10 Of The Best Outdoor Daybed Reviews

Imagine the picture… It is a beautiful summer day. The garden is lush and the lawn beautifully manicured, while the patio screams perfection. What more could you want? How about a daybed? Not any daybed, mind you, but the best outdoor daybed for your buck! Just imagine being able to laze in the warm sun, drinking up the rays while the barbeque is doing its thing. Do you like the picture? Of course you do. But what do you need to know before choosing one? Let’s find out

About outdoor daybeds

Deciding on the best outdoor daybed is not just about going to the shop, pointing at the first one you see, and buying it. In fact, you need to decide on the perfect daybed much the same way you would go about choosing any piece of furniture for your home.

1.  Space

Typically, an outdoor daybed would go outside. But where do you intend putting it exactly? If on your patio, is your patio covered? Or is it open to the elements? This plays a role in the type of daybed you get. One that stands in full sun for much of the day, for example, may need some sort of cover to protect you from burning, while you would need to take the material it is made of into consideration. Not all materials can stand up to all types of weather conditions, for example.

Also falling under the category of ‘space’ is the area space into which it would fit. If space is not an option, a large, round daybed in which you can lounge and really stretch out may be just the thing. But if space is confined, you may decide to consider a more traditional style daybed that fits up against a wall, giving you some room for leg space, to place a table, or in which to walk.

2.  Material

Outdoor daybeds are made out of various types of materials. Those who have a frame made out of solid wood may be treated to withstand different weather conditions, but you may have to treat that wood every so often to ensure that it lasts for a number of years.

On the other hand, those made out of rattan or wicker, or even plastic-treated products, may be able to withstand different weather conditions for a much longer period of time.

Do take these thoughts into consideration when buying your outdoor daybed.

3.  Finishing touches:

The finishing touches, to a large extent, is a question of choice and style. On the whole, though, you may opt to look at cushion and pillow covers that can withstand the elements and that may need only a wipe down in order to stay clean. Alternatively, of course, especially if you are someone that prefers to bring them inside or stow them away safely, you could take a look at cushions and pillows that have zippers. This allows you to remove your covers, wash them, and, after they are dried, simply cover your cushions and pillows again, easily zipping them back up until next time.

4.  Define your style

Each of us has their own unique style. You see this the minute you walk through the front door. Do you want to extend your entire style out to your patio or do you prefer to let your patio have its own unique style that perhaps blends in with your garden design? This is something you may need to take into consideration before making that purchase.

But no matter your unique style, the variety of daybeds that are available allow you the opportunity to pick that perfect fit that complements your home, garden, and your personality.

5.  The finishing touches

Nothing screams style so much as the finishing touches. Finishing touches are a reflection of who you are, and your personal style and flair. Whether you opt for vibrant pillows or mellow hues, or lovely textured throws, the end product tells the story of your style, your space, and your particular personality. So pile them on or leave it minimalistic. The end result is a reflection of you.

What do you want it to tell people of you and your home? Besides offering great seating space outside, it can also serve to brighten up a space and give it that extra touch of style and comfort.

Coming up with a winner for the title “best outdoor daybed” was relatively easy this time. This was not because we had anything against any of the daybeds reviewed, but simply because we were looking around for one for our own patio which is undercover, and runs most of the length of the home. The downside is that it is not very wide, so our winner is the “Cheval Daybed with Cushions by Beachcrest Home”.Besides fitting our limited space perfectly, we loved the elegant, classy feel of this daybed and it fits in wonderfully with the rest of our décor as well.
