I bet over the years, we have collected at least 20 bag chairs. But what I need is a good lounge chair !
Has anyone got any suggestions ?

We have seen many people with the expensive Camping world outdoor lounge chairs who like them but bought them when they were on sale. Not fire resistent and a little touchy with the rain but real nice and comfy.

We couldn't live without our loungers!
They are made by Lafuma
They are kind of expensive but we think they are worth it! We bought the little attachable trays online.

I would agree with Linda--LaFuma loungers are super comfortable!

Hi,
Camping World has a good selection and many of them are quite large and comfortable. Problem we've found, is that they begin to rust almost immediately. We've returned one already and picked a new model, but it has started to rust within the past month.
BTW, we keep them tucked under the nose at night, so they're not getting dew covered.

Linda,
Where would one go for a Lafuma?

Travel Chair's "Lounge Lizard" model (sold by REI as previously mentioned and through SEVERAL on line retailers including travelchair.com) is quite durable, weatherproof, and comfy. Though not cheap, Travel Chair seems to provide support for their products forever perhaps making them a very good value. Watch REI (and others) for sales, they do get well discounted and a couple e-tailers on eBay often offer super values (I assume they are legit).
NOTE: I buy a chaise lounger pad from Lowes/Home Depot/Menard/etc. after the season (that means right now- August) for about $15 making these types of chairs really sumptuous.

Can you comfortably sit at the LaFuma chair without having to recline? Would it be possible to use it like a chair and be able to type at a table?
Thanks,
Robbie

Hi Robbie,
I would have to answer "No". They tend to push the head forward too much for sitting straight up. Now if you want to sit forward in the seat and not touch your head to the back, you could type at a table. Our opinion is that they really are for reclining.

Linda,
Looks like I can save some money for a while until our other chairs wear out. Those loungers sure look nice.
Howard probably has it 'down' so he can recline and type on his laptop...I don't bend that way.

Here is the link to the recliner page of the LaFuma website: http://www.lafuma.com/lafuma/us/default.asp. There is a store locator, several different styles to choose from, and an accessories link.
Just ordered two LaFuma recliners....they are on sale right now through LaFuma's Web site.

NOT HAPPY!!!!
Went to LaFuma site (Niches) and ordered 1 lounger. On the site there were 4 RSX XL recliners to choose from, the first being AGAVE MESH...we wanted mesh so went to order 2.....but only 1 available. So since they were on sale for $159 and FREE shipping I ordered the one thinking they would get more in later. I got a confirmation on my order for my RSX XL AGAVE. Next day I went on site and the same AGAVE MESH recliner said backorder so I called. They were back ordered til the end of April or first of May......OK.....we aren't leaving til September, so I ordered another one. Email comes back, so sorry we are backordered on the Agave (mesh part not added now), but we have in stock an AGAVE PADDED chair.....I emailed back, no thanks, I want the mesh recliner and please affirm I will get the back ordered recliner for the $159 plus free shipping. The answer came as, "We just got your recliner in with our shipment and so will ship to you as of 2-28. WHAT SERVICE!!!!
Today I get my first recliner.....AGAVE PADDED.....not what I wanted, call the 1-800-882-9096 number and they tell me.....we've never had a mesh recliner in AGAVE, only the padded one, you must have ordered wrong.....by husband and I both looked at the site, both conferred this would be the one we'd order so when we camp it will be easily dried when it rains. And guess what, I go back to the site and NO AGAVE MESH RSX XL is even listed on backorder, not listed at all. They will replace it with a Forsest Batyline which is their mesh recliner, but I have to return it and pay for the shipping.....guess the one I'll get tomorrow or the next day will be the same padded one.
Guess who couldn't download the order cuz her printer is on the fritz!!! ME of course. But I do have proof as they emailed me....so I returned their emails to them.....not once did Jennifer mention AGAVE MESH recliner, only referred to a replacement to the AGAVE I ordered, gee we have the AGAVE PADDED in stock now. I WANT MESH FABRIC (padded do look comfortable though), we have a space problem and they are smaller in width and easier to clean up, afterall we do have a dog that likes to jump up on things. Why does this stuff happen to me??? I downloaded the picture of the AGAVE MESH and was thrilled with it, if only one, heck I didn't even look to a FORREST BATYLINE (which is mesh fabric), cuz I ordered mesh!!!
So after talking on the phone and getting irate, I re-emailed them a request to send me a FREE shipping label since it's their mistake, not mine, and then I will order a FOREST BATYLINE (2 actually). Am I going to get stuck with the chairs or have to pay shipping....WHY ME!!!!

Last year I bought 2 loungers that seemed essentially the same as those sold at Camping World at Wal-Mart for $50 a piece. We love them! They're comfortable and haven't started to rust as of yet. (We do keep them out of the weather.)
I checked Wal-Mart's site, and didn't see them this year. However, I have found comparable loungers at Target for $79.99: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_38/602-8515309-6614267?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0001LASDM (check their website, as other colors are available) and K-Mart for $69.99:http://www.kmart.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=153185&No=60&Ntt=patio+furniture&Ntk=All&Nao=60&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=466&Nty=1

For those that are not familiar with REI, that is Recreation Equipment, Inc. Their website is http://www.rei.com/. They are a consumer cooperative which is a rather interesting concept. Here is the link to their chair page which includes both LaFuma and the Lounge Lizard: http://www.rei.com/online/store/Search?storeId=8000&seq=21&query=*&cat=4500551&vcat=REI_SEARCH:P2.
