to an art form.

    Also available in three sizes, the “Courting” Bed Swing might not make the best replacement for your bedroom’s current bed, but it would be a great accessory for the porch or any common area in your home. In fact, it would be the perfect addition to a cozy little nook, whether you enjoyed its comforts in the presence of another or not. It’s ideal for those looking for a little hideaway with their “special someone,” but it also happens to be a comfortable solo seating arrangement. Comfortable, cozy, and unique, our “Courting” Bed Swing could make a fair match for almost any setting, in any room in the house.

    The Buckhead

    The Buckhead is noteworthy because it is probably the most versatile hanging daybed that we offer here at Four Oak Bed Swings. It comes with two sides and a backrest as well as armrests, but all of these are removable, depending on where and how you want to use the bed swing.

    Leave the sides up and remove the backrest to give yourself some extra space, or remove the sides and leave the backrest and get this bed in a full and you will have the perfect, the ultimate hanging daybed that you can place in any setting. Put it in the bedroom, in a sitting area or out on the porch and you’ll not only be remarkably comfortable, you’ll turn heads as well. Put this daybed anywhere in your home and you’ll be more than happy with it; it gives you the versatility to fill just about any role!  

    R&R Bed Swing

    Our R&R Bed Swing is getting into the realm of full-size bed wings that could make a good replacement for the bed in your room, should you so choose. Even so, that’s not the thing about the R&R Bed Swin that really defines it and makes it so unique. Don’t be fooled by the name, because the R&R in this title is not what you might have expected it to be.

     

    R&R; perennially referred to as rest & relaxation, is not, specifically, what the R&R refers to with this bed swing. Our R&R Bed Swing is Reclaimed & Recycled, being made specifically from reclaimed and recycled wood. It is made not only from reclaimed pine heartwood but from odds and ends of domestic wood that otherwise would go to waste. This not only diminished a negative impact on the environment while eliminating waste, but it takes something old and gives it a new, functional life. It also means that no two are the same and that the character that you will enjoy from this bed swing is unlike any of our others.

    Because it is made from wood from sundry sources, it has a somewhat eclectic feel, suiting it to areas that are similarly eclectic or made from a mashup of upcycled goods. In addition, you won’t just feel good knowing that you did right by the world when you set yourself up with one of these swings; you will literally feel good lying in it. The R&R may have served a double meaning after all!

    The Hanging Bed

     

    Here it is, perhaps the definitive hanging bed. This bed, which is arguably the best bed to make a part of your bedroom and devote to nocturnal use, can be made from reclaimed pine, Southern Yellow Pine, or even Red Cedar. Cedar, as you might have known, is not only a beautiful wood visually and aromatically, but it is also light, fairly strong, and all but impervious to rot, decay, and insects.

    Available in a number of different color options, as all of our bed swings are, this bed is the ideal bed to make your own. Once you sleep in one, chances are you’ll be wondering why you weren’t sooner. It’s adaptable to just about any setting as well, regardless of the color scheme or predominant theme.

    Pair Them with Accessories

    Another thing that’s great about Four Oak Bed Swings is that we give you the option to pair up your bed swing with a number of different accessories to really make the setting shine. In addition, many of them give you a whole dose of uniqueness and functionality.

    We provide a number of Sunbrella cushion arrangements for each of our bed swings, which is perfect for indoor or outdoor use and could not be more comfortable. They also happen to give you a lot more flexibility in your visual design aesthetic.

    On top of that, you can pair one of our bed swings with a set of comfort chains that will totally alter the experience of sitting or sleeping in one. Normally, a bed swing offers a fair range of motion through the ropes but adding chains to the setup will give the bed swing much more animation through an entirely new axis, making it feel as though the entire swing is floating.

    In addition, you can pair one of our bed swings with an optional cup holder attachment, which will give you a place to store your favorite refreshment while you relax. Need we say more than that?

     

    Free Delivery

     

    We thought we might as well sweeten the deal a little by letting you know that all of our bed swings ship for free, which, if you were wondering, is quite a boon. Large, heavy objects are legendary for racking up high shipping costs, and we save our customers from the bulk of that. The price you see is effectively the price you pay; you don’t have to worry about exorbitant shipping costs.

     

    No Assembly Required

     

    There’s one more thing to keep in mind through all of this. Not only do our bed swings exemplify the amazing quality of construction and offer you great versatility in design; not only do we offer them free of shipping; but we also send them to you basically ready to hang. No assembly is required with any of our bed swings, so when they get to you you can hang them up and get right into the best part of being a bed swing owner: the use of it.

    How a Quality Porch Bed Swing Provides Style and Comfort

    How a Quality Porch Bed Swing Provides Style and Comfort

    The right porch bed swing can allow you to experience a new dimension of home comfort, making them an incredible option if you are interested in adding value to your home in a unique and stylish way.

    While there is no shortage of different kinds of furniture and appliances you could include in your home in order to improve it, there is no other piece of furniture quite like a bed swing as far as beauty and comfort go. Whether you are on the lookout for a way to create a sanctuary in your home where you can be alone to read a book and enjoy a bit of tea or coffee in the morning, or if you simply want to enhance the functionality of your porch, this is the furniture piece you want to invest in.

    If you are interested in a porch bed swing for your home and want to know more about the value that they provide for homeowners, you’re in the right place. This simple guide will outline some of the ways in which proper furnishing can be quite a boon to your quality of life, and the unique style and comfort benefits that a porch bed offers. By investing in your home with the right piece of furniture, you are helping to create a more inviting and valuable space for your family and loved ones to enjoy for years to come.

    Porch Beds Offer a Unique Way to Furnish Your Home

    When it comes to improving your home, sometimes you have to think a bit unconventionally. While there are certainly any number of standard improvements you could make that may help enhance the look and feel of your home, they may not be all that impactful.

    For example, a new sofa or carpet is a typical way of adding value and comfort to your home. While improvements such as these are standard practice for homeowners, there aren’t always that necessary and won’t do much to truly impact the way your home feels. You’re looking for a greater sense of comfort and a new level of functionality rather than a mere update, and that’s where a porch bed really makes a difference.

    As you think about the direction of your home and how you want to improve it in the long-term, think about ways in which you can invest in it that go beyond merely adding basic furniture or appliances. A porch bed is not simply a piece of furniture but a bonafide home enhancement that becomes a full-fledged part of your porch or patio and acts as a quality of life improvement more than just a new place to sit.

    Not only do porch bed swings offer a substantial amount of functionality, but they are also decorative in nature. High-quality porch beds accent your home and should blend in with the design of your home to create a seamless look that enhances the whole picture. In this way are porch beds a unique furnishing option, because few other pieces of furniture truly alter the way in which your entire home looks and feels to such a degree.

    Why Style Matters in a Porch Bed Swing

    Style is an important aspect to consider when investing in a porch bed for your home. There are a myriad of different styles to choose from if you know where to look for a high-quality piece, which can help you beautify your home just the way you like. Here at Four Oak Bed Swings, we have a wide variety of different porch beds that are sure to match your home style.

    This is important in order to capture the seamless look we mentioned earlier. If your porch bed matches the rest of your home facade and decor, it will truly improve your home from a purely architectural point, as well as lend itself to a more cohesive atmosphere.

    The overall craftsmanship of your porch bed matters as well, which plays into its general appearance. A well-made porch bed will have noticeable design conventions used throughout that will help to shape its style, whether it has a sleek and modern or more rustic farmhouse appearance. Either way, you want to make sure that if you are including a piece of furniture like this into your home that it is of the highest quality not only to ensure that it will stand the test of time but also so that it exudes the look and feel you want.

    Experiencing a New Level of Comfort

    The clearest benefit of owning a porch bed is in the value it provides in terms of comfort. As far as furniture is concerned, it’s hard to compare these pieces to anything else you’ve experienced. Even traditional porch swings don’t offer the same level of comfort as high-quality porch beds do.

    For homeowners who are simply searching for a way to improve the quality of their porch, this is the ultimate way in which to do so. Likewise, if you are looking for a way to create a place in your home where you can “get away from it all” and relax on your own terms, a porch bed is perfect for the job. Regardless of the style of bed you select, a finely-crafted one will provide you with an immense level of comfort that exceeds that of most other pieces of furniture.

    What makes a porch bed so particularly inviting? The best way to put it would be that they combine the plush comfort of a bed with the coziness of a couch, and the weightless feeling and gentle swaying sensations of a porch swing. Wrapped into one package, these pieces of furniture provide an oasis of relaxation and warmth that is unparalleled.

    What’s more, one of the most essential assets of porch beds is the fact that you can enjoy all of this comfort outdoors. Let’s be honest, we all wish we could get more use out of our porches. Sometimes it feels as if they go weeks without being used, whether it’s because they aren’t outfitted with the right furniture or because there really isn’t a reason to be out there at all. However, relaxing outdoors can be extremely beneficial in terms of relieving stress and getting more out of your home.

    The truth is, not all of our patios, decks, and porches are equipped to really enjoy the outdoors to any significant degree, especially as the weather gets cool. A traditional porch swing or chair simply doesn’t offer enough quality and comfort to excuse being out in less than ideal weather conditions. This is one of the reasons why our porches go underused because it’s somewhat difficult to get comfortable when the conditions aren’t optimal.

    However, a porch bed swing is different in that it provides a much higher degree of comfort. Between the plush mattress, pillows, blankets, and other items you have on hand, it’s easy to transform your porch into an autumn sanctuary that keeps out the cold while still allowing you to enjoy the crisp fresh air and beautiful atmosphere of the outdoors.

    This is such an underrated advantage, being able to enjoy the outdoors at will. Not only is this important in general for obvious health reasons, but as homeowners, we don’t get to enjoy the outside of our properties nearly enough. For some of us, getting to enjoy our porches and patios is a rare treat. By including a porch swing into the mix, you have a much better reason to get out there on a regular basis and enjoy your home on a deeper level.

    In terms of improving the level of comfort in your home, this is perhaps one of the most effective ways of going about it. Having an alternative place where you can relax and be at peace, while also being able to get outside, is an impactful change that can certainly alter your quality of life for the better.

    While a porch bed swing excels as a place to relax and escape the chaos of your household, it also provides a place for your entire family to enjoy.

    What’s To Love About A Patio Swing?

    What’s To Love About A Patio Swing?

    Whereas many swing beds are designed to grace the interior of your home, a patio swing is expressly designed to be positioned under an overhang on your patio. There are plenty of great reasons that you should consider one for your home; these are only a few of them, but rest assured, a patio or porch swing is a great way to spice up your design and add some character to your home.

    Curb Appeal

    We’ll hit hard with this first point. Building a bed swing or porch swing into the design of your patio or as a part of your outdoor decor is the very definition of curb appeal. Let’s just face it, not that many homes display these types of swings on their front porches and the ones that do definitely turn some heads. You’d probably pay an uncommon measure of attention to any home that had something like this as a part of its design yourself.

    Which also brings up the point that it's something that adds value aesthetically. Even if you don’t ever sit in one - and you should, but we’ll get to that momentarily - it adds a lot of culture and class to a setting. It’s like a fine tapestry or a classic painting, although the character is very different from either of these. A swing bed or porch swing of any nature is just going to bring a lot more class and curb appeal to your home. Executed properly, it might even add value to your home; and the swing beds we produce here at Four Oak Bed Swings are of the highest quality construction to last many years and to appreciate in character as time passes.

    Comfort

    There’s nothing like a quiet place where you can get away from everything and enjoy some rest and relaxation, and adding a swing bed to your patio is a great way to give yourself a personal space where you can relax in comfort.

    Our swing beds are designed not only to attract the eye but to give you a place to rest that is unparalleled for comfort. You can stack a swing bed high with your favorite pillows, cushions, linens, and comforters and you will have a cozy quiet place where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of life and feel like you're floating above everything, which brings up another point. A swing bed, dolled up with some niceties, won’t just be unparalleled for comfort, it might even be able to actually help you relax.

    Help Yourself Relax

    Adding a patio swing into the mix of your outdoor furniture can have a number of positive effects on top of the fact that it will offer you a ton of comfort and give your home some really unique character. It might even be able to help you relax by its very nature.

    Because a swing bed comes in a hanging design, you will find that when you get into one, the motion you impart to it will make you feel like you are floating or gently undulating. The swing will gently rock back and forth and the oscillations will slowly diminish over time until it feels as though you are no longer moving. However, any additional movements you impart to the bed will cause it to begin rocking once more.

    Some people find that they have an easier time relaxing when they are suspended, either in a swing or a hammock. Many even report that they get a better sleep when they are suspended, and though the reports are anecdotal, there are enough of them to lend some credence to the claims.

    It might just be something you have to try for yourself and see if you get the same experience. Everyone experiences the same situations differently; you might find that adding a swing to your patio furniture helps you to unwind and relax, but you might never know until you try.
