When you imagine an outdoor lounge, you probably picture warm sunsets, clear skies, and yourself napping on a beautiful chaise lounge. That’s understandable, refreshing naps are the best use for this furniture type.
But did you know that an outdoor lounge also has hidden health benefits? Lounges can reduce inflammation and increase your mobility because of their build and overall layout
And that’s not to mention the general aesthetic boost that a lounge adds to any outdoor setting. In this guide, we’ll show you the obscure ways an outdoor lounge benefits your long-term health and recommend the most comfortable lounges available today.
Lounge Outdoor Furniture Options
Have you ever woken up from a deep sleep, in pain? The kind of pain that feels like a rough bruise on the side of your neck. It’s difficult to even turn your head on those kinds of days. Be warned, these small aches and pains can be warning signs of deeper issues.
You see, if your head and neck are not properly supported, your spine may become misaligned. Frequent occurrences will limit your mobility and lead to long-term back and neck pain. This is because excessive pressure and stress are being placed on your spine.
How exactly does an outdoor lounge counteract this?
Modern Patio Design’s lounges are designed with ergonomics in mind. They have the appropriate cushioning and support to allow you to sit or lay back comfortably without putting your long-term health in jeopardy.
Modern Patio Design’s outdoor lounge collection also helps maintain the natural curves of your spine. While each lounge may share a quality build, they vary when it comes to several design factors.
Let’s go over the standout choices of this collection.
Telescope Casual Bazza MGP Sling Collection Contour Armless Chaise
The Telescope Casual Bazza Armless Chaise removes a piece that many find difficult to work with when searching for that ultimate relaxation pose. Instead of wasting energy trying to figure out how to incorporate armrests, Telescope Casual added a hump to the lower portion of this lounge.
What this hump does is support the natural alignment of your spine. In addition to this, the upper half of this lounge can be adjusted to various tilt levels. This grants you up to four positions to shift between, from sitting up to lying flat.
While the sling fabric of this lounge is replaceable you won’t have to worry about tearing it. That’s because this sling fabric is naturally tear and abrasion-resistant. It also has a bit of give to it which helps shape itself into place where needed and also conform to your natural shape in other positions.
Other key features include:
- Wave-like frame that supports the natural contours of the body.
- Gentle aesthetic that doesn’t clash with varied environments.
- Relaxing surface that makes it easy to lay back on.
Telescope Casual Gardenella Sling Stacking Chaise
The Telescope Casual Gardenella Sling Stacking Chaise is another lounge that has an easy-to-replace sling fabric. However, while the sling fabric here is just as quality as in the option that came before it, it’s not its main feature.
You see, this chaise has an aluminum frame that won’t rust, peel, or crack regardless of how long it has been exposed to the elements. Its secret weapon is a special powder coating that has been baked into the aluminum frame itself. This was done via the use of special ovens.
With its baked-in powder coating, the longevity of this chaise is boosted significantly. Many lounges claim to have powder coatings, however, the issue with them is that this coating is only applied on a surface level and as a result, it wears off with a bit of rain.
That won’t be an issue here, and its flat layout design works best for those seeking a more traditional sleep environment.
Other key features include:
- Stackable design for storage efficiency.
- Designed and manufactured in the USA.
- Sling fabric is available in many different colors.
Telescope Casual Dune MGP Sling Stacking Armless Chaise With Wheels
The issue with many chaises is how immobile they can be sometimes. Commercial building owners can often spend hours trying to figure out where to best position their outdoor furniture but at the end of the day, the customer has the final say.
With that said, why not make it easy for them to set up their space, in their own way? The Telescope Casual Dune MGP Sling Stacking Armless Chaise comes with wheels attached. Gone are the days of guests awkwardly dragging their seats across the floor or picking them up and waddling to their destination.
Perhaps the best part about this chaise isn’t so much the wheels but rather how they have been incorporated into the design itself. Each wheel has been discreetly placed into the legs of the lounge, obscured from public view.
The same natural curves and slopes that are hallmarks of previous designs are still present here, which means your spine and back as a whole will be supported.
Other key features include:
- The entire frame is made from stainless steel.
- Sturdy frame with replaceable sling capabilities.
- Discret wheels for additional mobility and customization.
Sunset West La Jolla Chaise
If you are looking for a centerpiece lounge that won’t look out of place in either an outdoor or business setting then you won’t find a better match than the Sunset West La Jolla Chaise.
Despite being a suitable option for both indoor and outdoor settings this chaise still boasts the same powder-coated aluminum frame as some of the other stalwarts on this post.
However, slight modifications have been made to its overall design to help it stand out further. Fully extruded thick aluminum outer walls and inner channels have been added to its original frame.
What these design modifications result in is an insanely durable and sturdy frame that can handle people of all shapes and sizes. Furthermore, its structural integrity won’t be compromised even with repeated usage.
Sunset West has also incorporated its Progressive Springing System technology into the cushion. This technology helps the cushion retain its form while still conforming to the curves and contours of your body.
Other key features include:
- Canvas Spa cushion with self-welt.
- Robust frame that isn’t prone to bending or cracking.
- Fully welded outer frame that is built to last.
Hospitality Rattan Soho Patio 3 PC Chaise Lounge Set
Rather than purchasing one chaise lounge at a time why not get a three-piece set that comes with everything you need? The Hospitality Rattan Soho Patio Chaise Lounge Set comes with two chaise lounges and one end table.
The lounges are made with a weather and UV-resistant wicker exterior. This kind of material doesn’t crack or become brittle even after prolonged exposure to the sun. Interwoven into their builds are Rehau Java Brown fibers, the same goes for the console table.
The console table itself also benefits from a thin sheet of Plexiglas which has been included underneath the woven exterior. As for the legs of the lounges, those have been made with sturdy aluminum.
What this three-piece set does better than other lounge choices is perfectly marry comfort and rustic charm with modern design and durable materials. The result is a set that you can count on to last you for several years while comforting any who choose to rest on it.
Other key features include:
- No assembly is required for any of the pieces in this build.
- Weather and UV-resistant exteriors.
- Completely anodized aluminum frame.
Caring for Your Outdoor Lounge Furniture
Despite their varied builds, all of the lounges in Modern Patio Design’s outdoor lounge collection are easy to maintain. In fact, each one is maintained in the same way.
To maintain your outdoor lounge or daybed furniture:
- Regularly clean surfaces with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and air dry.
- Apply protective coatings if necessary, especially for wood and metal furniture.
- Invest in covers to shield furniture from harsh weather conditions and UV rays.
- Store cushions indoors or use water-resistant covers when not in use. Inspect for any signs of wear, rust, or damage, addressing issues promptly.
- Keep furniture on even surfaces to prevent wobbling or warping.
Following these general maintenance tips will help prolong the lifespan and aesthetic appeal of your outdoor lounges.
FAQs About Outdoor Lounge Furniture
You know all about the materials used to build these outdoor lounges and how they support your spine’s natural shape, but if you’ve still got questions then you’ve come to the right place. Below you’ll find the answers to common questions pertaining to this furniture type.
Can Outdoor Lounge Furniture Be Left Outside All Year Round?
While many outdoor furniture materials are designed to withstand various weather conditions, it's advisable to protect your furniture during extreme weather. This can be done by providing additional cover to them via a patio umbrella.
You could always store or move furniture indoors during winter or heavy storms, and perform regular maintenance to prolong the life of your outdoor lounge.
What’s the Difference Between Water-Resistant and Waterproof Outdoor Furniture?
Water-resistant outdoor furniture can withstand light rain and moisture to some extent but may not be suitable for heavy rain or prolonged exposure.
Waterproof furniture, on the other hand, is designed to prevent water absorption entirely, making it more resilient to rain and wet conditions. Consider the climate in your area when choosing between water-resistant and waterproof options.
How Can I Protect Outdoor Lounge Cushions From the Elements?
Invest in cushions specifically designed for outdoor use, made from water-resistant or waterproof materials.
When not in use, store cushions in a dry and ventilated area or use furniture covers to shield them from rain and harsh sunlight. Regular cleaning also helps maintain their appearance and longevity.
