At Keplin, our team of experts tests every product until the design is ideal for our customers. In this article, we will present a bit of background about this type of product and will then explain which model might be most suited to your needs. We have a design for every type of lounger – from laptop-holders to nappers!
The History Behind Sun Loungers
It all starts with Standkorb, a German word meaning “beach basket”. This invention dates back to 1882 and protected people from the sun, providing a parasol-like construction on top of a seat complete with footstools. Over time, this beach seat extended until it became the fully adjustable version we know today, on which one can even lay down if need be. Efforts were also spent improving the frame and materials to keep it rust-free and avoid discoloration. We regularly update our models to reflect customer demand, so you’re sure to purchase a moder, ergonomic sun lounger with Keplin. Keep reading to learn more about our collection!

Crafted with durable 600D Oxford fabric, our garden loungers have a lightweight yet sturdy design. Weighing only 6kg, this weather-resistant model offers adjustable comfort for both your back and your legs. It’s adjustable in four different positions and is available in a variety of colours to fit your garden’s aesthetic. When folded, it’s only 65cm wide – perfect for the garden shed.
Padded Model
For those who prefer true luxury, a softer landing is always an option. With our padded garden recliner, you can enjoy extra cushioning and a durable steel frame that can support up to 110 kg. You can sit upright or lie back all the way. These weatherproof luxury chairs are perfect for comfortable support and they’re available in several shades to add a pop of colour to your outdoor space.

Just like our padded version, this quilted recliner comes with a side pocket to store your drinks, books or any other accessories you may need. It offers the same style of cushioning but in a slightly different design. The stylish dual colouring of this product will elevate your garden’s look with a refined touch. It also features side handles so that you can easily move it around, from sunny spot to sunny spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best material for sun loungers?
For the frame, think of long-lasting materials like metals. Plastic is another sturdy option but is not as eco-friendly. Rattan furniture are a good bet if you look after your product well. For the fabric part of the sun lounger, opt for quality materials like Oxford fabric, textilene and pick options with extra padding for a touch of luxury.
Should I buy a Zero Gravity chair or a sun lounger?
Zero gravity chairs help balance your posture with lifted legs and by doing so, they also may relieve some of the pressure on your heart. Your body will feel “weightless” and this positioning is therefore useful for back pain and other common aches. Sun loungers are flatter and allow you to lie down completely. Perfect for an afternoon nap or a spot of reading in the sun!
What are the benefits of sun lounging?
First, getting some Vitamin D! With only a few minutes of exposure a day, you can replenish your reserves in this precious nutrient. Getting some sunshine outdoors can also improve your sleep and mood as well as lower blood pressure. Who knew being lazy could be good for you?
What to look for when buying a sun lounger?
First, the quality of the product is paramount. You can assess this aspect from the materials used and the reviews shared by customers. Our sun loungers have been reviewed hundreds of times with an average of 4.3 stars. People who purchase our product often highlight its comfort, quality and value for money.
How much does a sun lounger cost?
A typical, good quality sun lounger should cost between £50 and £100. You can always add accessories to your purchase like extra cushions or a parasol but remember that some sun loungers already come with extras. For example, ours features a side pocket to store your book, phone or can.
How to take care of a sun lounger?
Think about where you’ll place it in your outdoor space. Even though our sun loungers are weatherproof, they will last longer if you protect them from the elements. When you’re not using your garden furniture for extended periods of time, store them away in a cool, dry place. For cleaning, simply use a damp cloth to sweep the surfaces. Make sure the sun lounger is fully dry before storing away. This will avoid mould or discoloration.
