Chaise LoungeA chaise lounge is
an upholstered couch in the shape of a chair that is long
enough for people to stretch out their legs to rest. It is
often also called "chaise lounge" in North America, especially
in the furniture industry. This spelling and pronunciation has
become well established so far people think it is an English
word. Chaise longue is actually a borrowed name for curious
combination of chair and daybed. But take at a quick glance at
the word longue, something would remind you the English word
lounge. Lounge became folk etymology¡¯s contribution to the
name of the artifact, so that some Americans now both spell
and pronounce it as an American hybrid, chaise lounge. Both
terms are Standard today, but those who know French still take
exception to chaise lounge. |

The chaise lounge will definitely bring people into the
ultimate beautiful hours in outdoor summer relaxation no matter you
are tanning by the pool, taking a break after an afternoon of yard
work, relaxing in the warm sun with your legs stretched out, cold
drink in hand, super sizzling on the barbecue. A chaise lounge was
traditionally used as a daybed for people, a chair with a long seat
for you to recline with the feet elevated ¨C as we all know that this
is such a great way to rest and stretch out.
Chaise lounges
come in many kinds of materials: resin, aluminum, teak and wicker
and more. Most wooden chaise lounges are made from high-density
hardwood with excellent weather-resistant properties. The bench¡¯s
slotted surface allows rain to flow through, rather than collect the
rainwater, which will definitely bring damage to the wood. Hardwood
chaise lounges are sturdy and light enough for people to move around
in the garden area. Enough oil will be helpful to repel the ravages
of rain, sun, and dew. Rust-resistant hardware and mortise and tenon
structure also enhance the strength and durability of the furniture.
Resin chaise lounges are comfortable and affordable for
everyone who likes to linger around in the garden. Usually made
white in color, resin chaise lounges are manufactured for years of
trouble free service. Anyone who is familiar with resin would know
that this material is extremely good for outdoor furniture. It would
not warp, split and fade under any kind of bad weather situations.
It is also naturally resistant to heat, mildew, chlorine and suntan
oil. Some of them even have a adjustable back for you to recline in
a perfect good angle.
There are also portable chaise lounges
that are light weighted and can be fold together so people could
carry it around easily and store it somewhere in a small space. The
main frame is made of rustproof aluminum thus provides a strong
structure to keep the surface fabric tight enough to hold people¡¯s
body but still comfortable enough because the fabric still curves to
offer a relaxed seating position. Of course you can add a pillow to
achieve the maximum of comfort. The weather-resistant nylon fabric
dries quickly, and resists mold and harsh UV exposure under the sun.
When folded, the curve of the lounge nestles close to the body,
making it easy to carry without having to struggle awkwardly with
arms held out to the side as with traditional lounges.
