SWIMLINE ORIGINAL Fabric Covered Pool Float Mattress Ultimate Lounger Raft For Adults & Kids | Back, Leg, & Arm Rests, Cup Holder, & Quick-Dry Cover For Adult Or Kid Floating & Lounging 9047

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.

Purchased two of these as we prefer the fabric covered loungers. One as a gift for Christmas and another last week so we had a set. Used both on the lake yesterday, the 6 month old one with maybe three days of use will not hold air in one of the chambers….valve leaks slightly and only gets about 2 hrs use before you have to top it off.The new one out of the box has an even worse leak on the same main chamber and the carry handle ripped while carrying it back in partially deflated…. Huge hassle as this has multiple inflation tubes and small /cheap valves….not the larger easy to inflate type found on better products.The good news is the new one going back as its still within return window.I tried to make a warranty claim on the one from Christmas directly with Swimline. They acknowledge the request but have yet to respond to my claim and they have no phone …very disappointed. Avoid this brand, products are poor quality and they dont honor their 1 year warranty.Sad thing is I like the design of the lounger and the fabric cover enough to purchase a 2nd unit, but not the quality Id expect for $50 floating lounger so going to stick with 1 and look at other brands/options..

I have been in search of the "perfect" lounger. For me, this is something that is comfortable and does not hurt my neck area. I decided to try this even though I did see some mixed reviews.It is a great float! If you blow it up correctly, and push in the air locks, you will not have any issues. It does not just leak air. All sections blow up just fine too. I saw one review where they were showing that one arm did not blow up correctly. Each area has a large, inserted sturdy inflatable section so all you need to do is make sure it is not all wrinkes up so air can fill properly if you even have this issue.I love the versatility - you can have it all filled with air or (like me) lower the air in the back/neck areas. This has been a game changer for comfort. I finally have the float I need - comfort for my neck and ability to add/remove air to adjus to just the perfect height. I also found that if you want a chair - you can just fold up that leg extention and it pushes intl the seat section. Then you can literally float around as if you are sitting in a chair.Get this - it is a great float at a good price. I think it will make it thru many season.Gotta go get in it now!

While it's quality seems OK, it does not stay inflated. Within 24hrs was almost half deflated. Biggest issue is it's bad design. It being "modular" with sectarian inflatable pockets is not good. It just wants to fold in half and lashes your forward and the back is easy to vertical and no support. Makes really uncomfortable. Worked decent for kids and teens, but most adults probably not.

I found it a bit clumsy to blow up but my grandchild helped out. I do think it’s as described. Haven’t put it in the pool yet but it looks comfy.

Inflated 5 different chambers for this pool float to be usable after I received it, went to use it the following day and the seat and arms of the float which is the main part does not hold air.. paid over $60 for something that is unusable.. super annoying, because now I have to take air out of all chambers and try and fold it back up to return and haven’t even had a chance to enjoy it…

Solid quality but leave it slightly less inflated in the back and arm rest area unless you want to sit on top of the water as opposed to slightly down in the water if it’s hot out. Adjusting the air out of it means going back to shore and ripping open long strips of Velcro then removing long tubes and deflating then reinserting. When you set this up decide do you hardly want to touch water or kinda be sitting in the water a bit. Inflate 1/2 or 3/4 as much if you like to lounge in cool water.
