Is Lafuma a good brand?
Lafuma is growing to be one of the most reliable and trusted leisure brands in Europe. They create high quality products that are designed to last. Most of their products come with a 5-year guarantee, and good availability on spares and replacements such as replacement lacing cords, to keep your Lafuma chairs and tables going for longer when faced with everyday wear and tear.
Are Lafuma chairs weatherproof?
Yes. Lafuma chairs are designed to withstand rain with quick drying, breathable padding, and fabric, as well as withstand sunlight with UV resistant fabrics and paintwork. Although if you want to go a step further to protect your chairs, Lafuma have covers to protect you chairs while traveling, or in storage.
Are Lafuma Chairs worth it?
Yes. They may be more expensive upfront but in the long run, they last so much longer than other branded and off-brand chairs. They also really know their stuff, while a lot of other recliners are copycats, Lafuma was one of the first recliners with the multi position recliner, and originated the zero gravity comfort long before NASA popularised the name. The chairs are high-quality and designed to last for years, with low-cost spares and replacements like their lacing cords, which help to extend their lifespan even further.
How do you close a Lafuma Chair?
There are four simple steps for folding up your Lafuma reclining chair:
- Hold the backrest of the chair with one hand (above the head cushion)
- Take hold of the end of one of the armrests with the other hand
- Gently close the backrest and the armrest
- Then press downwards on the backrest of the chair, to fold up the leg rest
Can Lafuma chairs be left outside?
Lafuma recommends that you put them away after each use as this can help to extend their lifespan, but the simple answer is yes, they can be left outside in the summer season. Lafuma chairs are designed for the outdoors, with most of the padded chairs features a breathable quick dry pad, and the framework and fabrics using UV resistant technology to keep their colours sharp. However, it is never recommended that you leave Lafuma chairs out over winter as both the wet and cold could damage the chairs with prolonged exposure.
