Why buy a garden armchair?

An outdoor armchair is always a welcome addition to your garden if you want to create a little paradise perfect for relaxation. Comfortably settled on the padded seat of your chair, you can fully enjoy warm afternoons or mild summer evenings.

By choosing a garden armchair, you won't worry about it wearing out due to weather conditions, as these models are specially designed to withstand the climate challenges they may face. Provided, of course, that you choose them wisely. To help you do so, here are all the elements you need to know to select the right garden armchair.

How to choose a comfortable armchair for your garden, terrace, or balcony?

One of the first criteria you should pay attention to when looking for garden armchairs to furnish your terrace or balcony is the size of the seats. Indeed, each armchair has specific dimensions allowing you to choose the model most suited to your space, your table (if you wish to create an outdoor dining area), and especially your seating preferences.

The seat depth plays an essential role in your daily comfort. A seat that's too shallow or too deep can quickly become uncomfortable during long relaxation sessions. The ideal depth is between 45 and 60 cm to provide good back support.

Armrests also deserve your attention, especially if you wish to slide your garden chairs under your table top. But the most important factor to consider remains your comfort: armrests positioned about twenty centimeters above the seat help relieve your shoulders without constraining your movements. You just need to verify that the height of the armrests from the ground is less than the height of the lower part of your garden table.

Finally, if you intend to install several seats on a small balcony or terrace, choose outdoor armchairs that fit in the space where you plan to place them while still allowing you to move around freely.

Different types of outdoor armchairs

When searching for the armchair(s) you plan to install in your garden, you've certainly noticed that there is a wide variety of models from which you can choose. Indeed, the term "garden armchair" refers to a set of seats that share a similar function: allowing you to relax in complete tranquility outside your home. Among them, you'll find:

• The garden lounge armchair: low seat and slightly reclined backrest are the characteristics of this piece of furniture that most often accompanies a garden sofa. It's perfect for enjoying long conversations with friends over drinks.
• The outdoor dining armchair: this seat is not strictly designed for relaxation, but rather for enjoying delicious outdoor meals that inevitably punctuate our summers. Therefore, its height will be quite similar to that of a dining room chair to allow you to sit at the table and eat comfortably.
• The relaxing garden armchair: its name won't mislead you, this model is perfect if you're looking to relax, bask in the sun, or read a good thriller, as its headrest, adjustable backrest, and adjustable footrest allow you to adopt the most comfortable position to enjoy your moments of relaxation.
• The rocking chair: the deep seat and rocking motion of this outdoor rocking chair are perfect for enjoying lazy afternoons.
• The hanging chair: often more enveloping than a rocking chair, the swinging motion is also the strength of this model, which can be suspended from a beam, a sturdy branch, or the stand that accompanies it.

What material to choose for an outdoor armchair?

Another essential element to consider when choosing your garden armchair is the material from which it is made. Your decision will primarily be guided by your aesthetic preferences, since all outdoor armchairs are designed and treated to withstand weather conditions and UV rays. Nevertheless, certain materials will require more or less maintenance to keep their original condition and especially to extend their longevity.

• Wooden garden armchair: a versatile material, wood blends easily into any outdoor style and adds warmth. This is an option to consider if you're looking for an armchair capable of withstanding the test of time. However, pay close attention to the type of wood you wish to buy, as some wood varieties require a lot of attention to maintain their luster. If you're looking for low-maintenance seats with a long lifespan, opt for models made of acacia, teak, or black locust, which are rot-proof. You will still need to apply vegetable oil once or twice a year.
• Plastic and resin garden armchair: PVC and resin are two other options available to you if you need easy-to-maintain garden armchairs, since apart from dusting and occasional cleaning, your seats will remain in good condition. For PVC armchairs, choose a good quality model so it can withstand the weight of its occupants and potential impacts.
• Metal garden armchair: more understated lines for a modern design or forged material for a more retro look, metal is a very popular material in the world of garden furniture as it is naturally resistant to moisture in the case of aluminum. If you opt for garden armchairs made of iron or steel, make sure they have undergone anti-corrosion treatment.
