Big Joe Captain's Float No Inflation Needed Pool Lounger, American Nautical Stripe Double Sided Mesh, Quick Draining Fabric, 3 feet

We love our Big Joe Float! It can be used in the pool for some comfy reading time. It can also be used as an extra seat for the poolside! There have been many times that I’ve sat on ours with my feet dangling in the water. Very comfy! Our first one lasted two years.

This has got to be one of the best floats I've ever had! It's full of beads so no inflation needed. When dry it is super lightweight and has 3 carry handles. You can shift the beads around which allow you to sit more upright or lie down nearly flat. I have had this float for a year. I live in Florida and have a pool so it lived outside most of last summer. I took it to the springs and floated on it in the river. Great deep cup holder!!! Cool side pocket for flip flops or other waterproof items. Faded a bit...but Florida!! Fabric still looks great. No snags or pulls that I see. It IS fabric so you don't slide easily on it. Fabric also means you don't burn your parts on it. Bought a bags of beads to fluff it up a bit this season. Worked well. When pulling it out of water go slow and let it drain and it is easy. Cons...since it doesn't deflate you need a little room to take it places. Taking it on a 3 hr river float in a month...standby.

I can't speak highly enough about these floats. We bought two of them and they can't be more perfect. You're not entirely out of the water but you're also not entirely submerged so you stay cool enough in the heat. The float will form to whatever shape you'd prefer, whether it's laying back flat or sitting upright. There's a handy side pocket for your phone (if it's in a waterproof case) and a cup holder. These floats aren't designed to get wild and crazy with so if you have rambunctious kids or rambunctious adults I wouldn't put these out for them to use. The Styrofoam beads are loose inside the float (as opposed to having their own "containment system") so if it blows a seam from rough play you will have beads in your pool. But the loose beads are precisely what makes this float perfect because you can make it whatever sort of chair you'd like. If relaxing on a float is your idea of perfect pool time then theses floats are perfect for you!

I love this for lounging by the pool! The only thing that would make it better would be for it to be a little taller as getting out of it is tough. LOL! I've used it in my pool as well, and it floats great. The picture is a little deceiving as it looks like it has more "beans" than it does. It could use more beans, however I could lay on my stomach comfortably since it is not full of beans. Nice material. A little expensive in my opinion, though. But, overall, a nice item.

This is a great pool float. Unfortunately, after having it for only a week , where the cupholder is, a spiders nest hatched and we had a bajillion spiders everywhere. At the same time we lost all the beads on that side for some readon. I know this is out of their control, but I threw the float away and I cried.

Love this floating chair. It's very comfy.

Well made and larger than I thought. Multiple cup holders and great for napping! Very lightweight and looks durable - hopefully it stands up to the Florida sun. And the box it came in has instructions to make a castle - perfect for the kiddos.

Such a great option for by the pool, in or out of water

Love this floater

I booked down and ordered this for my husband who is picky about his pool chairs. He’s over 6 feet so it’s harder to find something appropriate for him. He loves it! (So do I) it’s super Sunday and no need to blow up. I loved it so much, I bought the flat lounger as well. It’s a little pricey compared to buying direct from Big Joe but harder to ship to Canada so I just gave in and spent the money. Hopefully, it lasts.

This item is great if you start out of the pool. Trying to get on it in the water is rough. Beads move around and it is never where you want them. Start out of the water and jump back into it.
