Sun loungers

What to pay attention to when choosing a sun lounger?

Hot and sunny summer days are unimaginable without proper relaxation and sunbathing, and sun loungers are perfect for these activities. Find out how to find the sun lounger that suits you best!

Material

Sun loungers can be made from a variety of materials, each with its own advantages. The most common ones are:

• Wood - these loungers stand out with their elegant look, which is always in fashion. One of the biggest advantages of wood is that it does not conduct heat well, so you don't have to worry about uncomfortable sensations when touching a sun lounger heated by direct sunlight on the hottest summer days. Wooden sun loungers are also quite heavy, so they won't be easily knocked over by strong winds. However, to ensure that a wooden lounger, which is regularly used outdoors, lasts longer, it needs regular care, such as polishing and oiling once a year (precise maintenance instructions are usually found in the product specifications);
• Plastic and plastic mesh - the biggest advantage of these loungers is their easy maintenance and lightweight, which is important if you plan to move the lounger regularly. Rain will not harm sun loungers made of plastic;
• Aluminum - some sun loungers have aluminum frames, and this material, like plastic, is known for its lightweight;
• Steel - steel frame loungers have the highest durability and they look very elegant and sturdy. Due to their relatively large weight, these loungers can be safely left outside even on windy days;
• Textile - like wood, textile heats up very minimally in the sun, and these types of loungers are known for their lightweight (except when the fabric is attached to a steel or wooden frame).

Each of these materials has its own advantages, but to ensure that sun loungers last as long as possible and maintain their properties over time, it is important to take proper care of them.

Adjustable backrest

If you want to use a sun lounger not only for sunbathing but also for other activities such as reading a book or enjoying a drink, a more suitable model would be one with an adjustable backrest. Advanced sun loungers also have an adjustable leg section.

Foldable option

Those who want to take sun loungers with them to the beach or elsewhere will especially appreciate this option - it is not only convenient to carry, but also to transport in a car. You will also experience the benefits of foldable loungers if you buy multiple loungers at the same time, as it will be easier to find storage space for them during the winter months.

Cushioning

If you want your sun lounger to be as comfortable as possible, it needs cushioning. However, since sun loungers are used outdoors, it is worth buying a lounger with weather-resistant cushioning, which can withstand rain and UV radiation. If you plan to use sun loungers near water, a lounger with removable cushioning would be a more suitable option - otherwise, it will regularly get wet and may develop stains.

Additional options

Sun loungers can be equipped with various additional elements that make them more practical and comfortable:

• Armrests - you can rest your arms on them during sunbathing and relaxation, and it is also easier to get up from such a lounger;
• Wheels - a lounger with wheels is much easier to move around;
• Stacking option - if you plan to buy multiple sun loungers, this option allows you to stack them on top of each other, saving a significant amount of space.

Some loungers also come with additional cushions for added comfort, as well as a small table or other accessories.
