If you are in the market for a sun lounger, but can\u2019t decide between a recliner and a plastic sun bed, are struggling with which material and style are best for you, or just want some simple guidance on what is available before you decide what you want, you\u2019ve found the right place for help.TL;DR<\/strong> – here are the quick 5 tips you need:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Choose a style you like, but make sure it is collapsible for easier storage.<\/li>\n
  2. If your chair is heavier, or doesn\u2019t fold up, make sure it has wheels for ease of movement.<\/li>\n
  3. Choose materials that best suit the level of maintenance you are willing to provide. Easier is often the best way to go.<\/li>\n
  4. Match your sun lounger style to your existing outdoor furniture, or to your dream set if you are planning to replace the old ones within a year or two.<\/li>\n
  5. Use cushions to increase comfort and to give you a quick and easy way to change styles when desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sun Loungers Can Transform Your Garden<\/h2>\n

    It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re in a northern country, you can still get the exotic feel of a tropical getaway with a teak recliner. Want something more chic and modern or with minimum maintenance? Try an aluminium version.
    \nNo longer are gardens considered semi-wasted space on the backs of houses; they are now more like rooms in themselves! These outdoor spaces can be made as unique and comfortable as the rooms of your home with a few carefully-chosen pieces.
    \nA key part of this furniture is the recliner. Just after the patio dining set on people\u2019s wish list \u2013 sometimes even in the number one spot \u2013 these items provide a place that is set aside for relaxation, conversation, reading, or just sitting still and letting go of the weight of the day.<\/p>\n

    Common Mis-conceptions with Sun Loungers<\/h2>\n

    Sun Loungers vs Recliners<\/h3>\n

    The difference here is usually just in the name. Some manufacturers use the one term, and others choose the other one, but the form and function of the item is the same.<\/p>\n

    Sun Beds vs Deck Chairs<\/h3>\n

    Sun beds have the option to sit upright, or lie back with one\u2019s legs extended and both legs and head supported. Deckchairs are usually only configurable to have your legs extended, though many have adjustable heights\/angles for the backrest. Think \u2018poolside deckchair\u2019 from your last holiday and you\u2019ll get the idea.Our luxurious range of garden loungers will be perfect for your patio.

    Types of Sun Loungers<\/h2>\n

    The most important consideration when deciding on the type of patio furniture you want is how you plan to use it. A fully-reclined position is best for relaxing or sunbathing, while semi-reclined is best for having a comfortable conversation, reading, and that kind of thing.<\/p>\n

    Fixed or Folding<\/h3>\n

    Folding chairs have a couple of great benefits. First, they can fold up to take less space on your patio when not in use. Second, the ability to fold makes them more portable. It\u2019s always easier to move around a folding piece of furniture than one that doesn\u2019t fold, wheels or not.<\/p>\n

    Fully Flat Sunbeds<\/h3>\n

    Sunbeds that are flat, or adjust to a flat position, are great for tanning on your stomach, or setting your book on the patio and reading it facing downwards. These are popular models (especially the adjustable ones) and are available in all materials.<\/p>\n

    S-Shaped Loungers<\/h3>\n

    S-shaped sun loungers are designed to follow the curves of your body, and often give better support for those with lower back problems. The usual materials for these chairs are aluminium and textilene.<\/p>\n

    Multi-Position Recliners<\/h3>\n

    These chairs are very versatile, allowing for everything from an upright sitting position to a deep recline \u2013 though they do not usually go completely flat. They often come with wide armrests and other options to increase comfort.Sometimes it’s more practical to have a reclining garden chair than a sun lounger, as it can be used for multiple different things.

    Sun Lounger Materials<\/h2>\n

    Once you know the shape and style of sun lounger that suits your tastes and needs, it is time to decide on the material it is made of. Things to consider here include your budget of course, but don\u2019t forget to take in the cost and time of maintenance. Some of the more expensive materials to require more maintenance too. Simple is often the best way to go when it comes to relaxing outdoors.<\/p>\n

    Resin<\/h3>\n

    Many prefer the appearance of resin-made furniture because it can produce more modern styles than PVC \u2013 and can mimic rattan. Check when buying whether it is moulded or woven. Moulded is cheaper, but woven will have a more realistic effect. As with PVC, don\u2019t forget ample cushions.<\/p>\n

    Aluminium<\/h3>\n

    Aluminium is often used for the frame of sin loungers because it is light, looks good, and does not rust. It is an excellent choice for sun lounger frames of a variety of styles.<\/p>\n

    PVC<\/h3>\n

    PVC is durable, requires almost no maintenance, and is usually a good price. The material will soak up a lot of heat from the sun though, so be sure you have a cushion that provides full coverage for those hot days of summer!<\/p>\n

    Wooden<\/h3>\n

    Wood sun loungers look great, whether they are made from teak, pine, acacia or other woods. They do, however, require regular maintenance to keep them looking good over more than one or two seasons.<\/p>\n

    What are the seating areas made from?<\/h3>\n

    Textilene is the most common material for making the fabric portion of sun loungers that are frames with aluminium or other stiff products. It is flexible, holds up well to weather, and can come in many colours. It is made by weaving PVC fibres.<\/p>\n

    Accessories for Sun Loungers<\/h2>\n

    Mattresses and Cushions<\/h3>\n

    Mattresses and cushions turn almost any chair into a fashion statement, a nest of comfort, and a great place to relax in style. It\u2019s best to choose cushions with removable covers so that they can be properly cleaned, and to store them somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight when not in use.<\/p>\n

    Sunshades\/Parasols<\/h3>\n

    If you want to extend the life of your outdoor furniture, a recliner cover protects it from sun and rain, and can even protect cushions from sun damage when used in the summer too.<\/p>\n

    Covers<\/h3>\n

    Sunshades are also a great feature to add to your chair purchase. They will keep the sun off of you when you want a retreat in the shade, or can keep cold drinks and books from direct heat and glare.Modular rattan is where each part of a piece can be moved independently, providing a wonderfully flexible outdoor seating arrangement.
