I may be limited to the confines of my apartment garden in London — I only have a patio and small grassy space to work with — but that doesn't mean I can't dream about owning a pool. In fact, I've been doing exactly that ever since I saw this Floating Outdoor Lounger by Badesofa a few months ago. It's so sophisticated-looking I'd forgive you for not even realizing it's actually a pool float.
Having watched my parents care for their backyard pool for decades, I know two things for sure: it's hard to find stylish pool floats that last longer than a season, and high-quality deck loungers are a buy-well, buy-once sort of purchase. So, could over £1000 for a pool float be justified? This one feels like a piece that ticks all the right boxes: It is resistant to water, UV rays, chlorine, and salt, and the 'Magic Dry' function helps it dry quickly without retaining excess moisture. Sleek modern design? Plush cushions? I mean, this floating lounger does it all.
