Dunelm's popular Helsinki Set of Two Reclining Sun Lounger Chairs has been reduced to £45.50 in the brand's clearance sale, down from £65, making each lounger £22.75. Shoppers have praised the loungers for being 'sturdy' and 'comfortable'.
Design and Features
According to the site, the lounger is designed to offer a 'weightless feel for optimal relaxation', with a smooth reclining mechanism for easy adjustment from upright to laid-back positions. A padded headrest provides extra support, making them suitable for long days in the sun, family gatherings or pure relaxation.
The fold-flat design simplifies storage, and the loungers are delivered fully assembled, so they can be used straight out of the box. The dimensions are 76.5-107cm x 65.5cm x 159-98.5cm.
Customer Reviews
The Helsinki Set has received an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars from Dunelm customers. One shopper said: "These are one of the best sets we've bought. Last autumn, we threw out some very old similar sets with padded cushions. So we were cautious that these might not be very comfortable. These are in fact great and, with the recliner option and being able to lock in place, we can't fault these."
A second reviewer wrote: "The reclining chairs are sturdy, comfortable and easy to store. Great value for money and fast delivery." A third added: "These loungers are perfect, whether in the upright chair position or in one of the many reclining positions. Great footrest and the headrest can be repositioned by sliding it up or down. Very comfortable for sunbathing (don't forget your sunscreen!). I love the black colour as it blends in with other pieces of furniture on our patio."
Alternative Options
Argos also offers the Harbour Housewares Zero Gravity Chair Set in black for £51.99, which the site says allows users to transition from an upright seat to a full recline 'in seconds' with a smooth-glide mechanism, and these are fully foldable.
At Debenhams, the Alivio Set of Two Heavy-Duty Zero Gravity Reclining Sunloungers Patio Chairs is available for £45.99, down from £99.99, in dark grey. Other colours are also available, and these feature a zero gravity ergonomic design, an adjustable reclining mechanism, a removable padded headrest pillow, and a cup holder and phone slot.
Some customers noted drawbacks. One said: "Lightweight lounger. Followed the instructions to recline, not easy. Hopefully will recline more easily with use." Another commented: "Found it difficult to recline and needs a cover when hot."
