Outdoor Chaise Lounge Chairs Built for Poolside Relaxing
A chaise lounge chair is the centerpiece of any true relaxation setup, whether you're soaking up the sun by the pool or unwinding on a quiet patio. BBQGuys carries outdoor chaise lounges individually or in curated sets that can include coordinating end tables, umbrellas, and sun shades for a complete outdoor oasis. Of all the patio lounge chairs out there, the chaise lounge remains the go-to choice for full-body relaxation.
Chaise Lounge Chair vs. Lounge Chair
A chaise lounge chair is a specific type of outdoor lounge chair built with an extended seat long enough to fully support your legs, so you can lie back rather than just sit. Most also recline to multiple positions, letting you adjust from fully flat to a more upright, seated angle. A standard lounge chair, by comparison, may or may not extend or recline, and is often built more for everyday seating than full-body sunbathing.
Choosing the Right Size
Measure your patio or pool deck before you buy, since a chaise lounge takes up more floor space than standard outdoor patio chairs once fully extended. Leave enough clearance behind and beside each chair for someone to walk past comfortably, especially around a pool where wet feet and bare skin make bumping into furniture more than just an inconvenience. If you're outfitting a poolside area with patio chairs for multiple guests, stackable or foldable models make it easier to store extras when they're not in use.
Materials and Climate
The right material for your chaise lounge depends on your climate as much as your style.
- Cast Aluminum: Naturally rustproof and durable, making it a strong choice for coastal or humid climates where other metals corrode.
- Teak: Naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and pests, holding up well in nearly any climate, including humid and coastal areas, with Royal Teak Collection and Oxford Garden standing out as 2 of the top names in the category.
- Wicker: Resin wicker resists sun, moisture, and temperature swings across most climates, while natural wicker performs better in drier, more moderate conditions.
- Recycled Plastic: An eco-friendly option that resists fading and moisture damage in nearly any climate, with minimal upkeep required.
- Wood: Offers a natural look, though it needs regular sealing or staining to hold up in humid or rainy climates.
Whether you can leave your chaise lounge outside year-round depends on your climate and the specific material, so check the manufacturer's care recommendations before deciding what stays out through winter. A furniture cover helps protect any material from rain and sun exposure between uses, the same way it would for any of your other outdoor chairs, and Sunbrella cushions hold up to fading and moisture far better than standard outdoor fabric.
