Amazon's bestselling garden loungers with 700 five-star reviews Shoppers can give their garden a new look for summer with these garden loungers Perfect for family days in the garden (Image: Amazon ) Summer is finally here, and hopefully the hot weather is going to follow along. This means being outdoors is going to be a must to catch rays and maybe even a tan. When it comes to being outdoors, many people want to be able to simply sit in their gardens and not have to go too far to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Now, they are in luck as the KEPLIN Set of 2 XXL Premium Heavy Duty Textoline Zero Gravity Chairs are down to £109.99 from £129.99 on Amazon - and they could be the perfect way to relax. The set, which comes in the shade light grey, features two chairs capable of reclining up to 160 degrees, allowing shoppers to fully relax with a book or drink in hand. Each one features a detachable cup holder and adjustable headrest pillow, and has anti-slip feet to ensure stress free lounging with no worries of falling off or having a sore neck.

However, the KEPLIN chairs are crafted with a water-resistant design to ensure unexpected showers won't cause any damage. If shoppers want to transport the chairs for a camping trip, a beach day or a wholesome picnic in the park, they can easily do so as they can fold completely flat. With a 150kg weight capacity, bungee rope technology to offer extra support and flexibility and measuring at 110 x 90 x 75cm upright, these chairs seem to have everything covered. If these chairs aren't what shoppers had in mind, they could also opt for others such as the Set of 2 Helsinki Loungers for £69 from Dunelm in the shade navy. These loungers are described as being comfortable and robust, low maintenance and constructed with durable materials designed to withstand outdoor conditions. Another slightly cheaper option is the Nevada Patio Rocking Chair for £49.99 from The Range. This chair is described as being stylish and contemporary, includes a side bag, is sturdy and reliable and perfect for outdoor use. Shoppers can feel like they're on holiday in their own garden with this luxurious sun lounger (Image: Amazon ) The KEPLIN loungers, however, have a 4.4 out of 5 star rating from a total of 1,056 reviews on Amazon. One person said: 'Really good quality. Good width and well padded.' Another said: 'These chairs are great…They are simple to fold and unfold, mine came pristine, they are really comfortable, recline to any position with a simple locking system and take minimal space to store.' 'Very smart, comfortable and easy to set up,' said another shopper. 'Clip on tray is ideal for mobile phone, drinking glass and book. Very sturdy with plenty of room for us heavier built people.' Others disagreed with the higher reviews, as one person said: 'These chairs are much heavier than described.' Article continues below Another wrote: 'Unfortunately, a piece of plastic has already snapped off one of the armrests.' Despite this, for a strong, sturdy but compact option for the summer months coming in, the KEPLIN Set of 2 XXL Premium Heavy Duty Textoline Zero Gravity Chairs could be an ideal buy for gardens.
