Hi All

In the bid to claim back space in the car for our upcoming trip to the south of France, I figured the 2 x adult foldable chairs and 2 x childs foldable chairs are taking up way too much space, so I am wondering about replacing them with inflatable chairs.

Has anyone else done this?

What inflatable chairs have you bought?

Help and many thanks

Catherine

I bought a chair and sofa (in black) from Wilkinsons last year in the sale.

I used an electric pump to inflate and deflate and managed to get it back in the box

I have 2 chairs originally bought from Argos, they are very comfortable and have lasted, one I have had for over 10 years, never punctured. Unfortunately they no longer stock them. Found this one on ebay.
We also had inflatable chairs for the children.

I bought 2 of the Sunncamp Single Sofas to take to Glastonbury for me and a friend to relax in after working our shifts there. They were great and there was a lot of sofa envy on the campsite.

Our Wilkos one is great, inflate it correctly and it's comfy to sit on and I find the back supportive, but we put it up against the tent wall. Having said that I prefer to sit on my camping chair most of the time, so, instead of saving space, we now take both!

My OH and myself have the Sunncamp Deluxe Double Inflatable Portable Camping Chair, but tbh, we ended up using our standard folding chairs on one trip. The Sunncamp chair didn't offer any back support, and after prolonged use it wasn't at all comfortable. But I still love the idea of an inflatable sofa with a proper 'back' so I'll be watching this thread with interest for any recommendations!

Thank you everyone for replying. We are going to Wilko's this weekend and go outdoors to compare. I have taken a fancy to the Suncamp ones though
