Relaxing In Chaise Lounges

Introduction

Chaise lounges have long been a symbol of luxury and convenience worldwide. It’s not normally a piece of furniture that someone will buy first to furnish their patio or reading room.  However, it is one of the first pieces someone will buy that cherishes a comfortable place to rest, read and reflect on life.

The Chaise

Outdoor chaise lounges are constructed like conventional chairs with elongated seats.  The back and arms are like a regular chair, but the long seat allows you to elevate your feet and put your legs straight out in a comfortable, relaxing position.  Casual furniture models can generally be used with or without cushions. 

A stationary chaise’s style predominately depends on the materials it is made from and its shape.  For outdoor furnishings, you will typically find two basic-shaped chaise lounges.  One will have the backrest squared off, and the other will have an arched top.  There are various armrest styles, but the most common is relatively flat, where your arms rest, and rounded or squared off, where your hands rest.  Both are very popular and can be used to match existing furniture.

Adjustable chaises are usually rectangular and used around the pool. Adjustable chaises allow you to adjust the backrest to a comfortable position for lying back for sunning, sleeping, or sitting up for relaxing and reading.

Why Choose A Chaise?

You will want a chaise if you like to relax on your patio and take advantage of the ability to lean back and stretch out and talk to your family and friends.  If you read books, you will want to own a chaise because you will sit in the most comfortable position for reading.  Most of all, chaise lounges are relaxing.  You can lay back with your feet up and enjoy the comfort of a chaise lounge chair.  Many people like them because they provide the perfect position and comfort for snoozing.

Cushions

Chaise lounge cushions make the furniture.  Choosing the right pattern fabric and the right type of cushion will ensure you will be happy and comfortable for a long time.  Standard stationary chaise lounges use a two-piece cushion set (a back and a seat cushion).  Your choices usually are a complete tufted set or a deep seating foam seat and fiber-filled backset

The tufted cushions are more economical.   Both are good choices, though.  The tufted chaise lounge cushion set has a distinct look many people like.  The deep seating foam seat cushion has a blocky flat look for the set that looks a little more formal, but the foam seats are considered more comfortable.  You can’t go wrong choosing a tufted or a deep seating chaise lounge cushion set.

Summary

Shop for a chaise lounge that is pleasing to your eyes and comfortable for your arms and body.  Pick a finish that coordinates with your existing furniture and a cushion set that enhances the decor and comfort.
