Aluminum Infinity Chaise Lounge Replacement Sling

The case for not buying a new chaise

Here's a scenario we've lived through: a beautiful piece of outdoor furniture with a frame that's still rock solid, but a sling that's faded, stretched, or split after a few hard summers. The obvious move feels like buying something new. The actual move is this — a replacement sling designed specifically for your frame that costs a fraction of starting over.

Outer built the Infinity Chaise as a serious investment piece, and the replacement sling exists in that same spirit. Rather than treating the fabric as a consumable you throw away with the frame, they engineered a swap-out system that lets the aluminum skeleton — the part that actually survives the elements — keep doing its job.

What we know about the sling itself

Outer describes the material as durable and eco-friendly, which tracks with the brand's broader commitment to sustainability. Sling fabric in this category typically needs to handle UV exposure, poolside splashing, and the particular cruelty of leaving a cushion out through a full summer — and Outer's original slings have generally held up well in real-world use based on what owners report. The replacement is made to the same spec.

The installation process is described as easy to replace, which matters more than it sounds. Sling replacement on budget furniture can be a genuine ordeal — wrestling fabric through aluminum channels, needing two people, cutting fingers on raw edges. A well-designed swap system is a genuine quality-of-life feature.

The honest math

$250 for a replacement sling is not cheap in absolute terms. But if your Infinity Chaise frame retails in the neighborhood that most Outer pieces do, paying a fraction of that to extend its life by several more years is straightforward math. The environmental calculus is even cleaner: keeping a frame out of landfill and avoiding the manufacturing footprint of a new chaise is exactly the kind of decision that doesn't require you to feel virtuous about it — it's just better.

The caveat worth naming: this is brand-specific hardware. It fits the Infinity Chaise Lounge frame and nothing else. If you're trying to restring a different chaise — even another Outer model — this isn't your solution.

Who this is really for

Outer customers who take care of their outdoor furniture tend to be the kind of people who actually want to maintain things rather than replace them. The existence of a replacement sling program is one signal that Outer is building for that customer — the person who stores their chaise properly in winter and treats outdoor furniture as something worth stewarding rather than cycling through.

One thing worth noting: you'll want to assess your frame honestly before ordering. If the aluminum is bent, corroded at the joints, or the hardware is failing, a new sling won't fix that. But if the frame is sound and the fabric is the only thing that's given out, this is exactly the right call.
