Aqua 4-in-1 Monterey Hammock XL

This was purchased to replace an older version of the same product. On our last international trip, I mistakenly failed to wash and completely dry the last salt water off my well used and beloved float prior to packing it in the suitcase, causing it to become stained with mildew or mold. As a frequent traveler and germaphobe, I’m grossed out by the thought of using a pool float at a resort that’s been used by who-knows-how-many people. The deluxe water hammock is the perfect solution. I was pleasantly surprised to receive this replacement as it looks even nicer and comes with a storage bag the previous one didn’t have. Excellent for packing in a suitcase, lightweight and lays flat. Inflation is a cinch (less than 1 minute to inflate or deflate completely- no pump needed!), the plastic is thick and durable, and the fabric washes nicely and does not fade. Carrying handles are useful for keeping hands free when walking to the pool or beach. It’s so comfortable I can float for literally hours, and this has become one of my can’t-leave-home-without-it travel necessities. Be sure to thoroughly rinse and dry after using in sea or lake water prior to packing in a suitcase. Once home I use a sponge and vinegar/water solution then rinse. If needed, a deep clean can be done by diluting 2 tbsp bleach/1 gallon warm water, agitating with a scrub brush. Rinse well and dry completely before storing.

This seems like a ridiculous little floaty but I find this extraordinarily comfortable to lie/lay in. It’s honestly my go-to floaty. I’m a big ol’ dude and floating in this I feel very stable in the water. At first you’re like what is THIS crazy little floaty for? There are two inflated pieces; one piece I rest my head on (like your neck is on it basically idk) and the other inflated piece sits like under my knees. Simple and truly relaxing. So many floaties try too hard to LOOK comfortable but simply aren’t. You know what I’m talking about. Those floaties that look like a narrow mattress type of thing with a “pillow” and seams running the length. If that makes sense. You lie down ONTO these more decorative floaties and you’re like all tippy and then your friend who drinks too much sure enough swims over and tips you off super easy. It’s like dude you should probably cool it a little you’re making a scene but it’s hard to say anything. You know. But this floaty you’re stable and your back end is down in the water a little which might not work for some folks in natural water who might get unnerved by the thought of a fish coming up and giving you a little nibble which can happen because nature is absolutely unpredictable.

Very good quality and love it folds up and can be slipped back into it's carrying case.

Because the valve is a bit farther off the edge and the pillow part needs to go in, it’s a pain to blow it up all the way and get it inside the pillow sleeve. So if you set up up and use it for a few days it’s worth it but if you need to do it daily, it’s a pain. The fabric is nicer and it is easy to get on and off and lay on my back. The XL ones are too big for my 5’1” gram and this one is just right.

Fantastic!

These are the best pool floats we have found. You can sit or lay on them and adjust to what is comfortable for you. They last a few year before the mesh starts to rip, this is acceptable for kids jumping on them and dog clawing them.

Love it!! I have a long torso and I'm 5'9. I'm glad i got this larger size. I love how i am in the water floating, i can exercise while in the water do stretches and twists. It's for those with ADHD who can't be still for a long time. I can move around on this, did some leg pullups, a workouts, reached, arm stretches in water. So versatile. If you like to move and water is your element you will love it. First i thought that it was leaking air, since i blew it up to the max. And when i got it in the pool, it sort of deflated a bit. The next day when i looked at it it was really hot and it was firm fulled with air, then went to the pool again and deflated a bit. LOL guess what? I forgot about physics class in 7th grade 😂 hot air takes up more space than cold air! So in the cold water pool the same amount of air collapesd and in the heat it got bigger. Duuuhhh. I almost returned it as defected, but didn't want to because I enjoyed it so much I'm glad i waited a day and gave it some time. So if it happens to you, it's not defected, you will see, it will be firmer in the heat without adding more air. Easy to get on, sit in the net first and then lean while you turn to lay down. Love how i can sit on it and have a conversation or just swim with it while not on it, by having it under my arms hugging them. Huge plus is it takes up very little space.

I inflated the two rafts last week. Our weather has been too cold to use, but the one deflated immediately. When I checked the liner, it had a gas that went right through both sides of the liner. We have not even used them. I spent extra money on these because I thought they were sturdy or looking than some of the other rafts.. I contacted the seller but have not received any solution. I know I received a patch with each one of them, but the patch is not the answer here. It should not have come with a cut in the inflatable part of the raft

Don't waste your money on the cheaper ones available. Their material is thin , cheap and kind on sticks to you. ( I returned one of those prior to ordering this one).THIS one is the real deal and well worth the extra money (mine did not come from UK but got here quite quickly). Just back from a week in Greece and it is still as new after a week in the ionian sea.

Took on holidays for pool amazing everyone whated to know wear i got it.

Arrived the next day and does what it says on the tin. Not particularly long or large, but works for me. Perfect

So comfortable! Easy to pack down to the beach even when inflated. Be careful, you might fall asleep, they are supportive and freeing at the same time. We have gotten a ton of questions about them and quite often I just jump off and let the person try them. I am a larger woman and have that paranoia if something will keep me up or not, the XL is great because I am 5’10 but if I was shorter the normal size one would hold me up fine. Plus, it’s easy to get on and off of in the water, so no embarrassing dying seal type performances happen. It’s been my favorite purchase this season!

Excelente material, ótima qualidade
