KingCamp Sun Lounger with Face Hole (up to 180 kg) – 5-position folding tanning chair for garden and beach

The essentials

If you’re after a folding sun lounger that’s built to feel sturdy and adjustable, the KingCamp Sun Lounger with Face Hole is designed around a pretty specific use case: lying face down for tanning (thanks to the integrated face hole), then reclining for reading or a nap when the mood changes. It’s the kind of chair that can earn its place on a patio, at the beach, or even as a spare for guests.

On paper it leans more “practical heavy-duty” than “lightweight leisure”. The standout promise is a high load capacity (up to 180 kg) supported by a reinforced steel frame. Comfort is handled with a body-contouring 600D Oxford fabric, plus an adjustable headrest/pillow and a side pocket for small essentials.

One thing to keep in mind: this isn’t marketed as a fully recline-to-comfortable-everyone zero-pressure lounge. It’s most compelling if you like the prone (face-down) tanning position or you’re specifically going to use the 5 backrest positions.

What it’s for (and what it does well)

The face hole design is the main reason this sun lounger makes sense if you enjoy tanning. Instead of forcing your neck into an awkward bend, the integrated opening and arm slots help you keep a more natural spine alignment while lying face down. That’s a straightforward benefit for longer outdoor sessions, and it also makes it easier to transition to “just chilling” with your phone or reading.

In everyday use, you can imagine setting it up on the lawn in the afternoon: unfold it, lock the backrest into the angle you want, then angle yourself so your face sits comfortably in the opening. When you’re done with tanning, move the backrest through the positions—down towards a more relaxed recline or fully flat for a rest.

Comfort and adjustment you can actually feel

The backrest adjustment is a 5-position system with anti-pinch safety design. The range is described from 120° for reading, through to 180° for a fully flat position. That’s helpful because it’s not only about “sit up or lie down”, it’s meant to cover the in-between moments.

The fabric is 600D Oxford and described as contouring to the body for breathable support. There’s also an adjustable sponge pillow for soft neck or lumbar support—so the lounger isn’t relying purely on the frame and fabric to do all the work.

Worth noting: comfort is fairly subjective. If you prefer a very thick, pillow-top style sunbed feel, this may come across more supportive than plush.

Stability, build, and the adjustment mechanism

For buyers who worry about wobbly folding loungers, this model leans into stability. It’s built on a reinforced 22 mm powder-coated steel frame, and the description also mentions an upgraded U-shaped slot and secure locking system intended to keep things steady when you adjust the backrest.

The base is reinforced too, and it’s presented as reliable on lawns, sand and patios without wobbling. That’s the sort of claim you should take in context: outdoor surfaces can vary a lot, but the overall design intent is clearly “stable when you reposition”.

If you’re someone who frequently adjusts the angle throughout the day, the locking approach matters. If you only want one fixed lying position and never touch the adjustment, you may not notice as much of this advantage.

Storage and practical extras

This lounger doesn’t just focus on lying down. There’s an adjustable headrest/pillow and a multi-layer side pocket for items like a phone, water bottle, or magazines. It’s the sort of small detail that can make a difference—especially if you don’t want to keep reaching for your stuff.

On a busy day at the beach or garden, having the essentials within arm’s reach is genuinely useful. It turns the lounger from a “place to lie” into a more complete setup for the session.

Folding, transport, and setup

Assembly is described as quick, with an unfold time “under a minute” and a trifold fold style. The open size is listed as 190 x 59 cm. Folded, it’s given as 79 x 62 x 15 cm.

Transport is supported by dual carry handles and an adjustable shoulder strap, with built-in hooks to keep it closed. It’s also stated to weigh 6.4 kg, which is relatively manageable for moving between a shed, patio, or boot.

The only real limitation here is that foldability always brings trade-offs: you’ll want to make sure the locking positions are fully secured each time, especially if you’re using it on uneven ground.

Is it worth it?

It’s a good fit if you want a folding sun lounger that’s designed for face-down tanning, with a 5-position adjustable backrest for reading and resting. The up-to-180 kg load capacity and reinforced steel frame make it especially interesting if you’re tired of flimsy loungers or you’re buying for someone who needs more stability.

It may not suit you if you’re primarily after an ultra-cushioned, slow-sinking deckchair feel, or if you don’t plan to use the face hole. In that case, other simpler loungers might feel more straightforward (and you could end up paying for features you won’t use).
