- Double-layer foam seat and back with a microfleece comfort covering.

Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Static carp anglers fishing overnight or multi-day sessions. The cushioning, lumbar support, reclining back and adjustable headrest are made for spending serious time in the chair.
- Anglers who prefer a taller, more supportive seat. The 45–60cm height range and extra-high adjustable legs make getting in, out and settled on uneven ground much easier.
Maybe skip if
- Mobile anglers covering lots of water. Nine kilos is a fair lump when you’re moving between swims or carrying a minimal stalking load.
- Anglers with very limited bivvy or barrow space. The wider, more comfortable design needs more room than a compact folding chair.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Fox Super Deluxe Recliner Chair is built for anglers who want proper support rather than a basic folding seat. Its double-layer foam, integrated lumbar support, adjustable headrest and tall legs make it a cracking option for long spells on the bank.
It’s a sizeable 9kg chair, so it isn’t the one for roving light or quick stalking. But for a static carp setup, bivvy life and those long bite-time waits, it looks bob on. Fold it up, tuck the pocket away and settle in.

The foam construction, 500D outer fabric, neoprene armrests and multiple adjustment points give it a solid, well-equipped feel.
Recline, lumbar support, adjustable headrest and tall legs cover the main comfort jobs on a long session.
A comfortable angler is more alert and less likely to keep wandering off, although the chair itself won’t replace good watercraft.
Spring-loaded legs and straightforward recline adjustment are useful, though the extra locks and settings add a little setup faff.
For anglers who’ll use the support and adjustment regularly, it offers a convincing comfort package without pointless gimmicks.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Super Deluxe Recliner Chair
Some carp chairs are basically somewhere to park your backside between bites. The Fox Super Deluxe Recliner Chair is a different beast. This is aimed at anglers who want to get properly comfy, whether you’re sat behind the rods for a short evening or dug in for a full-on 48-hour session.
The first thing that stands out is the support. You get a double-layer foam seat and back, wrapped in a microfleece comfort covering. That’s a much nicer proposition than a thin, saggy seat when you’ve been watching flat-calm water for six hours and your back’s starting to moan.
Fox has also built in lumbar support, which is dead handy on longer sessions. It helps keep you sitting in a more natural position rather than slowly sliding into a heap. That matters when you’re trying to stay alert for a twitch, a drop-back or one of those screaming takes that arrives just as you’ve put the kettle on.
The back reclines as well, so you can sit upright when you’re tying rigs or keeping an eye on the spot, then lean back when the rods are quiet. Add the microfleece-lined headrest, with both height and angle adjustment, and you can get your neck supported rather than leaving it hanging about in the breeze.
There’s plenty of room under you too. The seat is 60cm wide, which gives you a more relaxed platform than many narrower carp chairs. It should feel far less cramped when you’re wearing winter layers, waterproofs and enough fleece to survive a February night on an exposed gravel pit.
The leg setup is another strong point. Seat height adjusts from 45cm to 60cm, with extra-high adjustable legs and spring-loaded adjustment. That gives you useful flexibility on sloping or lumpy banks. You can get the chair sitting properly instead of accepting a wonky angle and hoping your brew doesn’t slide off.
Fox uses 500D polyester for the outer Fox camo fabric, with camo neoprene armrests for a bit of extra comfort. The armrests are a nice touch when you’re settled in for the long haul, and the camo finish keeps the chair looking at home beside the rest of a carp setup rather than like garden furniture.
There’s a fold-away side pocket secured by Velcro, which is exactly the sort of small feature you appreciate on the bank. Keep your phone, receiver accessories, sunglasses or a few bits of terminal tackle within reach, then close it up when you’re packing down. No rummaging through the rucksack every five minutes.
The trade-off is weight. At 9kg, this isn’t a cheeky little chair for stalking a lake with one rod and a net. It’s a substantial bit of kit, and that weight comes from the padding, larger frame and adjustment. For a static swim, barrow-based session or proper bivvy camp, that’s fair enough. For constant swim-hopping, it’s a bit much.
Overall, the Super Deluxe Recliner is aimed squarely at comfort-led carp anglers. It gives you a broad seat, tall legs, proper back support and loads of adjustment without pretending to be ultralight. If your idea of a good session includes a brew, a book and waiting patiently for a lump to show, this looks spot on.

Our take
The angle
This chair is all about comfort without going full armchair. The generous 60cm seat, 45–60cm seat-height adjustment and supportive back make it much better suited to long sessions than a skinny compact chair.
The tall adjustable legs are especially handy on uneven banks, while the reclining back and movable headrest let you dial in a proper lounging position when the rods are quiet.
Comfort with a bit of thought
A chair designed for the long haul
The double-layer foam seat and back are the heart of this chair. They give it a properly cushioned feel, while the microfleece covering adds a softer contact point when you’re sat in it for hours. Integrated lumbar support helps keep your lower back supported rather than leaving you folded up.
The reclining back works alongside the adjustable headrest. Sit more upright when you’re watching the water or sorting a rig, then lean back when it’s quiet. The headrest adjusts for height and angle, so you can find a position that suits rather than making do.
The camo neoprene armrests, fold-away Velcro pocket and 500D polyester Fox camo outer fabric round off the practical touches. They’re small details, but they make the chair feel more suited to real bank life.
Worth knowing. The chair weighs 9kg. That’s the price of the generous padding, wider seat and sturdy adjustment, so think barrow and static swim rather than lightweight stalking.
Pick your chair wisely
Best mates for this recliner
This is a strong choice for carp anglers who spend long periods in one swim. Overnight sessions, chilly winter campaigns and lazy summer evenings all suit it. The 60cm seat width gives you room for layers, while the 45–60cm seat height helps you get comfortable around a bivvy or shelter.
It also makes sense if you’ve had enough of basic chairs that leave your shoulders, neck or lower back feeling rough. The combination of lumbar support, reclining adjustment and a movable headrest gives you far more control over your sitting position.
It’s less convincing for a roving angler. If you’re tracking carp around a big pit, carrying minimal kit and moving after every sign of fish, the 9kg weight and larger design will create unnecessary faff. This chair wants to be placed in a swim and enjoyed.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
What’s the maximum load? The Fox Super Deluxe Recliner Chair is rated to 150kg. That gives it a broad user range, although you should always use it on stable ground and make sure the legs are locked properly before settling in.
How adjustable is it? The seat height runs from 45cm to 60cm. The legs are extra-high, spring-loaded and secured with a thumb-screw locking system. The headrest adjusts for both height and angle, while the back reclines.
What storage does it have? There’s a fold-away side pocket secured with Velcro. It’s useful for small personal bits and accessories you want close at hand, without leaving them loose on the bivvy floor.
Worth knowing. Before you settle in, check each leg is sitting firmly and use the thumb-screw locks properly. That little bit of setup is well worth it on an uneven bank.
