Intex 58859EP Sit ‘N Float Inflatable Pool Float: Pool Lounge with Built-in Cup Holders – Heavy-Duty Handles – 220lb Weight Capacity – 58″ x 39″ – Colors May Vary

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.

You NEED this. Yes you.
I am usually not one to write reviews, but Y’ALL. I was lazily scrolling on Amazon the other day looking for a new pool floatie (RIP my old unicorn, she popped). I came across this one and my eyes bulged out like in a cartoon. Though I didn’t expect this floatie to be anything special, I picked it because I liked the design and color (orange). Boy was I mistaken!! This floatie is better than any other. The cup holders are very useful, but I tend to not put anything in them cause I slosh around so much getting into the floatie in the first place lol. But once you’re in….this thing has made my recent pool and lake days NEXT LEVEL. I could so easily fall asleep in this, and have. It positions you so nicely to where you can either sit up all the way, or lay back into the floatie and still feel supported. I got it only about a week ago, and have already used it like 10 times. So far I’ve only had to blow it up initially, and haven’t seen any leakage over the past week. This floatie paid my rent for me, took out the trash, and called my doctor to schedule an annual. That’s how relaxed and refreshed it makes me feel. I’ve always been a tube girl, simple donut look, but this design is a whole nother ball game. It gives you the advantage of being able to wade with your feet down in the water and your arms on the backrest, but you can also seamlessly transition into sitting in it like a tube, with your legs supported by a cushiony rest. If you have any doubts or hesitancies about buying this, just do it. My life is forever changed, I’ll be buying another even if it popped tomorrow, 10/10!!!

Did not hold air
Did not hold air. I blew it up and it did not hold air. I had to throw it away so it didn’t take up room in my luggage. I would have given 0 stars but you have to chose at least one.

The only float I will ever use!
This is the perfect float. It keeps just the perfect amount of my body in/ out of water and is so comfortable to relax in. The picture shows 2 floats but you only are buying one. The picture is showing color options that you may receive. I didn’t have a preference on color so I was fine with not being able to choose. The seat and float part have separate air tubes. They are relatively easy and quick to air up by blowing them up with my mouth. I’ve bought several over the years. After a lot of use some have ripped where the seat part meets the top part, but still worth the price. They usually last me a season or 2.

Es muy comodo para pasar un buen rato en la piscina o en la playa.

Acquistata per mio figlio, per il mare, durante la vacanza ha fatto bene il suo lavoro! Arriva in una scatolina di cartone, all’inizio forte sentore di plastica che svanisce lasciata la poltrona all’aria e con qualche giro in mare. Richiede buoni polmoni per il gonfiaggio, oppure una pompetta da viaggio, noi lo gonfiavamo e sgonfiavamo ogni giorno perchè è un pò ingombrante da portare in giro gonfio. Di una buona plastica resistente, bicolore vivace sopra trasparente, sotto giallo nella variante che mi è arrivata, ha 2 manici di plastica dura bianca a cui attaccarsi e 2 portabibite. Ci si appoggia con le braccia larghe, c’è un supporta per le gambe, il sedere sta a contatto con l’acqua. Si può ovviamente utilizzare anche a pancia sotto. L’abbiamo trovato comodo e ci accompagnerà in spiaggia anche quest’anno!Grazie per aver letto le mia recensione!
