Foldable Recliner Camping Lounge Chair with Footrest FC 108 - Padded Beige with Side Pocket

An extended footrest is what separates a lounger from a camping chair, and it changes how long you can comfortably sit. With your legs supported and the backrest reclined, your weight spreads across the whole chair instead of loading your lower back — which is the difference between twenty minutes and an afternoon with a book. The padded beige fabric seat is properly cushioned rather than a single taut layer of canvas, the black metal X-frame gives it a stable base on grass or gravel, and it folds flat for a car boot. A side storage pocket holds a phone, a book or snacks within reach, which matters most in exactly the position where getting up is the last thing you want.

Buying guide

Decide first whether you want a chair or a lounger, because they suit different uses. A recliner with a footrest is for sitting still for a long time — reading, resting at a campsite, an afternoon in the garden — and it takes more space both in use and in the boot. If you are moving around, cooking or fishing, an upright folding chair is more practical and packs smaller. Set it up on the most level ground you can find, since a reclined chair on a slope shifts your weight to one side, and check the fabric is fully seated on the frame before putting your weight in it. Use the pocket for your phone rather than a pocket you are lying on. Fold it away dry — damp fabric packed in a bag is what causes mildew and the musty smell that never quite leaves — and keep it out of prolonged direct sun, which weakens any outdoor fabric over seasons.

How it compares

Against the FC 104 high-back and FC 107 low-back chairs, this adds a footrest and a reclining backrest for long periods of sitting, at the cost of packed size. Compared with a camp bed, this sits you up to read rather than lying flat. Against a garden lounger, this folds into a car boot. Against a picnic blanket, a padded reclining chair is far kinder to your back.
