Enjoying your garden is great, but making the most of every corner is even better! Too often, people underestimate the full potential of their outdoor space. This is why it is smart to properly design your outdoor area — balcony, terrace, poolside — so that your sun loungers and outdoor beds don’t clutter the space in an awkward way.

We know that selecting and arranging an outdoor sun bed can take time. A garden lounger is not only useful for optimizing personal comfort. If placed wisely, it will bring even more benefits.

Relaxing, reading, or enjoying a drink — all these daily activities are far more enjoyable on a comfortable terrace sun bed. Hosting family or friends? There’s nothing better than welcoming them with quality outdoor furniture that creates a cozy and convivial space.

We’ve listed for you some simple tips to choose your outdoor sun lounger wisely!

#1 Assess and Measure the Available Space for Your Outdoor Sun Beds

Start by visualizing and evaluating your outdoor space (excluding flower beds, planters, fountains, or BBQ areas). This will help you determine exactly how much room you have to install your outdoor bed on your terrace, garden, or balcony.

Be sure to measure the maximum length and width of the spot where you want to place your sun loungers.

• Leave enough space between each poolside bed to walk comfortably or to place a small outdoor side table — perfect for books, cocktails, or sunscreen.
• Consider sun orientation: for tanning lovers, maximize sun exposure; for readers, place loungers in the shade.

Finally, mark potential positions and decide whether you can fit one, two, or more loungers. Learn more about the outdoor bed of your choice.

#2 Evaluate the Shape and Design of Your Ideal Outdoor Sun Bed

High-quality outdoor pool loungers are essential. Think carefully about cushion thickness, frame type, and whether the fabric is water- and UV-resistant. Gather all the technical details before making your decision.

The shape, material, and color of your garden sun bed are equally important. Explore different models such as double sun beds, single loungers, sun chairs, or sun beds with canopy.

• Shape of your sun bed: round or square pool loungers
• Comfort: with or without adjustable backrest
• Durability: UV-resistant, chlorine-proof, washable loungers
• Removable cushion covers for easy cleaning

#3 Choose the Right Material and Upholstery for Your Garden Lounger

Finding the perfect garden sun bed is not always easy. Depending on your taste and needs, it’s worth taking time to compare materials and finishes. Always choose outdoor furniture that matches the atmosphere of your garden, terrace, or balcony.

• Rattan outdoor beds
• Plastic loungers
• Polyester sun loungers
• Woven rope outdoor beds

#4 Find the Best Location for Your Outdoor Bed

If you have a veranda or pergola, place the garden sun bed inside to enjoy it year-round. This also provides privacy from neighbors. Match the style and color of your outdoor loungers with your veranda and decorative garden elements to create harmony.

Pool owners can place their sun loungers by the water for maximum relaxation. Thanks to their polyester material, Diiiz outdoor beds are water-, chlorine-, and UV-resistant!

If you have a large tree, you can also place your garden sun bed underneath for shade. Alternatively, use a parasol or opt for a Shade double rattan sun bed with canopy, which eliminates the need for extra sun protection.
