Comfortable Outdoor Furniture (That Looks Good Too!)
People spend so much time shopping for furniture that will go inside their home, that when it comes to the patio - it can be easier to just settle for whatever is available, even when it’s not comfortable. The annoying part is that majority of the outdoor furniture out there is too firm, awkward shaped and not very good quality. This post is going to put a spotlight on the best brands available at Lott’s, all of which have extremely comfortable and well made outdoor furniture. This is Florida after all, you should be as comfortable sitting outside as you are indoors.
Tommy Bahama Outdoor
While there are so many aesthetic reasons to love Tommy Bahama furniture, the comfort is rarely highlighted. This Seabrook collection is one of the best examples of show stopping outdoor seating that you could sit on all day. The Oyster finish is especially interesting because most people feel like they need to go dark on color for outdoors (to avoid showing wear and tear) but this all weather wicker with a slight taupe/grey undertone will look beautiful for many years. You’ll never want to leave your lanai with this out there!
Were you thinking something more Contemporary?
The Stillwater Cove seating has clean, architectural lines with a classic teak construction.
If you’re lucky enough to have a pool on your property, all of the Tommy Bahama Outdoor Living collections have coordinating poolside furniture pieces. The cushions are fully drainable and available in dozens of fade and mildew resistant fabrics. The ivory cerused teak featured below pairs well with any color, pattern or texture. You can really throw personality into the look!
Woodard
Aluminum outdoor furniture is especially popular here in Fernandina Beach. It does not rust, it doesn’t get as hot and usually has a smaller profile than its wicker counterparts. The key for comfort on an aluminum frame are the cushions, which Woodard has done perfectly. If the maintenance of cushions does not interest you, a padded sling chair is a great option. The padding makes them more comfortable than standard sling and they drain/dry out much quicker than cushions.

MAKE IT FIT YOUR STYLE
Customize the finish on the aluminum, the fabric color and the pillows of each piece of furniture. This guarantees it will fit your vibe! Featured here is the Cortland Seating group with a coordinating coffee table and umbrella.
Lane Venture
Saving the best for last, Lane Venture has the most comfortable outdoor seating I’ve come across. Most collections have a very classic look to them, with slightly deeper seats and higher backs. Perfect for lounging on the lanai or poolside, whatever the day allows for. Proudly made in America, Lane Venture has recently introduced a line of fully upholstered outdoor furniture. The Lisa Swivel Lounger featured below is available in Sunbrella fabrics and looks just like standard, indoor furniture.

A staple Lane Venture Collection we have on display in various configurations is the Oasis group. There are two finish options for the wicker, Ash or Barley, and hundreds of fabric options. The cushions are fully draining and the wicker is made to be outdoors in the elements. This is furniture that will look great for many years!
