I bought this bed for the beach holiday. One should be aware that it weighs about 4-5 kg and takes up much space in your suitcase! You should also bring a electric air pump, thus saves you a lot of breath :). The sun itself is super comfortable, only very slight sharp points at the seams, but not so that you could be injured. The cup holder in my opinion, unnecessary, the handles surrendered just on the high seas already are handy if you want to climb this couch out of the water. Even stronger waves at the beach area have this couch not mind, it really holds a lot of!
