chaise lounges

Long reclining chairs

Chaise lounges is a common English plural of chaise longue, the reclining chair with an extended seat for the legs.

The original French means "long chair," but English speakers often reanalyze it as "lounge chair"—which is what it's used for—producing the variant chaise lounge and its plural chaise lounges.

The pool deck had a row of chaise lounges.
