Lie-flat garden bed
You want a bed near 180–200 cm that you can carry and store. Lichfield is that listing in this set: 4.5 kg, aluminium, and a bullet that includes a flat position. It does not state a user load.
Sun lounger comparison 2026
The best sun loungers, compared.
Top pick: Straame zero-gravity pair Best value: Mosii zero-gravity pair – Two textilene gravity chairs at £49.99, 4.5 from 513, with a stated 150 kg. The reason is two chairs at that shelf price, not a divided per-chair price. Updated October 2026.
One listing is a wheeled patio lounger instead. Which? says it has not tested sun loungers, and it describes zero-gravity seats as closer to recliners than to sunbeds because they tip back and lift the legs. You are checking a lock that UK reviews do not describe as collapsing, a stated load you can read, a surface that matches the weather, and a weight you can carry. The [difference between a sun lounger and a zero-gravity chair](/hub/sun-loungers/sun-lounger/sub/sun-lounger-vs-zero-gravity) is the first split. Fold-flat beds here are about 178–200 cm long. A 150 kg or 200 kg bullet is not an EN 581-2 report. A cushion sold on its own does not. A sun lounger in this file is a garden seat you recline on. Shoppers in this scrape are choosing a lie-flat garden bed, a pair of textilene gravity chairs, or a wheeled patio lounger. The shelf here is one cheap bed, a crowded middle, then a heavier or wheeled end.
One listing is a wheeled patio lounger instead. Which? says it has not tested sun loungers, and it describes zero-gravity seats as closer to recliners than to sunbeds because they tip back and lift the legs.

How do you want to recline?
The best sun loungers in detail
Our view
Straame's navy pair is the heavily reviewed gravity set in this comparison: £59.99 and 4.6 from 3,832 reviews, with powder-coated steel, textilene, and a stated 150 kg per chair. The title talks about a recline up to 170 degrees, while the spec says three positions, and the dimension fields do not agree. Item weight is 16.3 kg for the two chairs, so this is a carry you plan rather than a one-hand lift, and folded size is not stated. UK reviews praise the comfort, though a reviewer who weighs 125 kg thinks that is close to the useful limit, and some people tipped while they were still learning the footrest. The stated 150 kg is a bullet, not a certificate, and it sits above the 110 kg user basis published for BS EN 581-2. More reviews than Mosii do not clear the spec conflict, so it stays without a badge even though the review count is the largest here.
Pros
- 4.6 from 3,832 on the amazon.co.uk line
- Bullet says 150 kg per chair and textilene
- Headrest and a tray in the bullet
- No assembly in the spec
Cons
- Title says 170 degrees and the spec says 3 positions
- Dimension fields disagree
- 16.3 kg for the pair
- A UK review describes tipping while unfolding the footrest
Best for: A high-rated pair of gravity chairs if you accept the spec conflicts
Less suitable: A shopper who needs one clear size and a flat 190 cm bed

Common questions
How far does it recline?
The title and the bullet say up to 170 degrees with lockable levers. The recline-count field says 3 positions. Those are both in the raw file, and they are not reconciled.
What does the listing say it will hold?
The bullet says 150 kg per chair. A UK reviewer at 125 kg thought that was near the practical limit. There is no EN 581-2 report in the file.
How much does the pair weigh?
Item weight is 16.3 kg with a unit count of 2. Folded centimetre size is not stated. The surface field says hard floor.
Our view
Across 1,475 amazon.co.uk reviews, the Lichfield deluxe folding lounger is the light bed people carry around the garden: 4.5 kg, an aluminium tube, and a bullet that lists five positions including flat. Open size on the file is 180 × 60 × 30 cm, the fabric is 600D polyester, and the bullet gives a folded pack of 80 × 61 × 16 cm. The listing is £46.39 with 4.6 stars, and UK reviews describe use across more than one season. The page still fights itself: an Is Foldable field says No, and a maximum-weight field of 4.6 kg matches the item weight rather than a person. Nothing in the included line is a cushion, and there is no EN 581-2 report, so a missing user load is a real gap if you weigh more than the 110 kg basis of that standard. It is the top pick in this set when you want one fold-flat bed you can lift, and a weak match if you need a stated load or a thick mattress.
Pros
- Bullet names aluminium, five positions, and a flat camp-bed position
- 4.5 kg and a stated fold of 80 × 61 × 16 cm
- 4.6 from 1,475 on the amazon.co.uk line
- UK reviews describe several seasons of use
Cons
- Is Foldable field says No while the bullet says it folds
- No credible user load; the 4.6 kg field is the item weight
- No cushion in the included components
- Surface field says hard floor
Best for: A light fold-flat garden bed you will carry and store
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a stated user load or a thick mattress

Common questions
Does this listing lie flat?
The bullet says it can be used flat as a camp bed or as a garden chair, with five positions. A separate field says Is Foldable: No. UK reviews describe a flat position.
What user load does the listing state?
The maximum-weight field says 4.6 kg, next to an item weight of 4.5 kg. That is not treated as a person. No other user load is in the file, and there is no EN 581-2 report.
How heavy is it, and does it fold?
Item weight is 4.5 kg. The bullet gives a folded size of 80 × 61 × 16 cm. The foldable field disagrees with that bullet.
Our view
The Mosii listing is two zero-gravity chairs for £49.99, not one sunbed, and the amazon.co.uk line sits at 4.5 from 513 reviews. The spec names alloy steel, textilene, five recline positions, a stated 150 kg, and an open size of 90 × 65 × 110 cm, which is a listing claim rather than an EN 581-2 certificate. Item weight is 8.2 kg without a label saying whether that is one chair or the pair, and folded size is not stated. UK reviews that like it mention the headrest and the tray, and one review calls the locks stiff, so the first recline can feel awkward until the catch is familiar. The surface field says hard floor, and the care line says to cover it in rain, so this is not a leave-it-on-the-lawn fabric story. It is the best value in this set when you want two feet-up chairs under £50, and the wrong shape if you came for a long bed you can lie flat on.
Pros
- Set of two at £49.99
- Stated load 150 kg and textilene
- 4.5 from 513 on the amazon.co.uk line
- UK reviews mention a headrest and a cup tray
Cons
- Not a long fold-flat bed
- Folded size is not stated
- 8.2 kg is not labelled per chair or per pair
- Surface field says hard floor; care line says cover in rain
Best for: Two feet-up garden chairs rather than one sunbed
Less suitable: Anyone who wants a 180–200 cm bed to lie flat on

Common questions
Is this a lie-flat sunbed?
The item type is a zero-gravity chair, 90 × 65 × 110 cm, with five recline positions. It is a pair of recliners, not a 190 cm camp bed.
What load and weight are stated?
The spec says 150 kg. Item weight is 8.2 kg with a unit count of 2, and the file does not say if that weight is one chair or both. There is no EN 581-2 report.
Does it need assembly?
The assembly field says no. A UK review says little or no assembly. Folded dimensions are not in the file.
Our view
KingCamp is the single padded bed at the dearer end of this set, £89.99 with 4.4 from 2,662 reviews. The bullet gives 200 × 68 cm, five positions out to 180 degrees, 600D Oxford, a 1.5 cm sponge layer, and a stated 200 kg. A later field says 330 pounds, item weight is 8.8 kg, and the bullet's folded size of 80 × 72.5 × 15 cm sits next to a foldable field that disagrees. UK reviews like the lock and the width, and one report describes rust after a beach trip, which is the limit if you rinse sand off and put the frame away damp. The 200 kg figure is a listing claim, not an EN 581-2 report. Choose it when you want one wider padded lounger, and look elsewhere if you wanted two chairs for this money.
Pros
- Bullet says 200 × 68 cm and a flat 180-degree position
- 1.5 cm sponge layer stated, plus a headrest
- 4.4 from 2,662 on the amazon.co.uk line
- UK reviews describe a lock that clicks
Cons
- Load is 200 kg in the bullet and 330 pounds in the spec
- Foldable fields contradict each other
- One UK review reports rust after beach use
- Side pocket criticised as useless once filled
Best for: A wider padded bed when you want one lounger, not a pair
Less suitable: A light carry to the beach, or anyone reading the load as a test certificate

Common questions
Is the stated load 200 kg?
The bullet says 200 kg. A spec field says 330 pounds. The file does not include an EN 581-2 report, so both figures stay listing claims.
Does it fold, and what is in the box?
Special features say foldable and the bullet gives 80 × 72.5 × 15 cm folded. Another field says Is Foldable: No. Included lines name a headrest and side pockets. A carry bag is not named.
Can it be used on grass?
The bullet names lawns, sand, and patios. The surface field says hard floor. One UK review reports frame rust after a beach holiday and dry storage.
Our view
AYDFUORT is the cheapest single bed in this set, £19.99 with 4.4 from 272 reviews. The spec says 190 × 65 × 30 cm, 8 kg, five positions, and a stated 150 kg, while the bullet also says 190 × 70 cm, so the width is not settled. The bullet gives a folded size of 60 × 78 × 15 cm, a UK review says there is no padding and the bed sits about 10 cm off the floor, and another calls the backrest flaky. The star line looks close to much dearer beds, and the height does not. The 150 kg line is still a claim without an EN 581-2 report in the file. It is the low-price option if a low camp-bed stance is what you wanted, and the wrong listing if you expected a raised padded lounger.
Pros
- £19.99 with 4.4 from 272 reviews
- Stated load 150 kg
- Five positions and a stated fold
- UK reviews that like the fold and the width
Cons
- A UK review says it is a low camping bed, not the photo
- Open width is 65 cm in the spec and 70 cm in the bullet
- Floppy feet and a flaky backrest in UK reviews
- Recommended-uses field says Nursing, which the title does not support
Best for: The cheapest single bed in this set, if low height is acceptable
Less suitable: Anyone expecting a thick mattress or a raised patio lounger

Common questions
Is a mattress included?
The title says pillow and mattress. A UK review says there is no padding and the bed is about 10 cm off the floor, and calls it a camping bed rather than the photo.
What load and size are stated?
The spec says 150 kg, 8 kg, and 190 × 65 × 30 cm. The bullet says 190 × 70 × 30 cm and a fold of 60 × 78 × 15 cm. There is no EN 581-2 report.
Is it for indoor nursing use?
A recommended-uses field says Nursing. The title is a camping and garden sunbed. That field is not treated as a medical claim.
Our view
Mopaicot is one grey padded lounger at £69.99, listed at 4.4 from only 44 reviews. The size is 190 × 70 × 30 cm and the weight is 6.8 kg, the bullet says four backrest angles and a velvet pad, and no user load is stated at all. Folded size appears in the bullet in inches only, so a shed measurement in centimetres is not on the page. UK reviews split on that pad: some like that it comes off, others put the thickness at about 1.5 cm. Forty-four reviews is a thin basis next to listings with thousands, so a quiet fault could still be missing from the line. It suits a padded single bed when you can live with that small sample, and it is weaker if you need a stated kilogram limit before you buy.
Pros
- 190 × 70 cm and four positions
- 6.8 kg, and the pad is removable
- No-installation claim in the special features
- Phone storage mentioned in a UK review
Cons
- No stated user load
- Only 44 reviews on the listing line
- UK reviews call the pad thin
- Waterproof question has no answer in the file
Best for: A padded single bed when a small review count is acceptable
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a stated load or a thick mattress

Common questions

The title and the bullet include a square pillow, and the included line names a pad. UK reviews disagree about how thick that pad is.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The customer question is in the file and the spec does not answer it. Care is wipe clean. No water-resistance test is cited.
What will it hold?
No user load is stated. Open size is 190 × 70 × 30 cm and item weight is 6.8 kg. There is no EN 581-2 report.

SereneLife is a set of two zero-gravity chairs at £109.99, with 4.2 from 591 reviews. The bullet says a stated 120 kg, a canopy, cup holders, and a fold of 88 × 65 × 12.5 cm, the open dimensions are 63.5 × 81.3 × 111.8 cm, a later field says 264 pounds against that 120 kg bullet, and item weight is 18.2 kg, so the pair is the heavy end of this file. Only three of the first 50 stored reviews are from the United Kingdom, and those three are positive. A Spanish review in the sample says one chair arrived broken, and that is not UK opinion. The canopy is a shade extra on the listing, not an NHS sun-safety test, and the 120 kg line is not an EN 581-2 report. Take it if you can carry 18.2 kg and you accept a thin British review sample, and leave it if you need a UK-heavy review picture before you pay over £100.
Pros
- Canopy, headrest, and cup holders in the bullet
- Bullet says 120 kg and a compact fold
- Three UK reviews praise comfort and the shade
- Ranked 4 in Sunloungers in the file
Cons
- 18.2 kg for the titled pair
- Only three UK reviews in the stored sample of 50
- Recline count field says 2
- Pack fields disagree: items 1 versus packs 2
Best for: A canopy pair if you can carry 18.2 kg and accept a thin UK review sample
Less suitable: A lie-flat bed, or a decision based on British review text alone

Common questions
Does it include a canopy and a bag?
The bullet includes a sun canopy and cup holders. A carry bag is asked in the file and not answered. Folded size in the bullet is 88 × 65 × 12.5 cm.
What load is stated?
The bullet says up to 120 kg. The spec says 264 pounds. There is no EN 581-2 report. Item weight for the set is 18.2 kg.
Are the reviews British?
The listing line is 4.2 from 591. In the first 50 stored reviews, three are United Kingdom and positive. The rest, including a broken-on-arrival note from Spain, are not UK opinion.
Our view
ATORPOK is one blue padded lounger at £49.99, with 4.2 from 94 reviews, so the sample is much smaller than KingCamp's. Open size is 190 × 70 × 30 cm, the item weighs 6.7 kg, and folded size is not stated. The bullet says four positions, including flat, Oxford fabric, and a stated load up to 200 kg, again a listing claim rather than a standard report. UK reviews like the width, they also call the cushion thin, and one says plastic fittings melted above 25°C, which matters on a sunny UK patio. Ninety-four reviews can miss a fault that shows up only after a hot week. It is a mid-price padded bed if a thin pad is acceptable, and a poor bet if you need thick foam or fittings that reviews do not describe as heat-sensitive.
Pros
- 190 × 70 cm and four positions, including flat in the bullet
- 6.7 kg, with two handles in the bullet
- Bullet states 200 kg
- Some UK reviews report a second summer of use
Cons
- Cushion called thin, with ties too short
- One UK review says plastic fittings melted in heat
- No folded size in the spec
- 200 kg is a bullet only, with no test report
Best for: A mid-price padded bed if you accept a thin pad
Less suitable: Hot-weather use if you are worried by the melted-clip review

Common questions
Does the cushion come with it?
Included components name a sleeping pad with an attached pillow. UK reviews say the pad is thin and the tying tapes are too short, so the cushion creases.
What load is stated?
The bullet says up to 200 kg. There is no separate kilogram field and no EN 581-2 report. Item weight is 6.7 kg.
Does it need tools?
The field says no assembly, and the bullet says it is ready in about five seconds. A UK review says plastic hinges can break while you erect it.
Our view
Grand patio is the wheeled outlier: one black lounger at £149.75 with 4.2 from 74 reviews. The spec says aluminium, mesh, six positions, a stated 110 kg, and 10 kg item weight, with an open size of 130 × 70 × 108 cm and no folded size stated. The title says two wheels, and a UK review says the back does not fold flat and that the wheels are fitted by the buyer, so this is not the camp-bed job and it is not ready to roll out of the box. Only three UK reviews sit in the stored sample, and the rest is German, which is not British opinion. The 110 kg figure matches the user basis published for BS EN 581-2, the file still does not include a test report for this ASIN, and a special-features word says weatherproof, which is a listing label rather than a result from this comparison. It is a patio lounger you roll a short distance if you do not need to lie flat.
Pros
- Title says two wheels and an aluminium frame
- Stated load 110 kg, which matches the usual EN 581-2 test basis as a figure only
- Six positions in the spec
- UK review says it is easy to get on and off
Cons
- UK review says the back does not fold flat
- £149.75 with the same three UK reviews as the beige sibling
- Assembly field says no, while the review says fit the wheels
- Leg style says straight leg, against the title
Best for: A patio lounger you roll a short distance, if you do not need to lie flat
Less suitable: Lying on your front, or anyone treating the German reviews as British

Common questions
Does the back fold flat?
A UK review says the back rest does not fold flat, so it is not for lying on your front. The spec says six positions and does not say flat.
Are the wheels fitted?
The title says two wheels. The assembly field says no, the instruction line says easy to assemble, and a UK review says you mount the wheels. No wheel diameter is given.
Does it include a cushion, and can it go on grass?
Included components say chair. The cushion question is unanswered. The grass question is unanswered. The title names lawn. Special features say weatherproof, with no test.

LSBIKE is one grey sunbed at £49.99, and the amazon.co.uk line is 3.6 from 71 reviews, the weak end of this set on stars. The bullet says 178 × 56 × 30 cm, 4 kg, and 136 kg, while the spec says 178 × 62 × 30 cm, 9 kg, and four recline positions, the title says three, and a folded size of 69 × 59 × 13 cm does not repair that clash. Several UK reviews say the backrest collapsed, and others call it sturdy on a short first use, which does not cancel the collapse reports. The 136 kg bullet is not a certificate, and a lock that fails under someone is a reason to stop, not a technique to practise. It only belongs in a shortlist if you have read those collapse reviews and still want this price.
Pros
- Cushion and a bag in the title
- Bullet names non-slip feet and a powder coat
- Some UK reviews call it comfortable at this price
- Folded size stated as 69 × 59 × 13 cm
Cons
- Repeated UK reviews of a collapsing backrest
- 3.6 from 71, the weaker star line in this set
- Weight is 4 kg in the bullet and 9 kg in the spec
- Cushion ties called too short
Best for: Only if you have checked the collapse reviews and still want this price
Less suitable: Anyone who wants a lock that UK reviews describe as staying up

Common questions
Does the backrest stay up?
The listing claims several recline positions. UK reviews include rivets pulling and the bed collapsing when the back was raised. Other UK reviews call it sturdy. Both are in the file.
How heavy is it?
The bullet says 4 kg. The spec says 9 kg. Folded size in the bullet is 69 × 59 × 13 cm. The file does not resolve the weight.
Is there a bag and a cushion?
The title says cushion and bag, and included components name a bed and a cushion. UK reviews say the bag is useful and that the cushion ties are short.

Amazon Basics is one blue folding lounger at £44.45, with 3.1 from 238 reviews, the lowest star line in this comparison. Item weight is 5.5 kg, size fields disagree, folded size is not stated, assembly is required, no user load is stated, and the rank line is Outdoor Lounge Chairs rather than a clear sunbed class. UK reviews mention a face hole, which some people want for lying on their front, and they also describe feet coming off and a clasp that dropped the back flat. A familiar brand name does not offset a clasp that lets the back go down. A light strap-carry lounger is only worth a look here after those fault reviews, and it is a poor choice if you need a stated load before anyone sits on it.
Pros
- 5.5 kg with a carry strap
- Quick-drying polyester in the bullet
- Some UK reviews like the face hole
- £44.45
Cons
- 3.1 from 238 reviews
- UK reviews of feet coming off and the bed tipping

Common questions
Does it come with a cushion?
The included line is one lounge chair with an adjustable backrest and a carry strap. A cushion is not named. The customer question is unanswered in the spec.
Can it be left outside?
The question is in the file and is not answered. The bullet says the polyester dries quickly. No weathering test is cited.
What do UK reviews say about the feet and the clasp?
One UK review says the plastic feet came off and the bed tipped. Another says the seating clasp failed after about an hour and the back dropped flat. Assembly is required in the spec.
How we compared
Eleven amazon.co.uk listings dated 15 October 2026 stay in this comparison. The score starts from the star line and the review count, then drops where specification fields conflict, where the stored review sample is not United Kingdom, or where UK reviews describe a collapse or a failed clasp. A stated load is a bullet, not an EN 581-2 report. Price does not set the score. Which? says it has not tested sun loungers, and this page is not a laboratory test.
1
Review line
30%The starting point is the amazon.co.uk star rating and the review count on that listing. A larger British sample carries more weight than a short line.
2
UK review faults
25%The score is damped when UK reviews describe a collapsing back, a failed clasp, feet coming off, or rust after a beach trip. Non-UK review text is not treated as British opinion.
3
Specification conflicts
20%Conflicting fold, size, recline, or weight fields reduce the score. A missing folded size or an unlabelled pair weight is a gap, not a hidden plus.
4
Stated load
15%BS EN 581-2 tests are based on users up to 110 kg. A 120 kg, 150 kg, or 200 kg bullet does not add points, because no file includes that report. An item weight labelled as a maximum is not a user load.
5
Frame, surface, and carry
10%Aluminium or steel, textilene or a pad, and the kilogram you have to lift are recorded. They explain the job. They do not override a collapse report or a conflicting spec.

Sun lounger buying guide
Choose the posture before the fabric. A long bed, a gravity chair, and a wheeled patio lounger are three listings in one search, and only one of them matches how you actually sit. The notes below follow the digest order: posture, stated load, surface, frame and carry weight, then the lock and the feet. Prices are amazon.co.uk shelf prices from 15 October 2026.
What is a sun lounger?
A sun lounger in this file is a garden seat you recline on. Shoppers in this scrape are choosing a lie-flat garden bed, a pair of textilene gravity chairs, or a wheeled patio lounger. Which? puts a basic high-street lounger near £25 and a daybed past £1,000. That is not this scrape. The shelf here is one cheap bed, a crowded middle, then a heavier or wheeled end. Under £40, AYDFUORT is £19.99 with 4.4 from 272 reviews.
Best for
- A lie-flat garden bed about 180–200 cm long
- Two textilene gravity chairs under about £60
- A light carry, starting at 4.5 kg
Not ideal for
- Anyone reading a 150 kg or 200 kg bullet as a certified load
- A thick mattress when UK reviews call the pad thin
- A waterproof claim this comparison has not tested
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Mixing a chair height with a bed height
A gravity chair's upright height is not a sunbed's 30 cm bed height. Mosii is listed at 90 × 65 × 110 cm. A fold-flat bed in this file is about 178–200 cm long and about 30 cm high.
- 2
Trusting a thick-mattress photo
Several cheaper pads are called thin or poorly tied in UK reviews. ATORPOK and Mopaicot sit in that group. A photo is not a thickness measurement.
- 3
Reading non-UK reviews as British opinion
SereneLife has only three United Kingdom reviews in a stored sample of 50. Grand patio's stored sample is mostly German. Those texts are not UK opinion. A Spanish broken-on-arrival note is not a British review.
What to weigh up
Posture and surface
HighA sun lounger and a zero-gravity chair do different jobs. Fold-flat beds in this file are about 178–200 cm long. Lichfield's open size is 180 × 60 × 30 cm, KingCamp's bullet says 200 × 68 cm, and AYDFUORT's spec says 190 × 65 × 30 cm while the bullet also says 70 cm wide. A gravity chair is a supported recline with the feet up. Mosii's open size is 90 × 65 × 110 cm. Do not mix that upright height with a sunbed's 30 cm bed height. Surface is the next split.
Stated load, frame, and lock
HighRead the stated load beside BS EN 581-2. The published test basis is users up to 110 kg. No raw file includes that report, so 120 kg, 136 kg, 150 kg, and 200 kg stay bullets. Lichfield's 4.6 kg maximum matches the item weight. Amazon Basics and Mopaicot state no user load. The [sun lounger weight limit](/hub/sun-loungers/blog/sun-lounger-weight-limit-explained) page sets out that limit without ranking these models again. Frame and carry weight decide whether you will actually move it.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Two feet-up chairs
You want textilene gravity chairs under about £60, not one long sunbed. Mosii is two chairs at £49.99 with a stated 150 kg and 4.5 from 513 reviews. The 150 kg line is a listing claim, not a certificate.
One wider padded bed
You want a single lounger with a stated pad, and you will pay more than the pair price. KingCamp is 200 × 68 cm at £89.99, with a 1.5 cm sponge layer in the bullet. The load fields do not agree.
Common questions about sun loungers
Which sun lounger is the top pick in this comparison?
The top pick is the Lichfield deluxe folding lounger at £46.39, with 4.6 from 1,475 amazon.co.uk reviews. It is a 4.5 kg aluminium bed, and the bullet lists five positions, including flat. This is not a lab test. The foldable field says No, and no credible user load is stated. Choose it for a light bed you will carry. Skip it if you need a stated load or a thick mattress.
How much does a sun lounger cost on amazon.co.uk?
Shelf prices dated 15 October 2026 run from £19.99 to £149.75. AYDFUORT is £19.99. The middle is about £45 to £70, including Lichfield at £46.39 and the Mosii pair at £49.99. KingCamp is £89.99, SereneLife is £109.99 for two, and Grand patio is £149.75. Which? mentions a lounger near £25 and a daybed past £1,000. A pair price is the set price, not a price per chair.
What should I check before I buy a sun lounger?
Start with posture. A fold-flat bed here is about 178–200 cm long. A zero-gravity chair lifts your feet. Then read any stated load next to the 110 kg basis of BS EN 581-2. No listing here includes that report. Check textilene or a pad, the frame, and the carry weight, from 4.5 kg to about 18 kg for a heavy pair. Read UK reviews for a collapsing lock or feet coming off.
Is a zero-gravity chair the same as a sun lounger?
They are different jobs in this set. Which? describes a zero-gravity seat as closer to a recliner, because it tips back and lifts the legs. Mosii is 90 × 65 × 110 cm, not a 190 cm camp bed. Straame's title says up to 170 degrees, while the spec says three positions. If you want to lie flat, use a fold-flat bed such as Lichfield.
Is a 150 kg or 200 kg claim a certified load?
No listing here includes an EN 581-2 report. The published tests are based on users up to 110 kg. Bullets claim 120 kg, 136 kg, 150 kg, or 200 kg. KingCamp says 200 kg in the bullet and 330 pounds in a later field. Lichfield's 4.6 kg maximum matches the item weight, not a person. Amazon Basics and Mopaicot state no user load. A higher claim did not add points.
Can I leave a sun lounger out in the rain?
This comparison does not call any model waterproof. There is no weathering test here, and CAP Code rule 3.7 asks for evidence before that claim. Mosii's care line says to cover the chairs in rain. Grand patio's listing says weatherproof, which is a listing word, not a result. Sefton Meadows describes textilene as a fabric meant to dry quickly. That description is not a test of these ASINs.
What if the backrest collapses?
Stop using the lounger if the frame cracks or the back collapses under someone. LSBIKE has repeated UK reviews of a collapsing backrest. Amazon Basics has UK reviews of feet coming off and a clasp that dropped the back flat. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you can reject faulty goods. Within six months the trader proves the item was not faulty when sold. If wheels are the job, see the beach lounger with wheels comparison.
Our verdict
Lichfield is the top pick when you want one light fold-flat bed: £46.39, 4.5 kg, aluminium, and 4.6 from 1,475 reviews. It is not a lab winner, and it does not state a user load. Mosii is best value when the job is two textilene gravity chairs at £49.99, with a stated 150 kg and 4.5 from 513 reviews. Straame has more reviews and no badge, because the recline and the dimensions conflict. Amazon Basics and LSBIKE have no badge because UK reviews describe a failed clasp, feet coming off, or a collapsing back.

Mosii zero-gravity pair
Two textilene gravity chairs at £49.99, 4.5 from 513, with a stated 150 kg. The reason is two chairs at that shelf price, not a divided per-chair price.
