Taylor Made Right Chaise Lounge Seat, White, 674640

Taylor Made has been building marine furniture for a long time, and this Right Chaise Lounge Seat is a good example of why their seating shows up on so many pontoons and deck boats. It's the piece that turns a plain rear corner into the spot everybody fights over. Stretch out, prop your feet up, and watch the wake roll off the back of the boat.

The frame is rotationally-molded marine grade polyethylene, and that matters more than it sounds. A roto-molded poly base won't rot, won't rust, and shrugs off the constant UV and moisture that destroy wood-cored seats over a few seasons. On top of that frame you get mildew-resistant polyurethane foam wrapped in marine grade vinyl, stitched with polyester UV-resistant thread so the seams hold up under sun instead of chalking and splitting. The staples and mounting fasteners are stainless steel and the seat hinges are aluminum, so there's no mild-steel hardware hiding inside waiting to bleed rust down your upholstery.

It's a right chaise, which means the raised bolster sits on the right as you're seated, so it's made to anchor the right-hand side of a rear lounge layout. The color is a clean white that pairs with most factory pontoon interiors. Overall dimensions are 26 inches long by 17 inches wide by 32 inches tall, so it's a compact chaise that fits tight rear decks without eating your whole cockpit. If you need to fill out the opposite corner, Taylor Made builds matching seating in the same line and color, so you can put together a rear lounge that actually looks like it belongs together.

On the water, a chaise earns its spot fast. Anchor up in a quiet cove, kick your legs up, and it's the seat nobody wants to give up. Back at the dock it doubles as extra lounge seating when you've got a crowd aboard. The 32-inch back gives you something to actually lean into, which is more than you can say for a lot of flat pontoon benches.

Underneath the cushion there's a real storage compartment. That's prime space for life jackets, a spare dock line, or a wet towel you don't want sitting on the good seats. Two molded cup holders keep drinks from sliding around when you come off plane. There's no headrest on this one, and the seat is non-adjustable and non-folding, so what you see is the shape you get. It's a fixed lounge, not a reclining or convertible seat, and that simplicity is part of why it lasts.

Installing it is straightforward for anyone comfortable with a drill and a socket. The base bolts down through the deck, and we always tell folks to put a washer under every nut. Poly frames are tough, but skipping washers concentrates the load right at the bolt hole, and that's the one spot a roto-molded base can crack over time. Snug them down, don't gorilla them. If you're replacing an older seat, check that the new bolt pattern lines up before you commit, and transfer a template if the holes don't match.

A little care goes a long way. Wipe the vinyl down with mild soap and water, and hit it with a marine-grade vinyl protectant a few times a season. That's the difference between vinyl that stays supple for years and vinyl that starts to crease and split at the fold. Keep it covered or stored inside over the winter if you can.

So who's this for? Pontoon and tritoon owners rebuilding or upgrading their rear seating, and deck boat owners who want a proper lounge instead of a flat bench. It's a bigger-ticket piece, but you're buying a full marine-grade build, not a patio chair that happens to float. Do it once, do it right, and you'll be lounging on it for a lot of summers.
