The best rattan sun loungers, compared.
Top pick: Keter Daytona graphite lounger – Highest score in this comparison, 7.4 out of 10, from 196 amazon.co.uk reviews. Best value: EVRE rattan sun lounger – Polyethylene rattan and a 7 cm cushion at £109.05, with no printed user load. Updated October 2026.
A rattan sun lounger on amazon.co.uk is usually a long, low chaise, about 195 cm by 60–66 cm, with an adjustable back and a cushion. UK buyers generally mean synthetic polyethylene woven over metal. Natural rattan is a different material: places it in a conservatory because it fades and rots when wet. Judge a listing by a frame metal you can name, a load figure that does not contradict itself, a cushion you bring indoors, and a back that adjusts. Star lines are amazon.co.uk reviews, not a BS EN 581 test. Single chaises in the set weigh about 13–16.4 kg. The recliner is 23 kg and the daybed is 41.6 kg. The ordered checks sit in the [rattan sun lounger buying guide](/hub/sun-loungers/sun-lounger-rattan/sub/sun-lounger-rattan-buying-guide). The weave you can live with outdoors is synthetic polyethylene over a metal frame.

Question 1 of 2
What are you furnishing?
Allibert by Keter Daytona 252925 is listed at £150 with 4.4 from 196 amazon.co.uk reviews, the highest star line in this set. The bullet describes a rattan-style flat weave, four positions, and a 3-year guarantee that excludes cushions, at 16.4 kg. The load field says 150 kg, which is a seller figure, not a BS EN 581-2 certificate. The frame field says wood and the finish field says aluminium, so you cannot name one metal from the page. UK reviews call the base light and easy to build. One UK review says the grey pad stained after a light shower and the holding loop was broken. The long side is about 195 cm, and the depth and width labels look swapped on the dimension line. Choose it for a plastic rattan-look chaise with a stated 150 kg load, and bring the cushion indoors.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A plastic rattan-look chaise with a stated 150 kg load, if the cushion will come inside
Less suitable: A shopper who wants woven polyethylene, or who will leave the pad out in the rain
Specifications
Common questions
Is this woven PE rattan?
The bullet says a rattan-style flat weave that is weather resistant. It does not say polyethylene. The material field says rattan and the frame field says wood.
Does the guarantee cover the cushion?
No. The bullet says 3 years excluding cushions. A UK review says the grey pad stained after a light shower and the holding loop was broken.
What load does the listing state?
150 kg in the maximum-weight field. That is the seller figure. The raw file does not show a BS EN 581-2 report.
EVRE Bali DAY-BED is listed at £255.99 with 4.3 from 417 amazon.co.uk reviews, ranked 32 in Sunloungers. The bullets say powdered steel, PE rattan, four corner seats and a canopy, at 180 x 160 x 143 cm and 41.6 kg, packed in three boxes. The material field says polyurethane, and no user load is stated. The included list has a canopy, four seat cushions and four more cushions, not a rain cover. UK reviews describe a long build, poor supplied tools, quarters that do not lock, and cushions that slide. One UK review recommends buying a cover separately. It is a daybed for two people under a canopy if you have the footprint and a second person to build it, and it is not a 66 cm sunbed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Two people lounging under a canopy, with time and a second person to build it
Less suitable: A 66 cm sunbed, a balcony, or anyone who needs the four quarters to lock together
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Bali set a sun lounger?
The title says daybed sun lounger set. Included parts are four corner seats, cushions and a canopy. The size is 180 x 160 x 143 cm. It is not a single 196 cm chaise.
What is it made of?
The bullets say toughened powdered steel and PE rattan. The material field says polyurethane. No user load is stated.
Does it include a rain cover?
The included list has a canopy, not a rain cover. A UK review recommends buying a cover. The same reviews say the four quarters do not attach and the cushions slide.
Outsunny 862-025V70GG is a single grey chaise listed at £152.99, with 4.3 from 148 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullet puts PE rattan over a steel frame, a five-position back that can go flat, a 5 cm cushion with a washable cover, and a size of 195 x 60 x 30 cm at 15.6 kg. That is a normal single-sunbed length, though the size field also prints 195 x 68 cm, so the width is not one figure. The load is 120 kg in the bullet and 160 kg in the weight field, and neither line is a BS EN 581-2 report. A UK review says the pivot hinges failed in the first winter, which is the limit if you leave a steel joint outside. Another UK review put the build at about 3.5 hours, and one called the mattress too thin. You get a woven-PE chaise the listing says will lie flat, if you treat the two load numbers as a conflict and check the hinges after winter.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A single woven-PE chaise with a back that the bullet says goes flat
Less suitable: Anyone who needs one agreed load figure, or who will not check the hinges after winter
Specifications
Common questions
Does this lounger include a cushion?
Yes. The included-components line says a cushion, and the bullet says it is 5 cm thick with a removable, washable cover. One UK review calls that mattress too thin.
How many back positions does the listing state?
Five. The bullet says you can sunbathe flat or set the back upright. The reclining-position field also says 5.
What load should you plan for?
The dimension bullet says 120 kg. The maximum-weight field says 160 kg. Neither figure is shown as a BS EN 581-2 report.
Allibert by Keter Daytona Deluxe K252223 is listed at £145 with 4.2 from 845 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest count in this set. The bullet calls it a plastic garden lounger with a flat rattan look, four positions, and a 110 kg load, about 195 x 65 x 25.5 cm, and names it for a balcony. The weight is printed as 11 kg and as 13 kg. A UK review says it is plastic, not rattan, and that it still matched their other rattan furniture. Another says the strap broke on first sitting, and a further review says the cushion arrived ripped. One UK review needed no tools because the legs slot in, though another could not get the legs off again to return it. There is no clip for the headrest, in a UK review. It suits a light plastic sunbed if you check the cushion on arrival and accept that the title is a look, not a weave.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light plastic sunbed with a rattan look and a 110 kg bullet, if the cushion is checked on arrival
Less suitable: Anyone who searched for woven rattan, or who cannot return a bed once the legs are fitted
Specifications
Common questions
Is the grey Daytona rattan?
The title says flat rattan look. The bullet says a plastic garden lounger. The frame field says polypropylene. A UK review says it is plastic, not rattan, and that it still matched their rattan furniture.
What load and weight are printed?
The bullet says up to 110 kg and calls it 11 kg light. Another field says 13 kg. Use both figures as printed. No BS EN 581-2 report is in the raw file.
How does it go together?
Assembly is required. A UK review says the legs slot in and no tools were needed for that build. Another review could not get the legs off again to return it after the strap broke.
Grand patio MOOR is listed at £279.98 with 4.2 from 178 amazon.co.uk reviews, and it is ranked 29 in Sunloungers. The size is 80 x 71 x 103 cm and the weight is 23 kg, which is a recliner armchair, not a 195 cm sunbed. The bullets describe wicker over e-coated steel, a button recline to 150 degrees, a flip side table, and an olefin cushion with a 1,200 UV-hour claim, plus a 150 kg stated load and a one-year warranty in the bullet. The frame field says wood and the finish says aluminium, so the metal is not one line. The assembly field says no, while UK reviews describe screws, and one reviewer cut weave away so the bolts would meet the holes. UK reviews praise the table and the button, and one says the chair stuck reclined. Use it if you want to sit up and read with a table on the arm, and leave it if you need to lie flat.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Sitting up to read, with a table on the arm, if you accept a recliner rather than a sunbed
Less suitable: Lying flat on a 195 cm chaise, or anyone who needs one frame metal
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a flat sun lounger?
The title says recliner sun lounger. The dimensions are 80 x 71 x 103 cm and the form factor is recliner. That is a chair with a footrest, not a 195 cm chaise.
What is the frame made of?
The bullets say rust-resistant e-coated steel under the wicker. The frame field says wood and the furniture finish says aluminium. Those lines are all in the same raw file.
Does it need assembly?
The assembly field says no. UK reviews describe fitting the back with screws, and one reviewer cut weave away so the bolts would meet the holes.
EVRE 8530 is the lowest-priced woven chaise in this set, at £109.05, with 4.2 from 72 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets name powdered steel, polyethylene rattan, five brackets, and a 7 cm cushion in three sections with ties, at 196 x 66 x 22 cm and 14.5 kg. No user load is printed, so you cannot check a kilogram limit against BS EN 581-2, whose published tests are based on users up to 110 kg. Several UK reviews call the flat-pack build easy and the bed light to move. A UK review says a missing part was replaced, and another says the gaps between the cushion sections are more obvious than in the photograph. The material field only says faux rattan, which is thinner than the polyethylene wording in the bullets. It is the best value when you want a stated PE weave and can live without a load figure.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A single woven-PE chaise at the low end of this set, if you can live without a stated load
Less suitable: A heavier user who needs a kilogram limit on the listing, or anyone wanting a daybed
Specifications
Common questions
Does the cushion come with the lounger?
Yes. The bullet says a 7 cm cushion in three sections, with ties. Included components list a cushion. A UK review says the gaps between sections are clearer than in the photo.
What is the frame?
The bullets say powdered steel with polyethylene rattan woven around it. The material field only says faux rattan. No user load is printed.
Does it need assembly?
Yes. It arrives flat-pack in one box with a manual, on the bullet. Several UK reviews call the build easy. The listing does not say it is tool-free.
For this comparison we read the six amazon.co.uk rattan sun lounger listings kept on 16 October 2026. The score starts from the star line and is damped when specification fields disagree, a user load is missing, United Kingdom reviews describe a failed hinge, a stained or ripped cushion, or a broken strap, or the product is not a single chaise. It is not a laboratory test and it is not a BS EN 581-2 report. Price does not set the score. The weights below are the written checks. They do not add points on top of the star figure.
Shape
20%A sunbed in this set is about 195 cm long and low. A 103 cm recliner and a 180 × 160 cm daybed are different furniture, even when the title says sun lounger.
Weave versus look
20%Polyethylene rattan in the bullet is a weave. Rattan-style, rattan look, or plastic is a moulded surface. A UK review of the grey Daytona says it is plastic.
Frame metal
15%BBC Gardeners' World says steel frames are prone to rust and should be stored inside over winter. If one listing's fields say wood, steel, and aluminium, do not pick a metal.
Cushion
15%EVRE states 7 cm and Outsunny states 5 cm. Ties, and a stain after rain, matter more than a shower-proof claim. BS EN 581-2 does not cover removable upholstery.
Stated load
20%Use a load only when the listing agrees with itself. A figure above 110 kg is a seller line. BS EN 581-2:2015 tests are based on users up to 110 kg, and no kept file shows that certificate.
Assembly and weight
10%Single chaises in this set are 13–16.4 kg. The recliner is 23 kg and the daybed is 41.6 kg, packed in three boxes. None of these six states wheels.
Use the checks below before the star line. Shape, weave, frame metal, cushion, and a load the listing agrees with itself decide whether one of these six amazon.co.uk listings is the furniture you meant to buy.
A rattan sun lounger, in the way UK shoppers use the phrase on amazon.co.uk, is usually a long, low chaise. Expect about 195 cm in length and about 60–66 cm in width, with an adjustable back and a cushion. The weave you can live with outdoors is synthetic polyethylene over a metal frame. Natural rattan is a different material. BBC Gardeners' World places natural rattan in a conservatory, because it fades and rots when it stays wet.
The title word covers woven polyethylene, a rattan-look plastic, and natural rattan. The Daytona listings describe a look or a flat weave. A UK review of the grey one says it is plastic. Read the bullet before you compare the price with a woven chaise.
Ties and a stain after rain matter more than a shower-proof line. A UK review of the graphite Daytona says the pad stained in a light shower. Bring the cushion indoors, and let it dry rather than sealing it damp. BS EN 581-2 does not cover removable upholstery.
The grey Daytona bullet says 110 kg. The graphite field says 150 kg. The Outsunny says 120 kg in the bullet and 160 kg in the weight field. The EVRE chaise and the Bali daybed state no load. A figure above 110 kg is not a BS EN 581-2 report.
Shape is the first cut. A sunbed in this set is about 195 cm long and low: the Outsunny, the EVRE chaise, and both Daytona listings. The Grand patio is a recliner armchair at 80 × 71 × 103 cm and 23 kg. The EVRE Bali is a four-piece daybed at 180 × 160 × 143 cm and 41.6 kg, with a canopy and three boxes. Treating the Bali as a 66 cm sunbed mixes two products. Weave is the second cut.
The cushion is part of the buy, and BS EN 581-2 does not cover removable upholstery. The EVRE chaise states 7 cm in three sections with ties. The Outsunny states 5 cm with a washable cover, and one UK review calls that mattress too thin. The graphite bullet gives 3 years excluding cushions, and a UK review says the pad stained after a light shower. On the grey Daytona a review reports a strap that broke on first sitting and a cushion that arrived ripped.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want one low chaise, about 195 cm long, and you will bring the cushion indoors. The Outsunny is the top pick: the bullet names woven PE rattan, five positions, and a back that can go flat. Treat the 120 kg and 160 kg lines as a conflict, and check the hinges after winter.
You want to sit up and read, with a table on the arm, rather than lie flat. The Grand patio is that recliner, at 80 × 71 × 103 cm, with a flip table and a 150 kg stated load. The frame fields say wood, steel, and aluminium, so they do not name one metal.
You are furnishing a corner for two, with time to build and a rain cover to buy separately. The EVRE Bali is the daybed in this set: four corner seats, cushions, and a canopy, at 180 × 160 × 143 cm and 41.6 kg. It is not a 66 cm sunbed, and no user load is printed.
The top pick is Keter Daytona graphite lounger, with the highest score in this comparison (7.4 out of 10, from 196 amazon.co.uk reviews). The best value is the EVRE chaise at £109.05. The bullets state polyethylene rattan and a 7 cm cushion. No user load is printed, so that badge is not a load claim.
