Spare Parts for Lafuma ( or La Fuma ) Recliners

You can also obtain spare and replacement parts for Lafuma recliners.

Generally speaking you shouldn't need Lafuma spares for a very long time. The people who do need them nearly all fall into one of two categories: either they have had their Lafuma recliner for over a decade and the elastic laces have started to fray (busy reflexologists may find theirs start to go a little sooner because of the extra strain), or they bought them recently and the arms or foam armrests have become damaged in storage. Remember, if you bought your Lafuma recently, that there is a two-year manufacturer's warranty!

Lafuma Elastic Laces

If the elastic cords that attach the central canvas of your Lafuma recliner to the metal frame have become worn or frayed, replacements are available. See the image at the head of this page.

Lafuma now supply these cords or elastic laces pre-cut to length to suit the most common types of reclining chair, but you can still sometimes find the older packs with the elastic in a single length of 8 metres, which you then cut to length to suit any one of the Lafuma chairs or products that uses elastic laces - reclining chairs, sunbeds, loungers, easy chairs and so on. One eight-metre elastic length will re-string one RSX or RSXA recliner, with a bit left over. Basic instructions for cutting the single length of elastic to length are on the reverse of the packet. You can click here for an image of these older instructions, which will open in a new window.

Replacement Lafuma elastics cost £11.00, and are sent out by first class post. Obviously, if you order more than one set at a time the postage cost per unit will go down.

The colours available are black, green, dark blue, or white. White will match either the Denim or Seigle Lafuma recliners, and dark blue also matches the Denim. It is best to call first to check availability, as there are sudden unaccountable flurries of demand for these, usually from Scotland for some unknown reason - and when they run out in the UK, it can take a long time to get any more in from France.

Lafuma Touch-Up Paint

There is a touch-up repair paint kit for Lafuma furniture.

The Lafuma recliners and chairs we stock are tough. Really tough. In fact, most of the time if you think their paintwork needs touching up, it is because they have picked up stains or paint from something else they have bashed against, and come off better in the encounter.

So it should be a long time before you need one of these little retouching kits. What you get is a small pot of paint with a brush inside the lid, colour matched to the main Lafuma frame colours. It's not cheap (in fact we have asked Lafuma why it can't be cheaper), but this together with some of our other spare parts is an excellent way of smartening up an old or tired-looking Lafuma recliner or chair.

Lafuma Recliner Arms and Armrests

People tend to need to replace the armrests on their recliners after they have been damaged in storage - either when putting them away or, as more than one person has said, "nibbled by mice". A good way to avoid this problem in the first place is to invest in a carrying/storage case for the recliner: click here for more details.

The foam part of the armrest is sometimes available, but it is usually easier to unscrew and replace the whole arm. Replacement arms are availabel in a range of colours.

Not the easiest things to photograph well...

The arms come with a set of bolts for fixing, for which you will need a Torx T25 screwdriver or key or the equivalent.

Replacement "Canvas"

After years of saying that no such thing existed, in 2004 Lafuma came up with replacements for the central fabric part of the recliner, in both padded and Batyline fabric. They're not cheap, unfortunately, but if you're considering throwing out your Lafuma recliner because the "canvas" is worn out, now you don't have to.

These are posted as cheaply as possible - the Batyline will fold up, the padded ones won't.

Availability of these is limited, so do please call on 01865 876 650 to check whether the colour you need is available.

"Horseshoes" and "Feet"

Lafuma recliners do tend to shed small oddly-shaped plastic and rubber bits as you use them. These are intended to prevent the pointy metal folding bits from damaging anything, and to raise the legs slightly off the floor. Losing them doesn't seem to cause anyone any problems, and indeed when you find one on the floor after putting away your Lafuma it is often quite difficult to figure out where it is missing from!

Nevertheless, if you feel your Lafuma is incomplete without one of these, replacements are available - they come in sets of four, in either black or white, and cost £3.50 for the set of either rubber "horseshoes" or plastic "feet".

These are the "feet" - they fit round the tube that the recliner rests on to protect it

Nuts and Bolts and Bits and Bobs

If you need a bit of a Lafuma not described above, it is worth getting in touch. It is a good idea to take a photograph of the damaged part (or of where it is missing from) and e-mail it, so we can be certain we are talking about the same thing, as many of these are extremely difficult to describe. We can't promise, but we will do our best to match and replace what you need.

In addition, we stock the Torx T25 screwdrivers that you need for tightening up or removing all those funny-headed screws on your Lafuma recliner.
