Sun Lounges for Poolside, Balcony and Beyond
Few pieces earn their place in an Australian backyard like a good sun lounge. The Remarkable Outdoor Living range of sun lounges covers reclining, fixed and folding designs in single and double sizes, with aluminium, timber and PE rattan frames built for intense sun, pool splash and salty coastal air — poolside, on the balcony or out on the lawn.
Reclining, Fixed or Folding
Reclining sun lounges offer four or more recline points, so you can sit up to read and lie flat to rest without leaving your seat. Fixed designs make a solid anchor for a pool deck — a canopy daybed with room for two is the classic example, and our outdoor daybeds are worth comparing alongside standard loungers. Folding and stackable models suit small gardens and seasonal use, packing away quickly when the weather turns.
Single, Double or Sun Lounge Chair
Single sun lounges measure 61 to 76 cm wide and fit tight poolsides and balconies — if floor space is really tight, browse our compact outdoor balcony furniture. Double sun lounges at 122 to 152 cm let two people relax side by side, often with independent backrests. Prefer flexibility? A two-piece sun lounge chair with footrest switches between seat and lounger, while full-length loungers and three-seat designs support you head to toe.
Frames and Fabrics
Aluminium frames are light, rust-free and easy to reposition; teak and eucalyptus hardwoods bring a classic, warm look; PE rattan weaves and powder-coated steel round out the frame options. On fabrics, look for UV-stabilised, colourfast outdoor materials such as solution-dyed acrylic or polypropylene, with quick-dry foam cushions that cope with rain and pool splash — or add dedicated sun lounge cushions made for the job. Hidden wheels and adjustable headrests make everyday use easier, and a compact outdoor side table between two lounges keeps drinks and sunscreen close.
Built for Australian Conditions
Australian UV breaks down unprotected plastics and fabrics fast, so quality sun lounges use UV-stabilised, colourfast materials and rust-free hardware. Near the coast or a saltwater pool, a fresh-water rinse after use keeps frames looking new. Fit outdoor sun lounge covers between uses to keep off dust, leaf litter and bird droppings, and add a cantilever umbrella for shade through the harshest midday hours. An outdoor rug underneath ties the whole lounging zone together.
FAQs
What should I look for when choosing a sun lounge?
Prioritise comfort, durability and adjustability: ergonomic shaping, weather-resistant materials and at least four recline points. Hidden wheels, built-in side tables and a clear weight rating make daily use easier.
Are aluminium or timber frames better for sun lounges?
Aluminium is lightweight, rust-free and needs minimal upkeep, while timber frames like teak offer a classic look but need regular oiling or sealing. For most Australian backyards, powder-coated aluminium is the lower-maintenance choice.
Which sun lounges suit coastal homes and saltwater pools?
Powder-coated aluminium frames with stainless steel hardware handle salt air and pool splash well. Rinse the frame with fresh water regularly and store or cover cushions when not in use.
What fabric is best for a sun lounge?
UV-resistant fabrics such as solution-dyed acrylic or olefin hold their colour after long sun exposure, while mesh or sling fabrics such as PVC-coated polyester dry quickly after rain or a swim.
