A beach or sun lounger is a mostly non-adjustable variant of the deck chair with only a slight or no inclination of the upper part.

application
The deck chair was originally a deck chair for travelers on liner and cruise ships . It is used to relax and is easy to transport and stack. The classic deck chair can only be locked in one position. Later, the carrying bar leading to the rear was lengthened and provided with cross braces, so that several sitting positions could now be assumed. A removable footrest also contributes to the comfort.
