Plaisir du Jardin: Summer Loving

If you are going to spend your day hanging around the pool with friends and family this Festive Season, then let Plaisir du Jardin make it an unforgettable experience, a day synonymous with complete relaxation, comfort and switching off from the daily grind.

How do you ask…with the perfect sun lounger, of course!

Here’s what to keep in mind when selecting yours for the perfect combination of comfort, durability and functionality.

Location, location, location

If your lounger will purely be used undercover, you have a wider choice of materials and fabrics to choose from, as your lounger will not be too exposed to the elements. You could indulge in a fully upholstered lounger or a lounger made of hardwood with plush cushions made from stain and water-resistant fabrics.

Will you use your lounger poolside?

If yes, then the quest to find comfort, durability and function becomes a little more challenging. But luckily, Plaisir du Jardin is here to guide you on how to make the right choices.

“The best material you can opt for is a lounger with a powder-coated aluminium frame,” says the company. “This system of electrostatic paint adhesion onto the aluminium adds durability to the product and ensures minimal maintenance and longevity.”

If you live directly on the coast, special precautions should be taken to avoid corrosion of your lounger. Speak to a hardware specialist who can recommend the best products for treating your aluminium from corrosion.

And if you like to reposition your lounger to follow the sun, look for light loungers with wheels. With one hand, you can move things around to enjoy the most out of your day.

Lastly, choose a durable fabric. “The best fabric for lounger seats is Ferrari Batyline®, Sling or Textilene fabrics, all manufactured and recyclable,” says Plaisir du Jardin. “But be careful, not all polypropylene fabrics are created equal, so assess the strength and resistance of the lounger fabric and make sure the fabric is mildew resistant and is easy to clean.”
