Sun lounger towel with pockets

Updated: 22 October 2026

You want a sun lounger towel with pockets that covers about 210 cm, stays on with a hood, dries before dinner, and weighs little enough for a case. You do not want the listing at about £9.99 that is a tall weather hood for a wicker chair. Which named towel leads this comparison is on the [best beach chair cover](/hub/garden-furniture/beach-chair-cover/sub/beach-chair-cover-best) page, and the ten rows with prices are the [beach chair cover comparison](/hub/garden-furniture/beach-chair-cover). Peter F. read the amazon.co.uk extracts. There is no lab test, and no promise of a sand-free cloth. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

What a holiday lounger towel has to cover

The towels kept here are stated around 210–215 cm long and 73–75 cm wide, where the listing gives a figure. LIKEUDO's bullets say 210 × 75 cm. Several Morbuy bullets say about 215 × 75 cm. YFNVH says 210 × 73 cm for each towel in the pair. A top pocket or hood uses some of that length over the backrest, and the rest still has to reach your feet. A 160 cm beach towel can hook over the head and then stop at your knees. Width around 75 cm suits a single bed. A double daybed needs a different cut, and none of these listings claims one. How the hood goes on is the fit and wash page.

Weight, dry time and the suitcase

The single Morbuy towels weigh about 390–420 g. LIKEUDO is 630 g. The YFNVH pair is 990 g for two. LIKEUDO's extra weight is the trade for a heavier cloth and for 4.5 from 141 UK reviews, against Morbuy pools that call their cloth thin. Reviews say these microfibre covers dry in the sun between swims, faster than the reviewer's other towels. There is no minute count in the extract, so this page will not invent one. The same reviews call the cloth a sheet, not absorbent enough to be the only towel after a swim. Pack it as the layer on the bed and keep a cotton towel for drying yourself. LIKEUDO's care line is a cold gentle wash or a hand wash, then line dry. One Morbuy listing allows 40°C and a dryer. Another says hand wash only.

Pockets, dye and thin cloth

Reviews mention a phone, earphones, sun cream, a book and glasses in the pockets. YFNVH states a pocket on both sides at 28 cm, plus a top pocket. In the shared Morbuy block of 4.4 from 377, one pool across three listings, reviewers report dye that marked clothing and the lounger, a hole on arrival, and a tear on the first day. A blue comment in the 126-review pool says the colour faded after one use. On LIKEUDO, pocket stitching tore off after a week away. Do not fill that pocket with a heavy bottle on day one. A shiny, sheet-like hand is what several Morbuy reviewers say they received.

Listings that match, and the one that does not

Seven of the ten listings are sitting towels. Use them on a sunbed. Do not leave them over a cushion for a British week of rain. OFFCUP at about £9.99 is a 210D hood, 120 × 90 × 160/140 cm, for a roofed wicker chair, with German reviews in the file. PATIO PLUS at about £18.99 and LCGOD at about £31.99 for two are oxford sleeves. They have no side pocket for sun cream. The £9.99 price is how that hood wins a sort when you only glance at beach chair cover. The order of decisions, including the shared Morbuy review count, is the buying guide.

Common questions

What length covers a hotel sunbed including my feet?
Look for about 210–215 cm of cloth, with a hood that uses some of that length over the backrest. The towels in this set state 210 × 75 cm, about 215 × 75 cm, or 210 × 73 cm. Measure the hire bed if you can. A cloth near 160–200 cm often covers either the hook or your feet, not both, on a full-length plastic sunbed.
Will a hood pocket replace pegs?
On these towels, the top pocket is the main hold, and several reviewers say they did not need pegs. YFNVH's two saved reviews include that claim. LIKEUDO's elastic still missed some beds, and that reviewer added ties. A hood replaces pegs when the pocket fits the backrest. It does not replace them on a bed with no backrest to hook.
Are the pockets big enough for a phone and sun cream?
Reviews on the Morbuy and LIKEUDO towels say yes for a phone, headphones, glasses, a book and sun cream. YFNVH states side pockets of 28 cm. That is a listing figure, not a measurement repeated here. A large glass bottle is a different load, and LIKEUDO's pocket stitching failed after a week in one review, so a heavy bottle is the harsh test.
Will microfibre dry between swims?
Reviewers say it dried in the sun faster than their other towels, and one compared it favourably with terry. There is no minute figure in the extracts, so do not pack on the assumption of a ten-minute dry. It is a better bet than a soaked cotton bath sheet in a suitcase. It is still a poor only-towel after a swim, because the same people call it thin.
Which cheap listing is a rain cover, not a towel?
OFFCUP at about £9.99. The size is a tall hood, about 160 cm high at the front, and the rank is Roofed Wicker Beach Chairs Covers. PATIO PLUS and LCGOD are also weather sleeves, at higher prices. The cheap towel in this set is the striped Morbuy at about £11.99, which says hand wash only and is not water resistant. Price order alone will not keep those two apart.
