The Ledge Lounger Signature Chaise ($640) is the right pick for most pools: it is the original in-pool lounger, rated for tanning ledges of 0–9 inches of water, and the best value in the line. Step up to the Autograph Chaise ($1,040) only if your ledge is deeper (up to 12 inches) or you want the upgraded lumbar support and more upright, modern seat.

Signature vs Autograph: which Ledge Lounger chaise should you buy?
Match the chaise to your ledge depth first, then to your comfort preference. The Signature Chaise ($640) is built for water depths of 0–9 inches and is Ledge Lounger's original, best-selling seat — a gently contoured recline at the lowest price. The Autograph Chaise ($1,040) is the newer design: rated for up to 12 inches of water, with enhanced ergonomics, built-in lumbar support, and a more upright, architectural silhouette. If your ledge is 0–9 inches and you want the best value, choose Signature. If it runs 9–12 inches, or you want the most supportive, modern seat, choose Autograph.

How deep can the water be on your ledge?
Water depth is the single most important thing to get right, because a chaise used outside its rated range will float, lift, or bob instead of sitting stably. Measure with the pool filled to capacity: rest a tape measure on the ledge surface and read where the water line hits. The Signature Chaise is rated for 0–9 inches; the Autograph Chaise is rated up to 12 inches. If your ledge is deeper than 12 inches, Ledge Lounger makes a Signature Chaise Deep for 10–15 inches, and a Signature Riser can lift a chaise to work in depths up to roughly 20 inches — ask us and we'll source the right configuration.
Are Ledge Loungers durable enough to leave in the pool?
Yes — both chaises are made from high-quality, UV20-rated resin that is color-stabilized for up to 20,000 hours of direct sunlight, which works out to more than a decade before noticeable fading. They are safe for every pool type and surface, including salt-water systems and vinyl liners, and they resist pool chemicals. Ledge Lounger backs its in-pool furniture with a 15-year residential (10-year commercial) guarantee against splintering, cracking, chipping, peeling, and rot. This is furniture designed to live in the water year-round, not to be hauled in and out.
What about side tables, pillows, and a fire pit?
If you want the full setup rather than a single seat, AQVINA carries the matched in-pool sets and accessories. The Signature Chaise + Side Table In-Pool Set ($1,638) pairs the classic chaise with a matching table; the Autograph Chaise + Side Table In-Pool Set ($3,399) does the same with the premium chaise. Add a Signature Headrest Pillow ($105) for extra comfort, or extend the space beyond the water with the Halo Firepit ($1,999) — also available bundled with four Adirondack chairs ($3,699). For poolside play, the Hoopstr floating basketball hoop ($599) rounds out the lineup.
The bottom line
For most pools with a standard 0–9 inch tanning ledge, the Signature Chaise ($640) delivers the same UV20 resin, size, and 15-year warranty as the premium model for $400 less — it is the value winner. Choose the Autograph Chaise ($1,040) when your ledge is deeper (up to 12 inches) or when back support and a more upright, contemporary look matter more than price. Not sure which fits your ledge? Send us your water depth and we'll confirm the right model before you order.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the Ledge Lounger Signature and Autograph Chaise?
The Signature Chaise is Ledge Lounger's original, best-selling in-pool lounger, rated for 0–9 inches of water with a gently contoured recline, priced at $640. The Autograph Chaise is the newer design, rated for up to 12 inches of water, with enhanced ergonomics, built-in lumbar support, and a more upright, architectural silhouette, priced at $1,040.
How deep can the water be for a Ledge Lounger chaise?
The Signature Chaise is rated for water depths of 0–9 inches and the Autograph Chaise for up to 12 inches. For deeper ledges, the Signature Chaise Deep covers 10–15 inches, and adding a Signature Riser can extend a chaise to work in depths up to about 20 inches. Using a chaise outside its rated depth can cause it to float or lift.
Are Ledge Loungers safe for salt water and vinyl-liner pools?
Yes. All Ledge Lounger in-pool furniture is safe for every pool type and surface, including salt-water systems and vinyl liners. The UV20-rated resin is built to withstand sun, weather, and the chemicals of any pool or outdoor environment.
How long do Ledge Loungers last?
The resin is color-stabilized for up to 20,000 hours of direct sunlight, which is more than ten years before noticeable fading. Ledge Lounger backs its in-pool furniture with a 15-year residential (10-year commercial) warranty against splintering, cracking, chipping, peeling, and rot.
Do I need to anchor a Ledge Lounger in the pool?
No separate anchor is needed as long as you match the chaise to your ledge depth. The chaises are designed to sit stably within their rated water-depth range; used within that range they stay put, but used in water that is too deep they can float, lift, or bob.
