In finding an affordable camping lounge chair know your market before making your purchase. Consider factors such as: how often you go camping every year, the quantity of chairs needed, and storage for the chairs. For instance, if you frequently camp with your family will need chairs for every one. You need chairs that are both durable and will fold easily for storage. Perhaps you should also consider chairs that you could store in your truck of SUV. Consider also the material in which the chair is constructed so that it will last for many years to come.
In considering these factors one ideal choice is the portable lounge chair or outdoor travel chair. These chairs are both durable and fold down flat to fit into small carrying bags. Another plus is that these chairs have a cup holder on both arm rests. This is ideal for holding your cups and soft drinks. If you camp out frequently consider quality when making this purchase. Although the thinner cloth camping lounge chairs of this kind are cheaper at $20 as of 2010, paying the extra cost for more durable material is the better option. Folding travel chairs of this kind with thicker more weather resistant chairs will cost roughly $40.
The chaise loungers are another more distinguished type of camping lounge chair. The basic frame design is set up similar to the old beach lounge chairs where plastic was once woven across the metal frame. The newer design removes the need to constantly adjust the top and the bottom of the chair by clicking each all the way to a folding position to readjust. This chair adjust similar to the way of your recliner–easily with a lever. The coverings for these chairs are woven, but unlike the old beach chair this woven material is not a bulky hard plastic. This material is a heavy duty nylon weaving which allows air to circulate through it. The material is more durable than the old hard plastic and will last a lot longer. A duffel bag like carrying case comes with these chairs. Prices for the chaise loungers begins at $59.99.
Another option to consider if hitting the beach this year is the folding bleacher chair. These portable chairs are ideal seating for the beach. Just as these chair support your back and provide cushioning on hard stadium seats at sporting events, they will do the same for you on the beach. The chairs give you a better alternative than using a simple beach towel. You are supported by its metal frame instead of leaning back on your arms. This prevents the strain on your back and allows for cushioning between you and the hard ground. This chair is adjustable to up to ten different sitting positions and folds easily for storage. Its light weight design makes it easily portable. The material covering is constructed of a durable nylon that is water resistant and easy to clean. This model is available in both adult and children sizes. Prices for the folding bleacher chair start at around $49 for adults and $39 for children sizes.
