FAQ
LAFUMA MOBILIER folding recliners with clips are very practical, as the fabric can be removed more easily than with a lace model. This makes it easier to clean the fabric or change it to extend the life of the product. Comfort is guaranteed, whatever the clip model you choose. But it's essential to be aware of the differences between them, so you can choose the one that's best suited to your needs.
- The RClip is a fabric system suspended by 3 clips on each side of the backrest and 18 clips on each side of the seat. Although it's the cheapest on our website, we'd like to emphasise its value for money, as it offers ideal comfort while being light to handle. Our teams have designed it to provide just the right amount of support, so you can relax with your lower back in the Zero Gravity position.
- RSXA Clip folding recliners feature ergonomic armrests. The 8 elastomer clips on each side of the backrest support the back right up to shoulder level, providing greater comfort and better back support than the model previously shown.
- The Futura model makes it easier to adjust the position of the chair, thanks in particular to its fixed armrests. The footrest bar is also protected. The feet also have four non-slip glides, so the seat remains stable when you change position.
The EVOLUTION model can be seen as the top-of-the-range clip model presented by LAFUMA MOBILIER. Its design is refined and elegant. In terms of comfort, it is not to be outdone, since the numerous attachment points between the fabric and the frame make it comfortable for tall people. This fabric suspension system also eliminates the need for crosspieces at the top of the backrest and the bottom of the leg rest.
The LAFUMA MOBILIER zero gravity recliner with laces is an iconic model that has crossed generations. It was the first system to make it possible to offer a zero gravity recliner with the comfort you're probably familiar with. To hold the fabric in place on the tubes, a lacing system links the two parts of the recliner, providing a very flexible hold.
On a Relax clip-on recliner, a multitude of tried and tested elastomer clips are used to suspend the fabric. This is an exclusive system patented by the brand. So it's easy to remove the cover for cleaning. You can also take advantage of this simplicity if you want to change the cover after a few years' use. In practical terms, you won't have to worry about tying the cover with a shoelace, an operation that can be time-consuming. All you have to do is position the clips in a few moments.
What's more, for the LAFUMA MOBILIER teams, it was essential that the clip-on recliner offered even better comfort than the emblematic lace-up recliner. You love it for its ability to distribute your body weight perfectly. The clip-on system offers greater firmness, and seems to surpass the comfort provided by lace-up recliners. So it's all a question of taste.
Both types of fabric are still available on our website, as are spare parts for both models. This means that fans of the lace-up recliner can continue to extend the life of their favourite recliner. If you're considering a new purchase, the clip-on recliner has some excellent arguments to convince you in terms of practicality, comfort and also durability, thanks to the greater longevity of the clips compared with laces, which can become slack over the years.
Note also that most of our lace-up recliners can be fitted with clip-on covers.
Over the years, and in response to feedback from our customers, we have developed a range of accessories for recliners. On our site, you can find, for example:
- The recycled cup holder, which clips directly onto the recliner. Its oval shape looks like a small shelf on which to place personal items such as drink, keys or a mobile phone. The cup holder provides ideal stability, even when the chair moves as you sit down or stand up. However, be sure to remove this accessory before storing or folding your chair.
- The sunshade, ideal for protection from the sun. It attaches to any relax chair except the Relax Evolution, using a screw system. The parasol is anti-UV, to protect your face from the sun's rays. It can also be adjusted to follow the path of the sun throughout the day, to guarantee optimum coverage.
- The Relax towel, specifically designed to be placed on a relax chair. It puts an end to the problem of a towel that doesn't stay in place properly, thanks to its flap, which is positioned at the top of the backrest to cover the recliner perfectly. There's also a version for Relax XL recliners.
- The Relax blanket, designed on the same principle as the towel. It can be fixed to the top of the relax to hold it in place. Wider on either side of the recliner, it lets you wrap yourself up to keep warm. Ideal for cooler evenings or cosy indoor use!
- The Relax transport cover, to protect your folding recliner when you're on the move. It folds away easily to take up as little space as possible when not in use.
- The Relax storage cover, to protect your relaxer from the elements, particularly when stored outdoors.
All the recliners offered by LAFUMA MOBILIER can be tilted to zero gravity. This guarantee of comfort is undoubtedly one of our brand's hallmarks when it comes to outdoor furniture. With a wide choice of models to suit all uses and needs, certain criteria can help you choose the recliner that's right for you.
First of all, you can choose between three types of armrest: the R Clip, the RSXA and the FUTURA. The RClip armrest is plastic and adjustable, while the RSXA armrest is ergonomically designed to offer all the comfort expected of this type of chair. It follows the movement of the chair as you recline it. The Futura armrest is fixed, making it easier to use.
You can also choose your recliner according to the finishes on offer. Models offering the best value for money (R Clip) have fewer elastomer clips. Top-of-the-range models not only have armrests and more clips for better back support, they also have reinforced protection, particularly on the glides.
You can also choose your Zero gravity recliner according to the fabric or mattress it comes with. Different models offer different levels of comfort. In addition, some models with BeComfort® fabric are particularly renowned for their UV resistance. Others are recommended for inclement weather, particularly those with water-repellent fabrics.
Finally, it's a good idea to choose your recliner according to your build. All our products can take a weight of up to 140 kg, thanks to the use of robust steel with a diameter of 20 mm. On the other hand, the XL models, with their greater length and wider seat, are better suited to people over 1.80 m tall. The EVOLUTION model will also appeal to taller people, as there are no bars in the upper back or lower legs, which could potentially hinder taller people.
The zero gravity position has made LAFUMA MOBILIER a benchmark for comfort since 1954. This position is made possible by our recliners, thanks to a precise tilt of 127 degrees. This reclining position requires the legs to be raised.
The benefits of this position are now widely recognised. Many sportsmen and women, as well as health professionals, use it and recommend it. Pregnant women also generally appreciate the comfort provided by what might be described as a perfect recline.
One of the main benefits of the zero gravity position is a reduction in the pressure on the discs of the spine when standing or sitting. The weight of the body presses on the spinal discs, but also on the nape of the neck. Reclining to 127 degrees relieves the body of this feeling of pressure, for ideal relaxation.
The benefits are also felt in the back muscles. Here too, the position helps to release any tension you may be feeling, by relaxing the muscles.
The Zero gravity recliner cannot be presented as a solution to back pain. It is, however, an ally in temporarily relieving tension. It's also a must-have for sports enthusiasts looking for a good chair to help them recover.
Whether you're taking a nap, relaxing and unwinding, reading a book, watching a video on your smartphone, or recovering from a sports session, the zero gravity position will provide you with an ultra-comfortable position. Millions of people have already adopted it, so try it yourself!
Our armchairs are designed to provide you with all the comfort you could possibly need for both outdoor and indoor use. The cushioned models provide a soft welcome, for an absolutely perfect moment of relaxation. Some of our armchairs can be put in the Zero-Gravity position, an ideal position for releasing muscular tension in the back. The comfort of a quilted fabric is a real plus.
What's more, compared with a technical fabric, a padded recliner has a cosy feel. In terms of both aesthetics and usability, it can be used on many occasions.
Whether you're reading a book, relaxing or watching television, there are plenty of times when a cushioned recliner is ideal.
What's more, our LAFUMA MOBILIER reclining chairs are practical, as they fold up and store away very easily. So they're perfect for small spaces.
Finally, the fact that they are foldable means that users can take them anywhere in the house, in the garden or on holiday. Users can choose from the following mattresses:
- Aircomfort®, made from permeable materials, ideal for use in summer, or if the chair is also used outdoors.
- BeComfort®, a triple-layer mattress with high UV resistance.
LAFUMA MOBILIER outdoor armchairs are designed to withstand all outdoor conditions. It is nevertheless advisable to protect the chairs to prolong their life as much as possible.
When garden furniture is not in use, for example, it should be stored in a sheltered, dry place. If you have a garden shed with sufficient ventilation, for example, you can store your furniture there when it's not in use during the winter.
For those who can't store their outdoor chair in an enclosed area, there are alternatives. For example, you can use a waterproof cover to protect the reclining chair from dampness, but also from the sun's rays.
Ideally, however, you should use the perfectly fitting covers sold on our website. These have been tested to protect your favourite garden furniture. You'll benefit from optimum UV protection, effectively protecting the fabric of your armchairs and preventing dirt and damage to the frame.
We also strongly recommend that you make sure your reclining chair is completely dry before covering it with a tarpaulin or using one of our protective covers.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity and other external factors such as dust can cause long-term damage to outdoor chairs. However, our products are among the most robust on the market. They come with a 5-year guarantee, excluding the professional range. If you have a problem with a product that is still under guarantee, please contact our customer service department with your purchase invoice and photos.
If one of the parts or the fabric of your armchair wears out, you'll find everything you need in terms of spare parts, directly available on our site, to repair or extend the life of your product.
Sun and humidity seem to be garden furniture's worst enemies. At LAFUMA MOBILIER, we have chosen materials that are UV and water resistant. Our armchairs are therefore designed to withstand outdoor use, whatever the weather.
Our fabrics are resistant to water and sun rays. When it comes to humidity, you can choose between permeable fabrics, which dry quickly, and water-repellent fabrics, which prevent humidity from soaking in.
The metal parts of our outdoor chairs are also made from top-quality steel with a protective epoxy treatment. As well as offering ideal strength for regular use, they are designed to be UV and water resistant.
On the other hand, it is not advisable to leave outdoor furniture exposed to continuous sunlight and dampness. When you're not using your armchairs, don't hesitate to winterise them. You can choose to store them in a dry place away from light. If you don't have a garden shed or garage, you can use our storage or transport cover, which is available on our website and guarantee optimum protection from the sun rays.
If, over time and despite careful use, your outdoor chair shows premature wear, you can contact our customer service department. If your purchase is less than 5 years old and you have the invoice for your purchase in the shop, your chair is probably still under guarantee. Please note that customers on our website are automatically registered for the 5-year guarantee.
You can also count on our wide range of spare parts to extend the life of your favourite armchair, such as glides, which are wear parts. You'll also find all sorts of technical fabrics and headrests to give your outdoor furniture a new lease of life.
Our recliner chair models
What is a recliner chair?
Are you dreaming of a comfy chair for relaxing both indoors and outdoors? Then the recliner chair is the seat you need. It’s a chair that tilts, by hand or with an electric motor, for an angle designed to relieve your legs and back. The multi-position chair, we invented in 1962, is the pioneer of the recliner chair. Since then, our models have evolved to offer yet more comfort and durability, suitable for every indoor and outdoor style.
Why choose a LAFUMA MOBILIER recliner chair?
Enjoy a relaxing moment in our recliner chairs
The first advantage of the LAFUMA MOBILER recliner chair is of course the unique comfort it provides. The seat back, with manual tilt and soft slide system, can be adjusted to the zero gravity position. This position is ideal for the body; it provides an angle of 127 degrees, perfect for improving blood circulation throughout the body, and relieving the back, legs and neck. Thanks to an ingenious fixing system for the fabric, your back is perfectly supported and your body weight ideally distributed. The pressure areas of the body are soothed and your neck is delicately held by the recliner chair's adjustable or integral head cushion.
For greater comfort, we have also developed our own system for attaching the fabric of our recliners. Clips, instead of traditional elastic, provide a better hold and firmer comfort.
You’ve got it: with this chair, you can count on exceptional comfort and enjoy soothing moments of relaxation.
