Garden Centre Shopping rattan reclining sofa sets are weatherproof and aluminium-framed, built to leave outside all year (no cover required). Family-run from our Leicestershire showroom since 2001, with cushions, delivery, and a 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee included on every set.
Our reclining sofa sets are for the afternoon you've cleared out for yourself. Book in your lap, drink within reach, nothing else on the agenda. You can sit upright when you want to and lean fully back when you stop pretending to do anything.
Garden Centre Shopping has been selling weatherproof rattan garden furniture since 2001, and we recommend our reclining sofa sets if you want a set you can properly stretch out on, not just sit upright in. We have two-seater sets for smaller patios and full six-seater sets with adjustable tables that lift from coffee height to dining. Every set is built from UV-stabilised HDPE rattan over a powder-coated aluminium frame that cannot rust, with cushions and delivery included.
Garden Centre Shopping Reclining Sofa Sets. Lounge All Afternoon, Leave Out All Year.
Garden Centre Shopping reclining sofa sets are what we recommend if your patio's been hosting a tired bistro set you can't actually relax on. We've watched hundreds of customers come back to upgrade from upright bistro chairs they realised they were only ever using for the first cup of coffee. Our sets have proper sofa width and the reclining backs, so you can spend an afternoon out there instead of perching for fifteen minutes and going back inside.
- Strong Aluminium Frame That Cannot Rust: Our frames are made from strong aluminium that cannot rust. We use a 0.2mm powder coating, 2.5 to 3 times thicker than the 0.06-0.08mm coating most aluminium frames get, so the metal stays sealed through every frost cycle. No rust bleeding into your patio next spring. Backed by our 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee.
- HDPE Rattan That Won't Go Brittle: Every sofa and chair in this range uses UV-stabilised HDPE rattan, not PVC. We've watched the same hand-woven sets weather 15 years and still look right at the end of it. We've watched PVC rattan at cheaper price points fade visibly over a couple of summers in direct sun and then start snapping at the weave joints when someone leans hard against a chair back. Ours won't fade, won't rot, won't crack.
- Recline That Locks In Place: Each chair back reclines and locks at the angle you set, using a side-handle on the chair arm. We've watched cheap push-back recliners drift forward whenever someone shifts their weight, leaving them half-reclining for the whole afternoon with the chair giving way under them. We chose locking recline because nobody wants to keep nudging themselves back into position with their elbows.
- Thick Cushions With Washable Covers: We use 10cm cushion depth across the range, thicker than the 6-8cm in cheaper sets, so you can spend a proper afternoon on them. We've watched those thinner cushions compress within about half an hour of sitting, leaving you feeling the chair frame underneath. We chose breathable fabric covers because waterproof cushions feel clammy and crack under UV after a couple of summers (we hate waterproof cushions). Our covers are fully removable and machine-washable; we advise bringing them in when you're not using them.
- Leave Outside All Year, No Cover Needed: Our sets stay outside all year round with no cover needed. Our aluminium frame cannot rust and our HDPE rattan doesn't fade or crack, so the set stays where you left it from October to March without needing a cover wrestled on it. We advise bringing the cushions in when you're not using them, and that's the whole maintenance routine.
Garden Centre Shopping Reclining Lounge Sets. Two-Seaters For Small Patios, Six-Seaters For Whole-Family Lunch.
We have two-seater sets with reclining chairs and matching footstools for smaller patios, and full six-seater lounge sets with proper sofas plus an adjustable table that lifts from coffee height to dining. Our weaves come in brown, dark grey, grey, natural, or stone grey, depending on what's already going on in your garden.
- Burbage Reclining Rattan Sofa Set + Adjustable Table in Stone Grey - We recommend this one if you want a sofa AND an outdoor dining set on the same patio. Both armchairs and our 2-seater sofa recline independently, and the table lifts from 45cm coffee height to 70cm dining height when lunch moves outside. Each ottoman works as a footstool while you lounge, or as extra perch seating when there's an extra person round. Our stone grey suits modern paving and rendered walls.
- Sapcote Deluxe Reclining Lounge Set + Height Adjustable Table in Brown Rattan - Our largest lounge set seats six properly on around 3.6m by 3.2m of patio. We include a 3-seater reclining sofa, two reclining armchairs, two stools, and a height-adjustable table that lifts from afternoon coffee height to family dinner. Our brown rattan suits brick walls, timber fencing, and established planting where stone grey would look cooler than its surroundings.
- Sapcote Reclining Set in Brown Rattan - For when your patio is the size of a patio and not a tennis court. Our set has two reclining chairs and two matching footstools around a small glass-top coffee table. You can pull the footstools under your legs to stretch out, or use them as an extra perch when someone joins you. Our set takes up around 2.5m by 2.5m of patio. Our brown rattan suits warmer brick walls and timber fencing.
- Sapcote Reclining Set in Natural Rattan - Our same two-seater build in natural rattan, the warm honey colour that suits older brickwork and gardens that have grown in over time. Our set has two reclining chairs, two footstools, and a glass-top coffee table, on the same 2.5m by 2.5m footprint. We'd recommend natural over brown if your planting is the focal point and you want the furniture to settle into it rather than stand against it.
- Sapcote Reclining Set in Dark Grey Rattan - The same two-seater build in dark grey, our coolest colour. Our dark grey suits modern paving, dark fencing, and patios where the planting is restrained rather than abundant. Our set has two reclining chairs with footstools and a glass-top coffee table, on the same 2.5m by 2.5m footprint.
If you want just the reclining chairs without the sofa, that is our separate Reclining Chairs range. If you want reclining at the dining table itself, that is our Reclining Dining Sets range.

Our reclining sofa sets do this: book in your lap, drink within reach, chair back wherever you've found comfortable. They stay outside through every British winter, no cover needed. Our rattan looks the same in March, after a wet winter, as it did when you left it in October.
