Sun Loungers are a product that is always found in the houses of summer and beach lovers.
Anyone who has a little space can make good use of sun loungers and probably already keeps at least one in the garage or cellar.
As soon as the good weather arrives we take advantage of it and enjoy a little relaxation, maybe on one of our sun loungers. The idea is simple but brilliant, and like all brilliant ideas even the cot has ancient origins. Derived from the greppina, an armchair of Greek origin commonly associated with the philosophers. A smart choice for a person who spends much of his time in sitting position. So much so that the same greppina was then adopted by the Roman world with the name of chair.
The modern sun lounger
History aside, the sun lounger has experienced constant success and gave rise to variants such as the tripolina, of military use, or the director chair, now all part of the broader category of so-called rational chairs; in all these variants the principle is always the same same as time passes. Who wants to be comfortable and relaxed he chooses the sun lounger.
Sure, there are certainly valid alternatives, like the very common deckchairs or beach chairs, but the sunbed has gained an increasingly prominent position in the heart of tourists and lovers of relaxation. Pools, bathing facilities and anyone with a garden, chooses the sun lounger. Comfortable, relaxing and, today, even more versatile. How then to improve on such a successful product? First of all we must talk about materials, which today are more and more high quality, but there are also other characteristics to evaluate. Let’s see them together, in order to evaluate what is the best for you.
Textilene Fabric
Today’s sun loungers, at least quality ones, are built with textilene-based fabrics, a synthetic fiber derived from the processing of ultra-tear-resistant PVC that does not suffer from atmospheric agents or prolonged exposure to UV rays. This means that it is particularly useful for swimming pools and bathing facilities and that the sun lounger will not lose color over time, as it usually does under ultraviolet rays, it will not suffer from rain or salt and will therefore be able to keep over the years.
For a buniness this means reducing costs and maintaining high quality furniture, a purely aesthetic aspect perhaps, but that mean the difference in maintaining a certain image towards customers. Moreover, by choosing a sun lounger with Built-in adjustable canopy you will experience pleasant shade from it, that is decidedly fresher than that from a synthetic fabric of lower quality.
Adjustable backrest
If once the deckchair and the beach were the rulers of the beaches and of the pools, today the sun lounger has been added to the panorama of our beaches and swimming pools. Now we can have sun beds with adjustable positions and reclining backrests that cover many more positions compared to the classic horizontal position, we can move to a “seated” position or choose intermediate adjustments that would be available on a traditional deckchair.
Anodized aluminium, stainless steel and rattan
The materials make the difference, as we have already been able to guess. The textilene has its advantages, but even the more structural components, those who are not seen, should not be underestimated. An entirely polyrattan sun lounger is devoid of those iron parts that when exposed to atmospheric agents and saltiness tend to rust or decay. The life of a poly rattan sunbed is definitely longer than the one of an old outdated cot. High quality textilene sun loungers, are built using screws and components made from anodized aluminum and stainless steel, they do not rust and do not suffer from bad weather. To a resort or a swimming pool this means reducing running costs, one aspect that is definitely not negligible. Whether it’s in poly rattan or aluminum and textilente, today’s beach bed has definitely changed pace.
Foldable and adjustable sun loungers
The general design of the sun lounger, as we have seen, has lasted for centuries and is difficult to think of ways to improve it. What we can improve is features and functionality. The products of today are foldable and adjustable, giving us more possibilities to find the right comfortable position. In addition, also given the low weight of the latest generation of materials, sun loungers have become more easily transportable, an indisputable advantage for those who frequent free beaches, but also for those who limit themselves to use in the garden or on the terrace. To those businesses that own a large stock of products, the possibility of folding and stacking the sun loungers saves space and facilitate end-of-day operations, such as cleaning and maintenance. Some models are even equipped with handles or wheels to further enhance these qualities.
Finger saving features
If we think of the sun loungers of many years ago we cannot forget all the times our fingers got stuck while opening and adjusting them. Today, finally, high quality sun beds feature finger guard systems. The legs open and set smoothly. The size and load capacity of the best sun loungers has also increased, thanks to the use of latest generation materials, so that, even under an excessive weight, there is no risk of collapse.
Conclusions
The reason for the success of the sunbed in history is already known. Now, thanks to this overview, we also know how to evaluate the product that we are about to buy. You just have to find the sunbed that’s right for you and wait for the first sunny day available to lie down in the garden, or on the beach, and just relax. Get one of our new sun loungers today.
