What Is a Water Hammock? And why is our Best Seller for ages!

If you’ve been scrolling Insta with your double chin (don’t worry, we’ve all got one) and spotted people looking like they’re half floating, half reclining in the water… that, my friend, is a water hammock.

Think of it as the sweet spot between a pool float and a sun lounger: you’re supported, comfortable, and still dipped in the water to stay cool. 

But here’s the thing… not all hammocks are created equal. Some look cute in photos but collapse after two dips. Others fade faster than a cheap bikini left in the sun. And let’s not even start on the cheap materials that hold your fake tan stains like a crime scene.

Light colours? Nude and beige floats might look aesthetic online, but in reality — they’re a mess.

So, What Exactly Is a Water Hammock?

A water hammock is an inflatable float with a mesh centre. You blow up the ends, pop it in the pool (or the beach, river, or lake), and lie back. The mesh cradles your body so you’re partly submerged — just enough to keep you cool, without that sticky “sweaty float” vibe.

It’s like chilling in your own personal sling bed, except you’re on the water. Some call it a pool hammock or floating hammock, but no matter the name, it’s one of the best pool floats in Australia right now.

Why Aussies Are Obsessed With Water Hammocks

• Cooler than your standard pool float → You’re not roasting on top of the water, you’re floating in it.
• Portable AF: Deflates in minutes, fits in a carry bag (yep, our hammocks come with one).
• Travel-friendly: Perfect for Bali, Queensland getaways, or just throwing in the car for a beach day.
• Double duty: Works as a luxe pool float and a sun lounger by the water’s edge.

Once you try one, your old donut floatie feels… kinda sad.

ACQUABOSS vs Copycats (Because Let’s Be Real)

Yes, other brands tried to copy the original Water Hammock. But here’s why they don’t measure up:

• UV-rated fabric: Ours won’t fade after one summer.
• Heavy-duty seams: Because nobody wants a float that leaks halfway through your pool party.
• Vivid, boss-level colours: Designed to show off your personality — bold, bright, unapologetically fun.
• Luxe carry sack: Pack, store, travel — sorted.

Copycats might be cheaper, but cheap won’t survive an Aussie summer.

The Different Types of Water Hammocks

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to pool lounging:

• Single Water Hammock: Your solo escape. Compact, light, and perfect for “me time” (or keeping the kids off your float).
• Double Water Hammock: Twice the space, twice the fun. Couples, besties, or anyone who refuses to float alone — this is your move.

Pro tip: If you’ve got the space, go double. Sharing is optional.
