Patio Furniture - Lounge Chairs

There is nothing more comfortable than a good lounge chair. Lounge Chairs are available in many sizes, shapes, colors and materials. The typical lounge chair, or Chaise Lounge, is a flat bed with an adjustable backrest. There are two basic types. There is the bed like lounge with the flat seating area and then there are chair adaptations like the teak steamer chair listed below. Similar chair adaptations are the Adirondack with the leg rest.


Variations for the flat lounge chair are more common. Some have an adjustable seating area that can raise and lower as needed. Some have pullout shelves for placing items, drinks and reading material.

What are important features when looking for lounge chairs? Comfort is the key. Many of the lounge chairs look great but are not very comfortable to sit in. I highly recommend spending some time lounging around in one to see if it fits your body. I prefer lounge chairs with cushions. Although I like the look and feel of wood furniture, sitting on the hard wood gets a little uncomfortable after a while.

The second feature when shopping for chaise lounges it the style. Try to find a piece that matches your current style of your patio. Match the colors and tones along with the lines/look of your current furniture.

Please note that there may be slightly more maintenance with the pieces that have cushions. The cushions will need to be stored in winter ( if you live in cold, snowy, rainy areas ) and cleaned before each season
