Working out which format suits the spot

A single sun lounge takes up the least room and can work well beside a pool, on a deck or in a smaller courtyard. Sets of two make sense if you're setting up a larger poolside or outdoor area and want matching seating. A day bed is wider and deeper, giving you more room to stretch out, and some designs include a canopy or shade hood. If you'd rather sit more upright, our outdoor chairs range has more options for dining, entertaining and everyday outdoor seating.

Measuring for a sun lounge

A sun lounge is longer than a standard outdoor chair, so check the full dimensions against your available space. If the backrest is adjustable, leave enough clearance behind it to recline without hitting a wall, fence or other furniture. If you're placing two side by side, leaving some space between them can make it easier to get in and out and gives you room for a small side table. 

Comparing sun lounge materials

PE wicker is a common choice for outdoor furniture, combining the woven look of wicker with a synthetic material designed for outdoor use. Timber gives you a more natural finish and may need cleaning or oiling depending on the type of timber and the care instructions. Timber outdoor furniture can also be a good match if you already have a wooden dining or lounge setting outside.

Whatever material you choose, a furniture cover can give the lounge some extra protection from sun, rain, dirt and leaves when it isn't being used. Browse our outdoor furniture covers and check the dimensions against your lounge.

Thinking about cushions, canopies and shade

Some lounges come with cushions, while others use a woven, timber or other finished surface as the seat itself. If you choose a cushioned design, check whether the covers can be removed and follow the care instructions for cleaning and storage.

A canopy can provide shade over part of the lounge without needing a separate piece of furniture. If you want to shade a larger area, a market umbrella can cover the lounge and surrounding space. Consider where the sun falls throughout the day when deciding where to position either option.

Setting up a poolside or deck area

A poolside setting that pairs lounges with a small table gives you somewhere for drinks, sunscreen and a phone without taking up the space of a larger outdoor setting. On a deck, patio or lawn, work with the available shade, outlook and surrounding furniture when deciding where the lounges should go.

Sun Lounge FAQ

How do I choose between reclining sun lounges and day beds?

Choose based on how you will use it most. Reclining sun lounges are great if you want adjustable back support for reading or sunbaking. Day beds suit longer lounging and can feel more like outdoor seating. Check the overall dimensions and recline positions on the listing so it fits your space and comfort needs.

What length and recline clearance should I measure before buying?

Measure the area where it will sit, then check the lounge length and width on the listing. For reclining models, allow extra clearance behind the backrest and around the sides so it can adjust without hitting walls, rails, or plants. Also measure access paths for moving it into place, especially for larger frames.

Which specs matter most: weight capacity, frame material, and cushioning?

Start with weight capacity for safety and stability. Then compare frame material for outdoor exposure and how it will be stored, like under cover or fully exposed. Cushioning affects comfort and upkeep, so check thickness, fabric type, and whether covers are removable. Use the listing specs to compare these quickly.

Do these sun lounges arrive assembled, or need simple home assembly?

It varies by model, so check the product listing for packaging and assembly notes. Many arrive flat packed or partly assembled for easier shipping. Instructions and tools are included. For larger lounges or day beds, two people helps with aligning parts and lifting safely, and if you'd prefer a hand, our partnership with Airtasker makes it easy to find a local professional to assist.
