Chaise Lounge Dimensions (with Pictures)

Traditionally, a chaise lounge is an indoor piece of accent furniture for your living space. However, you can often find chaise lounges outdoors by the pool or on decks and patios. Many indoor and outdoor chaise lounges have an adjustable back that can transition from sitting to reclining.

Indoor and outdoor chaise lounges are versatile. You can sometimes find an indoor chaise lounge that has hidden storage under the seat cushion. Indoor chaise lounges come in several colors and materials, ranging from neutral colors to bright jewel tones.

Outdoor chaise lounges can feature a variety of materials, often waterproof but sometimes rattan or wicker. Most outdoor chaise lounges are constructed of steel and have padded cushions for comfortability.

There are key elements that define a chair design for your chaise lounge. The chair design has a seat contour in order to support your legs. These chaise lounge chairs usually have an adjustable back to increase or decrease the angle of elevation.

The French chaise lounge chair is unique in design and comes in three different categories. These categories are Meridian, Duchess brisée, and Recamier. When deciding which style you want, ask yourself if you prefer a full back, half back, or no back.

The Meridian French chaise lounge chair has an asymmetrical design with a high headrest, low footrest, and sloping back. This style was popular in the early 19th century in the homes of wealthy French men. They can feature ornate woodwork, tufting, and high-end fabrics, but more modern versions are available.

If you invest in an outdoor chaise lounge, it’s a good idea to keep it covered when not in use. Measure your chaise lounge chair’s dimensions before buying a cover. Round measurements to the nearest inch to buy an appropriately-sized lounge cover.

Starting at the widest point, use a measuring tape to measure from the front of the base of the front legs. You can calculate the depth from the front of the legs to the back of the legs. The height of the chaise should stretch between the ground to the top of the furniture.

When taking measurements, always go from left to right. Include an inch or two more than your measurements so that the cover can breathe.
