A sun lounger is a type of garden furniture that is specially designed for relaxing and sunbathing outdoors. Typically, a sun lounger consists of an elongated frame, often made of wood, metal or plastic, and a reclining surface covered with comfortable upholstery or a weatherproof material such as textilene. The backrest of a sun lounger is adjustable to allow different reclining positions and some models have extendable footrests for added comfort. Sun loungers are available in different styles and sizes and are perfect for use in the garden, on the terrace or by the pool to enjoy the sun and relax.
A sun lounger can be used in a variety of outdoor locations to provide comfort and relaxation. Here are some suggestions on where to best place a sun lounger:
