Swimways Spring Float Recliner 13018 - Colors Vary

We use these primarily when on our boat (in the water). They inflate and deflate quickly with a small electric float pump. They are perfect for floating around while reading your favorite book and there is a place to put your drink! When you get snoozy, you can just put your book in a ziplock along with a sheet of paper towel to dry your hands on, and scrunch down for a quick nap. The foot rest is well designed and supports quite well. They are just a slight bit more interesting to collapse than the full length "spring" floats but once you get the hang of it they store flat in very little space. Unlike fully inflatable floats that hold you competely out of the water, these allow you to get wet and stay cool while you are relaxing. They also provide a great barrier when the bluegill get hungry.

Update Aug 2024 - I got these to replace my previous Swimways Recliners which are fabulous and held up for five years. The material is a little different, but basically the same as before. I've tried many floats and these are the best because you can sit upright or lean back a bit without falling off, keep your feet in or out of the water, they are lightweight, comfortable, hold up well and are pretty. Five years ago I got these to replace my (expensive) Baja chair which didn't hold up as well as I'd hoped; It's very comfortable, study, easy to inflate, easy to use and I have had many hours of enjoyment floating around the pool after a busy day. Great value for the money. Very pleased. Highly recommend. Thanks.

Bought 2 of these floats to take on a trip to Key West. We camp right on the water and like to float around during the day. This was the most comfortable float I've ever had. It seems really sturdy and took very little effort to blow up. Everyone who was with us had float envy and even ordered online while on the trip. Sadly one of them floated away so I ordered another one as soon as I arrived home. didn't want to fight with the hubby on who's gonna get to float! We will see how long they last. I hope a really long time.

We love these using these floats in our pool. The drink holder works great. Easy to inflate and use.

Well,first, I don't consider this to be a "toy". So I cannot give it an educational value. Otherwise, it is a fairly well build water lounger that both my wife and I enjoy throughout the long Florida summers. Great to float and read a good novel while enjoying a beverage. We've had several of these. Their average lifespan is about 2-3 seasons before the lining begins to shred. We now take them out of the pool after use as we suspect the chlorine accelerates their demise. Easy to blow up and hold their air well - rarely have to refill.

This is outstanding. Floats perfectly. Blew it up 5 years ago and I have never had to add air to it. Put it away in the winter and bring it out in the summer

We own both this size and the large size. LOVE these recliners. We like that they keep just enough of the body in the water to stay cool and enough out to get some sun. We have to remember to lay on our stomachs once in awhile to not just get tan on our front side. The recliners are so comfy nobody wants to get out of the pool to get their back sides tan. The cup holders are a bit small for our large vacuum stainless cups, but work great for the waterproof phones. If careful, the pocket is easy to keep dry and from being a mini pool for the phone.Note, a well over 6 foot guy likes the small one and tall girl (me) likes the big one. We'd say size doesn't matter much. I don't like being scrunched up in the small one but tall hubby likes sitting up straighter and that this recliner is narrower, especially in the seat area, than the large one.

We live in an eastern coastal town, with the sound only a 5 minute walk from our house. My fiance had used these in his pool and really liked them. We both have back and neck issues so finding something comfy enough to actually relax in has been a large issue for us! They have held up for 3 summers of the sound! When we come in from floating, we rinse them off and hang them to dry until next time. They have held up even with the grand kids using them! With our physical limitations, they are perfect for relaxing and letting the water hold us up without having to drown from laying too low. While we can only sit in these, we don't care - we feel so good after being in them for a few hours!They have handles on either side and we use a large clip to attach the two floats together so we don't drift apart. I have a baby float that holds our cooler of refreshments attached to the handle on the other side and he bought a jet ski anchor with a 50' length rope that is attached as well so all we have to do is set the anchor near the beach,drift out and relax! My niece jumps at a chance to go "float" with me on her days off! Fiance actually purchased two more this winter when they were on sale! While they have held up well for us "adults", I don't think they are for rough play of the grandkids, though they have made it so far with the smaller ones! My sister has 2 in her pool and the seat has ripped from all the horse play from her kids but I still can sit comfortably in her's, without that falling through feeling.I can't compare these to the quality of the ones in the lower rated opinions, I can say these have been perfect for us, holding up wonderfully. We do rinse them after use and store them out of the sun and they have lasted 3 summers now. For the price - they can't be beat, in my book!
