PERFECT for the patio, sun loungers allow you to soak up the summer sunshine in style.
And it does not need to cost you an arm and a leg – there are loads on the market that offer superb comfort for less.
When it comes to buying a lounger, you’ll want to invest in one that suits your needs, budget and available space.
So it pays to put in a bit of research and ask a few questions before you buy.
Whether wood, metal or plastic – choose materials that suit you best.
Wood is generally more robust but it’s will also heavier, making your lounger more difficult to move.
Some loungers also come with removable cushions or a fabric seat for a higher price.
Make sure you compare the costs as it might be cheaper to buy a simpler sun lounger and accessories separately.
They are available in different stores, so shop around to find one that fits your style and your budget.
Sun loungers also tend to sell out quickly ahead of summer, so we’ve listed the shops with the best models available at time of writing.
Here’s our pick of the best sun loungers this summer.

It’s comfortable, lightweight, easy to unfold and pack away, and looks pretty stylish too.
Amazon has a wide range of sun loungers to suit pretty much any budget.
