20 Chic and Comfortable Loungers for Your Pool Area

If you're lucky enough to have a pool in your backyard (we don't mean the inflatable kind!), why not turn it into the personal oasis it's meant to be? With the right landscaping and patio furniture, your pool area will be ripe for relaxing with a thrilling summer read in between dips.

While lots of chaise lounges are admittedly on the pricey side, you don't have to settle for a flimsy plastic one if you're on a budget. There are plenty of outdoor chairs that strike the right balance between comfort, aesthetic, and price.

If you want the best of the best, look to brands like Serena & Lily, Pottery Barn, or Crate & Barrel. But there are plenty of great options at more reasonably-priced retailers like IKEA, Wayfair, and Amazon. In many cases, you can even find a set of two for the same price as a single.

Though comfort is key—think ergonomic designs and plush cushions to prevent back pain—you'll also want to look for important convenience features, like wheels or even attached side tables, moveable ottomans, and water-resistant constructions perfect for your pool's sun shelf.

Ahead, a sampling of some of the best pool lounge chairs money can buy.
