25 of the Best Pool Lounge Chairs to Enjoy All Summer Long
Make a splash.
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.
From a Serena & Lily find that’s on sale for more than $500 off to a set of two chaises that are so lightweight, you can drag them around with just one finger, there are a lot of solid picks on our list below. Plus, all of our favorites are weather-proof, so even if you leave them out all year long, you’ll discover them in pretty decent shape by the time pool season rolls back around. If you’re in the market for the best pool lounge chairs, you’re likely going to find something worthy of your outdoor space ahead.
