This Floating Pool Sofa Is My Favorite Way To Lounge Outdoors
Summer comes with longer days, warmer nights and that pull to spend every free moment outside. But as much as I love the idea of outdoor lounging, finding the right setup can be harder than it should be. Most outdoor furniture either looks good but isn't comfortable, or it's comfortable but a hassle to move, clean or maintain. That's why the Badesofa Pool Sofa Floating Lounger caught my attention. It looked like something that could do both: fit seamlessly into a modern outdoor space and actually be enjoyable to use. The Badesofa Pool Sofa comes in single and double, both perfect for poolside or in-pool lounging. PHOTO: RETAILERS / ILLUSTRATION: FORBES At first, I was mostly drawn to its look. It has a Scandinavian design that's clean and minimal, and it actually adds something to my outdoor space instead of cluttering it up. But now that I've used it for a few weeks, the appeal goes far beyond aesthetics. While the Pool Sofa looks substantial, it's super lightweight. I can move it without help, which means it doesn't have to live in just one spot. If I want to follow the sun across the yard, I can. If it looks like rain, I can move it under the deck so it doesn't get soaked. That said, you don't have to move it. You can buy a protective cover separately (which I do recommend) that does its job well and stays secure, even when a couple powerful thunderstorms passed through. Comfort-wise, it hits a sweet spot. It's firm enough to sit upright with a book or a drink, but soft enough that you still sink into it. It's filled with shape-retaining beads—similar to those you'd find in a high-end bean bag chair—so it conforms to and supports your body in any position. And it comes with an adjustable back cushion so you can prop yourself up or fully lounge. The only thing missing for me is a cup holder. But here's the real draw: It floats. You can take it from poolside lounger to pool float. I'll admit, I wasn't sure how well it would work, but it does. It stays steady in the water, doesn't wobble and feels so relaxing. It's a world above plastic pool floats that never feel quite comfortable enough to lounge in all day. I thought it might be too heavy to take out of the pool after floating, but it doesn't take on water and I could easily pull it out, thanks to sturdy handles on the side. I also tested it in a lake (although be warned that Badesofa does not recommend using it in a lake) and had the same zen experience. You can relax poolside or use the floating lounger as a pool float. Badesofa And while it looks uber fancy, it's actually quite low maintenance. The outer cover is 100% water- and UV-resistant, and it has a mesh underside to allow water to drain through. It wipes clean easily, dries quickly and doesn't stain or collect debris the way other fabric pieces do. While I do my best to cover it after every use, I've left it out in all kinds of weather, and it still looks great—I chose the lightest color option, too. I've had to spot clean it a couple times with some mild dish soap and water, and marks come right out. In short, the Pool Sofa has become my go-to lounging spot. It's practical, comfortable and well-designed. If you're looking for something that's as comfortable as it looks, this is a rare case where form and function actually meet.

Aldi slashes the price of its outdoor furniture by £75, and shoppers are calling the deal ‘madness'
WITH some now in full force, millions of Brits are rushing to enjoy the glorious weather outdoors. But if your garden could do with some TLC, you may wish to plan a trip to the nearest Aldi, where thrifty shoppers have spotted an epic deal. 2 The popular discount store has long been the go-to for many cash-savvy Brits when it comes to food - and the German retailer has now also stepped up its garden range. According to one fan of the supermarket, Aldi has slashed the price of stunning outdoor furniture - and you can save a whopping £75. Taking to Facebook to inform fellow bargain-mad shoppers about the epic deal, Chris Thomson revealed that Aldi is now selling an outdoor furniture set for a mere £24.99. The set - which includes two gorgeous chairs to relax in, as well as a smaller table - was originally going for an eye-watering £100. The stylish chairs come with light grey cushions that are ideal for providing that extra comfort when you're enjoying your morning coffee outdoors - or soaking up the sun whilst reading. The light grey style goes perfectly with the mini table, which is large enough for an outdoor candle and a bottle of your favourite tipple. If you want an extra pop of colour, you could also chuck on some bright patterned cushions - or a vibrant throw to keep you toasty during the chilly evenings. Given the epic price, it's advised to best race to the local Aldi as soon as possible to avoid disappointment on missing out. However, it's worth remembering that each location has varying stock - so some Aldi stores may not have this bargain. In his post, Chris revealed that he had bagged the gorgeous buy in Carlisle. I was quoted over $13k for my backyard garden renovation - but I did it myself with ChatGPT and saved over $11,000 At just £24.99, Aldi's cut-price version is significantly cheaper than at rival stores, where similar versions could cost you hundreds more. John Lewis shoppers, for instance, will have to fork out an eye-watering £299 - while furniture retailer Daals is charging customers an astronomical £729.
