    found a pic on the www. Its the second pic down.

    I sat on it, thought it was v comfortable. Not upright at all.

    Price was reasonable but not cheap - a few hundred quid.

    what about an adirondack chair ? you can get benches too but I dont think they're as nice ie - comfortable you can get one for around £100 and the curved footstool for around anothe £30 they are VERY ergnomic and give a similar seating position to the £1000 bench in your link -

    You have proved my point. No benches. Just recliners.

    but they're more complex ...and a good garden slouch involves arms out
    one clutching cold beer - one clutching good book...
    but if you try to get out of something so laid back ,one handed , ie no arm rest in the middle, you may well end up clutching each other....:cool:.

    and a double footstool is and argument in waiting ,,,if you've never tried it,try getting out of a reclined seat and footstool where the other person dosnt want to move..very good for your stomach muscles
    but I can see your point.....
    comfy benches - no..never found one
