Outdoor Daybeds: Poolside Luxury for the Costa del Sol
The daybed is where the Costa del Sol lifestyle lives. A properly specified outdoor daybed, with the right height, mattress depth, and materials for pool water, sun cream and strong sun, is a true luxury investment. Get it right and it gets used every day. Get it wrong and it becomes storage.
Single Daybeds & Sunloungers
Ethimo’s Baia and Grand Life collections represent two different approaches to the single daybed: the Baia is minimal and poolside-appropriate; the Grand Life, by Christophe Pillet, pairs a teak frame with soft outdoor cushions. Gloster’s 180 is the premium teak sunlounger. Tribù offers a daybed option in several collections.
Double Daybeds
A double daybed for two people with continuous or separate mattresses is the ultimate poolside furniture statement. Several brands offer double configurations. These are typically custom-ordered with lead times of 12–16 weeks.
DEDON Hanging Loungers
DEDON’s Swingrest and Nestrest are woven hanging loungers: the Swingrest on its own freestanding frame, the Nestrest hung from a stand or a strong branch.
Roberti Gravity Hanging Sofa
Roberti’s Gravity is a round hanging sofa for two, 133 cm across, designed by Technical Emotions. The seat sits inside a light cage of powder-coated stainless steel and hangs from a single hook on high-tenacity nautical rope, made in Italy and tested against UV, in sand or black. It needs no frame of its own: hang it from a beam, a pergola or a strong branch, and the edge of the pool becomes the most comfortable seat in the garden.
There is also a Gravity Light, where the seat hangs from the ropes alone without the cage, and versions on their own stand, with or without a canopy, for terraces with nothing to hang it from. The hanging point has to be strong enough to carry it; Roberti supplies a technical sheet for the fixing.
Poolside Specifications
For poolside use, we recommend: non-porous frame materials (aluminium preferred over teak near chlorinated water), quick-drying cushion fill (Dacron or closed-cell foam), outdoor-rated fabric, and a daybed height of 30–40cm from ground level. Our team can advise on the specific specification for your pool terrace.
