The ever popular Decathlon chair has thousands of glowing reviews
For those planning outdoor adventures and looking to upgrade their camping equipment, we’ve found the ideal accessory – currently discounted by £12.99 (normally £14.99). Decathlon’s QUECHUA Folding Camping Chair has been highly praised for its exceptional comfort, durability, and compact design, making it a must-have for campers, festival-goers, or even just as an extra garden chair for a bank holiday barbecue.
Customers have commended the folding design for its surprisingly high quality despite its reasonable price tag. A pleased customer commented: “We have a couple of camping chairs bought elsewhere, so we picked up one of these while shopping for something else. It was surprising how much difference it felt to the others. This was much more comfortable, which we didn’t expect.”
One fan described it as ‘compact and easy to use,” while another depicted it as a “comfy chair [that is] easy to transport and [I] love that it can hold my drink.” A third mentioned they would have preferred a seat with a head and neck rest, but you can easily opt for a slightly pricier one with those features if you’d prefer.
The chair – available in two colours – comes with two armrests and a cup holder for keeping your drinks cool. It also folds down and includes a built-in strap for effortless transportation – whether from your car to a park or campsite, or simply from the shed to the sunniest spot in the garden, the Express reports.
If you’re in the market for a new tent, we’ve got some brilliant news for you. If you purchase one of Decathlon’s MH100 tents and return it in ‘good condition’, you’ll receive a gift card for the exact value of the tent. Essentially, you’re getting a new tent for free. This offer is part of the outdoor brand’s ‘No Tent Left Behind’ campaign, which aims to reduce unnecessary waste at festivals.
Decathlon estimates that around 250,000 tents are discarded at festivals each year, with most ending up in landfills. It’s important to note that this offer is only available until September 13, 2024, and you’ll need proof of purchase. Once that’s sorted, you’ll get the value of your purchase back as a gift card.
The MH100 range offers a wide variety of tents. Here are our top picks:
MH100 2-Person Tent, £59.99
The MH100 2-Person Tent is a great choice if you’re after a smaller design; it’s compact but well-ventilated to ensure you won’t overheat when the sun is out. Its freestanding dome structure also means it’ll maintain its shape without needing to be pegged into the ground, allowing you to lift it and move it without taking it apart – handy if you need to reposition it or shake off any debris.
Customers are singing praises about their experiences with one reviewer sharing that they’ve owned the tent for years, having taken it through “plenty of festivals, camping trips and even a 5-day trek in autumn.”
They did offer a word of caution: “I wouldn’t recommend camping up high in exposed windy and cold weather as the wind goes straight through,” but also reassured potential buyers by saying, “It still withstood the wind, though, and it’s never leaked once, and it’s seen plenty of wind and rain.”
MH100 Ultra Fresh 3-Person Tent, £79.99
This roomy three-person tent is perfect for those who need extra space or wish to accommodate an additional camper. Similar to its predecessor, this model is freestanding and features air vents to promote circulation. It also has the added advantage of two doors, making entry and exit more convenient for everyone.
Shoppers have lauded the tent for being “extremely compact and lightweight to carry around” and “very quick and simple to put up, even in the dark.” Nonetheless, a critic mentioned that the ventilation was “not good enough” although they conceded that the issue might have been due to the tent’s location, as it was surrounded by other tents.
