A good garden lounger should be comfortable, weather resistant and easy to keep clean. Look for a lounger that you can lie on for hours<\/a> in the garden without any discomfort. That means it should have a soft surface and be adjustable to different position.<\/p>\n

In this buying guide, I recommend the best garden loungers you can order online in the UK. I also give you a few shopping tips on how to choose the best lounger for your garden.<\/p>\n

Features to Consider When Choosing a Garden Lounger<\/h2>\n

A. Construction<\/h3>\n

How a garden lounger is constructed is important for its durability and portability.<\/p>\n

I recommend getting a lightweight garden lounger that hold a lot of weight and withstand the elements.<\/p>\n

The best garden loungers have an aluminium or heavy-duty plastic frame. Aluminium and plastic are both light, making it easier to move the lounger around the garden or from the house to the garden.<\/p>\n

They are also weatherproof \u2013 they don\u2019t warp or rust in the sun and rain.<\/p>\n

Steel-frame loungers are also durable and have a high weight capacity, but they are heavy. Get a steel frame lounger if you plan on keeping it in one spot most of the time.<\/p>\n

Wooden loungers look great, but they are heavy and may not do as well outdoors as other materials. A wooden lounger is ideal for partially shaded areas like a gazebo or porch.<\/p>\n

B. Upholstery<\/h3>\n

Next, check whether the lounger is upholstered.<\/p>\n

A soft padded lounger will obviously be more comfortable as it\u2019s easier on your back and joints.<\/p>\n

Some loungers have a simple canvas top. It\u2019s not as comfortable as a padded lounger, but it\u2019s easier to clean.<\/p>\n

If you have back or joint problems, or if you are buying the lounger for a senior family member, get one with thick and soft padding.<\/p>\n

C. Adjustable<\/h3>\n

Do not buy a garden lounger that cannot be adjusted to multiple positions. When you are relaxing in the garden, you\u2019ll appreciate an adjustable lounger. You can go from sitting up to reclining to lying flat. This is handy for taking naps or reading a book.<\/p>\n

Most garden loungers have 4-6 backrest positions. Make sure the backrest has a secure locking mechanism so it doesn\u2019t move once you set it to a certain position.<\/p>\n

Something else to check is whether the lounger has a lay flat position. A lounger that goes completely flat is great for napping or lying on your stomach.<\/p>\n

D. Size<\/h3>\n

Check if you\u2019ll fit comfortably on the lounger. Tall people should get a lounger that\u2019s long enough to accommodate their tall backs or long legs.<\/p>\n

If you have a wide body figure, check that the lounger is wide enough.<\/p>\n

E. Ease of Cleaning<\/h3>\n

You are going to have trouble with dust, dirt and bird droppings on your lounger. So look for one that\u2019s easy to clean.<\/p>\n

Canvas top garden loungers are the easiest to maintain. You can even hose it down for a deep cleaning.<\/p>\n

If you buy an upholstered lounger, make sure it has a wipe-to-clean surface.<\/p>\n
