Our Review of the Lafuma Futura Clipper XL recliner
A more generously sized version of the Lafuma Futura Clipper, the Lafuma Futura Clipper XL recliner offers superior design with a little more room. The Clipper XL uses a series of elastic clips to suspend the mattress instead of Lafuma's more traditional elastic lacing system. The clipper system revolutionizes Lafuma's already superior design by improving support across the entire recliner and creating a slick look, all while eliminating the need to replace elastic laces. Best of all, the plastic clips allow easy removal of the mattress for cleaning.
Lafuma combines the Clipper's improvements with their tried and true zero gravity recline system. The cinematic recline system and easy-to-use tension levers beneath the armrests recline the Clipper to your desired position. To recline the Clipper zero gravity chair, shift your weight or push against the armrests.
Batyline Fabric: Lafuma's amazing Batyline® Fabric is extremely durable thanks to a polyester fiber covered by a coating of PVC, making your Lafuma mattress nearly impossible to tear. Batyline also keeps things green with environmentally friendly and Oeko-Tex certified material that is free from concentrations of harmful substances. Batyline demonstrates some amazing properties, including:
- High resistance to rot, mildew, UV radiation, and fading.
- Batyline withstands temperature extremes ranging from -22°F to 158°F.
- Batyline's flexibility provides cushion-like comfort without cushions.
- Resilient, Batyline stands up to use by the pool or salt water.
- Thanks to a maximum 3% stretch, Batyline hardly sags. And it will regain its original shape when given a little time to rest out of the sun.
When you pick the color of your chair, choose from either Batyline or Batyline Natural. The standard Batyline fabric features a larger weave for excellent ventilation. The Batyline natural fabric features a tighter weave for a more tailored look. Padded models feature a 50/50 poly-cotton blend fabric and high-density foam for comfort and support.
What's the difference between the Lafuma Futura Clipper XL and the RSX XL Recliner?
The Lafuma RSX XL Recliner uses a system of laces to attach the mattress to the frame. The laces provide more give to the mattress than the clipper system, perfect for those who want a softer mattress feel. Removing the mattress is a bit more involved using the laces instead of the clipper system, making cleaning and storage more difficult. Additionally, the armrests of the Clipper XL make it easier to lean back in the chair without having to hook your feet over the footrest bar. Having tested both the Clipper XL and the RSX XL, the team at LafumaFurniture.com found the Clipper XL just a little easier to get in and out of.
The Futura Clipper XL holds up to 330 lbs and includes a padded headrest. Like all Lafuma folding chairs, the Clipper XL folds compactly for easy transport and storage.

General Cleaning and Care Instructions:
For all of the Lafuma Chairs and Recliner, simply rinse with soapy water or a mild laundry detergent. Scrub gently. A soft brush can also be used. Rinse thoroughly and sun dry. Repeat these steps as necessary.
Batyline (Mesh) Notes:
Batyline should be cleaned regularly. Due to the fabric's mesh weave, the drying process is quick.
Padded Fabric Notes:
If the padded fabric gets extremely wet, let it sun dry until all of the water is gone. Due to the padding, water can get trapped in the fabric. Make sure to keep these chairs out of the rain whenever possible.
