Buying guide for a lounger chair

Although it may seem that buying a sun lounger chair is easy, it is not. And it's not because sometimes you buy something and it turns out that after using it for a while you'd rather sit on anything but that. Or worse yet, sit nowhere and have him cracking up.

Since we want the money you spend to be of some use and to amortize it well, How about we help you buy a lounger chair? Here are some important keys.

Type

If you take a look just to look at the types of sun loungers on the market, you may not know what to choose. And there are many types and all of them can be good or bad depending on the use you are going to give them. But, in general, the best sellers are:

  • With backup: those that carry a backrest that can be positioned any way you like (within your limitations).
  • Folding: to be able to store them and not take up space, or transport them more easily.
  • With wheels: Normally these always go in the back to be able to lift it and not have to support it to the weight but it can slide on the surface.
  • With sunshade: To avoid the sun's rays in the head area.
  • Inflatable: They are more delicate because they can be easily punctured and they do not resist any weight as they can burst. Also being rubber they stick more.

Material

Wood, plastic, steel, wrought iron, rattan, fabric… The truth is that there are many materials from which lounge chairs can be made. That's why there is so much variety.

Each of them has its pros and cons. For example, plastic burns when heated, and in winter it is very cold. The same happens to steel or wrought iron. On the other hand, wood is more resistant but, over time, and especially water, it can widen and splinter, which ends up hurting you in the end. Something similar happens to rattan. And the fabric passes with the sun.

Which one to choose then? It will depend on the use you are going to give it.

Price

Lastly we have the price and here is a big fork since, from 20 euros, you can already find lounge chairs. Of course, the quality or comfort we cannot assure you, especially after two or three times of use. As for more expensive, these they would easily exceed 100-150 euros.

¿Where to put the sun loungers?

One of the usual doubts after buying a sun lounger chair is finding the right place for it. You must bear in mind that inclement weather, such as sun, rain, etc. They can deteriorate the materials and if they are not resistant, in the end they will end up breaking in less time than they should.

Therefore, depending on their characteristics, you should locate them in:

  • Protected areas from bad weather, and even protect them if there is going to be a time when you are not going to use them. This way you protect them and they will last longer.
  • Protected areas, even when they are resistant materials. It may be the case that you buy high-quality lounge chairs, with protections against the sun, cold, rain... but that does not mean that you do not protect them to extend their useful life. In fact, it is the best thing you can do as well as give them maintenance so that they are always good.

Regarding the location, we recommend that they be shaded areas and, only when you are going to use them, place them in an area with more sun or semi-shade. Of course, be careful if you put it on the lawn because the legs will be marked and if you leave it for a long time, when you remove it, it will leave holes with dead grass, disfiguring the whole set.

Where to buy?

buy lounge chairs

You already know what to look for (beyond the price and its beauty). But the next step you must take is to know where you are going to buy these sun lounger chairs.

Do not worry, we have analyzed some stores and this is what we think of them.

Amazon

This is where you will find a more extensive catalog. But also more prices and more time between one and the other (that is, they may take more or less time to send it to you).

Regarding prices, some may be too tall for what it is, especially since they do not differ in materials or types from other cheaper ones. So our recommendation is that, once you choose the one you like (or several), compare outside of Amazon in case it is cheaper.

Decathlon

In Decathlon there are not many sun lounger chairs, although they do have different models to choose from. Have both hanging and those that are placed on the ground, with which you can vary a little in terms of other more common models that you find.

Regarding the prices, some are somewhat expensive but you would have to see the material they are made of and the characteristics to know if it is worth it or not.

Leroy Merlin

At Leroy Merlin we have focused on deckchairs when doing the search because it is the closest thing to other stores. They do not have many models, but they are affordable As for the price of these.

Lidl

Finally, you have Lidl which, although it won't let you choose between many models, also has the problem that the deckchairs belong to temporary products in the store. That is, we cannot buy it when we want.

On the Internet you will have it easier, but not all models; only some allow you to buy online; others you will have to wait for them to arrive at the store to get them.

Have you already decided on your favorite lounge chairs?
