How to buy the best sun loungers
If you are thinking about buying a sun lounger for your pool, it is likely that you have spent some time searching, reading reviews and analyzing all its features before making a decision. The truth is that choosing among all the pool loungers on the market can be confusing, since some brands do not even clearly detail the type of material or characteristics.
To help you analyze and discover which is the best sun lounger for your pool, in this post we have detailed what you should look for. Take note!
Sun loungers: 7 keys to buy successfully
It is possible that you already have a pool and are thinking of renewing the outdoor furniture. Or you may even have just built your pool and you are considering decorating your pool with some specific in-pool furniture. Whatever your case, take note of these 7 keys, which will help you see clearly what you need for your particular case.
The height of the water
Until recently, sun loungers were located outside the pool, for example on the lawn that surrounded it. This concept of pool decoration is no longer in use with the advent of pool tanning ledge.
If your idea is to place the lounger in the water, because you have a platform, beach entrance or wet solarium inside your pool, then it is very important that you take note of how deep the water is on your platform. If you don’t know how to do it, in this post we will tell you 👉🏻 How to measure the depth of the water to be able to choose the furniture for the interior of the pool?
It is very important that you take into account the depth of the water on your platform, since this information will determine which lounger to choose. For example, at Lux Loungers we have two types of loungers, for two types of water depths:
The choice of one or the other will partly define your experience, since some people like to be more submerged in the water and others prefer that the water touches them minimally.
In addition, it is important that you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and choose a lounger suitable for the water depth of your deck, otherwise the loungers may float. [If you want to know why some loungers float, go to point 6 > Buoyancy]
Sun lounger material
You may be surprised to discover that there are all kinds of sun loungers on the market, made of different materials: plastic, aluminum, resin, wood, rattan, steel, etc.
We recommend that you first think about what will be the main place where you would like to place the loungers, since it is not the same in the water, as it is in a covered patio or on the grass.
If we focus on choosing a lounger for the interior of the pool, we recommend that you choose a material that is highly resistant to both UV rays and chemical treatments of the pool water. For this purpose the resin is excellent. At Lux Loungers we have gone one step further and have chosen UV20 category resin for all the furniture for in the water due to its excellent resistance to the sun, temperature changes and all kinds of weather conditions. The opposite is true of plastic, which discolors and cracks very easily from one season to the next.
Remember that if you choose a quality material, the pieces of furniture can last for many years without staining, losing color or shine, or deteriorating.
Use of the sun lounger
Another point to take into account when choosing a sun lounger for your pool is how you are going to use it. You should not let yourself be influenced by what other people have done well, but think about what real use you are going to give it: resting with friends in the pool, meeting with the family on weekends, sunbathing individually, play with my kids in the afternoons..
For example, at Lux Loungers we have two main models: the pool lounger and the pool chair.
The in-pool lounger is designed for those people who like to sunbathe lying down and the chair for those users who want to be incorporated, either because they like to read or do other activities at the same time, or because they want to be aware of what is happening. happens in the swimming pool, for example by taking a look at the children.
So you should choose the model according to your tastes and interests and the use you are going to give it.
Tanning ledge size
Choosing one or another pool lounger will depend to a large extent on the dimensions of your solarium, sun lounge or recreation platform.
In general, the platform should be between 1.5 m. and 2.5m. in length so that you had enough space to accommodate a sun lounger. Also, if you wanted to include, for example, two loungers, the width you would need on the platform would be of approx. 3m. On the other hand, in the event that you chose a chair, you would need an approximate length of 1.20 m. to have it.
This means that, if your pool is already built, you will have to adapt to the space you have and look for loungers that fit on your platform, otherwise, it is very possible that you buy loungers that do not work for you. However, if you are still in the phase of designing your pool, we recommend that you talk to the builder about your interest in later adding specific in-pool furniture. In this way, the builder will design for you a platform with the ideal space that you need.
Place chosen for pool loungers
Do you already know where you want to place the loungers? There are people who buy pool loungers thinking that they can be used both on the grass and in the water, and then they are surprised that they are only suitable for outdoors, not for the water.
If you want to choose successfully, we recommend that you decide in advance where you are going to place them. For example, the Lux Loungers sun loungers have been specially designed to be placed in the water, so they are highly resistant, do not contain metal parts or deteriorate.
However, if your goal is to place them on the lawn, you may be able to choose another type of sun lounger, aluminum for example. However, even if you place them out of the water, if you are going to use them to lie on them with a wet swimsuit, it is always better to opt for a high quality resin.
Buoyancy
When it comes to choosing pool loungers, buoyancy is another of the most differentiating factors. If you compare a plastic lounger “made in China” (with all due respect to the manufacturers of that country) with a resin one like the one from Lux Loungers, ours not only stands out for its quality and design, but also because it doesn’t float!
To achieve this, the Lux Loungers pool loungers have a unique filling system. This system works by filling the entire interior of the piece of furniture with pool water. Once full, it is closed with a resin stopper and the piece becomes heavy enough not to float, but not so heavy as to be impossible to move.

Accessories
The last point, but by no means least, that you should take into account is whether the lounger or pool chair has custom accessories, such as a visor, mat, elevator, etc.
This point may seem irrelevant to you, but believe us when we tell you that many people come to us to complete a lower quality lounger, because its manufacturer does not have accessories. It is not easy, after the fact, to find plug-ins that fit with the products of another manufacturer.
Some of the accessories that we offer for pool loungers are: multimedia pool shades, pool lounger cushions, pillows with a pocket for the mobile phone and auxiliary pool tables.
