The Best Lounge Chairs for the Pool
Relax Resort-Style
Whether you're sipping spritzes with friends, watching the kids splash around, or indulging in an afternoon read, the right pool lounge chair elevates every moment. Here's how to choose the best one for your space.
What to Look for in a Pool Lounge Chair
A great pool lounger isn’t just stylish; it’s smartly built for life outdoors. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Water- and UV-resistant materials: Look for teak, powder-coated aluminum, or durable sling fabric. These materials resist fading, rust, and wear over time. Resin and marine-grade polymer are great waterproof materials often used in in-pool loungers.
- Quick-dry cushions: Poolside lounging means wet swimsuits. Choose loungers with quick-drying technology or cushion-less styles for a clean, low-maintenance look.
- Adjustable comfort: A reclining backrest allows for laid-back lounging or upright reading with ease.
- Easy to move (or store): Stackable or lightweight designs make seasonal storage effortless. Many chaise loungers come with wheels for assisted transport.
- Design harmony: Your lounger should feel like a natural extension of your poolscape, whether sleek and modern or rustic and relaxed.
