A rattan sun lounger is where the garden earns its keep on a warm afternoon. The main decision is the shape — a sculpted curved lounger or an adjustable flat one — followed by whether you want a single or a pair, and which extras (wheels, a side table, a canopy) earn their place.
Curved or flat?
Curved loungers have a sculpted, S-shaped frame that cradles the body and doubles as a design feature, so they look striking and stay put. Flat (reclining) loungers adjust through several backrest positions and lie level for sunbathing. Some curved designs also recline, so it's worth checking what positions a particular lounger offers.
Single or a set of two?
Buy a lounger on its own, or a set of two, often with a small side table between them for drinks. A pair works out better value for couples and suits a poolside or sunny terrace.
Features worth having
Look for reclining backrests, built-in wheels so you can follow the sun or move the lounger under cover, a headrest cushion and weatherproof seat pads. Some come with a canopy for shade on the hottest days, and some fold flat or stack for winter storage.
PE rattan and care
The weave is PE (synthetic) rattan over a powder-coated frame, built to stay outside through the seasons without rusting or fading. Wipe it down with a damp cloth, store the cushions dry, and cover the lounger over winter for the longest life.
Colours
Loungers come mostly in brown, grey and black to suit most gardens. Browse the range below to compare shapes and features, or explore the wider rattan collection.
