Features, pros and cons

A folding chaise longue, as a rule, consists of several folding frames, which are covered with fabric, connected to each other. Thanks to their design, folding sun loungers have many advantages, among which the following can be noted:

  • a light weight;
  • easy and convenient to transport or carry;
  • quick unfolding;
  • the ability to adjust the structure - the chair turns into a lounger, as well as a half-chair, and so on;
  • a large selection of models and materials of manufacture;
  • the ability to use as part of garden design.

There are also several downsides.

  • Flimsy construction. If you use it too often, the chaise longue can loosen.
  • Regulatory assemblies that quickly deteriorate.
  • Most of the models sold are overpriced. In addition, sometimes it is very difficult to find a really high-quality item.

Often, especially on domestic territory, sun loungers are purchased for summer cottages, outdoor recreation, and much less often for spending time on the coast. For the first case, there are many bright wood models. Garden sun loungers are also not uncommon.

In this regard, forged models and rattan structures have proven themselves best of all.

Varieties

It is obvious, and especially in our time, that the design of a chaise longue itself provides a large scope for the embodiment of design fantasies, both in terms of little things and the design as a whole. Among the common models are a transforming chaise longue, a folding chaise longue, a chaise longue bed, a chaise longue, a chaise longue chair and others. Effective and convenient options include a chaise longue chair on which you can swing, various models on wheels, as well as structures equipped with additional electronic control functions (for example, vibrating).

It is rare to find a full-fledged structure of a hanging hammock with poles. This fold-out chaise longue can be an unusual solution, but it takes a lot of skill to install. You can make the sun lounger even more comfortable for relaxing with the help of additional elements. Most often these are armrests, pillows, mattresses, various supports, linings, visors with special mounts from the sun's rays, wheels. There are even models with a separate headrest and storage compartment.

Materials (edit)

According to the material for making the frame, all folding sun loungers can be divided into types.

  • Wooden models. These sun loungers are classics. As you know, it is best to give preference to natural materials. The frame can be made of both natural and artificial wood. It can be oak, beech, maple, cedar, Scandinavian pine. Separately, it is worth noting furniture made of natural liana, however, it sags noticeably over time.

Rattan sun loungers or wicker models (made of artificial material) can be a little whimsical to care for, but are more durable.

  • Metal models. It has been noticed that these sun loungers are not the most popular. Such models are distinguished by their durability, resistance, high strength. An aluminum chaise longue can be lightweight, which is not the case with most other metals. Some of the models may not be portable at all. However, it is worth noting the fact that such models have a very attractive appearance, especially forged ones. Most often they are part of the design. The most popular in this category are metal models covered in fabric, leather or even woven rattan.
  • Plastic constructions. Such sun loungers are the most bought - they are inexpensive, relatively durable, tolerate any weather conditions well, and are lightweight. In addition to the fairly well-known white beach loungers, which mostly represent this category, now you can find many other interesting options in different colors. As a rule, this light chaise longue becomes a favorite resting place in the country.

Office models have a more collected, austere and laconic design. For indoor home use, you can opt for a bright, simple chaise lounge with a mattress. For larger families, consider a large sun lounger that can comfortably accommodate more than two people.

An interesting fact - there are also kits with sun loungers for children on sale, which sometimes go as an addition to the usual model. This can be especially useful for mothers with children under 1 year old.

An important aspect is the care of the acquisition. In rare cases, these designs require additional treatment with a water-repellent aerosol.
