Circular Chaise Lounges: The Advantages And Disadvantages

By Stephanie Bonilla


For a long time, I have been attracted to the look of round furniture. They are one-of-a-kind and fascinating without getting too complicated or expensive. A round lounger like the Orbit Lounger is especially intriguing since it is very versatile and therefore more functional.

This got me thinking about the pros and cons of round loungers. Knowing the differences can make a buying choice much easier. Let's take a look at a few of them below:.

Pro: Additional Seating.

A chaise lounge can obviously be used for relaxing in the sun. However, when positioned flat, many round lounges can offer added seating. In fact, they look like a huge ottoman as opposed to a chaise lounge, so they don't appear out of place when used at a party for added seating.

Con: No Arms.

Round loungers typically have no armrests. While this might not matter to some individuals, to others, it is a disadvantage. Armrests can be comfortable for putting your arms, but likewise can be used for attaching cup holders and other accessories that put products conveniently close by.

Pro: Good for Small Spaces.

Round loungers fit much better in corners than the square version. They take up less area, which can be vital if you plan on using the furnishings indoors throughout the colder months. Yes, a square lounge can fit in a corner, but most likely not at the angle you prefer. The circular shape just gives you more adaptability and choices without needing to give up area.

Con: Less Accessible Replacement Parts.

Since round lounge chairs are less common, replacement cushions are occasionally harder to locate. This is something to have a look at prior to buying a round furniture item. Does the company sell replacement cushions? If you intend on using your lounger for years to come, you do not want to be using worn-out cushions or busted parts.

Pro: No Sharp Corners.

Round furniture does not have corners, obviously. If you have young children running around or have friends who are good at bumping into your sofas, chairs and tables, round products can be helpful and less painful. You could get hooked on round furniture after you experience this advantage.

As far as comfort and function, a round lounger is virtually the same as the square or rectangular design. Both recline the same, offer about the same quantity of seating area and are generally matching in length.
