Sun Lounges

Shop Affordable Sun Lounges

Choosing a cheap sun lounge or outdoor day bed for an Australian backyard involves more than picking the first style that looks good poolside. Our range covers individual reclining sun lounges, sets of two, and full lounge settings with canopies, in materials spanning wicker, timber, and powder-coated aluminium frames, each suited to a different level of outdoor exposure and ongoing maintenance. If you'd prefer a more upright seating position, our outdoor recliners are worth comparing alongside these. For a complete poolside setup, our outdoor settings range is worth browsing at the same time. Whether you're after a single affordable sun lounge or a cheap day bed setting built for the full backyard, we carry a broad selection at prices that suit most budgets. Fast delivery Australia-wide.

Single Lounges, Sets of Two, and Day Bed Settings

The most practical starting point when shopping for a sun lounge is deciding whether you want a single piece, a set of two, or a full lounge setting. Single lounges offer the most flexibility for repositioning, which is useful if you're working with a smaller patio or a pool deck where the sun moves through the afternoon. Sets of two are the more common choice for households that use the outdoor space together regularly, since matching frames and cushions from the start avoids the need to mix and match later. Full outdoor day bed settings with a canopy sit closer to a piece of outdoor furniture than a simple chair, and work well as a centrepiece for a pool deck or large patio. Our outdoor daybeds range carries options across a variety of frame finishes and canopy styles if you want to compare formats directly.

Wicker, Timber and Aluminium: Comparing Frame Materials

The three materials you'll find across our sun lounge range each suit a different outdoor setup. Wicker frames, typically woven over an aluminium or steel base, carry a classic poolside look and handle humidity well, making them a strong choice for sheltered patios and pool decks. Our wicker outdoor furniture range covers a broader selection if you want to carry that style across more of the outdoor space. Timber frames bring a resort-style aesthetic and complement timber outdoor furniture elsewhere in the yard well, though they benefit from occasional sealing to maintain their finish in wetter conditions. For the most low-maintenance option in an exposed backyard, aluminium outdoor furniture frames resist rust and require the least ongoing care regardless of the season.

Reclining Positions, Cushions and Weight Capacity

Once you've settled on material and format, a few specific details are worth checking before finalising your choice. Most reclining sun lounges in our range adjust across several positions, from near-flat for sunbathing to a more upright angle for reading, but the number of positions and the locking mechanism varies by model. Weight capacity is worth confirming for larger frames, particularly for day bed styles, and the clearance needed to recline fully is often greater than it looks in product photos. Cushion details matter too: some models include cushions as standard while others don't, and removable covers make ongoing care significantly easier over time. Protecting the set when it's not in use with outdoor furniture covers extends the life of both the cushions and frame, particularly through the wetter months when moisture is the main concern.

Completing the Poolside or Patio Setup

A sun lounge is the natural centrepiece of an outdoor relaxation area, but a few complementary pieces usually bring the full space together. A side table between two lounges is a practical addition for drinks and sunscreen, and our outdoor chairs range covers options that work well in shared entertaining spaces alongside the lounges. For a more complete outdoor area, browsing our outdoor dining range at the same time lets you plan the full space in one go and makes measuring and placing everything easier. If you want something more relaxed and self-contained alongside the lounges, a hammock from our hammock range suits garden spaces where a second sun lounge would feel like too much.

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.
