Many say it’s so comfortable and relaxing they have nodded off — and some have already bought more than one
Dunelm is stocking a garden chair that customers claim is so ‘comfortable’ and ‘relaxing’ that they can drift off to sleep in it with ease and have already purchased more than one. The high-street homeware retailer is a go-to destination for many across the UK, offering an extensive selection of interior design and garden products.
With the weather remaining warm for the remainder of the week, numerous Brits are venturing outdoors to enjoy the sunshine, including spending leisure time in their gardens. For those seeking a new chair to unwind in beneath clear skies, Dunelm may have precisely what shoppers are after.
Dunelm’s Padded Yellow Ochre Camping Chair not only ‘brightens’ outdoor spaces, but it also features a padded seat and backrest for ‘extra comfort’. Priced at £29, it currently holds an average rating of 4.2 stars out of five.
Numerous customers have shared enthusiastic reviews of the chair, which includes a mesh storage pocket on the reverse and can be packed away in a matching bag for ‘easy portability’. There is also a navy and white polka dot variant available at the same price.
The product description states: “Brighten up your outdoor adventures with the Padded Yellow Ochre Camping Chair. This folding chair combines comfort and portability, featuring a padded seat and backrest for relaxation and a handy carry bag for effortless transport. Perfect for camping trips, picnics, or sporting events.”
Beyond Dunelm, customers can find comparable chairs at retailers such as Amazon, which is offering a Luxury Camping Chair for £39.99 that “offers ultimate comfort for any occasion”. Meanwhile, Argos is stocking a Folding Metal Sun Lounger in yellow for £50, reports the Liverpool Echo.
That said, Dunelm’s Padded Yellow Ochre Camping Chair has attracted numerous glowing testimonials. One customer commented: “Absolutely the most comfortable camping/garden/picnic chairs I have sat in. You could actually fall asleep in it. Beautiful vibrant colour! Highly recommended!”
Another remarked: “Hands down, this is the MOST comfortable deck/camping chair I’ve ever sat in. Slouchy, but not slumped. Cosy, but not smothering. The price was most favourable too. A total bargain and win! Only draw back is you won’t want to get out of it!”
A third noted: “Love these chairs comfortable and easy to store. Great value for money. Lots of great colours to choose from. Delivered to my door, but can purchase from the store. I have purchased three so far not finished yet.”
A fourth added: “Love it. I was at first worried that it was a bit bulky but it’s so easy to put together and repack. It’s also very comfortable and looks quite stylish. I’m in my 70s so this is really important. Great for relaxing in the garden, reading or snoozing.”
However, not everyone was in agreement, with some highlighting a few concerns. One reviewer wrote: “Bought these for a camping trip after buying and returning some others that weren’t comfy at all. Found these very comfortable to sit in all weekend. Nicely padded and a nice reclined position that didn’t hurt my back. Great for the kids too. If I was to give it any negatives, it’s that you have to take the padding off the frame to pack away in the bag. But only adds a few minutes.”
A second customer claimed: “Unsure why they are still selling these chairs! The stitching of the pockets that hold the fabric to the frame are not strong enough and therefore not fit for purpose!” While another added: “Kept giving static shocks every time I’d use it. Persisted for a while but gave up in the end as awful. Fabric has to come away from frame to put back in bag. Not very good.”
One further shopper typed: “Pros 1. Very comfortable chair for relaxing in the garden. I love it: 2. Easy to fold up, put it in its carry bag, put in the car to take to the park/beach. 3. Very sturdy 4. Fantastic price Cons: 1. Not comfortable in very high temps because it’s not a breathable fabric, quite thick, and makes you sweat badly. In normal heat conditions it’s great. 2. A bit heavier and bulkier than the smaller fold up chairs that don’t have a padded seat so not great for carrying on public transport.”
Most reviews are glowing. One satisfied customer wrote: “Very comfortable and neat and a very good price I can highly recommend it.” While another added: “Really comfy chair to sit on and relax in the garden.”
