As far as we’re concerned, it’s not officially summer until we’re draped across a pool lounge chair with a margarita in hand. So we are manifesting warm weather ahead with a little wishful thinking: We spent hours scanning the Internet for the most stylish poolside chaises that not only look good but feel even better. After all, how else can you show off your freshly tanned summer glow than by spending an afternoon lounging by a glistening pool?

Here’s the thing, though: You don’t necessarily need a pool to enjoy the myriad benefits of chaises. All you really need is an outdoor space big enough to accommodate them, and you’re good to go. The best part? Most of the pool lounge chairs on our list fold up into portable chaises that are hardly bigger than a carry-on suitcase. Otherwise, commit to your outdoor area with a permanent alternative that, at the very least, totally elevates your patio.

Pros
  • Can sit in pool without wearing down
  • Ergonomic design
  • Color will not yellow
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Available in only one color
  • Expensive

When it comes to the perfect pool lounge chair, there are two factors to consider: comfort and convenience. This Frontgate find happens to feature both. It's specifically designed for ultimate relaxation (see the gently curved back and sloped body) and it can sit right in the pool without wearing down because it's made of super-durbale polyethylene. It can also withstand sun, weather, and any pool-related treatment chemicals.

The day Safavieh launched its Amazon storefront was a celebration for the House Beautiful shopping editors.
