POLYWOOD Chaise Lounge Features

When it comes to poolside seating, the chaise really shines. But not all are built the same. Here’s a closer look at our collections.

Coastal

Great for beachfront settings and resort-level relaxation.


Featuring Phifertex® fabric sling seats—a breathable, lightweight, and tear-resistant material—these chaises cradle you comfortably and have just the right amount of give. They dry quickly, and no cushions are required.
