Thanks everyone of all the places we have just brought some from joules just saw them when buying a jumper really comfy so will just have to see if they are good to last
We've spent the last fortnight trying out chairs & have ended up with 2 each of the Royal Madrid & Lafuma Transatube. We tried out many & would've been happy to shell out for couple of fully grown Lafumas, but didn't feel our seat bones were any more comfortable on them.
I have to agree with others, about Lafuma chairs, we got 2 Champs Elips Padded in Green, back in 2008 from Riversway, in an EOL sale at £30 each, which at the time I thought was a lot to pay for a camping chair, since we were replacing our worn out Tesco £5.99 chairs.
The Lafuma's have served us well, and despite being full size, pack down quite well, and when in use are uber comfotable.
Got two Lafuma Cham Elips XL delivered this morning. They look nice, and are very comfortable, and am now looking to getting the foot stool attachment to go with them.
I did notice in one of the bigger Tesco stores near us that they are selling chairs which look fairly similar to some of the Lafuma's, may be worth dropping in to try them out for comfort, I think they were about £35 - £40 each.

Lafuma chairs may cost a lot but ive had mine for 7 years now its used all through the year not just for camping. I have a bad back so if im going to freinds with low chairs that I cant use then my lafuma is great.
Whatever type you choose, be sure to try them out before you buy them. A proper fit is more important than a particular style or brand.
I love my fold-up umbrella-style chair. My husband hates it; he's too tall. The only thing that works for him is a director's chair - but not any director's chair. Complete Family Camping Guide
