Keter

Another deckchair for garden that adapts to multiple uses is the model created by Keter. Its peculiarity is the beautiful wicker texture, which makes it elegant and with a neutral tone, and therefore able to adapt to any environment. Although the structure may seem not foldable, it will actually allow you to reduce the bulk when you want to put it aside, and you will be able to choose 4 settings with which to enjoy excellent relaxation. Furthermore, it is maintenance free, as its materials are resistant to atmospheric agents.

Kidkraft

If you are looking for a dedicated solution to the little ones, you will be happy to know that it exists and is made by Kidkraft. Unlike the other models, in this case it will not be possible to adjust it in different inclinations, but we believe that this lack is not important if we consider that it is intended exclusively for children. The overall quality, on the other hand, is excellent and the three-sided canopy and mesh window will allow your little ones to shelter from the sun. Included in the price, you will find 2 lined cushions and 2 glass holders, as well as assembly instructions, which will allow even the less experienced to assemble it in a few minutes.

Outsunny

We couldn't close the list of the best garden loungers without mentioning an Outsunny model, a leading brand in gardening equipment. This solution is undoubtedly the most desired, but it has a much higher cost than the other models. It is ideal for those who want to have, in addition to comfort, a deckchair that can make an aesthetic difference. The structure, in fact, boasts a first-class workmanship and includes a sun canopy resistant to sunlight and bad weather. Being double and supported by a high quality structure, the base can easily support 2 people. We are faced not with a simple garden deckchair, but with a piece of furniture that combines design with functionality.

How to choose the deckchair for garden

As you might imagine, the factors that determine whether a garden deckchair is good or not focus almost exclusively on comfort, so it's no surprise that the elements to consider are similar to those we reported in our recent dedicated guide to the best garden hammocks. However, there are some features that should not be missing if you want to get maximum comfort and they are the following:

Foldable structure

Since we are talking about garden chairs, check if a certain model has or does not have a foldable structure is important, since the latter will help you move it from one place to another quickly and easily, as well as having the advantage of taking up little space when you need to put it aside . Possibly, this structure should be made of materials such as steel or wood which, in addition to making the product resistant, absorb heat better than a plastic solution.

Tilt

Although any garden deckchair allows you to adjust the backrest, it is right to take into consideration the model that offers the greatest possibility of inclination, so as to easily find the most comfortable position for you. Furthermore, it would be preferable for the deckchair to have the possibility of adjusting the inclination also in the front part, giving you the opportunity to place your feet at different heights.

Armrests and more

Although they are not essential , the armrests have the potential to increase the comfort of a garden deckchair, especially in models whose shape tends to resemble a chair. This also applies to headrests and footrests, which should not be missing in the most expensive and refined solutions.

Maximum capacity

Finally, there is the weight that can support the structure. Knowing what the maximum load of a model is is essential, in order to avoid damaging the deckchair. In this regard, our advice is to take your weight into account and choose a model that supports a slightly higher weight, although the higher the better, of course. However, most models can safely carry over 100kg.
