Fresh off record-breaking temperatures, the UK is set to experience yet another heatwave – so there’s no better excuse to head into the garden and soak up the balmy weather.
When making the very most of the British summer, investing in decent outdoor furniture is often a simple way to enhance your hours spent alfresco – and when it comes to affordable options, the budget buy queen, Aldi, never disapoints.
No stranger to thrifty but stylish garden furniture, the supermarket has already made waves with its sell-out hanging egg chair and heatwave-appropriate gazebo.
And now, re-joining the roster, is its luxe rocking sun lounger. Markedly modern with a sleek silhouette, this garden throne is perfect for a spot of patio lazing.
While we’ve not reviewed the chair ourselves, the hugely competitive price tag paired with the upcoming current heatwave means it will likely sell out. So if like us you’re looking to drain every last drop from the British summer, take a pew as we explain everything you need to know about the swish sun lounger.

Giving us serious sun-lounger envy, this chair will actually rock back and forth, which is perfect if you’re whiling away hot summer days. Comfort shouldn’t be compromised either, thanks to its padded arm and removable head rest.
With its steel tube frame and durable fabric cover, Aldi claims it to be weather and UV resistant, meaning it should hold its own once winter rolls around.
