WOLKENGLÜCK®
nest swing

The nest swing from WOLKENGLÜCK made a very good impression during our test.
The children’s swing from Wolkenglück offers fun for children of all ages, both indoors and outdoors. The swing can bear a load of up to 150 kg and can therefore be used safely by young and old alike. The manufacturer advertises the product as safe, versatile and durable. Only the seams of the fabric could be a little better finished. During assembly, we also noticed that the foam tubes are loose, which makes assembly a little more difficult as they keep slipping out of place. All assembly materials and detailed, easy-to-understand assembly instructions are included for assembly. No other tools are required. The durable and robust seat mat is made of a weatherproof material, which makes it possible to swing both indoors and outdoors and facilitates cleaning. The swing can also be rotated 360 degrees and is height-adjustable. The swing can be hung in three different ways.

Advantages

✅ Loadable up to 150 kg and height-adjustable
✅ Thick and tear-resistant suspension ropes
✅ For outdoors and indoors
✅ Three different suspension options

Disadvantages

❌ Material seams not completely cleanly finished
❌Foam tubes slip during assembly

For our product test, we received the nest swing from WOLKENGLÜCK in a shipping box from Amazon. When we opened the outer box, we discovered a second, company-owned box with a nice thank you note from the manufacturer. When unpacking the swing, we did not notice any further packaging, which avoided unnecessary waste. The packaging offered good protection and ensured that all parts arrived safely. The swing itself was in perfect condition. All parts were complete and there was no damage or defects. The German instruction manual was also included.

Nest swing from WOLKENGLÜCK Unboxing

The diameter is 110 cm, which offers plenty of space. The suspension ropes are of high quality and stable overall.

The snap hooks, the connecting piece and the loop straps are also robust and of high quality. No information is available on the sustainability of the swing. The swing is made of plastic, which suggests a certain durability . The swing height can be adjusted as required (150-180 cm) and can therefore be used for many years. Overall, the children’s swing is visually appealing, carefully finished (with the exception of a few seams), sturdily constructed and has the potential for a long service life.

We really enjoyed testing the nest swing as the product is easy to use and handle. The stability of the swing was tested through load tests It is extremely resilient and can carry up to 150 kg, which indicates its stable construction. The carabiners and loop straps have proven to be stable and reliable, and the safety of the nest swing has also been tested. The enclosed safety instructions recommend that children should only be supervised by their parents while swinging on the nest swing, as there is no safety harness or comparable safety devices for the children. When the nest swing is correctly assembled, it is stable and safe, the assembly material (3 wrenches, 8 screws) and operating instructions are included in the delivery and no other tools are required. Assembly is only made more difficult by the loose foam tubes, as they can slip away when inserted into the cover of the seat mat and are difficult to move. The instructions provided were clear and detailed, with illustrations for each step. However, the swing was quick and easy to set up and assemble without much effort. The durable material of the ropes and the seat mat is weatherproof and water-repellent. The swing length is also adjustable. The nest swing is ideal for relaxation and can also be used by adults . To assess the comfort of the nest swing, we had it tested by a 3-year-old child. The child found the swing very pleasant and comfortable. He was able to play both lying down and sitting up. Overall, the nest swing was convincing in the practical test.
