With just over 13,000 five-star seals of approval, the Intex Floating Recliner is a bona fide hit with Amazon customers.
One shopper accurately described it as a "La-Z-Boy for the pool! ... The best pool floaty I have ever owned. Large grown men are comfortable on it. It keeps you totally out of the water. I have had better loungers, but all were significantly more expensive."
"It has exceeded my expectations," reported another. "The lounge is large enough to comfortably fit an adult and provides a spacious relaxing place to float in the pool or lake. The recliner design is fantastic, as it allows you to lean back and relax while keeping your head and feet elevated about the water."
Several shoppers praised the Intex's design, specifically its cup holders. Some noted, though, that they would have loved one tiny tweak. "Cup holders could be a bit wider," stipulated this shopper, "but overall, this is the only float for [my boyfriend]. "Want a strong but bougie float? This is it."
"I ordered this float for cooler days when I want to get in the pool but not get super wet," a five-star fan wrote. We can relate! "It's perfect for that! My dog gets on it with me and we float around the pool."
How much like a real recliner is this? So much that at first you'll actually feel a little bereft not having a remote in your hand. Trust us, though, you'll get over it.
