chaise longues

Poolside lounging furniture

Chaise longues is the plural of chaise longue, an upholstered chair with an extended seat for reclining.

The French means "long chair." English speakers often reshape it to "chaise lounge," which makes sense given what the furniture does, though traditionalists object.

The sunroom had two chaise longues by the window.
