Get set for spring with these stylish outdoor day beds.
Lounge outside in comfort with a stylish garden day bed that will take relaxation to a whole new level. Whether you're looking for large day beds, smaller rattan day beds, or ones that double up as sofas, there are plenty of designs to suit every kind of space.
While garden chairs and sofas are essential for informal relaxing outdoors, a day bed gives you more space and surface area to lounge, or even enjoy a little nap.
When it comes to buying an outdoor day bed, you should consider the material. Wooden garden day beds made from solid teak are incredibly durable and weatherproof, while classic rattan styles with a powder coated aluminium frame will also withstand any unexpected showers. Other reliable frames to look out for include stainless steel, wrought iron and wicker iron.
As with all outdoor furniture, it's important to take into account how much outdoor space you have. Some larger day beds, which may double up as outdoor sofas, are ideal if you have a big garden. But smaller day beds, which are like extended sun loungers or benches, are better suited to smaller gardens and patios.
Having a garden day bed is quite a luxury purchase and prices will vary, but you can find a good quality one within your budget. It very much depends on the type of day bed you choose, as well as the size and materials, but on average you can expect to pay anything from £500 up to £2,000. There are of course some luxury designs exceeding this price (we've included one for your perusal), but by and large we've kept within the average price bracket for this round-up.
So on that note, embrace the warmer weather with a stylish garden day bed. Grab your favourite book and unwind on one of these must-have designs...
