Aqua 18-Pocket Contour Lounge

Perfect! Comfortable, and keeps me cool while I relax in the pool. Seems to be sturdy.

CLARIFICATION: I see that all the reviews for all the styles of floats sold on this page are grouped together. This review is only for the Aqua 18-Pocket Inflatable Contour Lounge. This is the model I purchased.For the past several years I have bought an expensive foam float. I have to get one every year, they just don't last past one season. This year I decided to try something different and I am so happy! This float has a fabric top that is very soft to the touch and shed water great. The float is made from heavy plastic. It did not smell bad when I opened it, just like plastic and that went away in just a couple hours. The main part of the float and the pillow inflate separately. It probably took me 5 minutes to inflate but I am almost 60 lol. I just took my time and was able to do it ok. I found the float is most comfortable for me with the body inflated about 70% of full and the pillow about 40% of full. I weigh 200 pounds and it holds me up just fine with this much inflation. I am comfortable laying on my back and on my stomach both! This was not the case with the foam floats I had before. In fact, this float has hollows that allow my feet to be very comfortable when laying on my stomach. It is easy to pull out of the water and store, quite light and the water sheds off quickly. I suggest this float for adults. With the holes it might be possible for a child to have an arm or leg to go through a hole in such a way they might not be able to right themselves. I have only had it 2 weeks so I cannot say with certainly how long it will last. With tax and all this was about $30. I could buy 6 of these and still be paying less than I paid for the foam float I bought last year. If this lasts the season I will be way ahead! Even if I have to buy a couple more I will come out better.

I've been using this float daily for 2 months. This float is extremely comfortable in the pool. I'm 6', 250 lbs and have plenty of room. It supports me on the water without sinking into the water. The attached pillow is well designed and comfortable. I used an air compressor to inflate the float, I would not recommend blowing it up manually as it is large. The blue color is nice and pleasing, design on one side, dark blue on the other. The float has a nylon mesh-like cover and looks removable - never needed to remove it, I guess if you needed to repair the float or to wash the cover. The float has rope handles on each side that makes it easy to hold and maneuver out of the water. Out of the water, the float dries quickly.

The wife loves how it floats and feels. Lays perfect. It just doesn’t hold air very well. Have to inflate it every couple of hours. Will return and try another one to if we just got a defective one

I like this float, a lot. It's very stable and you don't have to worry about doing one of those goofy side, back, front, contorted flips like happens with many pool floats. It has a separate pillow chamber, so you can inflate/deflate for your comfort. It's very comfortable and easy to fall asleep when floating around. My only complaint is typical of these things, and it's that they just don't last. I wouldn't mind if it lasted one SWFL pool season for me, which is about 8 months. Okay, most places outside the deep south don't have a long pool season, so maybe these things last a season or two, but hey, one can wish, right?

Spent many hours on this over the summer. Great float. Very comfortable. There are holes built into it, so water will keep you nice and cool. Long enough for me - 5'9. Good purchase.

My favorite float! Purchased one approximately five years ago and just bought another because I'm not sure how much life is left in the first. Doubt anyone will regret this purchase.

We got this and the next day aired it up and I deflated as soon as pressure wqs applied. Put air in again put it in the pool and as soon as my daughter got on it deflated again
