Dunelm's 'stylish' £35 sun lounger adds 'Mediterranean vibes' to any garden
Brits are expected to soak up some much-anticipated summer weather this week, and this might mean the hunt for budget-friendly outdoor furniture. There's no need to splash out to find a chic garden set to enjoy the incoming 30C sunshine.
Dunelm's Helsinki Lounger, priced at a reasonable £35 per chair, offers a selection of vibrant colours - including two shades of blue, a coral pink and a charcoal grey. Most Dunelm stores have the lounger ready for same-day click-and-collect, allowing shoppers to make the most of the sunny weather without waiting for a delivery.
The retailer shared on its website: " This lounger redefines outdoor comfort, inviting you to unwind in luxurious tranquillity. The adjustable backrest allows for personalised reclining positions, ensuring optimal comfort for lounging or soaking up the sun's rays."
Crafted with "durable materials" the lounger is said to be built to last through the often unpredictable British summer weather, reports the Mirror. Dunelm added that "this lounger will provide longevity without compromising on style or comfort".
For those looking to grab a bargain on garden chairs just in time for the warm spell, options like the Folding Metal Zero Gravity Sun Lounger (Argos, £45) or the Colorado Grey Metal Sun Lounger (B&Q, £50) are available. However, the Dunelm offering remains a firm favourite among many shoppers.
In the reviews, one customer said: "A super stylish and comfortable lounger. Excellent quality and well-made. Great Summer colour. Good value for money." Lulu added: "Bought these chairs last summer, they have been fantastic. I've taken them on holiday and used them at home, very comfortable."
Phil shared his satisfaction: "Seems a very good and early indication is a good product too - so much so we went back and bought a second one!" And Frances suggested: "Good value for money sun lounger ideal for my small patio. I went for the colour green which gives Mediterranean vibes."
However, not all feedback was glowing, as Lucy claimed: "Sun faded after a week which is a real shame as I was so excited and loved the colour." Fiona also encountered the same problem, writing: "Within two week of using this the plastic arms have faded. Making it look much older than it is."
Despite these issues, the majority of the 200 reviews celebrated the chair's five-star performance. A satisfied shopper said: "beautiful chair, I bought 4. Such nice colours and perfect for summer." And another added: "Amazing chair, I went back to buy another one because my husband was so jealous! Very comfortable, good quality, has survived a few nights I've accidentally left outside!"
With summer making its presence felt this week and temperatures expected to soar to 30C in some parts of the UK, Brits are gearing up to enjoy the heatwave. However, the sunny weather comes with health advisories.
The NHS provides extensive advice on how to protect yourself and children from the sun, highlighting the dangers of sunburn and its link to skin cancer. More details on protective measures can be found through the resources provided by Cancer Research UK.

Small boat migrants given taxpayer-funded days out including dinghy trips & £1 Prem tickets as farcical perks exposed
Other perks given to migrants include half-price discounts on e-bikes — when Army veterans only get a fifth off TAKEN FOR A RIDE Small boat migrants given taxpayer-funded days out including dinghy trips & £1 Prem tickets as farcical perks exposed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HOST of generous perks are being offered to small-boat arrivals — including discounts on martial arts classes and dinghy days out plus £1 Aston Villa match tickets for kids. They are among dozens of farcical asylum deals uncovered in a Sun investigation. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Motorised dinghies can be hired at Rother Valley country park in South Yorkshire Credit: Alamy 4 A host of generous perks are being offered to small-boat arrivals Credit: PA Others include half-price on e-bikes — when Army veterans and pensioners only get a fifth off. Among those dishing out deals is Labour-run Rotherham Council — which gives asylum seekers access to the Rothercard, aimed at helping low-earning families with bills. Around 500 in asylum accommodation in the South Yorkshire town are believed to be eligible. At Rother Valley Country Park's three lakes they get a 30 per cent discount, slashing the cost of a 90-minute double-handed dinghy or sailing boat rental from £20.70 to £14.80. A single-handed dinghy is £12.70, a third down from £16.40. The park also offers discounted watersports including windsurfing. The authority, where one in six live in poverty, raised council tax by three per cent this year. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'It's shocking that yet another Labour Council has been offering illegal immigrants freebies – this time offering discounts for water sports and boat hires. 'You could not make it up. Hard-working Brits are subsidising perks for illegal immigrants crossing the Channel, while at the same time seeing local services cut. 'This has got to stop. The British people have had enough. Loophole in PM's swap plan means the more bogus an asylum seeker is, the less chance we have of kicking them out 'Families are struggling to make ends meet and being slapped by huge Labour tax rises, all to pay for handouts to illegal immigrants who have flouted our border laws and never paid a penny in tax.' Meanwhile Birmingham City Council offers £1 kids' tickets to Aston Villa with a paying adult. It subsidises swimming, martial arts plus courses on trampolining, golf, gymnastics and football. And in Calderdale, West Yorks, migrants are offered £15 off a massage and discounted tickets at Bradford's IMAX cinema. Those living in publicly-funded accommodation can also use the Passport to Leisure card to get weekend yoga sessions and £1 off theatre tickets. Also available is physiotherapy in Halifax, with the card scheme's page saying migrants get £15 off an initial assessment, then a 'further £5 saving for each treatment and one-hour massage'. 4 Chris Philp said: 'It's shocking that yet another Labour Council has been offering illegal immigrants freebies' Credit: PA Ex-Tory minister Sir Alec Shelbrooke said: 'I'm shocked and appalled at the blatant waste of hard-pushed taxpayers' money when councils are declaring poverty. 'This blatant waste will appal families who, quite frankly, cannot afford to take these perks even with a discount. 'While everyone else has their benefits cut, asylum seekers are being pampered with perks at taxpayers' expense.' Nationwide, we can reveal an e-scooter firm offers boat migrants a 50 per cent discount — while only giving Army veterans, NHS nurses and firefighters a fifth off. Voi scooters, which operates in cities including London and Bristol, gave migrants half-price access to passes under an 'equitable access' scheme. Users can apply online and if accepted pay as little as £7 a week. At least one asylum hotel resident this year has been charged with dangerously driving an e-scooter. Tory MP Sir John Hayes said: 'If they are going to offer a discount scheme, surely UK veterans and pensioners should come first? 'I know what my priority would be — people who served this country and worked hard for this country all their lives.' Swedish firm Voi has had over 21million rides on its 1,400 scooters since launching here in 2020. The company claims to have replaced nine million car journeys with eco-friendly electric options. Yet Voi does not offer the same 50 per cent deal to asylum seekers in France and Belgium, where thousands wait to cross to soft-touch Britain. 4 Perks include discounts on martial arts classes and dinghy days out plus £1 Aston Villa match tickets for kids Credit: Getty In the capital, Richmond council gives asylum seekers free swimming and cheaper Spanish or French lessons via a discount card. Nearby Kingston Council has 50 per cent off leisure activities. And Wandsworth Council, South London, has 50 per cent off e-bikes plus half-price weddings and civil partnership ceremonies at its town hall. Our probe comes a month after French President Emmanuel Macron slammed PM Sir Keir Starmer for the migrant crisis. He warned the UK must address 'pull factors' including freebies, luxury accommodation and easy access to black market work on Just Eat or Deliveroo. The Home Office operates around 210 migrant hotels at a cost of more than £3billion a year. The Government has pledged to close them all by 2029 — but has opened new hotels this year. Rotherham Borough Council said: 'The Rothercard scheme offers support to all residents on low incomes. We would not generally expect asylum seekers to be accessing sports facilities like Rother Valley Country Park. 'Rothercard also helps with the costs of services like pest control and waste disposal, which we would want to ensure were available to everyone who lives here.' Danielle Durrans, at Calderdale Council, said: 'The Passport to Leisure scheme offers discounted access to sport, cultural and leisure facilities.' She said some discounts were offered by private firms. Voi was invited to comment.
