The best fun pool floats on , according to hyperenthusiastic reviewers, as well as the more practical pool floats for rafting and for soaking, including pool floats for toddlers, flamingo-shaped pool floats, and unicorn pool floats.
Reviewers have taken these floats everywhere from the Maldives and Jamaica to a resort in Mexico and a small lake in Missouri, and many have purchased more than one. “Mine was the envy of the community pool all year,” writes one satisfied shopper. Several reviewers praised the Kelysyus for its comfort level. “This thing is like taking a Lay-Z-Boy in the water!” writes one reviewer (who is not the only one to compare it to a Lay-Z-Boy, either). Another says, “I love to lay in the pool and read my books in the summer time, and normally I have just a normal, flat raft. After about 20–30 minutes my neck and back will start to ache from the angle I’m holding my book at, while trying to keep the sun out of my face … This raft solves all those problems! Very comfortable, and the mesh keeps you cool.” The float itself is light at just seven pounds, and several shoppers note that it works well for larger adults. One reviewer writes, “It holds 300 pounds, and tall people too,” and another says that it “holds my fat ass.” There’s even room to share: “These are the best floats ever!!” one floater writes. “Even my dog loves to sit on my lap and float with me.”
Many reviewers love this float for its portability, and the fact that it’s so thin you don’t have to deflate it after every use. “They roll up nice, even when inflated, which allows for easier storage,” writes one shopper. “They float well too without being bulky.” One reviewer comments, “I’m seven months pregnant other thicker floats are to thick for me to lay on my stomach. I can lay on this float on my stomach comfortably and float around the pool.”
“We got some STRANGE looks in Waikiki, let me tell you!” says one reviewer who gave this float five stars. Many people enthuse over the size of the lobster. “This lobster is huge,” writes one. “He’s HUGE and so much fun in the pool,” says another — which makes for steady floating in water. This float has personality, too — at least two reviewers have named theirs “Larry.” “I’ve seen many other floaties come and go but Larry has hung on for two years,” says one wistful purchaser. “Sadly, this past week he met his demise. The neighbor boys [loved] him so much they were planning a funeral.”
It wouldn’t be pool season without the classic, Instagram-worthy choice: the unicorn pool float. While there are plenty of unicorn floats out there, this one impressed reviewers for its durability and size. “Super sturdy and stays well inflated after having kids jump on it repeatedly!” one reviewer writes. Many reviewers reported that the float made them the envy of their friends. “This magical steed gallantly carried my husband down the river in the epitome of style. Kayakers and rafters alike stared and jealousy and awe. Some were speechless others came right over and joined our crew. It was perfect,” says another shopper.
“As a mid-30s mother of two that just got an above ground pool, I fulfilled my lifelong dream of riding on Shamu,” says one shopper. The float has handles, making it easy to ride, and the quality is high for the price. “I am so shocked this inexpensive float lasted so long,” writes one shopper. Several commenters who left it inflated at the end of the season report that it survived the elements: “It has sat through ice storms, tornado warnings, extreme heat and cold, it has been jumped on by countless children — and it has survived!” says one.
“I love products that solve problems, and this is definitely one of them,” one reviewer writes. “Before receiving this table, there was a constant dilemma of should I play beer pong or should I go swimming. Thanks to this product I can now move on to other life problems.” Reviewers had a lot of fun with this float, and one suggests a DIY touch to keep the game going at night: “We used these are our family vacation and honestly — none of us remember the night?! My best advice: Paint the ping pong with glow in the dark paint.”
Parents of toddlers love this float, which features a mesh seat with leg holes for kicking, and a sun canopy to protect little ones from sunburns and overheating. Reviewers praise how safe the float is: “Overall, the float was safer than having her in my arms where she was slippery and could have slipped out of my grasp.” Peace of mind was a theme among reviewers: “I’m a first time mom so I’m nervous about everything, but I felt like he was very secure floating in this.” writes ones. Another says, “We call it the ‘ring of zen’ because so many times my son would just chill in it for extended periods of time without crying and be very content,” says one purchaser.
4.4 stars, 794 reviews “This float is perfect and my daughter loves it. Even though it states it’s for 9 months and up, I purchased this for my 3-month-old to use while we are at our lake camp. She is able to lie back and float around, with us holding on to the float at all times, of course. This toy is wonderful for getting her acclimated to the concepts of floating and swimming. She is all smiles as she lies back and kicks her feet. I love that it has two inflated rings, which makes the float very stable. We plan on using this many times in the future, both at the lake and in the pool.”
