Garden day bed buying guide

Updated: 21 October 2026

You are on a UK patio with a tape measure and rattan sets that all use the words day bed. A garden day bed buying guide is the method: choose a layout, check the floor and the canopy height, read the kilogram line on the amazon.co.uk listing you will pay for, and see whether a cover is in the box. The [Outdoor daybed comparison](/hub/sun-loungers/outdoor-daybed) holds the seven listings we kept. This page does not name a winner. The [best outdoor daybed](/hub/sun-loungers/outdoor-daybed/sub/outdoor-daybed-best) page matches a listing to a job, the [small garden day bed](/hub/sun-loungers/outdoor-daybed/sub/outdoor-daybed-small-garden) note is for a corner near 1.2 m, and the [garden day bed with canopy](/hub/sun-loungers/outdoor-daybed/sub/outdoor-daybed-canopy) page is for shade. We read those listings on 19 October 2026 and did not test the frames.

Three layouts, and they are not interchangeable

This set keeps three shapes. The Bali listings are round islands under a hood. The Seychelles listings split the seats and put a table in the middle, still under a canopy. The love beds are two-seaters with a footstool and no hood at all. Two people who can spare a patch about 1.8 m by 1.6 m are looking at Bali or Seychelles. A balcony or a narrow return beside the house is the love bed's ground, and only if you accept a short seat. Other UK shops use the same label for different furniture, including a Sapcote set at £799 with a 1.5 m by 1.5 m footprint. Do not borrow that price or that size when you compare the EVRE rows.

Footprint, and a height that is not floor space

The round models here cluster around 180 cm long and 150-175 cm deep, with the canopy top near 143-148 cm. The mixed-grey Bali, ASIN B08DXBR2DY, prints 180 x 160 x 143 cm. The 143 cm is headroom for the hood. It does not add a further 143 cm of patio, though you still want clearance to walk the curve and to open the canopy without hitting a fence or a door. The love bed is a sum of pieces. The brown listing prints the sofa at 119 x 61 x 71 cm and the footstool at 111 x 55 x 34 cm, extending to 132 cm. The same listing also carries an attribute line of 119 x 172 x 71 cm, which reads like the pieces set out in a row. Measure the corner for the arrangement you will use. If a listing prints metres, convert them and check the same page you will pay for.

Read the kilogram line on that listing

Do not average the limits in this comparison. They belong to different pages, and two colourways of one family do not agree. On the mixed-grey Bali, B08DXBR2DY, the bullets say 120 kg. Another copy of that same ASIN address has shown 300 kg. The black Bali, B09B852HVD, is the listing here that prints 300 kg, with 7 cm cushions, at £269.99. If the basket page says 120 kg, two adults and someone perched on the rim is a poor plan for that page, even when another shop prints a higher figure on a different product. Both Seychelles colours print 160 kg. The love-bed listings print a two-seater allowance up to 210 kg, while EVRE's own black love-bed page has said 200 kg. Use the figure on the listing you pay for. The mixed-grey Bali's 4.3 from 417 reviews does not lift that line.

Cover, showerproof cloth, and a label we will not invent

A showerproof canopy is not a furniture cover. The waterproof field is False on the mixed-grey Bali and on both Seychelles listings. The black Bali and the black love bed have no waterproof field. An empty cell is not a yes. If your basket is one of these ASINs, treat a cover as a second buy unless the included-components list names one. Cushions should come indoors when the weather turns. The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 can apply to upholstery, including some garden furniture. These listings do not show a permanent fire label, so we will not claim one is sewn into the pads. If a part is missing, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 puts quality and description with the amazon.co.uk seller.

What to take into the comparison

You have four checks: shape, centimetres, the kilogram line on that ASIN, and the cover line.

Common questions

How much floor does a round garden day bed need?
Plan for about 180 cm by 150-175 cm of floor, then room to walk the curve. On the mixed-grey Bali the last figure in 180 x 160 x 143 cm is canopy height. A sketch of 2 m to 2.5 m is a wider class of day bed. Nearer 1.2 m, the round island is the wrong shape.
Which kilogram figure belongs to the ASIN in the basket?
Read the bullets on the page you are about to buy. B08DXBR2DY says 120 kg, B09B852HVD says 300 kg, both Seychelles listings say 160 kg, and the love beds say up to 210 kg. B&Q's covered bundle at £339.99 states 300 kg as well. Do not average them.
Does the amazon.co.uk set include a rain cover?
Not on these listings. EVRE's own Bali page says the cover is not included, and the waterproof field is False where it is filled in. B&Q's dearer bundle includes an Oxford cover, and that bundle is not ASIN B08DXBR2DY.
When is a love bed the right shape?
When the patio cannot spare about 1.8 m by 1.6 m, and you want a two-seater. The pieces are about 119 cm wide, there is no canopy, and reviewers describe the seat as short and upright.
Who do you contact if parts are missing?
Contact the amazon.co.uk seller. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes quality and description the retailer's duty. A rebuild that still will not meet is a reason to stop, not a reason to drill new holes.
