Whether you're soaking up some rays, or catching a nap after your morning swim, an outdoor chaise lounge is a good way to maximize every moment of your rest and relaxation. If the wide selection of styles and materials has your head spinning, consider the following questions to help you make the best purchasing decision.
A chaise lounge is a long, low patio chair with an angled back on one end. It provides complete body support, making it a good choice for relaxing and lounging poolside. If you're planning on entertaining guests, armchairs or a patio dining set can be a better option that's more conducive to conversation.
Chaise lounges are designed for comfort; however, they're low to the ground, so it helps to keep their heights in mind if you have any mobility limitations. To improve comfort, consider these features:
Chaise lounges support the full body length, so they're quite large, especially if you opt for double models designed for two people. This means they're most suitable for large patio and pool deck areas. Before making a purchase, measure your available space, and remember to consider the additional space necessary for getting on and off the furniture, or opening nearby doors.
Another important consideration relating to size is storage. To avoid leaving furniture exposed to the elements through the winter, you need a suitable place to keep it covered. If you're storing furniture in an storage shed, consider stackable or folding designs to minimize space requirements, and make relocation easier with wheels attached.
By making wise purchasing choices it's possible to keep your outdoor chaise lounges looking good, and enjoy them for years to come. Use these helpful tips to choose the chaise that's just right for your needs.
