Super Comfortable Portable Chaise for Sunning?

April 17, 2008 12:01 PM

I've moved from a claustro apartment into a place with a (small) backyard, I have a full ipod with great headphones, and I've got a stack of books to read. It's time to kick back and suntan (quickly, before the really heavy rays kick in in July/August!). So...can anyone recommend a seriously comfortable yet reasonably portable (must store in garage between uses) chaisse lounge...or other outdoor reclining furniture appropriate for sunning?

Dude, fuck a chaise lounge, seriously. Get a hammock. If there's no trees at appropriate distances to hang it, get a stand, too. They break down pretty easily.

Either a Coleman fold-up cot or now I see there are chaise-style travelchairs.

The Hammacher Schlemmer catalog has this folding hammock stand and this portable hammock.

I just got one of these relaxers from Bed Bath & Beyond. Really comfortable, and folds up quickly and easily. I have the one with the wooden arms (and cupholder!)

Response by poster: can I tan my back in a hammock? I never "flipped over" in a hammock before...

Thanks, rhizome, will check it out.

I'll go look at BBB tomorrow, candyland, thanks. They used to carry this flimsy-looking $39 chair that was unbelievably comfortable.
