Karighar—India’s house of contemporary tradition—beautifully bridges this journey, offering handcrafted swing beds for every style and every soul.

In this guide, uncover the world of swing beds, from their styles and uses to how to select the perfect one for your space. Discover why Karighar’s artisan-made swings are the ultimate upgrade—and how you can browse and buy your own sanctuary of serenity with total confidence.

What is a Swing Bed?

A swing bed is, as the name suggests, an inviting seating or sleeping platform suspended by ropes or chains, gently rocking in the air. Think of the best parts of a hammock and a daybed blended together: plush enough for naps, strong enough for gatherings, graceful enough to become the center of any room or patio. At Karighar, each swing bed is a story—handcrafted by skilled women artisans with sustainable materials, bringing together bohemian flair and Indian tradition into a unique design statement for your home.

Types of Swing Beds 1. Classic Hanging Bed Swings

These are large enough for stretching out completely—perfect for reading, napping, or even a night’s sleep under the stars. Karighar’s Zen Retreat Bed Swing exemplifies this category: oversized, beautifully woven with natural cotton cords and finished with strong, durable metal frames. These beds suit living rooms, bedrooms, and spacious porches, and their generous size invites both solo lounging and cozy gatherings with loved ones.

2. Bohemian Lounge Swings

Slightly more compact, these swings feature intricate weaves, artisanal flair, and cozy dimensions for curling up with a book or sharing tea and conversation. The Azure Breeze Hanging Swing by Karighar is a perfect example: ideal for 10-foot walls and perfect for bringing a touch of boho-elegance to urban apartments, creative studios, or tranquil garden spaces

3. Macrame and Rattan Swings

Combining vintage inspiration with modern comfort, these swings use knotted rope and woven canes for a lightweight feel and artistic impact. Ideal for styling both indoor and outdoor zones— macrame and rattan swings, like those crafted by Karighar’s Assamese artisans, offer beauty, sustainability, and long-lasting charm.

4. Custom and Multi-Seater Swings

Karighar enables complete customization in color and size for all swing beds, so you can design a piece that’s tailored to your home. Many models easily accommodate 3–4 people, making them not just private retreats but perfect for entertaining friends and family
