The Reserve is open – six one-off pieces, each below the price of a new commission. Handcrafted Accoya swing seats and garden swing benches, made for slow living
Our Accoya swing seats offer quiet luxury with an extra sense of assurance outdoors. Accoya is a modified timber chosen for its stability - crafted to hold its shape beautifully through the seasons - making it an exceptional choice for a garden swing seat that’s made to live outside.
Accoya also takes paint extremely well, so if you’d like a swing seat in a refined colour palette, it can be finished accordingly - without losing the calm, timeless lines that define Sitting Spiritually. Choose from 1–4 seater sizes and six signature back styles: Fan, Curve, Heart, Slat, Swirl and Arc.

Why buy a swing seat from Sitting Spiritually?
Relaxing, eye-catching and made from gorgeous natural timbers.
Sitting Spiritually has grown to become the only garden swing manufacturer licensed by the Royal Horticultural Society. We handcraft highly desirable bespoke wooden swing seats from oak, painted accoya and cedar - and have a fantastic reputation UK wide for crafting some of the best garden furniture.
Our swing seats, occasionally known as swing benches or swinging hammocks, are available with six different back designs and in a variety of sizes.
Looking for something a little different? We offer swing and frames, garden benches, pergola and seats and of course a stunning range of swinging seats for the garden. If you don’t have a suitable tree or space for a frame we even make a rocking seat just for you. Swings don't have to be just for kids - we've rounded up the best garden swings for adults for you right here.

Handcrafted garden benches that bring quiet structure to outdoor living
A garden bench is more than a place to sit. It's a pause point, a view-maker, a way of giving the garden a calmer rhythm.
Our garden benches are handcrafted in Britain from prime FSC-sourced European oak, painted Accoya and Western Red Cedar - designed to live outdoors year-round and mellow beautifully as seasons pass. Every bench is made to order in our Devon workshops with marine-grade stainless steel fixings, precision joinery, and the kind of care that only comes from a small team of dedicated makers working with timber they know well.
From the RHS-endorsed Four Seasons Bench to a simple oak chair for a quiet corner, each piece is built for comfort, proportion and longevity. Choose from six distinctive back styles - Fan, Curve, Heart, Slat, Swirl and Arc - and personalise with hand-carved inscriptions, embedded ammonites from the Jurassic Coast, or bespoke design details that make it entirely yours.
Available as single chairs, two, three and four seater benches. Nationwide delivery and optional professional assembly included as standard on mainland UK orders.
The Rockabye
A rocking bench with the mechanism built into the base - no frame or structure needed. Designed specifically for smaller gardens, verandas and roof terraces where a swing frame wouldn't fit, but you still want that gentle motion. Available in one, two and three seater sizes with all six back styles.
Classic Benches & Chairs
Our core range of garden benches, available in Tranquillity Oak or painted Affinity Accoya, in sizes from a single garden chair up to a generous four-seater bench. Choose from all six back styles and add cushions, armrest options and inscriptions to make it your own. These are designed to match our swing seat ranges, so you can build a coordinated collection across your garden.
