Abstract: Disclosed is a hanging chair that is capable of accommodating more than one individual. Also provided is a hanging chair that includes a suspension structure that distributes the increased load that is associated with having more than one person in the chair over a length of the overhead support. By distributing the load, the possibility of the overhead support or the suspension structure failing is, inmost situations, reduced. The present invention further provides a hanging chair that is capable of rotating about a vertical axis without causing binding or twisting of the suspension structure.
