We've all seen the commercials featuring couples andbrfamilies snuggling in a backyard hammock. Looks cozy, right? You might thinkbrthat, right up until your head hits the cushion on a Madera Teak Daybed frombrPottery Barn. It's a bed. It's made for the outdoors. It's an outdoor bed thatbrgives hammocks a run for their money. Why settle for a cloth or rope cocoonbrwhen you can peacefully read a book, sip on a sweet iced tea or take a snoozebrwithout swaying back and forth? Adding the Madera Teak Daybed to your outdoorbrliving space will upgrade your backyard oasis to luxury living.
Crafted from premium Grade A teakwood with a naturalbrsanded finish, the frame of the daybed is a sturdy piece of outdoor furniturebrmade to withstand the elements. The quick-drying bed cushions feature removable,brmachine-washable covers, and the polyester canvas canopy and curtains are designedbrto repel water. So, while you probably won't be utilizing your daybed duringbrthe occasional summer shower, it's nice to know a little rain won't damage thebrbed. There is also a small table, made from the same material as the frame,brbetween the two cushions. Should you want to accessorize your daybed, just tossbron some outdoor pillow from Pottery Barn—at an additional cost.
If your outdoor plans include reclining in the shade,brcatching up on some summer fiction, you'll appreciate the upright positions ofbrthe cushion. However, if your eyes start getting heavy, lower the cushionbrenough to lie back and just enjoy the breeze. The cushions are adjustable up tobrfour positions, including fully flat.
Spending time with your main squeeze outdoors usuallybrmeans sipping chardonnay or enjoying a refreshing club soda by the pool. Or, asbrmentioned previously, snuggling—and possibly sweating—in a hammock. Why givebryourself only two options when a third is readily available? Cozy up to yourbrsignificant other, side by side, to simply enjoy each other's company in thebrshade of a canopy on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The daybed also serves as thebrperfect setting for a low-key date night. Enjoy dinner in “bed,” and pull thebrcurtains closed a bit to keep pesky mosquitos, June bugs or your children awaybr(temporarily of course).
Your backyard living experience is what you make ofbrit, and there are plenty of outdoor kitchen and living room set-ups available. So,brwhy not incorporate the bedroom into your backyard oasis? The Madera TeakbrDaybed is both weather-friendly and aesthetically pleasing, and just might makebryour backyard the new favorite “room” of the house.
