My edit of sustainable outdoor sofas and loungers in the UK. I look for durable frames, cushions that can be covered or brought inside, and replacement parts where possible. Check each retailer’s own care details before you buy.

Buying sustainable outdoor sofas and loungers: what I look for
Outdoor lounge furniture is a bigger investment, so I look for pieces built to last more than a few summers.
- A sturdy frame in hardwood or powder-coated aluminium.
- Removable, washable cushion covers in showerproof fabric.
- Storage space for cushions over winter, or a well-fitting cover.
- Replacement parts such as cushions, so one worn part does not mean a new sofa.
Common questions
Can outdoor cushions stay out in the rain?
Some can, many cannot. Check whether the retailer describes them as showerproof or waterproof.
How much space do I need?
Allow room to walk around the sofa and to stretch out on a lounger. Mark the size on the ground first.
