La Fête 8-Foot Square Outdoor Resort Bed, Marine-Vinyl Play Pad

The Play Pad 8 is the hotel-scale member of the family: an 8-foot square platform that turns a pool edge or a lounge into a destination for a whole group. The brand's own pool-deck photography shows it used in pairs along the water, where the solid sides read as a clean, continuous band and the top is wide enough for a full party of guests.

Where to use it

• Hotel and resort pool decks, used singly or in pairs along the water's edge
• Beach clubs and day clubs that sell premium group seating
• Large villa terraces and rooftop lounges that need a single dominant seating anchor
• Events and hospitality suites that add a STACK tray table for bar service
• Open-plan interiors where the brand's suggestion of custom upholstery replaces a conventional sofa group

Planning and installation notes

• Plan a 96 in square plus walkways; for pairs, leave enough room between pads for servers to pass.
• It ships fully assembled, so confirm loading, gate and elevator access before delivery.
• Place it on a level, hard surface. At 125 lb two people can nudge it into position, but a larger layout is best set once.
• The brand notes this item cannot ship by FedEx Ground and is delivered by scheduled special delivery arranged with the factory.
• For consistent branding across a property, order every pad and ottoman in the same vinyl color and vary only the pillows.

Who it is not for

• Small patios or rooms that cannot give a 96 in square clear access on all sides
• Anyone who needs an upright seat, backrest or arms
• Projects that depend on a published weight capacity, warranty term or lead time, which the brand does not state
• Buyers who want fabric cushions rather than vinyl

Care

Wipe with mild dish soap and warm water, then rinse with clear water. For a stubborn mark, use a soft brush with a gentle non-abrasive cleanser and light pressure, because abrasive products can dull the vinyl's protective finish. The brand also sells its own vinyl cleaner and conditioning cream, and a damaged or outdated cover can be replaced.
