Outdoor comfort has never been easier to obtain thanks to the invention of chaise lounge chairs. A chaise lounge is a
low profile type of lounge chair that allows the user to attain any comfortable position, whether it be lying back flat or sitting up. Ample leg support is provided by the long leg rests which are often adjustable. Lounge furniture can appeal to all tastes and styles because of the wide variety of materials and colors used in their manufacture. For example, a fan of modernity could select a suspension lounge, while an avid country lover could select a natural wooden lounge. A variety of special luxury features like cup holders, padded backs, adjustable sections and armrests makes the chaise lounge an essential backyard component.
Suspension Style Lounge
Suspension outdoor lounge chairs achieve a modern look which can fit nicely with most outdoor environments. While every model is different, the basic design is made from a metal frame with a breathable fabric backing. The fabric is designed to suspend between the two sides of the chair, allowing it to flex when body weight is applied. This gives the sensation that you are floating above the ground, easing stress on all joints. Some chaise lounge chairs have a fabric portion which is suspended with bungee cords, further enhancing the floating effect.
Thickly Padded Lounges
A padded lounge sits atop a durable frame, made of anything from wood to wrought iron. Substantial padding is added to the top and back to make them supremely comfortable. Pads often several inches thick allow the body to sink into it like a cloud. Chaise lounge cushions can be removed for easy cleaning.
Double Chaise Lounge
The double lounges feature two complete seats right next to each other. Two people can enjoy each other’s company while enjoying the outdoors. Each seat can be adjusted individually to ensure comfort for both parties.
Special Features
Adjusting the back section is usually done with a ratchet system. When not occupied, the folding lounge chair back can be adjusted to sit upright or lie flat. Some lounges have the ability to change around the position of the leg section too. If you like to move between areas of the yard, such as between the pool side and the porch, a wheeled chaise is recommended. Wheels on the back allow the lounge to scoot around like a wheelbarrow. Check out companies like Strathwood to see examples. Whether choosing a beautiful teak chaise lounge or a simple metal frame, your yard will become more user friendly.
