Quite simply the best folding chair for camping.I have been camping for many years and have suffered lots of uncomfortable folding chairs in that time. After getting fed up with back ache from the uncomfortable cheap chairs, I swore I would find something better. My search led me to purchase this Coleman Sling chair and an Outwell Goya.I have always found that the design of the cheap camping chairs to be uncomfortable for 2 reasons. Firstly the backs are too upright, practically 90 degrees. Secondly, with wear over time, the seat starts to sag meaning the back of your thighs end up pressing against the diagonal cross beams at the front of the chair.So,

Like others who have reviewed these chairs we were after something for our motorhome so weight and the size of the carry bag were important. Before we bought these we visited several camping and outdoor shops and sat in loads of chairs, picked them up, tried to fold them up. Many were just plain uncomfortable, some were enormous when 'folded' and many were surprisingly heavy.So based on other reviews of these Coleman Sling chairs we decided to order a couple, we could always send them back.They are great. Most importantly they are the most comfortable of all the chairs we tried. They are fairly light and fit into a long but narrow carry-bag. Just perfect for us,

I bought this chair after reading the reviews on Amazon. It turned up very promptly, within two days. I used it the weekend after when I accompanied a group doing their Silver D of E expedition. At the check points a good chair is essential! I found it to be, as per the other reviews, comfortable and warm to use. In fact, the other people on the trip soon started to pinch it off me whenever they could. However, after several uses, I have started to wonder about the build quality as some of the joints are getting a bit loose and the plastic feet have fallen off, meaning that it sinks into the ground on the wet grassy places where we've been this summer, which is why I've knocked the one star off.To sum up then,

Expensive and quite bulky and heavy but the best chair ever in terms of function. If you are on the large side and/or have difficulty getting out of low chairs this one is just perfect. The back reclines slightly and leaning back is really comfortable. However if you want to sit up at a table the sturdiness and balance is such that you can shift your weight forward and sit upright comfortably. Yhe arms feel really strong and well sturdy enough for you to stand upright by pressing down hard on them, unlike most folding chairs. A really strong comfortable bit of kit, bigger than average but still easy to throw in to the back of the car. And not really that difficult to get back in to the bag.

OK - I don't normally bother to do these but other helpful reviewers helped me find this chair so.............Opened it, sat in it, went to order another one - it's great. Really comfy and roomy, especially for the larger person! But couldn't get the kids out of it either. Seems very well made. Very comfy, does NOT get you behind the knees like most of these. Great for garden but would also be good as an extra chair inside for when you have lots of visitors. It is that comfy. Only slight design flaw - back could be longer so I could rest my head...... I can do it (5foot 7) but only if I slightly slump down.

Great chairs. Very lightweight and you can tell when you open them that they're good quality - they open smoothly and the joints and aluminium frame are very sturdy (despite being light). We bought some standard cheap camping chairs (the sort sold in service stations) a couple of years ago and have been cursing them ever since - heavy, bulky, stiff to open and not very comfy. So we're very happy we finally coughed up the extra ££ to buy something decent. They're very comfortable and the armrests have a bit of padding on them (they look quite skinny in the pic) so you can rest your arms on them! Chairs also come in a good sturdy bag. Look forward to using them a lot. Definitely recommend!

I hate being disappointed by poor quality goods - including camping chairs that fall apart after a couple of years. This is robust & without the longevity test to prove it, well made. The back is not quite high enough though to rest your head on if you are 6ft tall. However it's overall relaxation & comfort levels more than make up for that. Note that the back is set at a fixed 'relaxed' angle rather than in an upright position - so probably not the best chair for sitting & eating at a table. Arm rests are actually more comfortable than they look in the photo's.If you can get it at the right price, think I paid [...] when on special offer - it is a fabulous 'best' buy in my book.

At last, a truly comfortable and portable chair. Granny loves to go gentle strolls with us in the countryside but age, arthritis and angina severely limit the distance she can walk between rests. This Coleman sling chair solves the problem. It is relatively light-weight and is really comfortable. I could sit in it all afternoon without any discomfort. Many such seats often cut into one's back but this chair certainly does not. It will accommodate the larger figure with ease. It packs neatly into the pouch provided and can be carried over the shoulder. Well worth the price. I bought two and was very pleased to obtain them. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Wanted a lightweight chair to use during a household renovation and a planned relocation. This Coleman Sling Chair was so handy and comfortable that I decided to get rid of my clunky old recliner and use this chair permanently instead. The folding/unfolding mechanism is very simple to use. When fully open, the chair is sturdy and the fabric seat is extremely comfortable. Detailed design and manufacturing quality are excellent throughout. The khaki and black fabric is contemporary and stylish. The chair comes with its own carry bag made of a strong black fabric. Highly recommended.

Bought these chairs to fit in an overhead locker in a motorhome where opening is 12cm. No other chairs would fit. These fold to just the right size.The bonus is that they are the most comfortable outside chairs we've ever had. The back is high enough to provide neck support for you to rest your head back on and there is no nasty 'ridge' metal bar under you legs as with the fishing type.The arms come with little covers which velcro on - great in hot weather when metal arms could otherwise get hot to touch.A good height for eating from a table.Extremely pleased.

I looked at a lot of camping chairs before buying these and have tried many out at friends and in shops. However I can honestly say these are the best chairs I have found. At 95kg I worry about crushing or breaking some of the cheaper chair models, but this chair is rock solid and very comfortable. I agree with another reviewer that a slightly higher head board would improve the design, and it can be a little tricky to know if you've folded them up correctly, but other than this it is a brilliant design and well worth the thirty quid I paid for it.

Very comfortable chair, easy to get in and out of, with good back support. Tried a few different folding chairs of this type at our local camping shop, and this one is by far the best. I bought two of them for use in our new camper van, based on the other reviews. I particularly wanted this collapsible type, so the chairs woundn't take to much room in the van. They are perfect for our needs. If you are looking for a chair of this type, you will not be diappointed with coleman sling chair.

We have been through a lot of camping chairs in our time and then some friends turned up with these!We used them for a few hours, Brilliant, no more cutting the blood of to your feet and no more arms breaking,When folded away these are slightly longer that other chairs, but are a lot narrower, you don't seem to be able to buy these at your local camping shop any more, but can get on line.I wished I had saved my money and got these when I 1st started camping 20 years ago.

After looking for ages to find an aluminium frame chair, was pleased to find this one. It seems well made, though a little stiff to open/close at first. I am 5ft 9in and the top of the back reaches the bottom of my neck, but any higher and it would become a bit too heavy. Someone about 5ft could rest their head on it. The best thing is that there is nothing hard cutting into the thighs, also one can press on the arms to help in getting out the chair.

This is a very compact & lightweight chair yet it is surprisingly comfortable to sit in. The comfort aspect was what concerned me about buying this type of chair in the first place but I need not have worried about it. The quality is what you would expect from Coleman and I've never been disappointed with any Coleman product that I have purchased in the past. It is ideal for camping or caravanning when space and weight are both at a premium.
