Outdoor chaises and lounge chairs are available in styles that will set the tone for your outdoor oasis. Outfit your space with a style that fits your home aesthetic, whether it's a poolside paradise or a mid-century modern sun deck.
Frame Material
Outdoor chaises and lounge chairs are crafted in materials including natural and synthetic. Choose a material that can withstand the sunniest afternoons and the occasional summer downpour. If you live in an area with extreme winters, consider finding a spot to store them in the winter months or invest in protective covers.
Metal frames, usually crafted from powder-coated steel or aluminum, are common choices. Their lightweight yet sturdy qualities and rust resistance make them practical and trend forward.
Those looking for a natural style should explore hardwoods like teak or acacia that rebuff mold, mildew, and outdoor pests with their natural oils. Plastics and synthetic materials, like resin or faux wicker, provide similar protection at a cost-effective price.
Cushions & Fabric
Depending on the style of outdoor chaise or lounge chair, you can add additional cushion to make your reclined time even more comfortable. Extend the lifespan of outdoor leisure, cushions, and fabrics crafted to endure prolonged exposure to sun, rain, and wind. While there are options to suit every budget, investing in a premium fabric can ensure multiple seasons of mold, mildew, and fade resistance.
Some chaise and lounge styles use sling fabric (woven mesh) that provides more give than a solid frame while keeping a slim profile.
Adjustability
Find a chaise or lounge chair with an adjustable backrest for effortless transitions between upright and reclined postures.
How to Clean an Outdoor Chaise or Lounge
Store your chaise and lounges in an enclosed, dry area when you’re not using them to preserve their lifespan.
Regularly cleaning your outdoor chaise and lounge chairs helps maintain their appearance and lifespan. Before you start cleaning any cushion or frame, check the care instructions. It’s best to follow care instructions to ensure you’re using products and cleaning methods compatible with your furniture type. Generally, you can clean your chaise and lounge cushions with a soft bristle brush dipped in warm, soapy water. Lightly scrub the area, wipe with a damp microfiber cloth, and air dry.
