Floating chair vs. floating hammock, December 13, 2010
This review is from: Kelsyus Inflatable Floating Chair (Sports)
I purchased the Kelsyus floating chair as well as the Kelsyus floating hammock for a vacation to the Caribbean so I'll compare the pros and cons of both products below. Both spring-floats are perfectly sized for travel on an airline, are lightweight, and inflate easily. My wife and I hiked to remote beaches and used them on the sand instead of beach towels -- they keep the sand at bay and prop up your head for more comfort. The hammock is exceptionally easy to inflate and fold up when you're done. The chair, on the other hand, is more comfortable for lounging, although next to impossible to fold up properly. If I were recommending one for traveling, I would suggest buying the hammock because it inflates more quickly and folds effortlessly.
Floating hammock -- PROS:
(1) portable -- easily fits in a suitcase or as a carry-on
(2) easy to inflate -- pillow takes 4 breaths, hammock takes about 12
(3) quality inflation valves -- open and close with little effort
(4) folds easily -- fold it like a taco and it springs into a circle for storage
(5) great to use on the beach under your towel -- keeps sand away from you and provides a pillow for your head
Floating hammock -- CONS:
(1) difficult to climb onto when in the water
(2) submerges your body a little too low
(3) mesh bag not very sturdy
Floating chair -- PROS:
(1) portable -- folds even smaller than the hammock, although a bit thicker
(2) quality inflation valves -- open and close with little effort
(3) great to use on the beach instead of a chair -- more comfortable than the hammock
(4) easy to climb onto when in the water
(5) submerges your body perfectly in a seated position
Floating chair -- CONS:
(1) harder to inflate -- takes about 40 breaths to inflate fully
(2) impossible to fold properly -- the "fold like a taco" technique does not work with this chair; getting it to fold and fit back into the bag is a frustrating process of trial and error, if you can manage to fold it up at all
(3) mesh bag not very sturdy

Kelsyus Inflatable Floating Chair, August 29, 2010
This review is from: Kelsyus Inflatable Floating Chair (Sports)
This is an excellent product. I purchased two and bought two more for gifts. I am thinking of buying two more for Christmas gifts. They are very comfortable and fit any body size. They inflate quickly and deflate quickly and are very easy to store. We keep them on our boat.

BEST FLOAT EVER, May 29, 2011
This review is from: Kelsyus Inflatable Floating Chair (Sports)
I have never had a cooler float.......The most comfortable...love the back rest...would never buy a different style now......seem like it will last awhile with the fabric cover and handles are cool too.........one hole to fill with air...instead of the back being separate...easier to fill and it seem to distribute the air evenly for comfort......best part I bought it on Amazon saved 13 dollars then anywhere else I found them.......Love the float...Love my buy
