Coleman sling chairs are the best budget ones I've found for comfort and longevity. They pack very small too. Prices vary wildly but you should be able to get one for less than £40.

What's your budget and how much space do you have to carry them? Makes a massive difference to recommendations.

I would Recommend the Outwell Goya Chairs (£52 for 2), as someone who is on the large size, these support my weight, and and are comfortable.

We bought ours in 2012 and are still going strong. you used to be able to get 4 chairs and a Rupert table for £100, but the best I can find at the moment is the above link.

We tried a few and bought Royal folding chairs at £20 each - because they were the most comfortable!

For many years we bought cheap and ended up buying again. We bit the bullet a few years ago and bought some Lafuma chairs and I suspect they'll outlast me.

We bought some from a shop in Sudbury, can't remember the name but I think the locals will know where I mean, £25 each and are fairly light and well made.

Lafuma are fantastic, last forever and very comfortable. You'll sometimes find them on offer.

For comfort I would recommend Airgo Curve chairs from Go Outdoors. They are a little larger than the normal folding chairs but really comfortable.

Yep vote for Lafuma here, we bought two of the Lafuma Champs Elips Padded Green std size although also available in XL.

Got them back in 2008 from what was Riversway at Preston on clearance at £30 each, they have certainley stood the test of time, with only slight fading to the light green fabric, probably due to over 6 fortnight's spent in the South of France during July, mechanically they are still as when new.


Very light chairs for there size, and pack remarkably well despite there bulk.

Called the Champ Elips Air now, a snip at £110 each!

I am sure that they will see us both out!

I beg to differ! The Intex inflatable chairs are the best we've had.

Dont buy a chair without sitting in one first, we looked at several and narrowed it down to two.
Went and sat in them and ended up buying something else as then two we chose on paper were so uncomfortable...
A cheap uncomfortable chair that is unusable is not really that cheap if you have to buy twicd to get one that you actually like to sit in.
So my advise is to try before you buy, you may spend more, but you may save money too as an expensive chair may not be comfy to your derrier...

Love my caravan too much...
