Nardi Alfa and Omega Sun Loungers

Alfa & Omega Range - FAQs

1. What is the difference between the Alfa and the Omega sun lounger?
   Both are resin sun loungers designed for Nardi by Raffaello Galiotto, and they share a frame, a sling and a recline mechanism. The difference is arms. Alfa has armrests, which make getting in and out easier and matter for older guests or anyone using the lounger as a chair as much as a bed. Omega is armless, so its cleaner profile tucks closer to a pool edge, sits tighter in a row and stacks more compactly for storage.
2. How far do they recline, and can they be moved easily?
   Both models recline through four positions, from sitting upright to read through to lying completely flat, and the position is set by hand at the back of the lounger. Both also carry two built in wheels at one end. Tilt the lounger onto the wheels and it rolls, so following the shade around a pool through an afternoon does not involve lifting anything. That matters more than it sounds on a deck where loungers get repositioned several times a day.
3. What colours are available?
   Alfa and Omega are offered in White, Anthracite Trama, Tortora and Grigio. Anthracite Trama is a textured finish rather than a flat colour, so it reads differently in strong sun to the plain shades. When choosing, match the lounger to the paving or the deck rather than to the house, since that is what it will sit against for its whole life. Confirm availability across the full quantity before ordering if you are buying more than a pair.
4. Can the sling be replaced?
   Yes, and it is worth knowing at the point of purchase. The breathable synthetic sling is fully replaceable on both models, which means a tired lounger is a sling swap rather than a new lounger. For a hotel or a caravan park that changes the economics of a pool deck considerably, because the frames stay and only the fabric is renewed. Replacement slings for both Alfa and Omega are stocked on this shelf alongside the loungers themselves.
5. Can they stay outside, and how do they store?
   Both are built for permanent outdoor use, so they stay out year round and simply wipe clean with water and mild detergent. Chlorine, salt and sun are not the problem. Sunscreen and body oils are what mark a sling, so a rinse at the end of a hot week is worth doing. If loungers are stored over winter, Omega stacks in noticeably less space than Alfa because it has no arms, which is worth allowing for when working out shed capacity.
6. Can I order them in quantity for a pool deck?
   Yes. Outdoor Furniture Ideas supplies Alfa and Omega to hotels, resorts, caravan parks, gyms and body corporates, where loungers live outside all year and get hard use. They are available singly and in sets of two and four, and in 3 piece settings that add a side table. Trade accounts are available with volume pricing, and our team can confirm both lounger and replacement sling stock before a season starts.
