For Britons keen to maximise their time outdoors this spring and summer, investing in quality garden furniture is essential. A sun lounger is perfect for those wanting to bask in the sunshine and enjoy a relaxing afternoon stretched out comfortably in the garden.
Dunelm’s Helsinki Lounger has become a hit with online shoppers, and it’s easy to understand its appeal. Priced at just £35, customers have hailed it as ‘great value for money’.
Purchasers of the Helsinki Lounger consistently praise its comfort levels, with many noting it’s ‘so comfortable’. Several reviewers mention it’s ‘easy to fall asleep in’ thanks to its thoughtfully designed ergonomic structure.
The lounger features an adjustable backrest offering multiple reclining positions, guaranteeing maximum comfort tailored to individual preferences. Built from robust materials engineered to endure outdoor elements, it promises durability while maintaining both aesthetic appeal and comfort.
Customers can choose from four colour options for the Helsinki Lounger. Beyond the timeless charcoal grey variant, there’s a striking blue, along with a traditional green and a bright yellow, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Alternatively, Sainsbury’s Habitat stocks the Bright Stripe Folding Metal Sun Lounger for £35. This vibrant multi-position sun lounger is perfect for leisurely days in warm weather.

A third customer remarked: “Perfect chairs for lounging and tanning,” adding they were “Easy to relax back into and fall asleep in the lovely sunny weather.”
However, one buyer expressed reservations about the Helsinki Lounger in a three-star assessment, saying: “Nice appearance, although I do find it awkward to recline once seated. I shall persevere because it’s probably me not being used to the action on it, lovely colour though.”
Yet another customer was thrilled with their recent Dunelm buy, commenting: “Great value for money. Very comfortable and look good too. Easy to fall asleep in.”
A further five-star assessment states: “Great value garden recliner. Love the colour. Plastic construction so should be able to withstand a drop of rain. Comfortable and easily adjustable.”
