Here are some important tips for making the most informed choice possible.

Garden beds: proposals and offers from the best brands

One of the greatest advantages that characterise a model of garden sunbed is the possibility offered by this furniture to take advantage of sunny days to spend in your open space, without the need to go to the beach or swimming pool. Sunbeds are a particularly useful and popular piece of furniture for people who love to tan and therefore spend many hours in the sun during the summer.

If you want to relax and enjoy the sun in peace in your own garden, it is essential to be able to do so on a sunbed that is comfortable, functional and able to guarantee maximum comfort. In order to make an accurate and intelligent choice, it is first of all important to know precisely the commercial proposal currently available for the best garden sun loungers.

Sun lounger: characteristics and peculiarities

The deckchairs differ from the sunbeds in two aspects in particular: the simple and elementary deckchairs do not present the accessories of the headrest, armrests and footrest. The person's body is actually placed directly on a sheet, supported by a special frame.

It is usually possible to adjust a deckchair by means of special grooves, located in the rear section of the furniture. Generally we can affirm that deckchairs are extremely simple furniture, light and easy to move in one's own space. The negative aspect of a deckchair is represented by the fact that these furnishings are certainly not as comfortable as a sunbed. A sunbed has a solid structure, capable of supporting the whole body and guaranteeing a good standard of comfort and convenience.

An alternative to the purchase of a deckchair can be represented by the deckchair: with this term we mean a piece of furniture equipped with armrests, from which it is possible to adjust the slope of the backrest. There are many variants of deckchairs available on the market today (even rocking chairs).

Sunbeds: main models available on the market

Garden sunbeds are undoubtedly the most suitable furniture for enjoying summer days in your outdoor spaces, enjoying maximum convenience and comfort. Most of the models available on the market also offer the possibility of adjusting the backrest: the latter can be raised and make the furniture perfect for reading a book or a magazine.

Today the market is able to offer many solutions of garden sunbeds, made with a supporting structure made of different materials. It is possible to buy garden loungers made of aluminium, wood, wrought iron (particularly refined workmanship), or even steel or plastic. Among the most sought-after models are certainly the wooden sunbeds, which are particularly appreciated for their high quality. Different varieties of trees are used to make wooden sunbeds, such as larch, pine, teak and iroko.

Aluminium sunbeds are also much sought after and appreciated for their lightness and ability to withstand UV rays and in some cases rain and weather.

In addition to the frame material, when choosing a sunbed it is also necessary to pay the utmost attention to the choice of upholstery, which is essential to ensure high standards of comfort. In addition to the upholstery material, it is essential to pay the utmost attention to the quality of the padding. The covers of sunbeds are nowadays manufactured with the help of a variety of fabrics: these are almost always subjected to special treatments to give them the ability to resist atmospheric agents for a long time.

As far as the padding is concerned, it is usually proposed in fixed or removable versions. Having clarified the technical aspects relating to materials and padding, let us now examine some of the main sunbed models available on the market, with reference to the style and design of these furnishings.
