CASUAL SLINGS

One-Piece Chair Sling Replacement

A one-piece chair sling is a single continuous sheet of fabric that wraps from the top rail to the bottom rail of a patio chair, supporting both the seat and the back in one piece. It is the most common sling type on dining chairs and lower-back lounge chairs from Brown Jordan, Tropitone, Woodard, and most other rail-channel furniture brands.

One-piece slings have a fabric pocket (also called a dowel pocket or rail tunnel) sewn into each end. The pocket slides over the top and bottom horizontal rails of the chair, and a flexible spline cord locks it into the rail channel. No staples, no notches, no special tools.

Casual Slings cuts every one-piece chair sling on a state-of-the-art computer-controlled cutting machine to a 1/8-inch tolerance. We sew matching pockets and hems to your specifications, include the spline cord cut to the rail length, and ship within 20-25 business days.

Most one-piece chair slings measure 16-22 inches wide at the top, 17-24 inches wide at the bottom, and 38-46 inches long from the top rail to the bottom rail. If your chair falls outside that range, our configurator will accept anything from 10 to 30 inches wide and 20 to 60 inches long.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my chair takes a one-piece sling?

Look at the back of your chair. If the fabric runs continuously from the top rail down to the front of the seat in one unbroken piece, it is a one-piece sling. If there is a gap or a separate fabric panel between the seat and the back, you need a two-piece sling.

What measurements do I need to order?

You need three: the rail-to-rail width at the top, the rail-to-rail width at the bottom, and the length from the top rail to the bottom rail. Our How to Measure guide walks through it with photos.

Can I use Sunbrella or Phifertex for a one-piece chair sling?

Yes — both fabrics work for one-piece chair slings. Sunbrella is solution-dyed acrylic, softer and with more pattern variety. Phifertex is woven vinyl mesh, dries faster and is more durable underfoot. We stock 49 Sunbrella and 162 Phifertex patterns.
