SWIMLINE Original Cloud Chaise XL Pool Lake Float Lounger Raft for Adults & Kids | Comfortable Fabric Foam Texture for Floating & Backyard Lounging | Connect Multi Floats with Bungees

UPDATED REVIEW, 06/09/13: I have gotten over 2 years use out of this float. It has it's "issues" - has faded pretty badly, loses a bit of air in the chambers requiring you put a bit more in the air chambers weekly, and it is a BEAST to blow up yearly (it has 8 air chambers). Besides all this, I continue to find it the most comfortable pool float I have ever had, and with 2 years use, durable as well. The float is heavy enough that it has never been blown out of our pool during a thunderstorm, so this adds considerably to the durability factor. I prefer to float in a mostly upright position so I can read, look around, etc., so this float is ideal for me.I purchased this pool lounge chair/float about 2 months ago. It has been used many times in the past 2 months. I do not like to write reviews until I have given the product a "good run". So, with this pool float, so far/so good! This pool float is, by far, the most comfortable pool float I have ever owned in my 19 years as a pool owner. Let me give you the good and the few "bad" points. Good: 1). Super comfortable 2). The "fabric" is actually a pretty durable, high density polyester but it does have a fabric like feel and is non-sticky and comfortable. 3). It has been used at least 50 times in the past 2+ months and is holding it's own as far as durability in a chlorine based pool environment. 4). It does need a few puffs of air in some of the air baffles/pockets every week or so, but no big deal ............. no major leaks of any kind. ALL pool floats need the occasional bit of air added to compensate for air loss from the expansion/contraction from the sun and then cooler nights. The "bad" points: 1). There are multiple (8) air baffles that need inflated. Someone had mentioned how difficult it was to inflate some of the air baffles/pockets and then re-insert them into the proper compartments...............!? I don't know what would possess someone to remove the baffles to fill them!? I did remove the air baffles/bladders to stretch them out a bit and decompress them. I then re-inserted them back into their respective areas before I inflated them................no problems. 2). The "cup holder" is a joke...........really! It does not align well with the hole in the air bladder beneath, but if it is important to you and you do persist, you can get it to hold a standard beer/soda can or bottle. 3). As a previous reviewer mentioned you really do NOT rest back into a reclined position as the portrait suggest; the "model" on the box must be pushing back. This chair holds you in a fairly upright position. To allow my head to rest back a bit, I found that if I only put a bit of air into the very top (small) air bladder on the headrest you can rest your head back a bit. However, anyone who purchases this who has a cervical spine issue or who wants to recline backwards will be disappointed. Overall, I am very pleased with this pool float and if I get 2 or 3 seasons out of it I will be happy. It is hands down the most comfortable pool float I have ever owned (but I like sitting upright on a pool chair) and it can handle a person 200#+ if necessary and still remain buoyant.

This is the 3rd time I have ordered a float from Amazon in the last week . The first one, of a different manufacturer, leaked. Then we decided to switch to Swimline since we have had exceptional service from their products before. The first Swimline float shipped to us last week was used. The cover had dirt on it as though it was drug over a garage floor. Neither the pillow nor the mattress would hold air. Returned it for a replacement. The replacement was delivered yesterday. Both the pillow and the float held air over night. Finally a success........BUT NO...... my wife noticed a 5 inch rip in the in the outer cover.After further review, it was a manufacturing defect in the outer cover that appeared to look like a rip. The seams of two panels were not properly sewn together. They simply missed a 5 inch section when sewing. This is becoming a ridiculous scenario. Now in trying to return this product for "another" attempt to get a QUALITY product , the Amazon website will not allow us another try. I get a "We are sorry Something went wrong" message. I've tried 5 times to send it back for our last try and the website will not allow it for some reason. One more try tomorrow hoping for success. Success... Amazon approved the 3rd return... so with great hope, I ordered a 4th. Dumb decision....Update: NEVER ORDER AN INFLATABLE PRODUCT FROM AMAZON...The 4th ordered pool float arrived today 06/07/2022. I chose to have it packaged in an Amazon package hoping for a better outcome. I assumed a box but it was shipped in a plastic pouch. The pouch had a box knife cut in it as received. The cut extended thru the Swimline box. Unbelievably, it did not appear to have cut the float itself. I put air in the float; but, as before the float would not hold air. ...Another failed product received. It almost seems that Amazon is sending me their previously failed products. After 4 failed attempts by Amazon to send me a quality, marketable product, I'm DONE!!! I do not think Amazon has the ability to do so. No More. Tired of repackaging and returning. Amazon, if you are listening, I have pictures of the delivered products prior to opening, if you have interest.

Easy to inflate - holds xl people

I'm so glad I tested these (I bought two) before bringing them on our two-week vacation in the mountains because they were a failure on all counts. I inflated the seemingly durable inner air mattress and within minutes it was deflated. I had to unhook and pull the mattress out of its fabric lining through a small velcro opening (which was quite a chore) to find the leak which I could hear but couldn't find. I decided to try the other. It inflated and held the air better and I put it in the pool. At first it was great, then it started to fill up with water and I was in a deepening puddle of water accumulating on top of the air mattress. I had to abandon ship. The space between the fabric cover and plastic mattress had taken in so much water that I couldn't even lift it out of the pool to drain it. There are a few small drain holes in the fabric to drain it but it holds so much water that it's very heavy to lift in order to drain. I am so disappointed and really wonder it anyone actually tested these to understand the design defects before putting them on the market.
