What is the difference between a chaise lounge and a daybed?

A chaise lounge is a long chair for reclining, usually with a raised back or arm at one end. A daybed is a bed-sized seat, often with a back and sides, that can be used for sitting by day and sleeping at night.

Can you sleep on a chaise lounge?

A chaise is made for lounging and napping rather than nightly sleep. For regular overnight guests, a sofa cum bed or diwan is more practical.

What size are your chaise lounges?

Our chaise lounge pages list two sizes: 5 ft by 2 ft and 6 ft by 2 ft, with a 24 inch depth and a seat height of about 19 to 20 inches.

We do not list products called daybeds. For seating that also sleeps, see our sofa cum beds and our solid wood diwan bed.

What are your chaise lounges made of?

Most of our chaise lounge pages list Marandi wood, and a few list teak or solid wood, with 280 gsm suede fabric. One design lists a leather-look fabric.

A chaise lounge and a daybed both give you somewhere to stretch out, but they solve different problems. A chaise is a long reclining chair for reading and naps. A daybed is closer to a bed you can sit on. We make chaise lounges, not daybeds, so this guide describes daybeds in general terms and gives exact details only for what we sell.
