Product specifications

The Spring-Action Rocking Technology offers a smooth rocking action on any surface. This makes the GCI Outdoor Freestyle rocker model stand out.

Another peculiarity of this chair is the patented Easy-fold Technology. It allows you to fold it open and close easily and safely due to the padded armrests, built-in beverage holders and a convenient carry holder.

Unfortunately, we cannot say this chair is our top pick. The lightweight steel construction definitely allows you to easily carry it on longer distances.

The problem is that the steel material makes it heat up. So unless you are planning to use this chair in colder climate areas, we do not recommend it.

6. Ostrich Lounge Chaise – Comes With a Face Cavity

Product specifications

The last item on our least is not exactly a chair, but if you are planning to spend a few days resting on the beach, then our Lounge Chaise is definitely worth checking out. The best thing about it is the patented open/close face cavity, along with arm slots and a pillow.

It is made of heavy-duty polyester and white powdered steel. The lounge chaise offers the maximum level of comfort because it can be folded in 3 different positions. It is portable and includes a carrying strap.

The lounge chaise doesn’t contain any pockets, so if you don’t have any other place to hide your phone and wallet, there is a chance you might leave something on the beach or someone could even steal it.
