chaise lounge

Long cushioned seat

A chaise lounge is a reclining chair with an extended seat to support the legs, used for relaxing indoors or outdoors: She spent the afternoon reading on the chaise lounge by the pool.

The term is an American reshaping of the French chaise longue (long chair), with "longue" reinterpreted as the more familiar English word "lounge."
