I love a lounger just as much as the next person — but let's be honest, they're not always the most practical furnishing. Of course, their lay-flat comfort and stylish appeal is hard to resist, but most traditional loungers take up so much space. They're big, clunky, and quite inconvenient if you only have a small patio or outdoor space.

That's where this clever foldable lounge chair from VidaXL comes into play. It acts just like any traditional outdoor lounge chair — it extends just over six feet in length, comes with a plush cushion, and provides utmost comfort while lounging. But when not in use, it can conveniently collapse into a compact square that instantly creates more space in your outdoor area.

It's a genius idea that's not only functional, but effortlessly stylish, too. An outdoor chair that's redefining the art of outdoor lounging, if you ask me.

At just under 40lbs, this foldable lounge chair is easily transportable. Simply fold it up and carry it with you to a new spot in your yard, pack it in your car and carry it to the beach (why not?), or store it away and out of sight.

A foldable lounge chair is a game changing piece of outdoor furniture in any space. So if this isn't to your taste, below, find three more foldable styles that'll ensure convenience and easy relaxation this summer.

In my opinion, these foldable lounge chairs are the space-saving answer to traditionally bulky outdoor furniture. But this is only just the beginning when it comes to outdoor furniture ideas for small spaces (and thankfully, we've got a guide on that, too!)
