Outdoor Day Beds & Sun Lounges

What is an outdoor day bed?

To some, an outdoor day bed is the ultimate outside comfort, combining the comfort of indoor furniture with sunny landscapes. Sometimes referred to as a sun lounge, these furniture pieces are often cushioned and allow you to recline outside on your deck, in your garden, or by your pool.

The difference between an indoor and outdoor day bed is that outdoor day beds are designed to withstand the harsh elements, while indoor day beds are not. Made from treated wood and synthetic, weather-resistant fabric, outdoor day beds are designed with the weather in mind and will last many years when properly looked after.

What are day beds good for?

There are many reasons why you’d buy a day bed, and they’re not just limited to comfort. Here are some of the top features of a day bed:
-Suitable for anywhere: Whether it’s indoors or outdoors, your living room or under the gazebo, daybeds are a great addition to any room.
-Customisable: Day beds look great on their own, but with the addition of some cushions or a blanket, they can really work to tie together a space.
-Functional: Day beds can be a bed for one or seating for up to three people.

Do you need a special mattress for a day bed?

If your day bed didn’t come with a cushion or mattress for padding, you should be able to purchase one to fit your furniture.

Since day beds and sun lounges can be built quite differently, you’ll have to measure your piece to find a mattress that will fit. Most mattresses will be 10 to 15cm thick and covered in weather-resistant fabric. You may also opt for an additional piece to cover the backrest if your day bed has one.
