The Art of Sun Lounging: How to make your outdoor furniture more comfortable

artemis-lounger-l3-arl.jpg?w=1024&h=682&scale

Your choice of luxury outdoor furniture is a significant component to crafting a tranquil outdoor oasis in your patio, terrace or garden. The humble sun lounger is a true cornerstone of comfort and style, offering the ideal opportunity to relax with a good book or catch those blissful UV rays (piña colada entirely optional!). 

When it comes to selecting the perfect sun lounger, comfort is key. Most modern sun loungers are not up-to-scratch; think flimsy frames, hard textilene fabrics and paper-thin cushions. Ideal as a static piece to just look at, but not to actually relax and enjoy. Oxley’s furniture is exactly the opposite, as each piece is thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind.

Discover how we make Oxley’s luxury outdoor loungers so comfortable below…

Single vs double loungers

Before selecting your furniture, you should first determine whether a set of single loungers are fit for purpose, or if double loungers are more suited to the look and feel of your outdoor living space. Single loungers are perfect for those solitary sunbathing sessions, whereas double loungers are inherently more intimate. Whichever style you choose, ensure you opt for loungers that will complement your existing luxury outdoor furniture or décor choices.

The Sienna range is one of our best-selling lounger collections. Each piece of furniture is extremely versatile and can be styled to suit more modern or classical styles depending on your individual preference. Our single and double Sienna loungers all work wonderfully together as a luxury outdoor furniture set, offering the utmost in comfort and style.

Depth of cushions

Artemis Lounger

Who can resist a thick padded sun lounger, with cushions so deep you can’t resist sinking into them? Much like a mattress on a bed, the filling for cushions can indeed be customised. But did you know that Oxley’s is the only luxury garden furniture supplier that makes every cushion to order?

Oxley’s timeless range of sun loungers include deep filled foam bolster cushions as standard, with the option to add extra outdoor scatter cushions. Every cushion is bespoke and can be completely customised to your requirements. For our softer cushion fans, we use two densities of foam to create that velvety soft, plush feel. On the other hand, we can also make our cushions harder if that’s more your cup of tea. It’s all down to personal preference!

Cushion fabric

The fabric of your sun lounger cushions is key to creating a comfortable piece of furniture that is designed for ultimate relaxation. The majority of fabric suppliers have now raised the bar for cushion softness and comfort; moving past the dated trend of rigid, plastic-coated sun lounger cushions. 

The outdoor cushions that Oxley’s supplies are all extremely soft and tactile, and can be individually finished in your choice of colour and fabric. Our Sunbrella range of standard solution-dyed acrylic fabrics are water-resistant and soft to the touch, whilst our stylish range of polypropylene ‘enhanced’ fabrics from JAB® International are extremely resilient and rich in appearance. 

We are often asked if outdoor cushions can last in all weather conditions. Read more about how we make our outdoor cushions waterproof in our blog post.

Ergonomic support

Rissington Lounger Set

Sun loungers should be able to support your body comfortably for prolonged periods of time. Loungers that are ergonomically designed will align with the natural curvature of your body and offer support where needed, allowing you to bask in the sun without the fear of unwanted aches or pains.

Oxley’s luxury outdoor furniture is all correctly proportioned for seat depth and height, making it comfortable enough to sit on with or without cushions. Our sun loungers offer supportive armrests to make reading enjoyable, with the mattress moulding around your unique body shape to mimic that comforting cocooning feel. Every piece of furniture is personally tested to ensure it offers maximum support and comfort for those all-important sunbathing sessions.

Adjustable features

Luxor Lounger

When searching for your dream sun lounger set, we highly recommend choosing pieces with adjustable backrests: an essential element for customising comfort. Many modern loungers can cater for multiple reclining positions, including upright positioning for reading and drinking, and fully flat configurations for sunbathing or napping in the sun. Some luxury sun loungers even offer adjustable headrests for ultimate neck and head support.

Oxley’s outdoor sun loungers have various positions for the backrest, including the ability to lie fully flat. You can achieve ultimate head support with our adjustable headrests and optional scatter cushions, available in a vast array of colours and fabrics. They also come on wheels, so can be easily manoeuvred around your outdoor space. These adjustable features allow you to achieve extreme relaxation, whether you wish to enjoy people-watching by the swimming pool, reading a good book, or sipping on a tropical-inspired cocktail – or indeed, all three at once!
