The Best Outdoor Chaise Lounges Picked by Our Editors

Mar 9 2023 - 6:35am

If you're looking for the ultimate seating to relax outdoors with your feet up, you won't regret investing in an outdoor chaise lounge. Chaise lounges are a popular choice for comfortable outdoor furniture [1] because of how versatile they are. Because you can choose to have your reclining position go from sitting up straight to lying down, they work equally well for socializing or napping. We've scoured the market to curate a collection of bestselling, highly-rated outdoor chaise lounges that check all the boxes.

How We Test the Best Outdoor Chaise Lounges

To help you find the right fit for your lifestyle and space, we reviewed dozens of outdoor chaise lounges with the following criteria in mind:

We've considered features that make sense for a variety of needs, whether you want a pool chaise lounge that can handle a sopping-wet bathing suit or prefer something refined with plush cushions. Choosing the right design is also important because there are as many styles of chaise lounges as there are aesthetics. We've selected a range of styles from sleek and modern [5] to rustic and elevated coastal options.

Size also matters. Consider whether you want an outdoor chaise lounge that's suited for one person or a double chaise lounge that can accommodate two people. If your outdoor space lacks shade, you also might want to consider a chaise with attached coverage or at least think about where you might want to position an outdoor umbrella.

What Are the Best Materials For Outdoor Chaise Lounges?

Materials also play into the decision and can dictate the look and use of an outdoor chaise lounge. Certain hardwoods, like teak and eucalyptus, are fantastic options for outdoor furniture material because they're water and decay-resistant and can also handle exposure to light and heat. Rust-resistant aluminum, all-weather rattan, and Textilene fabrics (made from polyester yarns that are individually coated with PVC) are also popular materials well-suited for the elements. If you like the look and feel of chaise lounges with cushions, you'll want to search for cushion covers made from stain-, fade-, and mildew-resistant fabrics. Sunbrella is one popular, high-performing outdoor fabric brand that also washes easily, but there are other outdoor-friendly options as well.

Best Overall Outdoor Chaise Lounge

Serena & Lily Crosby Teak Chaise [7] ($2,798)

This option captures a luxury beach resort aesthetic with the comfort and quality to match. The frame has a hidden pull-out tray that's perfect for holding a book and a drink, and it reclines in four different positions. The cushions are made from Sunbrella fabric, so they're resistant to fading and mildew and are a cinch to clean.

Best Outdoor Chaise Lounge For the Pool

Amazon Basics Outdoor Zero Gravity Lounge Chair [8] ($49)

If you want to feel like you're floating on water, this option delivers. It's made with a steel frame and breathable, weather-resistant Textilene mesh fabric that dries quickly. This chaise lounge can handle wet bathing suits because it has plenty of ventilation, so it's perfect as a pool lounge chair. It's also adjustable, so you can choose the most comfortable reclining position and lock it into place. It can be easily folded and stored during off-seasons as well.

What Reviewers Say: "I am a lake girl at heart, and my favorite thing to do is lounge on a chair on our dock. This lounger is a game-changer for my afternoons in the sun! It is also extremely comfortable! It is durable, folds up easily, and is easy to carry. I wish I would have bought this sooner!"

Best Double Outdoor Chaise Lounge

Pottery Barn Indio Eucalyptus Double Chaise Lounge with Wheels [9] ($374, originally $749)

This extra wide option can easily fit two people on it, which is great for hosting! Its eucalyptus profile is durable but slender enough to keep it from appearing too bulky. Plus, it's currently on major sale!

Best Wood Outdoor Chaise Lounge

West Elm Portside Outdoor Textilene Lounger [10] ($639, originally $799)

Between the weather-resistant mesh material and solid eucalyptus frame, this option captures the best of both worlds. The Textilene fabric is cool to the touch and breathable, so it's perfect for hot days, while the wood adds warmth, durability, and style.

Best Teak Outdoor Chaise Lounge

AllModern Cambridge Outdoor Teak Chaise Lounge [11] ($779, originally $899)

The durable teakwood and soft weather-resistant cushions on this lounger make for a stellar combination. It reclines in four positions and even has wheels to make it easier to move into the shade.

What Reviewers Say: "Gorgeous lounges! At night I just flip down the top pillow to cover the bottom cushion and drape a towel over the chairs to keep them clean. Very happy with this purchase!"
