Q: Does the Twilight Sunbrella® fabric get very hot in the sun?
A: Like most dark-colored fabrics, the Midnight Black Lagoon Lounger can warm up when exposed to direct sunlight. Keeping it in the shade or giving it a quick splash of water before use helps keep it comfortable. Many customers enjoy the sleek look of Midnight Black with just a bit of mindful placement.
