This summer’s been particularly hot and muggy here in the UK, and I can’t even sit indoors properly and play my favourite video games anymore. So I’ve had the idea of taking my Sony PlayStation and TV out onto the terrace and playing out there in the fresh air. The problem is the chairs on my terrace are properly uncomfortable, and if I sit on them too long my back starts aching. Thinking of buying some comfortable outdoor furniture for out there, something like a small sofa or armchairs, so I can spend time out there with a gamepad in hand. Any recommendations on where to look for furniture like that?
I'd like to buy some comfortable outdoor furniture
Terraces double as extra living space for a lot of people once the weather actually holds up, and outdoor gaming setups have genuinely become their own little thing the last couple of summers. A two-seater sofa gives more flexibility than a pair of armchairs, since a mate can easily squeeze in for co-op without dragging out extra seating from the house. Worth measuring the terrace width beforehand too, a bulkier sofa eats up more room than expected once the TV stand and cables are factored in.
Screen glare is another thing worth sorting before buying anything, positioning the seating with its back to the sun keeps the screen actually visible during the day instead of squinting at reflections all afternoon.

Their outdoor living range is built with proper design and comfort in mind, so it’s easy to find pieces that actually suit a setup like this. Grabbing a small side table alongside it gives you somewhere to rest the gamepad or a drink between rounds.
