Poolside beds and cabanas - what pad/cushion/mattress would you recommend?

By that I mean outdoor cushions are great but they don’t last very long, stain, pick up mildew, etc… so build into your equation ease and cost of routine replacement

I am new to the pool world. I was dead set on investing in some high end pool furniture. Then all the wealthy guys that own pools laughed at my non wealthy arse. They said to get cheap stuff off Wayfair and run thru it every two years. They had all gone the way of expensive stuff that didnt last in the La environ.

Unless it’s 316 or aluminum this is 1000% true.

Good outdoor teak furniture will last. A lot of the resorts use stand alone cushion pads with elastic trimmed terry cloth covers they can pull off and wash/replace. The sunbrella-type stuff will probably last 3 years, but the sun will eventually eat it up…
