Sport Brella Recliner Beach Chair: This chair sat too low, with our tester saying that they “can’t imagine” this chair being comfortable anywhere besides the beach, because you have to keep your legs extended in the sand, otherwise your knees would be in your face. The Ostrich Deluxe 3N1 Beach Chair is made for luxury and offers the most indulgent comfort on our list. The extra wide armrests ensure all body types can get comfortable, while the optional pillow or face cushion allows for more wiggle room for sprawling out and soaking up the sun. I can't recommend this chair, since it broke upon first use and there's no reason that it should've. The footrest is hard to push down when you want to get up. Coleman Utopia Breeze Beach Chair: While Coleman is a staple brand for outdoor gear, this beach chair’s height wasn’t low enough or high enough from the ground, making it an awkward and uncomfortable chair to sit in.

If you’re looking for a chair that can be used for a range of activities, the Kijaro Coast Folding Beach Sling Chair is a solid option. It sits higher up than the common low-profile beach chair, and our tester said it’s “high enough off the ground that I'm sitting comfortably, and low enough that I can recline nicely.” While the chair might be too bulky for a child to easily carry it, the chair folds up and fits into a carrier bag that makes it easier to transport, and there were no issues with unfolding the chair for the first time. The chair includes several built-in accessories like two cup holders, a cooler on the armrest that can fit up to six 12-ounce cans, and a headrest pillow—all of which are ideal accessories for game days, lawn concerts, or trips to the beach. In testing, we thought the beach chair was well built, with our tester noting that it’s “one of those chairs you'll have for a couple decades.”These features allow for endless adjustment to find the most comfortable position or to mix it up whenever you need a little something different. Scooch the lumbar pillow, throw it into full recline, extend the footrest, and you’re good to go.

There are fabric cup holders on the sides of each arm rest. The cupholders are standard in terms of size, comfortably fitting soda cans. Only one of the cupholders was big enough to fit my 40-ounce Stanley tumbler, though not supportive enough to hold it upright when the cup is full. Beach chairs are there to enhance your state of relaxation, so we can’t talk about their performance without at least mentioning comfort. This chair did not skimp on features – perhaps to its detriment. The extra wide armrests, head support, 5 reclining positions, adjustable lumbar support, face cushion, and cavity (similar to that of a massage table) are enough to keep you comfortable all day. We tested 26 beach chairs at the actual beach to rate portability, ease of use, comfort, and durability. The chairs were used for lounging oceanside, beach picnics, and family day trips to the water.
