Perfect get wet pool float

I know I said the King Kool Lounge was my favorite pool float, but let me qualify that. The KKL is my favorite "stay dry" float. This one, the Sit 'N Float, is my all around favorite and the best "get wet" pool float I've tried. I'm about 165 lbs. and it keeps my lower body wet up to about my waist. Very comfortable and cool. Can you fall asleep it it? Absolutely. Don't forget to put on sunscreen.Includes two convenient drink holders, but they are not very stable if there are any waves (kids) in the pool. Likewise, I don't think I'd take this tubing or in any white water, but in a quiet pool it's perfect.The only downside is it's not very durable, but I'm not knocking off any stars for that because I consider these pool toys to be disposable, and besides I really like this one. So far I bought three. One ripped (seat seam tore) and it could not be repaired, and another developed a hole (who plants rose bushes near their pool?) and I got tired of pumping it up every day (patch did not hold).As soon as Amazon puts these on their annual half price winter pool toy sale I'm buying two more. I suggest you do as well.Ver más

The perfect pool float — and at an unbeatable price

I’ve tried a lot of pool floats over the years, but the Intex Sit ’N Float has quickly become my favorite. I used it in my backyard pool and was honestly impressed across the board.First, the comfort — the backrest is a total game changer. Instead of lying flat and getting a crick in your neck, you actually get to sit up and relax like you’re in a lounge chair. I stayed on this thing for hours. The dual cup holders are perfectly placed too, so your drink is always within reach (a must for a proper pool day!).Inflation was quick and easy, and the two separate air chambers give it a really solid, stable feel in the water — no tipping or wobbling. The heavy-duty handles also make it easy to get in and out without any awkward flailing.And the price? You genuinely can’t beat it. This float punches way above its weight for what you pay. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat and honestly might grab a few more so friends and family can join in.Highly recommend for anyone who wants to actually relax in the pool rather than just survive on a flimsy raft.Ver más

The most comfortable pool lounge float ever, not very durable but still worth the buy

We have been using these for more than five years now. Each summer, we start out with three and none of them make it through a second season. By summer's end, usually one will bust apart at the seat, and two will have the early stages of seat rip. I've learned that if you inflate it to about 90-95%, they seem to last a little longer. I've also learned that if you keep the majority of your weight or body on the big part and just rest on the seat part, they also last a bit longer. We also do not jump onto these floats. For frame of reference- My family are all either light, athletic, or average build, the heaviest being my brother at about 170 lbs. The stress point is where the seat portion attaches to the main float, it typically rips at one side. Fairly annoying but not a deal breaker for us because the comfort of the design is better than any other seat styled pool float I've tried. Great for laying out while floating in the pool, even while laying on your stomach. They are relatively cheap, and I don't mind repurchasing each summer. My mom actually swipes these from us once the seat rips, she prefers the float as a horseshoe shape to float around on (it has little handles on each arm) because she uses them for exercising her legs and stomach muscles rather than just floating around.Ver más

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!

Last year, after reading a zillion reviews on every floaty chair out there I got this one and one that was way more "high tech" (nylon webbing, everything was adjustable, fabric over plastic) and around $35. The $35 one? If I even THOUGHT about using the back rest part of it, I'd go over backwards into the water. No matter how I adjusted it, I couldn't use the backrest part or over I'd go. Gave it to some unsuspecting thin people. Maybe it'll be nicer to them.)On this model one user complained about it not lasting for more than a couple of pool sessions. Another user said the trick was to not hyper inflate it and it'd last all summer, maybe next summer too. So I did the "not quite fully inflated" in the sling seat part as advised and almost fully inflated in the arms/back part (this allows the hot sun to expand the float without straining the seams). Man O Man! This floaty chair is the Bees Knees, the Cats Meow, the best thing since sliced bread, the best thing since Amazon Prime 2 Day Free Shipping (which is insanely good in itself).First off, I'm a 5' 5" tall plus size lady, so if there's something tippy in the water I'm going to tip it over. It seems that most float rings, float triangles or float chairs are all made for children, or people who weigh under 150 pounds. Nice slender people. I got a triangle floaty thing (showed a lovely lady on the front of the package leaning back, in a comfortable seated upright position with lots of room on either side of her hips (she was probably 4' 11" and 95 lbs and on dry ground with water Photoshopped in). I tried THAT floaty thing. It looked as tho I fell butt first into a big flower pot with all apendages sticking straight up to the sky. It did NOT make a pretty picture. Thought I might have to cut my way out of it, but I didn't have my trusty knife with me (and no help to be seen).There is no substitue for this awesome and most wonderful of floaty chairs. I bought 2 of these last year, but one blew away into the woods during a fall storm and the other one is still needing to be cleaned up a bit. So I got another one (cause they are that awesome, plus I like the new color). I call it the Queen Chair (it could also be called the King Chair. Bottom line is that it's MY chair if others are over :-DSo how come it's so great? Well, for starters it has those 2 white handles so that non-slender folks can keep it from scootching away while we try to get ourselves seated and situated. Then you can safely lean back and relax, with NO fear of tipping backwards. And it holds you in a comfortable, relaxed but upright position (K, for you skinny folks - this is WAY wider than a stupid airline seat where my thighs are pressed upwards and folded in). It has a nice wide seat which should fit almost anyone that's 325 lbs or less. It holds you in a fairly upright position (important if conversing with others or taking a sip of wine now and again). It doesn't let you sink too low in the water so you can easily reach the floaty table for your beverage, or you can use the handy cupholders for things like cans of pop or beer. I use the lid of a cheap styrofoam cooler as a floaty side table for beverages - they are very stable due to the shape, very cheap and last several seasons.I don't know how this floaty chair works for slender folks but for plus size women (and guys too I'd say) it is the Bomb (ie Great).Oh, and did I mention it is "slenderizng"? Yeppers, you look lots thinner while floating in this chair. All that and it's under $10 bucks. Can't be beat, in my opinion.
