Aqua Original 4-in-1 Monterey 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.

I am in love with the Aqua 4 in 1 hammock float. It is very adaptable, and can be used in the ocean or at the pool. I love that it is easy to transport, and can fit in a suitcase. The hammock float appeals to all ages as you can use it as a hammock, a chair, a drifter or exercise saddle. It is fun for everyone! I liked that I had options of colors and that I could buy them in multi packs. The pillows at each end were a bit hard to inflate. I feel this is a great value for the money!

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.

I'm thrilled with this purchase, although I was surprised when I opened the box. I didn't understand that what it is, is essentially two inflatable pillows, connected by a panel of open-weave mesh. I was expecting a standard pool float, where the entire length of the thing is inflatable. But I like this so much better because:• you only have to blow up the 2 pillows, so it's a lot easier to blow up than a standard float• it's super easy to carry because you can just grab the mesh in your hand (or tie it to a backpack, or whatever) and the two pillows just dangle and bounce around• it dries quicker and easier than a big long slab of plastic• it stores easily, even inflated, because ... it's just two inflated pillows and a sheet of mesh• the mesh middle is what makes it so versatile - as the item description says, you can lie back on it, sit on it, use it to support your chest while you lie on your stomach ...The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a wee bit short. I'm only 5'10" and I felt like my legs were dangling a bit weirdly, and it would have been fixed by an extra couple inches on the mesh panel. If you're taller than 6-feet, I worry that you won't be comfortable trying to lie back and float on it. Of course you could still use it in all the other positions.

Great floatie to take in your carry on if you don't have much space. Easy to use and fun to have. We floated in the ocean for hours! Excellent value.

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!

This was the first thing I ordered after buying a pool. We had one in our play pool and I lived it. Perfect lounger and it doesn't take up a lot of space. Last year's was sun bleached a bit because it never left the pool so I ordered a new one. Exact.same one but one cushion does not hold air. It's a slow undetectable leak but needs inflated every day. Didn't have issue at all with the first one. For the price I'm not expecting it to last forever but a little annoying. Would be 5 stars if held air like last year's., easily.

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!
