Floatzac: The Ultimate Floating Bean Bag for Poolside and Outdoor Comfort
In the UAE, where outdoor living is a big part of daily life for much of the year, having the right pool essentials makes all the difference. The Floatzac floating bean bag by Fatboy, available in the UAE, is designed to work both in the water and out of it, so you don’t need to switch between pool floats and outdoor seating. One piece, two functions.
You can use Floatzac in the pool like a regular floater, but once you’re done swimming, it works just as well as a low lounge seat on the patio or by the garden. It’s soft enough to relax into but sturdy enough to stay in shape. You won’t need to fuss over it, and it fits into most outdoor spaces without looking out of place.
What makes it different from other pool floaters is how natural it feels. No need to inflate anything or worry about it tipping over in the water. It dries quickly, holds up well in the sun, and blends in with the rest of your space.
What Is the Floatzac
The Floatzac floating bean bag is a versatile outdoor seat designed for both water and land use. Unlike standard pool floats or fixed outdoor chairs, it offers a more flexible way to relax, whether you're floating in the pool or resting on the patio.
-
Designed for Water and Dry Surfaces
What sets Floatzac apart is its dual functionality. You can use it as a floating lounger in the pool, and once you're done, simply move it to the terrace, garden, or decking. There's no need to switch between furniture pieces, making it ideal for spaces that blend indoor and outdoor living.
-
Balanced Comfort and Support
The internal filling is made from soft, flexible beads that shift and settle around your body, offering a natural feel while sitting or lying down. Despite this softness, the Floatzac maintains its shape and support over time.
The Floatzac floating bean bag has a low, open style that fits into most outdoor setups. It doesn’t look like a typical pool float. Instead, it blends in with other outdoor furniture. It’s practical, relaxed, and works across different spaces, from modern terraces to simple garden corners.
Pool Floater Meets Outdoor Lounge
The Floatzac floating bean bag offers a practical seating solution for outdoor spaces with direct access to water. It functions as both a pool float and a lounge chair, making it suitable for use in and out of the pool
-
Floats Without Inflation
Unlike standard pool floats, the Floatzac doesn’t need to be inflated. It’s filled with EPS beads that keep it buoyant. You can place it directly in the pool, and it will float with your body weight evenly supported. This makes it more stable and comfortable than thin plastic loungers or inflatables that often tip or deflate.
Use it for longer pool sessions where you want to relax without having to shift or adjust constantly. It’s suitable for adults, teens, and older children.
-
Dries Quickly After Use
After using it in the water, you can place it on the terrace, decking, or lawn. The base has mesh that allows water to drain out, and the fabric dries quickly in the sun. You don’t need to store it away or bring out separate seating.
If you’re hosting, move the Floatzac from the pool to a shaded area with a small side table. It makes a comfortable seat for post-swim drinks or a quiet rest in the garden.

Built with Outdoor-Ready Fabric
The Floatzac comes in two outdoor fabric options: Sunbrella® and Olefin. Both are designed to resist sun damage, chlorine, and general outdoor wear. They won’t fade quickly and can be left outside during summer without being damaged.
If your space gets full sun most of the day, go for a lighter colour to reduce heat build-up. For areas with frequent use or near saltwater, Sunbrella® offers added resistance.
Why Choose Floatzac Over Regular Pool Floaters
There are plenty of options when it comes to pool seating, but most floaters serve a single purpose and don’t last beyond the season. The Floatzac floating bean bag is different. It’s made to handle more than just water and offers long-term value for outdoor living.
Long-Lasting Materials
The Floatzac is made from high-performance outdoor fabrics such as Sunbrella® and Olefin. These materials are resistant to fading, chlorine, and exposure to sun and water. The internal filling consists of EPS beads that are light, buoyant, and supportive without losing shape. The underside features mesh fabric that allows water to drain easily, preventing build-up and damage over time.
Compared to typical water floaters, which are prone to punctures, deflation, or fabric wear, the Floatzac offers a more durable alternative that withstands regular outdoor use throughout the warmer months.
Low Maintenance
The Floatzac requires very little care. It can be rinsed off with water or spot cleaned as needed. Because it is made from breathable, fast-drying materials, it does not hold excess moisture, reducing the risk of mould or odour. It also doesn’t need to be deflated or stored between uses.
Multifunctional From Pool to Patio
Most pool floaters are limited to water use only. The Floatzac functions both in the pool and on dry land. Its shape and structure allow it to float steadily in water and also sit flat and stable on patios, terraces, decking, and lawns. There’s no need to move between separate pieces of furniture, it’s built to transition smoothly between wet and dry environments.
Where to Use Floatzac: Ideas for Every Outdoor Space
The Floatzac floating bean bag's shape, weight, and fabric allow it to work well across many outdoor settings, whether you’re creating a casual garden lounge, styling a rooftop terrace, or adding comfort to a boat deck.
Here are a few ways to use Floatzac across different spaces, with practical tips for each:
Pool Deck or Poolside Area
The Floatzac fits easily on tiled, concrete, or wooden pool surrounds. After floating in the water, it can be pulled out and placed directly on the deck as a dry, low lounge chair. Its mesh underside helps water drain, so it won’t soak the surface underneath.
Tip: Place two or three Floatzacs near the pool edge for a relaxed seating zone. Add outdoor cushions and a small side table to keep drinks and towels close by.
Garden or Lawn
Floatzac works well directly on grass or artificial turf. Its soft base and lightweight form make it easy to move into shaded or sunny spots. It gives you a comfortable way to lie back and enjoy the garden without needing a full outdoor sofa set.
Tip: Use it near a tree or pergola where there’s natural shade. Pair it with a light outdoor throw or floor mat to create a quiet reading corner or nap spot.
Rooftop Terrace or Balcony
In smaller spaces like terraces or balconies, Floatzac offers seating without taking up much room. Its low height keeps the space open, and its soft lines work well with both modern and natural surroundings.
Tip: For rooftops with strong sun, choose lighter-coloured fabric to reduce heat. Match it with neutral planters or potted herbs to keep the space calm and uncluttered.
Boat or Dockside
Floatzac is suitable for use on boats, pontoons, or private docks. Its buoyant design and rust-proof fixtures make it safe around saltwater or fresh water. When not in the water, it can be used on deck for relaxing during anchor.
Tip: Store the Floatzac in a shaded compartment when not in use to extend the life of the fabric. Bring it out for calm afternoon floats or dockside rest after a swim.
Covered Outdoor Lounges or Patios
You can also use Floatzac as a permanent seat in covered areas like patios or verandas. It stays comfortable in changing weather and can be left out during the season.
Tip: Style with low tables, lanterns, or outdoor rugs to create a relaxed corner for guests or quiet afternoons.
