It's a risk you have to take. It's only a lounge.

But what I do to keep furniture from being destroyed is to make sure cats have appropriate quality scratching posts.

They need both vertical and horizontal scratching area. All my previous and current cats loved the posts that has both carpeted area AND roped area(with straws).

Providing satisfying scratching posts will keep them satisfied.

Also, I would put some kind of plastic coatings on the lounge, in the area where cats may be tempted to scratch.
Cats HATE scratching on smooth plastic like surface. I put a clear sticky tape on my couch where they've scratched before I got them the post. You can buy a "special" sticky plastic sheets from pet shops but sticky tape did the job for me!
