With summer on its way, there’s no better time to design your dream backyard — from practical outdoor fire pits, adorable pool floats, and outdoor pizza ovens to patio furniture and yes, pool lounge chairs.
Picture this: you’re blowing up your favorite pool floats (or, if you don’t have a pool: an inflatable hot tub), lounging back with a book and enjoying a summertime sangria (perhaps made with one of the best cocktail shaker sets).
A pool lounge chair will complete your relaxing backyard oasis by providing comfort and support — all while you soak up the sun. It’s also a great accessory to own for after your dips in the pool when you want to dry off or just relax after cooling down in the water.
Much like your favorite beach chair (paired with our top beach umbrellas for the season), you’ll be sitting back and relaxing in your go-to bikinis, oversized sunglasses and sunscreen (and facial sunscreen of course).
To complete your setup, you’ll need a reliable pool lounge chair to keep you relaxed. No matter what your budget or aesthetic is, there is a pool lounge chair out there for everyone.
Ahead, find the best options we rounded up from Amazon, Target and more.
