Outdoor Daybeds

Outdoor Daybeds

When planning your outdoor living space, an outdoor daybed helps create a fun, chic, and relaxing space. A patio daybed offers a place to enjoy Sunday brunch, read a book in the afternoon, and gather with friends in the evening sipping wine. Regardless of what you plan to use your outdoor daybed for, it is a must-have for any outdoor living space. 

Before You Buy

When shopping for an outdoor patio daybed, you want to make sure you select one that not only fits in your space but is also comfortable enough to spend all afternoon relaxing on. 

Here are some of the things to consider before buying your outdoor daybed: 

• How ample is your space, and what size outside bed will comfortably fit in your outdoor living area without overpowering the space? 
• Will you also need to purchase a side table or other furniture to accompany the outdoor daybed? 
• How many people do you need to have seating for? 
• What styles, colors, and designs are you looking to add to your outdoor living area?
• What is the weather like where you live? (The weather determines the material used to construct your daybed.)
• What purpose will the outdoor daybed serve? 
• Will you need extra storage in the daybed? 

Features to Consider

Outdoor daybeds come in many designs offering many features needed to enhance your outdoor living space. 

Canopy

When you are lounging outside on your wooden outdoor daybed it can get hot during the summer months. Outdoor daybeds with a canopy provide you shade to enjoy your outdoor daybed during the day when the sun is shining its brightest. A canopy also helps protect you from harmful UV rays when sitting in direct sunlight. 

Cushions and Throw Pillows

Cushions and throw pillows add extra comfort to your outdoor daybed and can add a splash of color to your outdoor living space. Select outdoor cushions that are weather-resistant and easy to clean, and choose throw pillows with removable covers for easy cleaning. 

Materials

The many materials used to create modern outdoor daybeds provide many benefits. Materials used include those that are weather-resistant, fade-resistant, fire-resistant, and easy to maintain. In addition, those looking for eco-friendly outdoor daybeds can find options made from recycled and sustainable materials. 

Types of Outdoor Daybeds

There are many types of outdoor daybeds, and when shopping for one, you want to purchase the best design to fit your outdoor living space needs. However, there are three general types of outdoor daybeds — a one-piece, sectional, and hanging. 

• One-Piece Outdoor Daybeds. A one-piece outdoor daybed is designed as a single piece of furniture with a single purpose — to be a comfortable daybed. One-piece daybeds are typically rectangular, but some are round. This type of outdoor daybed may or may not have a canopy. One-piece daybeds can be very elaborate in design, while some are simple with a contemporary design. 
• Sectional Outdoor Daybeds. Sectional outdoor daybeds are made using four individual pieces that can be used as individual seats or pushed together to create a daybed big enough for two adults. This type of outdoor daybed provides lots of flexibility in using the furniture and placing it in your outdoor living space. 
• Hanging Outdoor Day Beds. Hanging outdoor daybeds are suspended furniture, similar to a porch swing, and function identically to a sizable rigid hammock. Though very relaxing, hanging outdoor daybeds require a stable structure to suspend the piece of furniture. 

How to Choose Outdoor Daybeds

There are many things to consider when shopping for the perfect daybed for your outdoor living area. To help choose an outdoor daybed, determine which features are important to you and base your decision on a daybed that fits your desired needs. 

• Comfort. The purpose of an outdoor daybed is to provide a place for you to relax and enjoy time outside. Therefore, your daybed should be comfortable, especially if you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors on it; otherwise, it would not serve its purpose. For added comfort, select a daybed with extra outdoor cushions and throw pillows. 
• Size and Shape. Before shopping for your outdoor daybed, measure the space you have available on your patio or porch. The size of your area will significantly affect the size of the daybed you can purchase. Once you know the size of the daybed you need, determine if you want a round, rectangle, or square (for two people) outdoor daybed. 
• Color.Shop for an outdoor daybed in a color that matches your existing design and decor. For pops of color, add bright cushions and throw pillows to your daybed. 
• Shade.When shopping for an outdoor canopy bed, you need to determine if you need shade or if you will have plenty of shade on your patio. If shade is needed, you can purchase a daybed with a built-in canopy or buy an umbrella and stand to provide the shade required.
• Purpose. What is the purpose of your daybed? Will it be used for your comfort to relax outside? Or will it need to serve as additional seating on your patio? Determining the purpose of your outdoor daybed can help you choose the best one for your needs. 
• Material. When shopping for an outdoor daybed, you want one made out of durable and long-lasting material. Select materials that are fade-resistant and weather-resistant to ensure your outdoor furniture lasts a long time. 
• Cost. Your budget will determine which outdoor daybeds you can shop from. Set your budget, then start looking for daybeds that fit within the budget yet have all the features you seek.
