Inflatable pods transform from patio lounges to chairs, pool floats and more

Add as a preferred source on Google

If you like to spend the hot summer months sprawled out on a pool deck, an Italian furniture company called Pigro Felice is about to take your poolside lounging to the next level. With their line of inflatable seating called Modul’Air, you can unfold and reattach every armchair and sofa to transform them into perfect floating pool furniture.

The idea behind Modul’Air is that each piece works as outdoor deck furniture and also floats on water with no hassle to support all your pool-lounging glory. Some pieces work as standalone convertible furniture, like the armchair or sofa that both fold out into floating pool loungers. There are also one-off pieces like a drink cooler, stability trays, floatable hammocks, and pillows.

Pigro Felice’s website also features an interactive platform builder, so you can mix and match the foldable pieces or design your own world of floating furniture to specific pool dimensions. Once you start with the floating base piece, it looks like the possibilities are virtually endless. There are nine colors to choose from in all the Modul’Air pieces, and accessories are all available as add-ons to your purchase.

Full convertible sets cost between $450 and $750, and individual Modul’Air pieces cost mostly within the $100 to $250 range. Some of the accessories are more fun-focused, like magnetic glasses to keep your in-pool libations from floating away or a blow-up seal, because why not? But practical accessories like an underwater anchor to keep your floating palace in place or a pump to blow up each Modul’Air piece without passing out make a whole lot of sense when it comes to building an inflatable empire.

Beyond the Boundary Wire: How Yardcare and the New N1600PRO are Leading the Robotic Mower Revolution
With automated routes and advanced mapping, Yardcare N1600 PRO robot lawn mower is made to meet modern lifestyle with smart precision.
Grass, Lawn, Plant

The weekend morning dread is a real situation, and homeowners know it pretty well. I've often woken up with the realization that the next few hours will be spent toiling with the hum of a petrol engine machine and hours of pushing a heavy mower around the yard. We’ve all been there, sweating under the sun, in our quest to achieve a green carpet that looks fine at best, but rarely ever achieves the work done by an expert. A fully automated solution should address all those problems, but finding a reliable one isn't a cakewalk.

The hassles of setting up boundary wire, mastering the navigation, and requiring constant manual supervision don't really sound like an autonomous dream. But tech is finally catching up, and one of its best specimens is Yardcare’s N1600PRO. The latest from Yardcare ensures that lawn care no longer means non-stop manual effort, but relaxed efficiency. If you're a homeowner who is increasingly leaning toward automation to take care of your yard space, Yardcare is here to help you make that smart shift with the N1600PRO.
