When I think of the best folding lawn chairs, I picture my parents sitting on the sidelines of my youth soccer games in the chairs we brought along from our garage. I can still picture them now, with their webbed backing and aluminum folding legs.
While some brands still offer lawn chair seats with that same vintage-style webbing, others classify plastic patio furniture, camping chairs or even beach seats as lawn seating. So, what exactly constitutes an actual lawn chair?
For this guide, I defined folding lawn chairs as collapsible seats for outdoor use. Styles and materials may vary, but the function remains the same. To find the best, I started by gathering various collapsible seats and testing them over several weeks around my neighborhood in Los Angeles. After hosting a picnic in my local park, attending a free jazz concert and enjoying some backyard lounging, I found two clear winners.
