The Best Pool Floats to Buy This Summer

We might be nearing the end of the summer but there’s still some time to enjoy the warmer, longer days. Summer technically doesn’t end until September 22, so until then, we’ll be squeezing out every last drop of the sunny season. That means getting in all the pool days we can. A pool day isn’t the same without a few fun floats to lounge around on, so I’ve rounded up some of the best pool floats to buy this summer.

Gone are the days of just pool tubes and noodles—the options now are seemingly endless and quite creative. There’s everything from relaxed loungers and chaises to inflatable cabanas and floating pool mats. With a variety of options there’s something for every pool setup and every type of swimmer.

Point Lobos Oversized Pool Tube

It doesn’t get much more classic than a pool tube. I love that the neutral colors and subtle patterns ensure that these tubes won’t be an eyesore while floating around the pool.

Water Hammock Pool Float

A hammock style pool float is a summertime necessity—it creates a comfy way to cool off on those really hot days.

Inflatable Rolling Wheel

My kids were obsessed with this inflatable wheel this summer. It provides hours of fun and entertainment for them, and it’s also the perfect lounging spot for me. Plus, who doesn’t love a good Amazon find?

Funboy White Leisure Chair

The shape of this pool chair allows for everything from reading your favorite book to chatting with friends. It will keep you dry while still allowing your feet to dangle in for a quick cool down.

Inflatable Mesh Lounger

Looking to take a dip and float mindlessly? Then this mesh float is for you. It allows you to do just that, and it has a built-in cup holder so you can take an ice cold beverage in the water with you.

Endless Summer Inflatable Chaise

If you’re looking to splurge then I’d suggest going for this luxurious pool chaise. It can be used as both a pool float or as seating outside of the pool. It’s exterior is made out of Sunbrella fabric, so you know it’s comfortable and durable.

Giant Pool Float Mat

This one provides fun for the whole family! With its giant size, everyone can spread out and enjoy.

Funboy Bali Cabana Lounger

I’d consider this stylish float the adult version of the orange wheel. The shade detail allows for hours of sun-free lounging. 

Inflatable Aqua Swan

Because every pool needs a pet swan! An inflatable swan is a timeless pool accessory, but I think this one looks a bit more elevated than most on the market.

Classic Lounge Pool Float

Sometimes the classics are the best, and this pool float exemplifies that. It’s a classic for a reason, and with eight colors to choose from, there’s one to fit every backyard pool vibe.

Funboy Two Way Chaise Pool Float

The geometric blue and white pattern makes this pool float one of the prettiest I’ve seen. With it’s dual chaise shape, it’s both pretty and functional.

Petite Pommes Classic Pool Ring

A blue and white striped pool ring seems like a poolside necessity. This color is my favorite, but it also comes in navy, rose, sage green, and yellow.

Sunnylife Lilo Tube Pool Float

An updated and more playful take on a typical lounge pool float. It’s like it’s classic counterpart, just with a little more visual interest.
