No one beats spending an afternoon lounging poolside with a good book in hand. When selecting outdoor chaise lounge chairs for purchase, several features should be kept in mind to ensure optimal comfort and durability.
Chaise lounges make the perfect spot to unwind, nap or sunbathe – line them along your pool for an oasis-style retreat feel in your backyard!
Comfort
Outdoor chaise lounges can help make any relaxing activity a pleasure – from taking long naps to sunbathing or reading your favorite book poolside – in style. Boasting an adjustable back, these long chairs allow you to recline in four positions for different degrees of comfort, making them lightweight enough for easy movement around outdoor living spaces and some even offer convenient cup holders or storage solutions so your items remain close at hand.
Comfortable patio furniture starts with selecting an ergonomic chaise with durable materials and fabrics, such as fade-resistant Sunbrella fabric. Aluminum, teak or resin wicker frames may also provide extra support and relaxation; and you may even find outdoor lounges equipped with built-in footrests for additional support and relaxation. To maximize comfort further, look for lounges that come fully cushioned and upholstered – you could even consider adding soft outdoor pillows or decorative accents as part of your setup!
Before shopping for an outdoor chaise, measure your seating area to ensure the chair will fit properly and withstand time in your yard. Consider your needs for this chair such as how often and if you intend to entertain guests. Furthermore, think about aesthetic considerations if purchasing for pool use such as getting one with built-in umbrella protection from sun.
Outdoor chaise lounges are essential in creating the resort-like ambience of a hotel or spa in your backyard, providing relaxing seats to soak up summer sunshine while reading a good book or sipping cold drinks with friends by the water. To achieve an authentic resort setting, pair your new outdoor chaises with matching poolside canopies in complementary colors for an inviting aesthetic, adding coffee tables and end tables as needed for beverages, snacks or any other essentials.
Durability
There is an array of outdoor chaise lounge chairs on the market today, each made out of different materials which impact its durability. Aluminum outdoor lounge chairs are one solid option which require minimal upkeep from homeowners; simply spray down with water from a garden hose or soapy sponge to remove dirt or residue accumulated after use – unlike wood and wicker which require extensive treatments before being left outside in the elements for months on end. Resin wicker outdoor lounge chairs also provide durable seating, offering similar looks but with improved resilience against pests.
Length and width are also vital aspects of durability when selecting a chaise lounge chair, with wider models providing more comfortable sitting experiences than narrower ones. When purchasing such an item, make sure it fits you personally by testing it first before placing in your pool area; make sure there’s at least three feet of clearance either side so people can freely move around it without interference from nearby chairs or their positioning on decks.
Chaise lounges are versatile seating solutions that can be styled in many different ways to complement any space. Perfect for relaxing alone and socializing, chaise lounges make an attractive statement in deck, poolside settings and roomsy environments that accommodate their expansive designs. Being low to the ground means they add visual interest as focal points such as water features or architectural accent walls can be highlighted through them.
Outdoor chaises equipped with wheels provide an easy way to move them from place to place without lifting them, making life easier for seniors or those with limited mobility. This feature can also save time when rearranging or storing outdoor furniture for the season.
Style
A chaise lounge chair is more than just a place to sit; it’s an ode to relaxation and leisure that embodies its own special style statement. Ideal for sunbathing, reading or napping and frequently seen at hotels and resorts poolside areas for their elegance and comfort, chaise lounges make an impressionful style statement in your backyard or pool deck space. Available in various materials and finishes you are sure to find one suitable for any outdoor area in which they might reside.

Those planning on using their lounge chair by the pool should select a waterproof model that can easily be rinsed off with a garden hose, to avoid damage to furniture and ensure it looks its best all season long. You should also take into consideration where you plan on placing it; different materials might work better in certain climates than others – strong materials like wrought iron and teak may withstand harsher environments better, while resin and recycled plastic chaise lounges might work well in milder environments.
Make the most out of your lounge chair purchase by choosing one with accessories, such as a sliding tray or table for drinks and snacks, an outdoor canopy umbrella to provide shade against harsh rays of the sun or an umbrella to provide shelter from it all.
Storage
When searching for a chaise lounge set, ensure it includes a storage compartment. This feature can come in handy when keeping items such as pool toys, towels, and umbrellas close at hand. Wicker models often include this feature; metal and teak versions also exist. While teak is durable but requires regular oiling to maintain its luster. Powder-coated aluminum offers another durable material which won’t rust while plastic may provide lightweight yet cost-effective storage solutions.
Some outdoor chaise lounge models are portable, allowing you to move them easily throughout your backyard. This makes them great for changing position when the sun moves across your lawn or if storing during winter storage conditions require protection from harsher climate. When selecting such portable models, make sure they feature large wheels for stability and maneuvrability on uneven surfaces; and consider purchasing covers to shield from harsher elements.
Chaise lounge cushions come in various colors and fabric types to match any decor. Choose lighter hues to reflect sunlight and brighten up your patio, or go with darker tones to give it an intimate resort-feel. When storing, keep cushions in airtight containers to protect them from moths or other pests damaging the fabric; to help the fabric breathe properly use moisture-absorbing packets to store your cushions in.

If selling them come summer’s end, keep them clean by cleaning regularly!
