A chaise lounge or daybed is a room’s permission to stop. It is furniture designed for a specific and undervalued activity — lying down in the middle of the day, reading, resting, being horizontal without being in bed. At Lulu and Georgia, the chaise lounge and daybed collection spans upholstered chaise longues in linen, velvet, boucle, and performance fabric, settee-style daybeds, and contemporary loungers — each chosen for comfort of construction and visual quality in a living room, bedroom, or reading corner.
What chaise lounges and daybeds does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes traditional and contemporary chaise longue silhouettes, armless and low-arm loungers, settee and bench-style daybeds with bolster pillows, and upholstered reading chaises. Most styles are available in multiple upholstery options including linen, performance linen, velvet, and boucle. Frame materials span solid wood, steel, and solid hardwood with various finish options. Both left-facing and right-facing configurations are available on select styles.
What is the difference between a chaise lounge and a daybed?
A chaise lounge (or chaise longue) is an upholstered chair extended to support the full length of the legs — with a back at one end and open at the other. A daybed is a wider, more mattress-like surface with low sides or bolsters, designed for lying across its full width. Both are intended for reclining use; the chaise is more chair-like and directional, the daybed more bed-like and flexible. Daybeds can also function as guest sleeping surfaces in a pinch.
Where should a chaise lounge go in a living room?
A chaise works best at the end of a sofa arrangement, angled toward the center of the room, or as a standalone accent piece in a corner or reading nook. It should not be pushed against a wall — the back of a chaise is a design element meant to be seen in space. In a bedroom, a chaise at the foot of the bed or in a window bay creates a dedicated reading or dressing area within the room. Minimum clearance of 18 inches on at least one side allows comfortable use.
