The poolside isn’t luxurious if it doesn’t have an incredibly cozy chaise lounge. Relaxing by the pool requires a comfortable seat, and a lounger is ideal.

The Petan is actually PVC-free and 100% recyclable, making this an eco-friendly piece. The large cushions are made from Sunbrella fabric, which holds up all year round.
