'Sturdy' Dunelm lounger that's 'made for relaxing' gets 50% price slash
'Very comfortable. Lovely to lie back and enjoy the sun.' One garden essential for the summer months is a furniture set or a comfortable lounger. Providing a space for your friends and family to sit when hosting a party or for yourself to relax and soak in the sun is a must. For those in the market for some new outdoor seating, Dunelm is currently hosting a clearance event that is seeing some outdoor items getting reductions up to 50 per cent. This select sale is set to end on June 21, so shoppers only have a few days left to snap up their favourite garden items. If laying in the garden on a comfortable chair sounds like your ideal summer day, Dunelm has slashed 50 per cent off the Polkadot Monochrome Print Padded Lounger. Normally retailing for £39, shoppers can now snap it up for the bargain price of £19.50. Described as 'stylish and comfy' by shoppers, this lounger is perfect for those who don't have much outdoor space as it can be conveniently folded and stored away when no longer in use, reports Birmingham Live. Boasting a monochrome polkadot design, this sturdy lounger features a metal frame and comfy padded seating for added comfort when sitting with a morning brew or a cool glass of wine in the afternoon. What has drawn most of the customers in is the multi-position design and built-in headrest. Dunelm says that these features will offer "supreme comfort for sunbathing or lounging". Due to the reclining aspect, the dimensions of the lounger are H89/107cm x W90/144cm x D65cm. Polkadot Monochrome Print Padded Lounger £39 £19.50 Dunelm Buy Now Product Description For those wanting something with a bright pop of colour, Dunelm is also selling the Helsinki Lounger. Retailing for £35, this chair is available in aqua, Ashley blue, charcoal and coral. Constructed with durable materials to withstand various weather conditions, shoppers will also be able to adjust the lounger to the optimal sunbathing position. Alternatively, shoppers can buy the Home Folding Metal Zero Gravity Sun Lounger from Argos for £45. With three positions to choose from, the lounger comes with a pillow to provide added support for your head and neck. Once used, the lounger can easily be folded up and stored away. Back to the Polkadot Lounger, many shoppers have praised the chair for its comfortable feel, with one shopper saying it was made for relaxing in the summer months. One happy shopper simply wrote: "Very comfortable. Lovely to lie back and enjoy the sun." With another five-star reviewer adding: "I absolutely love this sun lounger in monochrome, it's so comfortable and many settings so very happy I bought it." However, a few shoppers commented on the locking system, with one person saying: "Although a comfortable lounger they really need to address the problem with the locking system, I know it needs locking into place but it still moves forward so you're having to constantly put it back." In response to this, Dunelm stated that they took the chair off sale to carry out investigations into the locking issue noted. They have since uploaded instructions to the product page to help users safely lock the chair into place - this can be found with the product images. On the flip side, a top reviewer said: "Stylish comfortable sun lounger, perfect addition to the garden ready for the summer sun. Easy to open and put away. 10/10." While a fifth customer praised: "Sturdy, stylish sun lounger, made for relaxing on glorious, sunny, summer afternoons." To buy the Polkadot Monochrome Print Padded Lounger, click HERE.

Dunelm's 'stylish' £35 sun lounger adds 'Mediterranean vibes' to any garden
People are raving about the 'comfort and style' of this affordable chair that 'looks great in summer' 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.

Dunelm's £35 'super stylish' sun lounger 'perfect' for 30C heatwave
People were raving about the 'comfort and style' of this affordable chair that 'looks great in summer' With Brits set to bask in glorious summer sunshine this week, many will be scrambling to find affordable outdoor furniture to fully enjoy their gardens. People don't need to break the bank when it comes to shopping for a stylish set-up. The Helsinki Lounger at Dunelm costs £35 per chair and comes in a range of colours—including two bold shades of blue, a striking coral pink, and a classic charcoal grey. Available in most Dunelm stores for same-day click-and-collect, the store says shoppers can take advantage of the sunshine and relax outside with the reclining seat. The retailer adds: "This lounger redefines outdoor comfort, inviting you to unwind in luxurious tranquillity." It continues: "The adjustable backrest allows for personalised reclining positions, ensuring optimal comfort for lounging or soaking up the sun's rays." It is made with "durable materials" designed to withstand the unpredictable British summertime conditions. Dunelm adds that "this lounger will provide longevity without compromising on style or comfort". People can snap up a quick deal on garden chairs in time for the hot weather, such as the Folding Metal Zero Gravity Sun Lounger (Argos, £45) or the Colorado Grey Metal Sun Lounger (B&Q, £50). But the Dunelm option proves to be popular with many shoppers. One shopper 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 wrote: "Seems a very good and early indication is a good product too - so much so we went back and bought a second one!" But, some had issues, like Lucy who claimed: "Sun faded after a week which is a real shame as I was so excited and loved the colour. And, Fiona had a similar issue, writing: "Within two week of using this the plastic arms have faded. Making it look much older than it is." But, most of the 200 reviews praised the chair with a five-star performance. Someone else put: "beautiful chair, I bought 4. Such nice colours and perfect for summer." And, one more 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!" Brits will be taking advantage of summer arriving in full force this week, as temperatures are predicted to spike at 30C in some parts of the UK. But with increased sunshine comes a health warning. The NHS has lots of information about keeping yourself and children safe in the sun and the risks of becoming burnt from overexposure. Sunburn increases the risk of skin cancer, and more information about staying safe is available from Cancer Research UK.

Dunelm cuts 30% off 'comfortable' £55 sun lounger in flash sale
Dunelm cuts 30% off 'comfortable' £55 sun lounger in flash sale The Amsterdam Charcoal Lounger is, according to shoppers "perfect for relaxing in the garden" And relax... and save money too (Image: Dunelm ) Dunelm has slashed the price of a "very comfortable" sun lounger in its latest sale, offering the Amsterdam Charcoal Lounger at a reduced price of £55.30, down from its usual £79, but only until midnight on Sunday, June 22 according to the company's website. The grey lounger boasts 'breathable' mesh fabric and comes with a detachable pillow. The retailer's website suggests it's perfect for various outdoor activities, but customers particularly praise it as "perfect for relaxing in the garden". For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, Dunelm also offers the Helsinki Lounger at £35, available in four colours. It has a 4.5-star rating, slightly lower than the Amsterdam Lounger's 4.7 stars. In comparison, Argos is selling the new Habitat Cali Metal Sun Lounger in orange for £45, which has received exclusively 5-star reviews to date. READ MORE: Cooling cushions, neck fans and other genius ways to keep cool in a heatwave ALSO: Amazon slashes price of 'massive and brilliant' paddling pool big enough for adults The adjustable Amsterdam lounger has four and five star reviews (Image: Dunelm ) The Amsterdam lounger's notable 30% £23.70 discount and its consistent four and five-star customer feedback make it a standout choice on Dunelm's website, reports the Liverpool Echo. A satisfied customer named Andy comments: "Very comfortable reclining lounger. Well constructed all weather covering is perfect for relaxing in garden Tempted to buy a second one, good value." One satisfied customer says: "Very, very comfortable recliner. This is so comfortable! I bought one of these and the Helsinki, cheaper ones, to compare. The Helsinki is comfortable and good value but this is next level! The padding is very comfortable and it's slightly longer and wider, I'm 5'8" and this is better for me. It folds up easily and is light and easy to store. The locking mechanism allows you to recline (Image: Dunelm ) Buyers will need to keep it out of the rain as the cushion doesn't come off to wash or dry, and one person's feedback added a comment on the locking facility on the lounger, saying: "Tilts back easily but as others have said the locking mechanism doesn't lock, it's no problem if you are on a level surface but if you are on a slight downhill you'll slowly tilt upright!" One purchaser was not worried though, saying, "I've just bought another so we don't fight over this one. It's more than double the price of the Helsinki (when being sold at full price) and you can leave that one out to get wet but I think it's worth it for the comfort." The head rest is a bonus for comfortable sitting but cannot be detached (Image: Dunelm ) Article continues below Another buyer gave the Amsterdam sun lounger four stars, noting one area for improvement: "Fantastic lounger very comfortable and stylish. Love that the armrests are thicker than my last loungers, a lot more comfy and roomy. Relaxing in these is lovely and the material keeps you cool. I dropped my rating by one star due to the fact that these don't recline back enough for my liking, just a few inches more would make them perfect." Alternatively, customers can purchase the Argos Home Folding Metal Zero Gravity Sun Lounger in grey similar to Dunelm's Amsterdam chair is priced £45, and also in a choice of teal or blue too, if bringing a pop of colour to the garden or balcony is a priority. The yellow version is currently reduced to £30.15, find out more here.
