Two products, one search
A beach chair cover in this search is either a microfibre towel you sit on, or a polyester weather sleeve you leave over furniture. The towel listings carry the water line not water resistant, and Amazon files them under Beach Towels. The sleeves say waterproof and sit under garden-cover ranks. LIKEUDO is the awkward middle: the specification says water resistant, the rank is still Beach Towels, and the reviews use it on holiday sunbeds. That line does not move it into the sleeve group. If you will lie on the cloth this summer, stay with the towel and read the holiday lounger page. If the lounger will stand empty in the rain, the soaked-cushion limit is on the towel or weather cover page.
Three shapes and a tape measure
Three shapes turn up under the same words. A sitting towel here is about 210–215 cm by 73–75 cm. A flat-lounger sleeve is about 200–220 cm long and 75–80 cm wide, with a height of roughly 35–70 cm. OFFCUP states 120 cm wide, 90 cm deep, 160 cm at the front and 140 cm at the back. That hood will not cover a 200 cm lounger, and a lounger sleeve will not sit over a hooded chair. Measure the furniture you own, not the photo. Read the size on the listing you are paying for. One Morbuy towel prints about 215 × 75 cm in the bullets and 72.9 × 75 × 215 cm on the item line. The duck-egg Morbuy has no item-dimensions line, and its material line says Plastic while the fabric line says Microfiber. You cannot treat a sibling listing's size as yours.
Fixing, denier and the water line
A towel stays on with a top pocket or hood, then elastic at the foot. A sleeve stays on with a drawstring, and sometimes buckles or zips. PATIO PLUS uses a drawstring and eyelets. LCGOD adds leg buckles. OFFCUP uses two front zips and a bottom cord. If the cord is too short to reach the leg, the cover can still lift in wind. Denier is the yarn weight, not a rain rating. PATIO PLUS is 420D, LCGOD is 600D and OFFCUP is 210D. All three say waterproof, and none prints a millimetre hydrostatic head. The striped Morbuy at about £11.99 says hand wash only. The blue Morbuy at about £17.99 says machine wash. PATIO PLUS says wipe clean. The hood and the care line for each listing are on the fit and wash page.
What to ignore in the stars
Three Morbuy listings each show 4.4 from 377 with the same saved text, so that is one family pool. Two others share 4.3 from 126. LCGOD's 4.1 from 1,128 includes garden bench covers in a different size. OFFCUP's 4.2 from 56 sits on German texts about a Strandkorb. YFNVH's 5.0 from five ratings has two saved UK sentences and three missing texts. A thin or mixed sample should not outrank 4.5 from 141 UK reviews about a towel. If the description is wrong when it arrives, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 treats the description as part of satisfactory quality.
Common questions
Is a beach chair cover a towel or a rain cover?
It is whichever object the listing actually is. In this comparison, microfibre rows with a Beach Towels rank are cloths you lie on, and most of them say not water resistant. Polyester rows that say waterproof are sleeves for an empty lounger or, in OFFCUP's case, a roofed wicker chair. LIKEUDO says water resistant and remains a towel, because the rank and the reviews are about sunbeds. Match the job before you compare the star line.
What length fits a single sun lounger?
A towel in this set is stated around 210–215 cm long and 73–75 cm wide. A flat-lounger sleeve here is 200 × 75 cm or 220 × 80 cm. Measure your bed from the top of the backrest to the foot, including any raised end, and compare that number with the size on the same listing. A 160 cm beach towel will not both hook over the headrest and cover your feet.
How do I measure a roofed wicker beach chair?
Take width, depth, front height and back height. OFFCUP states 120 cm wide, 90 cm deep, 160 cm at the front and 140 cm at the back, and its Amazon rank is Roofed Wicker Beach Chairs Covers. If your chair is much wider or taller, that hood is the wrong cut even though the title says beach chair cover. A 200 cm lounger sleeve is a different shape and will not replace it.
Does 600D mean waterproof?
No. Denier describes the fabric weight. LCGOD's 600D listing says waterproof, and so do the 420D and 210D sleeves here, without a millimetre rating on any of them. Reviews on the 600D pair include both dry cushions after rain and soaked cushions. Use 600D as a cloth description, then read the water line and the comments about rain as two separate facts.
When is £9.99 the wrong bargain?
OFFCUP at about £9.99 is a tall 210D hood for a roofed wicker chair, with German review texts in the extract and no UK write-ups saved. It is the wrong bargain when you wanted a suitcase towel, a flat lounger sleeve, or a thick cover for a British winter. The lowest towel price in this set is about £11.99, on a Morbuy that says hand wash only and shares a thin-cloth review block.
