Floating Comfort: The Rise of Pool Bean Bags in Luxury Resorts

May 23 20:51 2025

As luxury travel continues to evolve toward experience-driven design, resorts around the world are turning to a new staple of poolside comfort: floating bean bags. Once a casual backyard trend, pool bean bags are now becoming a hallmark of five-star resorts and exclusive villas from Bali to the Bahamas.

These floating loungers-crafted with buoyant beads and water-resistant fabrics like marine-grade olefin-are redefining what it means to relax in the water. Unlike traditional inflatables or rigid loungers, they mold to the body, offering ergonomic support and a luxurious floating experience.

“We’ve seen a massive increase in resort inquiries over the past 18 months,” said Geoff Brand, founder of Bean Bags R Us, a leading supplier of premium outdoor and marine bean bags.

“Hospitality brands are investing in products that combine high performance, comfort, and Instagram-worthy design-and pool bean bags check all three boxes.”

Built for Luxury, Engineered for Durability

Resorts and holiday homes demand durability. That’s why floating bean bags are made from tough, UV-resistant materials that stand up to sun, salt, and chlorine. Many models include stainless steel eyelets for tethering, removable liners for easy cleaning, and fire retardant materials-ensuring both form and function are optimized for commercial use.

“We use fabrics like solution-dyed olefin that won’t fade or degrade like cheaper outdoor materials,” Brand added. “Our clients-particularly in the hotel, spa, and marine sectors-want investment pieces that hold up season after season.”

A Poolside Statement

Beyond comfort and resilience, pool bean bags also provide serious aesthetic value. Available in vibrant hues, nautical stripes, and contemporary neutrals, they elevate any waterfront setting. Their bold silhouettes and float-anywhere appeal make them a popular choice for lifestyle resorts looking to craft a distinctive brand image through design.

“They’re not just practical,” said Brand. “They’re visual magnets. Guests love sharing photos lounging on them-it’s free marketing for the resort.”

Resort Style at Home

With more homeowners investing in high-end outdoor living spaces, pool bean bags are no longer exclusive to resorts. Products like the Amalfi Pool Lounger and Portsea Premium Pool Float are becoming staples in private residences, holiday homes, and boutique accommodation properties across Australia and beyond.
