Double Chaise Lounge: Width, Poolside Fabrics and Picks
Double chaise lounge or two singles? Five doubles from $150 to $765 compared on printed width, length, weight capacity, poolside fabrics and drawbacks.
Two towels, two drinks and one lounger, and somebody ends up on the pool deck. The usual fix is to buy whatever is labelled double, but four of the five pages below print a width between 43 and 56¼ inches and the printed weight capacity runs from 250 to 800 lb (one page prints two different figures and another none), while a pair of folding singles from one maker costs $99.99 (price for reference only). So this page sets the doubles against two singles, then covers the space they need and what each maker’s page claims about poolside wear, before five picks from $150 to $765, each with who it suits and what it gives up.
The short answer
| Pick | Best for | Printed size (in) | Price (reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Costway Dual Rocker Sunbed | The lowest price, with a canopy and a rocking base | 72 x 54 x 65 (seat 78 x 47) | $150 |
| Costway Patio Double Chaise with Retractable Canopy | The narrowest, with two independent backrests and side trays | 87 x 43 x 52 | $280 |
| Sunnydaze Sling Double Chaise with Canopy | A sling seat on wheels, under a canopy | 54 x 79 x 70 (seat 48 x 82) | $299 |
| Noble House Perla Double Chaise | A wood frame with cushions, four positions and wheels | 56¼ x 79¼ x 37¼ | $500 |
| Modway Sojourn Sunbrella Double Chaise | Sunbrella cushions on an aluminum frame | 47 x 78½ x 13½–36½ (seat 52 wide) | $765 |
Double chaise lounge or two singles?
The cheapest comparison is inside one maker’s range. Costway’s 2-piece folding chaise set is $99.99 for two (price for reference only; Coffee, Black or Gray), and each chaise prints 25 inches wide with a 330 lb capacity, so two side by side are 50 inches wide and carry 660 lb between them (our arithmetic). The same page prints a 36 x 25 x 6 inch folded size and says no assembly is needed. Against that, the Costway doubles here are $150 for the rocker and $280 for the rattan one, at 54 and 43 inches wide (our reading of the rocker’s page, which prints 72 x 54 x 65 and a 78 x 47 seat).
What you get for the extra money is one footprint, a shared canopy, and for the rattan model two backrests you can set independently: the page lists six positions with the backrest 13 to 38 inches high, and a folding side tray at each side. What you give up is flexibility, because two singles can be angled apart, faced at the sun separately, and folded flat in winter, while the doubles here print weights of 48.5 to 83.78 lb where a weight is given (the Modway page prints none). If you want to share one canopy and one side-table gap, buy the double; if the two of you lie at different angles or one of you is away half the summer, a pair is the cheaper test (our suggestion).
Moving it is the other difference. Of the five doubles, the Sunnydaze and Noble House pages list wheels, and the Noble House at 83.78 lb is the heaviest weight printed. The Sunnydaze’s weight is 50 lb in its spec table and 56 lb in its description. The other three pages list no wheels.
Will a double chaise lounge fit beside the pool?
Tape the printed footprint on the deck before you order. The four pages that label their dimensions print overall widths of 43 to 56¼ inches and overall lengths of 78½ to 87: the Costway rattan model is 87 long and 43 wide, the Modway 78½ and 47, the Sunnydaze 79 and 54, and the Noble House 79¼ and 56¼. Two of them print a bigger figure elsewhere on the same page: the Sunnydaze’s description gives a seat 48 wide and 82 deep, so tape 82 rather than 79, and the Modway’s spec lists a seat 52 wide against its 47 overall width, so tape 52. The Costway rocker’s page prints 72 x 54 x 65 as its overall size without saying which is which, and a 78 x 47 seat, which is longer than 72, so tape at least the 78 inch seat length plus the base (our suggestion). Wherever a page prints two sizes, tape the larger.
Height matters under a pergola or an umbrella: the Sunnydaze prints 70 inches with its canopy up, the Costway rocker 65 and the rattan model 52.
None of the five product pages gives a distance from the chaise to the pool edge, so the clearance is yours to choose. Leave a walking lane on the side and at the foot where you will step with wet feet, and tape it as well as the chaise (our suggestion). A rocking base also moves beyond its footprint, so leave extra room at both ends of the Costway rocker (our suggestion). On a small deck, start with our small patio ideas.
Pool chaise lounge wear: frames, fabric and cushions
None of the six product pages read for this guide (the five doubles and the Costway pair) mentions chlorine or salt water, so how each copes with pool water is not something those pages say. What they do claim, by maker:
- Costway’s rocker: a metal frame, a canopy the page calls sunlight resistant, anti-fading and tear-resistant, and a seat fabric it describes as durable and ventilated. There is no cushion to soak up water, only two detachable headrest pillows (our reading).
- Costway’s rattan model: PE rattan the page calls anti-fading and sunproof, an aluminum-legged metal frame, and zippered cushion covers. The page also says to avoid rain exposure for prolonged service life, and it does not say how the cushions cope with splashes (our reading).
- Sunnydaze’s sling: a sling seat and back the page calls easy to maintain, on a powder-coated steel frame it describes as rust-resistant.
- Noble House’s Perla: a wood frame the page calls teak acacia, with cushion covers that are water-resistant and unzip for washing.
- Modway’s Sojourn: a powder-coated aluminum frame and synthetic rattan weave; its feature list includes Sunbrella fabric, “Water & UV Resistant” and machine-washable cushion covers.
Sling and fabric seats have no foam to hold water, while cushioned models (Costway rattan, Noble House, Modway) have foam under covers (our reading). Frame materials and winter storage are covered in our patio furniture guide.
| Pick | Printed size (in) | Capacity / weight (lb) | Frame and seat | Canopy / wheels | Price (reference) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Costway Dual Rocker Sunbed | 72 x 54 x 65 (order not labelled); seat 78 x 47 | 660 / 48.5 | Metal; ventilated fabric | Canopy / none listed | $150 |
| Costway rattan with canopy | 87 x 43 x 52 (L x W x H) | 800 / 69 | PE rattan, metal frame; cushions | Retractable canopy / none listed | $280 |
| Sunnydaze Sling Double | 54 W x 79 D x 70 H; seat 48 W x 82 D | 440 / 50 (56 in the description) | Powder-coated steel; sling | Canopy / wheels | $299 |
| Noble House Perla | 56¼ W x 79¼ D x 37¼ H | 250 in the spec table, 600 in the page’s Q&A / 83.78 | Wood; cushions | None listed / 2 wheels | $500 |
| Modway Sojourn | 47 W x 78½ D x 13½–36½ H; seat 52 W | Not printed / not printed | Aluminum, synthetic rattan; Sunbrella cushions | None listed / none listed | $765 |
The picks, cheapest to dearest
All five are one-piece doubles, not sets. For a sofa-and-chaise arrangement, see our outdoor conversation sets.
Costway Dual Rocker Sunbed
For the lowest price with shade: a metal frame and a polyester canopy, with a seat fabric the page calls ventilated, so there is no foam to hold pool water. The page lists a 660 lb capacity and suggests one person can assemble it. It suits two people who want a shaded rocker for a deck rather than a chaise they can set at several angles.
Drawbacks: The page prints an overall length of 72 and a seat length of 78, so tape the larger one. It lists no wheels and no backrest positions, only a rocking base with anti-toppling stoppers, and no cushion beyond two headrest pillows.
Costway Patio Double Chaise Lounge with Retractable Canopy
For the narrowest double, 43 inches wide, with two backrests that adjust independently across six positions (13 to 38 inches high) and a folding side tray at each side. The page lists PE rattan it calls anti-fading and sunproof, zippered cushion covers and an 800 lb capacity, the highest printed here. It suits a tight pool deck where width is the limit.
Drawbacks: The page says to avoid rain exposure for prolonged service life, and it lists no wheels, so it is a heavier 69 lb to shift around the deck. At 87 inches it is the longest of the five.
Sunnydaze Sling Double Outdoor Chaise Lounge with Canopy
For a sling seat on wheels. The page calls the sling seat and back easy to maintain, the powder-coated steel frame rust-resistant, and lists a canopy, two headrest pillows and wheels that make it easy to move out of the way for yard work. It suits a deck where the chaise has to be pushed aside; the buy link goes to the Home Depot page where the price was read.
Drawbacks: The page prints no recline positions, so you cannot tell whether both seats recline separately. It stands 70 inches tall with the canopy, its description gives an 82 inch seat depth against the 79 overall depth, and the weight is 50 lb in the spec table and 56 lb in the description.
Noble House Perla Double Chaise Lounge
For a wood frame with cushions. The page lists four positions up to completely flat, two wheels on the bottom, and water-resistant cushion covers that unzip for washing. It suits a covered or dry-side deck where you want the look of wood, once you have confirmed which capacity applies (250 lb in the spec table, 600 lb in the Q&A; our suggestion).
Drawbacks: The spec table prints a 250 lb capacity while the brand's Q&A answers on the same page say 600 lb, so confirm the figure with the seller before you buy for two adults. It is the widest (56¼) and heaviest (83.78 lb) here, and the page lists no canopy.
Modway Sojourn Outdoor Patio Sunbrella Double Chaise
For the aluminum frame and Sunbrella fabric. The page lists a powder-coated aluminum frame and synthetic rattan weave, and its feature list includes Sunbrella fabric, “Water & UV Resistant”, machine-washable cushion covers and an adjustable recline, and says it ships pre-assembled. It suits a pool deck where you want washable cushions on an aluminum frame, and can live with no printed capacity.
Drawbacks: The page prints an overall width of 47 and a seat width of 52, so tape the 52. It prints no weight capacity or weight, and lists no canopy or wheels. It is marked as a closeout, so it may not stay listed, and the price depends on the cushion colour: the Chocolate Tuscan option is $1,516.
Which double chaise lounge fits you?
Printed widths are labelled differently (see the fit section), so use them to shortlist and then tape the footprint (our suggestion).
- Under 47 inches of width: the Costway rattan model (43).
- 47 to 52 inches: the Modway, printed 47 overall with a 52 inch seat, so plan for 52.
- 54 to 56¼ inches: the Sunnydaze (54), the Costway rocker (54, our reading of its page) and the Noble House (56¼).
- Two adults who weigh more together: the Costway rattan model prints 800 lb, the rocker 660 and the Sunnydaze 440; the Noble House page prints 250 in its spec table and 600 in its Q&A, so confirm with the seller.
- Wet swimsuits and no cushions to dry: the Sunnydaze sling and the Costway rocker, which have no foam cushions listed (our reading); the Modway’s Sunbrella covers machine-wash.
- Moving it for yard work: the Sunnydaze or the Noble House, the two that list wheels.
- Different angles for each of you: a pair of singles, or the Costway rattan model’s independent backrests.
- Filling the rest of the patio: see our best outdoor furniture.
Where these numbers come from
Sizes, capacities, materials and prices (shown without a code) come from the Costway, Modway and Home Depot product pages, read on 10 November 2026. The pair width, the combined capacity and the width and length ranges are our arithmetic from those pages, and the pool-edge advice is our suggestion.
Frequently asked questions
Is a double chaise lounge better than two single loungers?
It depends on what you want. In one maker's range (Costway), a folding pair is $99.99 (price for reference only) and two side by side are 50 inches wide (our arithmetic), against 43 inches for its rattan double and 54 for its rocker (our reading). The double gives one footprint and a shared canopy, and the rattan model has two independently adjustable backrests, while a pair folds flat and lets each person choose an angle.
How much space does a double chaise lounge need?
Where the order is labelled, the four pages that label their dimensions print overall widths of 43 to 56¼ inches and lengths of 78½ to 87 (the Sunnydaze's description gives an 82 inch seat depth and the Modway a 52 inch seat width, so tape the larger figure); the Costway rocker prints 72 x 54 x 65 and a 78 x 47 seat, so tape the 78 inch seat length. None of the five pages gives a distance from the pool edge, so tape a walking lane too (our suggestion).
What should a pool chaise lounge be made of?
None of the six pages read mentions chlorine or salt water. Their claims differ by maker: Modway lists a powder-coated aluminum frame, and its feature list includes Sunbrella fabric and “Water & UV Resistant”; Sunnydaze a powder-coated steel frame it calls rust-resistant with an easy-to-maintain sling, and Noble House water-resistant cushion covers on a wood frame. Check the maker's care page for pool water before you buy.
How much weight can a double chaise lounge hold?
The printed capacities differ: 440 lb for the Sunnydaze, 660 lb for the Costway rocker and 800 lb for the Costway rattan model; the Noble House Perla page prints 250 lb in its spec table and 600 lb in its Q&A, so confirm it with the seller, and the Modway Sojourn page prints none. Compare the figure with the two of you together (our suggestion).
