Product Information

We're big fans of the Ibiza Sun Lounger, which truly wouldn't look out of place poolside on the luxurious party island.

Sun loungers are made from ultra-strong, high density materials to ensure they're resistant to extreme weather (like heat, or wind on the beach). Many are also water resistant and designed to withstand chemicals from swimming pools (like chlorine), suncreams and oils.And they don't need to cost you an arm and a leg, either. There are loads on the market that offer superb comfort for less, and there are a few sales going on at the moment too. Yet another reliable retailer for all things home and garden, Dunelm's range of sun loungers isn't massive, but it is refined. Sun loungers come in a range of sizes, from compact, single-person chairs to large, double loungers. Measure the space where you plan to put the lounger to ensure it will fit comfortably and leave enough room for other furniture and activities. Also, consider the overall design of your outdoor space and choose a lounger that complements the style and aesthetic. Type of Material If you struggle with a sun lounger being too low, or just want some added flexibility, then a reclining chair or zero-gravity chair offers the best of both worlds; giving you the height to sit comfortably, and the option recline to a comfortable angle when you're ready for a snooze.

A current trend on social media is making garden furniture by using wooden pallets - and using three of them to make a sun lounger is a great way to up-cycle. When it comes to buying a lounger, you'll want to invest in one that suits your needs, budget and available space, so it pays to put in a bit of research and ask a few questions before you buy. Use two of the removed slats that you have left to support this head-rest section - simply cut them to fit plane with the inclination that you want and nail them to fix. These two boards will sustain your lounger from behind. For those looking for something a little more luxurious when it comes to lounging outside, it may well be worth investing in an upholstered option, or one that offers cushioning.A wooden sun lounger makes for a classic look, whether you invest in durable (yet expensive) teak wood or a faster growing and therefore more affordable option like acacia wood or eucalyptus. Just bear in mind there will be some maintenance needed to prolong wooden garden furniture's lifespan, so factor in topping up with a wood preservative about once a year. And again, wood can be heavy, so if you opt for a wooden sun lounger it can be best to source one with wheels for easier manoeuvrability. Make sure you compare the costs as it might be cheaper to buy a simple sun lounger and accessories (from parasols to foot stools) separately. We've rounded up some of the best well-priced sun loungers available to buy now from the best of the British high street.

The price is dependent on the quality and the materials used and also whether you get comfy cushions included. Yes, you can invest in one of the best garden parasols to cut out the sun whilst you're reclining outdoors, but having the option to shade your book as you read, or to combat the full sun on your face without hauling a patio umbrella around offers some great additional practicality.Next is weight. If you know you'll be following the sun, consider a sun lounger made from a lightweight material like plastic or aluminium, so you can move it around easily. If your sun lounger is likely to live in the same place day-in, day-out, you can opt for a heavier material like wood.

Next, think about the material of the sun lounger. Sun loungers are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Each material has its own pros and cons, so consider the look and feel you want to achieve, as well as the durability and maintenance requirements. Wooden sun loungers are classic and elegant, but they require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Metal sun loungers are sturdy and long-lasting, but they can get hot to the touch in the sun. Plastic sun loungers are lightweight and easy to move, but they may not be as durable as other materials. Ease of useA fabric seat will usually also have enough give in it to make it comfortable to lie on with just a towel rather than cushioned padding. Looking for a sturdy wooden sun lounger made to last? We've found a timeless design. Prefer a double sun lounger for sunbathing with your partner? There's something seriously cosy you'll love.
