How a Trip to Costa Rica Inspired the Most Comfortable Hanging Chair Ever

The Dawn of the Cloud Chair: A Story of Comfort & Inspiration

Some of the best ideas are born from adventure. That’s exactly how The Cloud Chair came to life—deep in the cloud forests of Costa Rica.

A Dream Destination Turns into a Dream Product

One evening in Colorado, we sat in our living room, each with a notepad in hand. The challenge? Write down our top five dream destinations and see if any matched.

When we flipped over our lists, Costa Rica stood at the top of both. Within a week, our flights were booked.

Little did we know, this trip wouldn’t just be a getaway—it would change our lives.

The Moment That Changed Everything

Our journey began in Monteverde’s lush cloud forest, where we stayed in a tiny jungle bungalow. That’s where we first encountered the hanging chairs—simple, elegant, and impossibly comfortable.

We had just landed the night before and stayed up until 2 AM, buzzing with excitement. But the next morning was different.

As the sun filtered through the misty trees, we brewed a fresh cup of Costa Rican coffee and stepped onto the deck. We eased into the chairs and within seconds, a wave of pure relaxation washed over us.

That moment—that feeling—stayed with us.

We knew we had to bring it home.

The Search for the Perfect Chair

After an incredible week in Costa Rica, we returned to the U.S., eager to order a set of chairs.

But we hit a wall.

  • They didn’t exist.
  • Not in Costa Rica.
  • Not in the U.S.

We searched, tested other hanging chairs, but nothing came close.

So we made a decision:
If we couldn't buy it, we'd create it.

The Birth of the Cloud Chair

We dissected every detail:
What made the original so comfortable?
What could be improved?
How could we make it better, stronger, and more stylish?

After weeks of prototypes, adjustments, and late-night tinkering, we finally built the first Cloud Chair.

Before we even made a second one, a friend stopped by, took a seat, and instantly let out a deep, satisfied sigh.

Then she said:

"I’ll take four."

That was the moment Happy Pants Furniture was born—now known as Jungle Living.

Comfort Without Compromise

Since that first chair, we’ve refined every detail:
Made it more durable
Optimized for easy assembly
Reduced shipping costs

But one thing has never changed:
💨 It’s still the most comfortable chair you will ever experience.

This isn’t just furniture—it’s a sanctuary. The moment you sink in, all the tension of the day melts away.

At the end of a long day, you might just bypass your spouse, kids, and pets—heading straight for your Cloud Chair.
(Don’t worry, they’ll understand once they try it.)

No Regrets—Only Comfort

If you buy a Cloud Chair today, your only regret will be not discovering it sooner.
