Day Beds and Sun Loungers

Designer Day Beds and Sun Loungers

Designer sun loungers and outdoor daybeds create a dedicated space for relaxing in the garden, beside a pool or across a larger terrace. From adjustable single loungers to generous double sunbeds and sheltered daybeds, the right design can turn an exterior space into somewhere intended for much more than dining.

RB12's collection of designer day beds and sun loungers brings together contemporary outdoor furniture from Cane-line, Bolia, Ethimo, GAN and Blomus.

The collection includes streamlined poolside loungers, teak sunbeds, adjustable reclining designs and larger outdoor daybeds for one or two people, allowing the furniture to be chosen around both the available space and the way it will be used.

Cane-line Sun Loungers and Daybeds

Danish outdoor specialist Cane-line forms the largest part of the RB12 daybed and sun lounger collection, with designs ranging from simple single loungers to substantial double daybeds.

The Cane-line Siesta Sunbed provides a particularly streamlined option. Designed by Cane-line Design, Siesta is stackable and available in teak and several contemporary finishes, making it suitable for private gardens as well as larger poolside and hospitality-style settings.

For a more substantial reclining design, the Cane-line Rest Sunbed Single combines an adjustable backrest with wheels for easier repositioning. A larger Rest Sunbed Double provides the same relaxed concept with space for two.

Outdoor Daybeds for Relaxed Garden Living

An outdoor daybed creates a more substantial lounging area than a conventional sun lounger. Deeper cushioning and greater width make daybeds particularly suited to long afternoons outdoors, larger terraces and spaces designed around relaxed entertaining.

The Cane-line Ocean Large Daybed provides a generous circular lounge design, while the Cane-line Basket Daybed brings the soft, enveloping proportions of the wider Basket collection into an outdoor daybed.

These larger pieces can act as a focal point within an outdoor lounge area, particularly when paired with an outdoor coffee table, side table or surrounding lounge chairs.

Cane-line Savannah Daybed

The Cane-line Savannah Daybed takes a modular approach to outdoor relaxation.

The design is available as right and left modules that can be used individually or combined to form a larger daybed for two. Each section incorporates a removable sunshield, allowing shade to be introduced during brighter parts of the day.

Manufactured in Cane-line Weave®, Savannah is particularly suited to substantial terraces, poolside areas and gardens where the daybed is intended to become a permanent part of the wider outdoor furniture arrangement.

Cane-line Breeze and Amaze Sunbeds

For a visually lighter alternative, the Cane-line Breeze Sunbed uses the open woven character associated with the wider Breeze collection.

The Cane-line Amaze Sunbed provides a warmer timber-led option and can work particularly well within gardens where teak and other natural materials form an important part of the wider furniture scheme.

Choosing between woven and timber sun loungers is largely a question of the atmosphere you want to create. Woven furniture can appear lighter and softer, while teak introduces natural warmth and develops its own character over time.

Bolia Ease Sun Lounger

Bolia brings its understated Scandinavian design approach into the category through the Bolia Ease Sun Lounger.

Ease has a deliberately simple contemporary profile designed for gardens, balconies and terraces. It can be used on its own or combined with the coordinating Ease Sun Lounger Cushion and Ease Sun Lounger Headrest for additional comfort.

This makes the Ease collection useful where a relatively restrained lounger is preferred over a larger upholstered daybed.

Italian Daybeds and Sun Loungers by Ethimo

Ethimo brings a distinctly Italian and Mediterranean character to the RB12 outdoor collection.

The Ethimo Patio Daybed is one of the most substantial pieces within the category. It combines natural teak, rope detailing and generous cushioning to create an outdoor bed intended to become a major feature within a larger terrace or landscaped garden.

For individual lounging, the Ethimo Kilt Sunbed provides a contemporary alternative, while the Ethimo Elisir Sunbed uses a slimmer profile suited to poolside and terrace arrangements.

GAN Garden Layers Daybeds

Spanish brand GAN takes a much softer and more textile-led approach to outdoor relaxation.

The GAN Garden Layers Indian Bed forms part of Patricia Urquiola's Garden Layers collection, creating a low and informal outdoor lounging surface inspired by the way exterior spaces are furnished in India.

It can be combined with the GAN Garden Layers Mattress and coordinating cushions to create a softer, more relaxed alternative to a conventional framed sun lounger.

This approach works particularly well on terraces and sheltered garden spaces where textiles, rugs and low seating are being used to create an outdoor room rather than a traditional poolside arrangement.

Blomus Stay Outdoor Bed

The Blomus Stay Outdoor Bed, designed by kaschkasch, offers another informal alternative to a conventional sunbed.

The design uses a water-repellent exterior textile with a waterproof inner layer and EPS bead filling, giving the bed a soft, adaptable form that can be repositioned relatively easily around a garden or terrace.

Available in different sizes and colours, Stay is particularly suited to spaces where relaxed comfort is more important than the architectural structure of a timber or metal-framed lounger.

Single Sun Loungers

Single sun loungers are the most flexible option for poolside areas, smaller patios and gardens where furniture may need to be repositioned as the sun moves throughout the day.

Designs such as the Cane-line Siesta Sunbed, Rest Sunbed Single, Breeze Sunbed and Bolia Ease Sun Lounger provide very different interpretations of individual outdoor relaxation.

Two matching loungers positioned side by side can create a balanced poolside arrangement, while individual designs can be distributed around a larger garden wherever seating is required.

Double Sunbeds and Daybeds for Two

For couples or larger lounge spaces, a double sunbed or generous daybed provides enough room for two people to relax together without requiring separate pieces of furniture.

The Cane-line Rest Sunbed Double measures 121cm wide and features an adjustable backrest, while Cane-line's Savannah modules can be combined to create a much larger sheltered daybed.

The Ethimo Patio Daybed provides an even more substantial Italian option for gardens where the daybed is intended to become one of the main pieces of outdoor furniture.

Adjustable Sun Loungers

An adjustable backrest allows a sun lounger to move between flatter positions for sunbathing and more upright positions for reading, conversation or enjoying a drink.

The Cane-line Rest Sunbed Single provides four backrest positions and includes small wheels to make moving the lounger easier.

This flexibility can be particularly useful where the same outdoor space is used throughout the day rather than solely for sunbathing.

Teak Sun Loungers

Teak introduces natural warmth to contemporary outdoor furniture and works particularly well alongside stone paving, timber decking and landscaped planting.

The Cane-line Siesta Sunbed is available in certified teak, while the Cane-line Amaze Sunbed provides another timber-led option.

The Ethimo Patio Daybed also uses natural teak as part of its larger daybed construction.

Outdoor teak naturally changes appearance when exposed to weather. If you prefer to retain its original golden-brown colour, follow the care recommendations supplied by the individual manufacturer.

Sun Loungers for Pools and Terraces

Poolside furniture benefits from a relatively simple footprint and enough space around each lounger to move comfortably between the pool, surrounding tables and circulation routes.

Stackable designs such as the Cane-line Siesta Sunbed can be particularly practical where several loungers need to be stored or rearranged.

For a more relaxed terrace environment, softer designs from Blomus, GAN and Cane-line can create an atmosphere closer to an outdoor living room than a traditional pool deck.

Daybeds for Large Gardens and Terraces

Larger daybeds need enough surrounding space to feel intentional rather than crowded. They work particularly well at the edge of a main lounge area, beside a pool or in a quieter part of a landscaped garden.

Designs such as the Cane-line Ocean Large Daybed, Basket Daybed, Savannah Daybed and Ethimo Patio Daybed have enough visual presence to form a destination within the garden in their own right.

How to Choose a Sun Lounger or Outdoor Daybed

Start with the space available and how many people will use the furniture. A single lounger is easier to position and move, while a double sunbed or daybed provides a more generous place to relax but requires considerably more floor area.

Next, consider how adjustable you want the furniture to be. Reclining backrests can make a sunbed more versatile throughout the day, while fixed daybeds tend to prioritise deeper, more informal lounging.

Finally, compare materials and care requirements. Teak, aluminium, outdoor weave, rope and technical exterior fabrics all behave differently, so review the individual product information rather than assuming every outdoor bed can be maintained in the same way.

Creating a Complete Outdoor Relaxation Area

A sun lounger or daybed can work independently, but additional furniture can make the area more practical and visually complete.

Add an outdoor coffee or side table for drinks and books, or combine larger daybeds with outdoor lounge chairs and garden sofas.

An outdoor rug, planters and accessories can then help define the wider space, while a parasol provides additional shade where required.
