Chaise lounge chairs are the ultimate comfortable seating available.  Whether indoors or out, these great innovations are a beautiful and functional addition to your home. In case there is still someone out there who has never tried a chaise lounge, it is relatively low to the ground chair with a seat long enough to support your entire body. The back of the chair is often adjustable so you can sit in an upright position, lay flat all the down, like a bed; and several settings in between.  These special lounge chairs make it easy to sit up, and have a conservation, lean back while reading a book or lean all the way back and take a nice nap.  They are a staple by most swimming pools, in backyards, porches and decks.

There are so many varieties of chaise lounges, and you can buy them for inside or out.  This site focuses on the various outdoor chaise lounges available.   You can find a variety of styles, from rustic, to contemporary, to classic and a variety of materials.

Plastic chaise lounges are the easiest and cheapest to find and they hold up well to harsh weather. They should be secured during high winds though since they are usually light weight.

Resin chaise lounges are plastic too, but usually a heavier, molded plastic. These lounges are usually on the inexpensive side although some decorator chaise lounges made of resin can be expensive.

Chaise lounges have a long history that dates back to the ancient Eqyptian  days when royalty took advantage of relaxing on day beds.  You can find chaise lounges, or day beds as they were called years ago, in many different cultures too. A long with Ancient Eqypt, the ancient societies of Rome, Greece and China also enjoyed the prized furniture. Up until recent times, the chaise lounge or day bed, was usually reserved for royalty or the wealthy. The early Native Americans were the exception where many of them enjoyed sleeping in lounges they called hamacas.

Many of the day beds in medieval times and the Middle Ages, had curtains around them for warmth and privacy and to show how important they are.  The popularity of the chaise lounge continued through out the centuries and into the late 19th and early 20th century when psychiatrists used them for their patients to lie down on while analyzing them.

Although through out the ages, chaise lounges were used outdoors as well as indoors, they gained popularity for outdoor use in the 20th century as cruise ships made their appearance. Soon, many were relaxing in patio chaise lounges  in their own backyards.  Today, it would be rare to go to any swimming pool and not find chaise lounges available.
