And the wikipedia definition of a daybed doesn't remotely match the image in the original post: daybeds are usually sprung, have a mattress and outdoor ones usually have a roof-like structure to keep the rain off. > Maybe sun lounge would be a better choice? http://streetfurniture.com/au/ > dev/product/mall-sun-lounge/ > In British English a sun loung is a sunroom or solarium with natural sunlight. Sunlounger is closer, but the wikipedia article for that says they're adjustable. Which reminds me, you probably can't expect the standard OSM renderer/carto to render it differently (perhaps not even recognize it) going by what happened recently when somebody asked if benches with backrests could be rendered slightly differently (and even provided a suitable icon for it). I didn't consider the reasons given for rejecting the request were logical, valid, rational or even courteous. But if benches with backrests aren't going to be treated differently I doubt these things (if we can figure out what to call them) will be either. -- Paul
