The SUNNYLiFE Luxe Floating Chair is a pool chair rather than a flat float: it holds you in a seated position with your back supported and your upper body out of the water, which is the difference between reading in a pool and floating on your stomach. The marine stripe finish is the reason it shows up in every poolside photo, and the build quality sits above the standard inflatable lounger tier, which is reflected in the price. Best fit: pool days where people actually want to sit and talk rather than drift, and anyone furnishing a pool area they care about the look of.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a regular pool float?
It is a chair. You sit upright with your back supported and your torso above the waterline, rather than lying flat and drifting.
Does it hold an adult comfortably?
Yes, it is sized for an adult. Check the listing weight rating if you are near the upper end.
Is it worth the price over a cheap inflatable?
If you use a pool a few times a season, probably not. If you use it weekly all summer, the seat position and the build hold up where the cheap ones split at the seams.
How should I store it over winter?
Rinse the chlorine off, dry it fully, and store it out of direct sun. UV is what degrades pool products fastest, more than the water itself.
