Aside from being weather-resistant, each piece is easy to maintain, making them one of the most appealing options available.
While all of them are sure to add style, opulence and visual appeal to your outdoor areas, it’s important to pick the right one for your space. In order to do so, here are some important considerations to keep in mind:
Pick a daybed that will fit comfortably onto your balcony, terrace or pool deck without either overpowering the other furnishings or getting lost in the crowd.
To do this, take accurate measurements and ensure that wherever you place it will allow for a sense of balance and flow.
Skyline Design’s daybeds are available in a number of different materials, so choose the right combination for your specific weather conditions. Our team of experts will be able to help you choose the right piece should you need any assistance.
It is also advisable to purchase waterproof coverings to give it extra protection during unexpected thunderstorms.
Comfort is key when choosing a daybed because, after all, its purpose is to provide you with the perfect means to an afternoon of blissful relaxation. So, while all top brands design their collections with ergonomics in mind, giving them a quick try in the shop before you make a final decision is always a good idea.
Also, look for items that feature well-padded, high-density, water-resistant foam cushions for that ultimate cosy feel.
Skyline Design has several shapes, fabrics and styles to choose from, ranging from traditional to contemporary and minimalistic to ornate. Select one that suits the interior design of your home in a colour palette you love and be sure to ask one of our sales consultants about all the possible customisation options available.
The cost of a daybed largely depends on elements like size, materials and special features, so set your budget before you go shopping and spend all of it. This will ensure that you get the best bang for your buck.
With the above factors in place, your daybed of choice will look good, feel great and make basking in the sun your favourite pastime.
When it comes to lounging in luxury, Skyline Design’s daybeds take the trophy. So whether you’re looking for something extravagant for your regular pool parties or a simple recliner for your deck, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Add a matching table for those mid-morning brunches or candle-lit dinner dates.
While every Skyline Design daybed is made with longevity in mind, regular upkeep is key if you want to ensure they last you for years to come. Here are some pointers to help you care for your investment:
Systematic cleaning is essential to prevent build-ups of dirt, dust and debris. In order to do this, mix some mild detergent in warm water and use a soft brush or microfibre cloth to remove any marks or stains. Then rinse it thoroughly with water and leave it to air dry. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or cleaners at all costs. If in doubt, contact a professional.
During winter or when not in use, it is advised to store your daybed in a dry, covered area such as a garage, pool room or shed. If you don’t have space indoors, make sure you buy protective covers to shield it from the elements. Remember to remove the cushions first, cover them and keep them in a spare room, weatherproof storage unit or dry cupboard.
Regular checks and maintenance are paramount to keeping your daybed in ship shape. Scan them for signs of wear and tear and if you find any, take action immediately. Fluffing the cushions regularly will help them stay in shape.
All of the above will ensure that you get maximum use out of your Skyline Design daybed and will allow you to enjoy them for years to come.
