What is a sun lounger?
A sun lounger bed is a long lounge chair designed for an outdoor area such as a garden, balcony, or poolside. 🏊
These reclining chairs are great for those that like to spend time outside sunbathing, relaxing, reading, or even having the occasional nap.
They are usually adjustable for sitting or lying down with cushions that support the head. 🤗
What are sun loungers made of?
Sun loungers can be made from a variety of materials. 🙌
The most popular sun lounger materials include:
- Rattan sun loungers
- Plastic sun loungers
- Teak sun loungers
- Aluminium sun loungers
- Wicker sun loungers
- Hardwood sun lounger
Rattan sun loungers are one of the most popular because of their hardwearing durability against most weather conditions. ⛈️
Acacia wood sun loungers help maintain a natural look in your garden space, but they don’t always accommodate heavier body weights.
The Argos Home Wooden Sun Lounger is sleek and stylish:
Alternatively, aluminium or other metal sun loungers are great for multiple reclining positions.
The best folding sun lounger UK can be easily adjusted and stored away when not in use.
How do I choose a sun lounger?
There are different factors to consider when choosing a sun lounger. 🤔
The kind of sun lounger you need depends on how the sun lounger will be used.
Firstly, we advise you to choose a sun lounger that:
- Is resistant to weather conditions
- Is somewhat adjustable to suit your preferred sitting/lying position
- Is foldable, or the cushions can be removed when not in use (to prevent damage during winter)
You should also consider your own personal criteria.
If you are of a heavier build, ensure the sun lounger doesn’t have a maximum weight limit. ⚖️
If you are looking for a low-maintenance sun lounger, you may want to avoid natural materials, which can build mildew if left untreated.
Some sun loungers also come in a fixed position to be left outside year-round, whilst others can be folded away.
Consider your space and whether the sun lounger suits your lifestyle. ✅
For example, the best sun loungers for lying on your front will be in a fixed flat position.
However, those that like to lie down and sit up occasionally should opt for an adjustable reclining sun lounger.
Which sun lounger is best?
We think the Argos Home Zero Gravity Metal sun lounger is one of the best loungers in the UK market right now. 💕
This sunbed is excellent value for money and highly versatile.
The Argos Home Zero Gravity Metal sun lounger can be used as a seat and easily adjusted to a lying-down position by simply pressing your feet onto the bottom bar.
We also love the feeling of weightlessness you experience on this anti-gravity sun lounger. 🎈

Why should you buy a sun lounger?
Excellent seating space shouldn’t just be for the inside.
If you spend a lot of time in your garden or on your balcony, a sun lounger or other outdoor seating is a worthy investment. ✔️
We love sun loungers because they support the body in a reclined position, whilst elevating the legs to reduce pressure on the feet.
They’re also highly durable for long-term relaxation, unlike cheap garden chairs.
A raised sunbed also keeps you away from the creepy crawlies on the ground. 🐛
A sun lounger allows you to relax in the garden for longer periods as they encourage prolonged comfort and support.
If you have some extra spending money during the summertime and like to relax outside, we highly recommend a sun lounger. 👌

What are the drawbacks of sun loungers?
A sun lounger isn’t for everyone, and there are some disadvantages you should consider before making a purchase. 👀
Sun loungers are relatively large, so they may not be suitable for small balconies.
Instead, other garden chairs such as a deck chair, hanging chair, or egg chair might be a better choice - although you can’t lay down on these.
Sun loungers may also rust or experience weather damage over time. ⛈️
Even if a sun lounger is advertised as weatherproof, we recommend storing the cushions inside and covering the lounger to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
Are sun loungers bad for your back?
Some people may experience injuries [1] from sun loungers from prolonged use.
This is typically caused by lying on your stomach and curving your back, which puts pressure on the spine. 😣
To avoid lower back pain, invest in an adjustable reclining sun lounger that provides ample support for the back and spine.
Chiropractors [2] recommend lying on a sun lounger on your back with your knees bent to reduce this pressure. 🥰
You should also avoid staying in the same position for extended periods when using a sun lounger.
Instead, move position every 10 or 20 minutes and take breaks to walk around to get the blood flowing.
Sun loungers with multiple reclining positions are a great way to prevent chronic pain.
Massage guns can also be useful for anybody experiencing frequent back pain.

Sun lounger sizes
Sun lounger sizes vary depending on the type of sun lounger you buy. 🤔
Most sun loungers are 100 - 200 cm long, around the same length as a single mattress (190 cm).
Sun loungers are typically between 60 - 70 cm wide, which is reasonably narrower than a single mattress (90 cm).
Before purchasing any outdoor furniture, always check the size you need for your garden or balcony space.
Some sun loungers can also be folded down and stored away when not used. 📦

Cheap sun loungers UK will be lower in quality but can still be reasonably comfortable.

Frequently asked questions
-
Do zero gravity chairs recline all the way?
Zero gravity chairs recline in a laying position.
However, they do not lay completely flat, and your legs will be slightly bent.
They typically recline around 160 degrees and are unsuitable for laying on your stomach.
-
Can you sleep on a sun lounger?
Whether or not you can sleep on a sun lounger depends on your comfort levels.
We don’t see any harm in taking the occasional nap on your sun lounger, but it shouldn’t be a permanent sleeping arrangement.
If you are sleeping on a sun lounger outside, we also recommend having a sun shade or parasol to prevent getting sunburnt.
For budget-friendly sleeping options, look at our article on the best value for money mattresses.

How to store sun loungers in winter
Outdoor living isn't always glamorous, and your furniture is at risk of rust, mildew, and damage from outside critters when not taken care of properly.
Firstly, you should ensure your sun lounger is dry before storing it away for winter.
Scrub your wood or rattan sun loungers with warm soapy water and leave them to dry before storing them to prevent mildew from building up.
We also recommend checking the steel frame of your metal sun lounger for rust spots and treating this with white vinegar or rust removal products before storing.
In winter, you can store your sun lounger in a shed, garage, or home.
Ensure they are stored away in a clean, dry space that protects them from the weather.
Sun lounger cushions should be stored in the home to prevent the risk of mice and rats eating the fabric.
