Outdoor Lounge Chairs

Outdoor chaise lounge chair styles and sizes

An outdoor chaise lounge chair supports your whole body from back to legs, while a single lounge chair is a compact, upright-leaning seat. Dimensions on this page run from 24 to 80.3 inches wide and from 19.7 to 79.8 inches deep.

Chaise models are far longer than single lounge chairs, so measure your deck or pool edge first, and leave room to walk around the chair and to recline the backrest.

Folding lounge chair outdoor options

A folding lounge chair outdoor design collapses for easy carrying and tight storage, and select models here fold. Some chaise lounges also have an adjustable backrest, so you can sit upright for reading or recline to rest.

Some models roll on wheels, which helps when you follow the sun around a patio or move a long chaise out of the way.

Outdoor lounge chair cushions and comfort

Outdoor lounge chair cushions add the padding that makes a wood or wicker frame comfortable for long stretches. Some designs include cushions, and most models here use fabric upholstery or cushion covers.

Check that the cushion length matches the chaise and that the fabric is made for outdoor use. Lift cushions off when it rains and keep them dry between uses.

Best outdoor lounge chair materials

The best outdoor lounge chair depends on your climate and how much upkeep you want. Most designs here use solid acacia wood, a dense hardwood that looks warm and needs occasional cleaning.

Some use resin wicker, which is synthetic wicker, or HDPE plastic, aluminum, steel or iron frames. Powder-coated aluminum and HDPE resist rust and UV fading, while wood looks best with periodic cleaning.

Outdoor lounge chair covers and care

Outdoor lounge chair covers keep dust, pollen and rain off your chairs between uses, and they extend the life of cushions and finishes. Pick a cover sized to the chair, since chaise lounges are much longer than single chairs.

Wipe frames with mild soap and water, and move cushions and chairs under cover for winter.
