Folding loungers

When the good weather arrives there are few things more appetizing than lying down to relax while enjoying the sun and a gentle breeze. Do you already have your lounger ready for beach days, or do you need some ideas?

Why buy a folding beach lounger

Even the finest and warmest sandy beach ends up being uncomfortable for our back, not to mention the sand that is going to get everywhere. Let’s not say if it is a rock or gravel cove, where hopefully there will be a smooth rock or concrete surface to hang the towel on. It’s not the most comfortable, is it?

With a good lounger we can make sure that the time we are lying in the sun is comfortable and relaxing

We will also avoid having to lie on a wet towel full of sand. And by the way, we can use the lounger to store our food and drink under its shade.

But before choosing which folding lounger we are going to buy we must take into account several things.

Materials

The type of material and its quality, both of the structure and the seat, will affect the durability of our folding lounger, or its weight (important to carry it to the beach) and the comfort it provides us.

The most common material for the frame is aluminum

Light and strong enough, although it will be necessary to check that they are not too thin tubes.

Steel offers greater resistance

But in return it is usually heavier.

Finally we have the option of wood

Where there are a large number of types and thicknesses. We will have to opt for those more resistant woods that have received a treatment with protective varnishes.

Typical materials for the seat and back are canvas, polyester or synthetic fibers

Ideally, they should be waterproof fabrics and allow ventilation.

Dimensions

For a lounger, the ideal is that we can fully stretch on it

But that makes them bigger, heavier, and harder to transport than beach chairs. Some slightly smaller ones allow us to recline in a comfortable position leaving our feet on the sand.

We must also take into account the height above the ground

For a person with mobility problems a very low chair will be a problem when sitting down and getting up.

We will also have to assess whether we want a sun visor or not

This will add some weight to the lounger but will provide us with additional comfort as we can do without caps or hats.

Tips for choosing your ideal folding lounger

The best folding lounger will be the one that best suits our body and the place where we are going to use it

If the beaches we usually go to have nearby parking, the weight will not be a problem. We can opt for a larger lounger, with a sun visor, and with a more resistant structure. If we have to walk a lot we will have to consider the weight. In any case, we must pay attention to whether it has handles to facilitate its transport.

If, in addition to lying down to sunbathe and rest, we are going to want to just be sitting eating or enjoying the views we must ensure that it has multiple positions and that they are easy and safe to change.

A low lounger will be more practical for children

The same if we do not have problems sitting down and getting up, and thus we can opt for a slightly smaller and lighter lounger. If a person with mobility problems is going to use it, it will be more convenient to have a higher height above the ground.
