Literally meaning ‘long chair’ in French, modern iterations of the chaise lounge generally come as either a sofa extension (creating the perennially popular L shape), or as a standalone one-person lounge. Either way, the appeal of a chaise lounge is undeniably the way it encourages the user to recline, making relaxation imperative rather than optional. While the freestanding chaise conjures the idea of idle relaxation, the L shape lounge cocoons households, availing them of face-to-face interaction as a by-product of the inward-facing arrangement. In a pinch, a chaise can also double as a guest bed for short-term visitors.

However, we understand navigating the myriad of colour, fabric and shape options available, both instore and online, can be overwhelming. Luckily, we’ve got you covered. The Home Beautiful team has handpicked the best of the best when it comes to chaise lounges. Keep reading to discover the pros and cons of this living room staple.
