The Ultimate Guide to Pool-Friendly Bean Bags & Floating Loungers
There’s a particular kind of luxury that comes from doing nothing at all – just drifting, sun-soaked and half-submerged, suspended in a state of slow living. This is where pool-friendly bean bags and floating loungers come into their own. Less about trend, more about tempo, these pieces are a quiet invitation to take the day as it comes.
Sunny Spot knows that great outdoor design isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about ease, atmosphere, and comfort that holds up to the elements. With that in mind, the team shares their guide to choosing the best pool-friendly bean bags and floating loungers, helping you create a space where downtime feels truly effortless.
Designed for water as much as land, today’s loungers go beyond novelty. Think sculptural silhouettes in tonal hues, engineered from quick-drying, UV- and mould-resistant fabrics that soften exposure while standing up to wear. The key lies in performance materials – light enough to float, durable enough to leave outside, and stylish enough to blend seamlessly with contemporary outdoor settings.
Sunny Spot’s Limited Edition Riptide Pool Pillow, for instance, is designed and made in South Africa from UV-resistant fabric, so you can relax knowing your pool pillow will withstand lengthy exposure to the elements whilst continuing to look fabulous. Each item is filled with recycled polystyrene beads for the ultimate in buoyancy and comfort.
Similarly, the Prism Beanbag, available in a range of gorgeous UV-resistant fabrics, is designed with practical luxury in mind, meaning your Sunny Spot beanbag is designed to be left outside whilst continuing to look lovely.
Among the most considered options are double-seaters and low-slung loungers with integrated drainage and supportive fill – ideal for drifting in the pool or reclining on deck. Soft-edged yet structured, they adapt as your day unfolds.
To complete the experience, Sunny Spot recommends a few thoughtful additions: water-resistant cushions, such as the Patterned Fabric Pool Pillow, for added comfort, ottomans that double as tables, floating drinks trays, and shaded elements that invite longer stretches outside.
Whether you’re sunbathing, reading, or doing absolutely nothing, the right bean bag makes all the difference. And with options made to last beyond a single summer, it’s an investment in slow living at its most inviting.
