10 Gloster Sun Loungers To Complement Your Outdoor Space

Having a sun lounger in your outdoor space can turn it into a luxurious and peaceful oasis where you can unwind and soak up the sun whenever you want.

Given the unpredictable weather in the UK and the short-spanned Summer days, it would be smart to search for the best sun lounger for your garden before time so that when the warmer days finally come, you're all set to put up your feet and relax.

When it comes to outdoor furniture brands and sun loungers in particular, Gloster is always at the top of the list for us because of the following reasons:

• Expert craftsmanship is an essential part of Gloster's identity. Unlike most brands today, their furniture is not mass-produced - instead, every aspect, from the curves of the edges to the connections of the joints, has been meticulously crafted by human hands. Gloster employees' expertise and abilities are the driving force behind the furniture's excellence and superiority.
• Gloster is a leading global manufacturer of high-end outdoor furniture that brings together exceptional comfort, quality, and design. The brand has been in operation for over 60 years and is based in South East Asia, where it has its own factory that merges traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
• Good manufacturing and good designs go hand in hand. Gloster recognises this and is known for its collaborations with some of the world's best designers. Interestingly, the role of the designer is not just limited to providing the design concept. Instead, once the design is approved, the designers visit the factory and work in close collaboration with the cratfsmen to ensure that every detail is taken care of. 
• Gloster is most popular for its teak wood products, and all their teak is sustainably sourced from Indonesian plantations. 
• Almost all the sun loungers below are customisable in terms of the fabric used. More than 35 different types of fabrics are available and they are broadly classified into three groups: outdoor performance, soft touch and water resistant. 
• All their sun loungers come with adjustable backrests with a minimum of four different positions. 

Considering all these great things about the brand and our shared love for lounging, we decided to pick some of our favourite Gloster sun loungers and talk a bit about what makes them so special.

1 - 180 - Best Stacking Sun Lounger with Arms

This is one of the only two sun loungers with arms on our list today, as most people prefer armless ones. It features a minimalist style but the big wheels on the feet make it an instant eye-catcher. 

If you're short on space or just prefer storing your sun lounger once the season is over, you can easily stack these loungers together.

The combination of the aluminium frame, teak wood platform and upholstered fabric seat gives it a very unique and inviting look.

It is not just luxurious but also practical, making it a versatile and functional choice for contemporary outdoor spaces.

9 - Sway

In outdoor settings, we frequently spend more time unwinding and lounging, and our meals tend to be leisurely affairs. So, why not ensure maximum comfort in these situations? With the Sway sun lounger, Danish designer Henrik Pedersen has masterfully blended a sleek teak frame with a functional sling seat and back, providing a very natural, spring-like comfort, despite the remarkably slim profile.

10 - Saranac

Mark Gabbertas had a unique vision for the design of Saranac collection, which involved blending unparalleled comfort with a timeless aesthetic.

He wanted to create a design with a subtle allure that would make people feel comfortable and at ease right away and there's no doubt that he succeeded in fully captivating this concept with the Saranac lounger.
