Outwell Fontana Lake Lounger

So we won a sun lounger, yes actually won it in a competition during a trade show. It was no ordinary sun lounger, no this was Outwell's top-of-the-range Fontana Lake Lounger, and luckily it arrived just in time for a burst of warm weather.

On opening the box we discovered there was no assembly required (yessss!), and we had it open fully in a matter of seconds.  The frame is high strength durable steel, and the thick full-length padded top is amazingly comfortable. It has a 4 position back rest, a detachable head rest, which can also be used as pillow, and oversized, flat, adjustable feet, which are great for uneven ground, and to stop it sinking into your lawn.

There is a long strap attached which makes it easy to keep the lounger folded for storage.

The best thing has to be the anti-tip leg at the foot of the bed. This means you can actually sit on the end of the bed, which is invaluable, as anyone who has embarrasingly tipped up a sun lounger on holiday will attest.

We also didn't have to worry if it can hold our chunky bodies, as it has a maximum load of 150kg (approx. 23½ stones) - more than enough (for now).

I have now claimed this luxurious lounger as my own, except when Lilly (the Mud Life dog)decides it is hers, which happens quite a bit when the sun is out. After a bit of awkward bum shoving and gangly leg manoeuvering, both of us can fit on and enjoy the sun together.
