Buying Guide
Can you think of anything more relaxing then riding on a cute pool float in the cool water, with the warm sun on your skin? Whether you have a drink or a book in your hands, it’s one of the best ways to let it all go while you rest and recharge. Plus, it’s also a great way to have a leisurely snooze — just throw on your shades and relax.
However, while any old pool floatie might do, the experience is even more enjoyable when you’re riding on a float that look great, matches your personality and captures others’ attention. For example, while a plain white floatie will work just as well, a bright pink unicorn or pirate ship just seems more fun.

What to Look For
- When it comes to materials for cute pool floats, you have two main options: vinyl or foam. Vinyl is more malleable as compared to foam, so you will find floats made out of this material in every shape and style. Keep in mind that vinyl floats require an air pump to inflate. Foam floats, on the other hand, don’t need to be inflated. This material is limited in shape, so it is typically found in cylinders or tubes when it comes to pool floaties.
- If you have an inflatable pool float, it’s important to have a patch repair kit handy. You never know when you will sprout a leak, as even high quality vinyl can be punctured by something sharp like the back of an earring. When using the repair kit, be sure to follow instructions correctly so that you don’t cause any further damage to the floatie.
- If you’re looking for an air pump, you’ve got two options: manual or electric. Manual pumps will require quite a bit of energy, so you may want to have a friend help you if you’re working on a big inflatable float. Electric air pumps are more costly, but they work faster and are more effective than their manual counterparts.
More to Explore
If kids will be using the cute pool floats, then safety is your biggest consideration. Opt for a pool float that has a low center of gravity so it won’t easily topple over in the water. Getting one with safety valves and dual air chambers will also ensure it floats well. Keep in mind that a sun canopy is a good idea to avoid heat stroke and sunburns. Always remember to supervise kids in the pool and do not consider a pool float a lifesaving device as it cannot replace a lifejacket.
