Aqua Catalina XL Hammock

So me and the kid were going on a cruise, and one of the many, many add on options was renting a floating foam mat at the cruise line's private island for a stupidly high sum of $ for only a few hours' use.There had to be a better option - and THIS IS IT.1. First off, this raft deflates flat, and takes up very little space in your bag.2. Even after you inflate it, it's not heavy at all or a pain to drag around the mile-long dock while en route to the beach.3. You get that nice water flow all around you because of the mesh, keeping you cool and comfy while in the water. Those foam mats can keep water from circulating well to your back when lying down. Yuk.4. Choice of colors. That was NBD to me, but to the kid, it was everything. She got her favorite color and was super happy about that. No worries about "I don't like the mat color" emotional breakdowns.5. Even with arthritis, it wasn't difficult for me to switch from a "raft" to a "chair" while using this.6. Looks pretty well made to me.7. It traps the air in the cushions well. I popped open the air entryways after we were done, and it didn't want to deflate on it's own. I had to sit on them *and* squeeze the entryways' bases open to get them to deflate. I figure that's good if you are using this in the water - last thing you really want is for the air to rush out if the caps on the air entryways pop open.8. The kid didn't feel like she was missing out on anything in comparison to everyone else who had a raft. In fact, she was convinced a couple other kids were jealous of her raft. That made her feel better about mommy being a bargain hunter. ;)9. Nothing stupid/cutesy in the design that will embarrass you while using it. The stripes are classic beach decor - there's no dumb looking animals, silly prints or cartoon characters.and finally10. Liked them so much I think I'll buy ones for the rest of the fam who didn't go on our "girls only" trip.I'm looking forward to enjoying these rafts for years to come.

The Aqua 4-in-1 Pool Hammock is a total win for pool days! My girlfriend and I can both sit side by side on it, and it’s so comfortable that we’ve even fallen asleep in the pool.It’s perfect for staying cool—enough of your body is in the water to beat the heat, but you’re still dry enough to relax without getting out. It inflates quickly, deflates just as easily, and packs down small for easy storage or travel.

I have used this in lakes in the ocean. It’s so easy to transport easy to blow up easy to deflate and so far nice and sturdy. Indispensable on vacation, vacation and any relaxing swim day. Only problem is a lot of places with lifeguards don’t let you use Floaties, but That doesn’t say anything about the floaty does it I love it sometimes I straddle it sometimes I lay my chin on one of the blowup parts and sometimes I lay on it like a hammock. All are very comfy. I’ve also used it as a pillow on my towel when I didn’t have a beach chair.

This is a great float for a swimming pool. It is well made, sturdy and should last a long time. I have a second one that I bought a year ago at a different store, and it is still like new. I bought this second one to have when guests come to visit me (I live in a gated community with a number of resort like pools). The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is because it is a little pricey here on Amazon. I bought the first one elsewhere and it was considerably less expensive. Unfortunately, it is a seasonal item, and when I decided to buy the second one they were no longer available at the other store. But that too is the great thing about Amazon--you can get nearly anything, at any time, if you are willing to pay the price.

My favorite float ever! I’ve purchased these several times over the years. These floats are durable, comfortable, and versatile. I love that the material doesn’t make me sweat and that I can change my seating several different ways. Great for the pool and especially at the beach, because it isn’t bulky to carry. The colors are nice and do not fade in the sun.Definitely recommend!

Great for the price, color was great and a comfortable seat (I am tall so I couldn’t lay down all that well on it). Was great for the 50th bday weekend in Palm Springs!

this would be good for someone who just likes to lounge but i was hoping to get a tan while in the pool. it doesn’t support you well enough for that and don’t even think about trying to tan your back.

This was my favorite pool floatie I’ve ever used! So versatile, completely packable, quick to blow up, and comfortable! I can’t wait to use it again :)
