In pool seating: For a full enjoyment of the pool!

If we take into account that pools with a platform or wet solarium are the most requested design, which is growing the most in Spain and is most trending, then, now a question arises: How to decorate the pool platform to make it a success? In-pool seating is a great solution, do you know it?

In-pool Seating: the most trendy furniture

When we began to see pools with tanning ledge in Spain, barely two years ago, it was surprising to see that this space was left empty, without loungers, without beds, without hammocks,…

Suddenly it was like having a part of the terrace inside the pool, but with the difficulty and discomfort that, since there was no specific in-pool seationg, no one sat in that area and it became a space “without very defined use” or, even worse, people ended up sitting on the platform. With the discomfort that this entails.

Since then, the concept of the tanning ledge and decoration of the pool has evolved a lot and we already know that this platform space can not only be decorated, but that, if you do, you will give a 360º turn to the appearance, functionality and the general style of the pool and exteriors.

On the other hand, you should bear in mind that not all sun loungers are designed to be placed inside the pool and there is a big difference between conventional sun loungers and those made for inside the pool. We tell you.

Main differences in in-pool seating

If you are thinking of decorating your pool deck to enjoy the sun and the outdoors in style, you should bear in mind that most in-pool seating has not been designed for the interior of the pool.

This means that most pool loungers are not resistant to conventional water treatment, such as chlorine or chemicals, and to spending many hours in the sun.

In this way, we recommend that you inform yourself precisely about the material in which they have been manufactured to avoid dislikes later. For example, Lux Loungers sun loungers are made of a special UV-resistant resin, with a UV20 classification. This feature sets them apart from all the sun loungers on the market as they are the only ones capable of resisting up to 20,000 hours under direct sunlight. As if this were not enough, in addition to resisting discoloration for more than 10 years, its material is compatible with all types of pool water treatments.

On the other hand, a significant difference between conventional in-pool seating and Lux Loungers in-pool furniture is ergonomics and design. We encourage you to try some of the cheapest loungers you will find on the market and tell us if you would spend more than 5 minutes sitting on them. The answer will probably be no.

Quite the opposite is the case with the Lux Loungers in-pool seating: you won’t want to get out of the pool!

In fact, Lux Loungers in-pool seating has been designed in such a way that the back, the kidneys and the legs remain at rest, in a very comfortable and functional way.

What types of loungers for in the water are there?

When choosing in-pool seating for your pool, you should always think first about what functionality you are going to give it, since a young couple without children is not the same as an older couple or a family with 5 children, right?

If you are one of those who prefers to sit in a more integrated way, to read or keep an eye on the children, a highly requested option is the in-pool chai. It is a seat with a more vertical back, available in two backrest heights.

If, on the other hand, you are one of those people who enjoys peace and disconnection while lying down to see the sky and clouds, or close your eyes to totally disconnect, then the in-pool loungers are for you! At Lux Loungers we have 3 types of loungers, for different heights of the water: the chaise pool lounger and deep pool lounger.

Another very appealing option for all types of families is the bed for the interior of the pool. Available in 3 formats, it is very comfortable to be used by several people, such as a group of friends or a family with children.

Is the Lux Loungers in-pool seating for me?

If you are about to build your pool, we recommend that you discuss with your builder what depth of water your platform will have, since, if you want to include later an in-pool seating for your tanning ledge, such as this of Lux Loungers , the maximum depth is usually around 38 cm.

If, on the other hand, you already have a pool with a tanning ledge, it would be a good idea to carefully measure both the surface of the platform and the depth of the water, before buying any type of furniture. At Lux Loungers we can advise you if you are not sure.

In addition, you must take into account that in some cases the platforms do not have enough space for a bed, but perhaps for a in-pool lounger or a chair with a small table. Each case must be studied individually.

Finally, if you have had a pool for a long time, and at the time you did not include a platform, you have two options:

  • If your pool is made of concrete, you can ask your builder to reform it. This reform consists of adding an EPS regrowth in the area where the tanning ledge would go and then covering that new area, either with the same material or with another, as a contrast, like a natural stone.
  • If you do not want to go into reforms, you can add a piece of furniture that does not need a platform, such as the barstool for the interior of the pool, available in 2 heights, or the floating bed, very trendy.

Conclusion

Pools today are much more than just a swimming area. They are a space for leisure, fun and meeting with family and friends. In this line, we like to be closer to the water and less on the terrace, since that little contact with the water that we have on the tanning ledge allows us to enjoy the sun and fresh air for longer without getting hot. And there is no doubt that in-pool seating is the solution that has allowed us to turn the pool into that stylish place, where we want to be.

And you? What piece of furniture would you add to your pool?
