The Best Pool Floats Ever: A Complete Guide
Nothing says peak summer like floating in the pool, sun on your face, drink in hand, doing absolutely nothing. It’s that perfect mix of chill and living your best life — where the biggest decision of the day is which float to claim as your personal throne.
But let’s be real: not all floats are built for the moment. Some are flimsy, boring, or just plain uncomfortable, while others? They make the moment.
At FUNBOY, we know a great pool float isn’t just something you float on — it’s a must-have. So, if you’re ready to level up your float game, keep reading. We’re breaking down the best of the best so you can hit the water like you own the place.
Best Pool Floats for Relaxation
Looking for a float that lets you kick back properly? Not one that awkwardly dumps you in the water every time you move or leaves you bobbing around like a pool noodle in a storm. If you’re going to do relaxation, do it right.
These floats are designed for maximum lounging, keeping you cool, comfortable, and looking effortlessly unbothered all summer long:
Clear Rainbow Chaise Lounger
Sunbathing? Floating? Vibing? Check, check, and check. The Clear Rainbow Chaise Lounger is built for full-body lounging, keeping you perfectly positioned above the water while that dreamy ombré effect makes it look like you’re floating on pure sunshine. No awkward balancing acts, no uncomfortable angles — just you, stretched out in all your poolside glory.
Mesh Heart Water Hammock
If floating on the water is good, floating in the water is next-level. Enter the Mesh Heart Water Hammock — oversized, ultra-chill, and made for two. The mesh bottom keeps you cool without fully submerging, while the light pink, see-through material blends perfectly with the water. It’s like floating on a pastel daydream, minus the effort.
Fabric Sunbed Loungers
Relaxation, but make it iconic. Step up your lake game with our Luxury Fabric Loungers.
Wrapped in premium, comfy fabric that’s perfect for the water, these loungers are lightweight and a breeze to pack. Kick back, soak up the sun, and enjoy the lake life in style. It’s like having a floating bed of luxury — just what every water lover needs!
Pro Tip: Keep the pink vibes going with our Pink Striped Cabana Beach Towel because being effortlessly coordinated is always a flex.
Best Pool Floats for Fun & Aesthetic
Done with “me time” and ready to turn the pool into an all-out spectacle? These floats aren’t just fun — they’re statement pieces.
Floating Cabana Bar
Our Floating Cabana Bar is an undeniable must-bring on any poolside trip. Float your way around the pool with a portable party hub right there with you. It's like having your own floating boardwalk of tasty refreshments. Range it with ice, drinks, or any summer treat — in or out of the water. It's the ultimate accessory to dial up your shenanigans.
Vintage Striped Tubes
Our Vintage Striped Tubes are a go-to move this summer. Featuring a built-in drink holder and a lightweight 2-pound construction, this timeless float is perfect for poolside lounging, beach getaways, and all your sun-filled adventures.
Bring those throwback vibes with classic striped tubes, for kids and adults.
Novelty Floats
Our novelty floats will blow you out of the water (hopefully not literally).
Magical? Check. Sparkly? Of course. Completely necessary? Absolutely. The Clear Pink Glitter Unicorn isn’t just a pool float — it’s a whole summer mood.
The translucent pink material catches the light perfectly, while the glitter-filled design adds just the right amount of shimmer. Plus, it’s got a re-engineered base for stability, meaning you can actually catch some rays instead of fighting to stay upright.
Classics never go out of style, but they do get upgrades. Our Metallic Pink Swan Float takes the timeless swan design and gives it a sleek, shimmery makeover that’s anything but basic.
At 60 inches, it’s built for stretching out in style, and the curved swan neck adds just the right amount of drama. Also available in original white and clear blue, but if you want to turn heads, pink is the move.
And why fly commercial when you can fly fabulous? The Airplane Pool Float is pure jet-set energy, turning your pool into a runway for the bold and the boujee. With sleek metallic gold and baby blue details, it’s serving retro vacation vibes in all the right ways.
Hotwheels? Check. Barbie? Check.
Why not make your pool party that much better with inflatable decor? Roll it out with our epic Hot Wheels Inflatable collection. Your kids will go nuts for our Hot Wheels Surfboards and Hot Wheels Tubes.
And if you are a diehard Barbie fan (who isn’t?), check out our Barbie collection. From the Barbie Pool Lounger to the Giant Barbie Golf Cart Float, your party will be the talk of the town. We truly have it all.
Best Pool Floats for Socializing & Parties
Some floats are for solo relaxation and some? They’re built for the whole crew. If your idea of a perfect pool day includes good company, a steady flow of drinks, and zero interruptions, you need a float that keeps the party going.
Leisure Island
Why fight for pool space when you can claim your own floating kingdom? At 7.5 feet across, the Leisure Island is basically a VIP section for the water, giving you a dry, sturdy platform to lounge like a legend.
The removable backrest means you can sit up for sun-soaked conversations or fully recline for a midday nap that feels borderline luxurious. And thanks to next-gen drop-stitch tech, this thing is so insanely durable you could almost host a dance party on it.
Giant Cabana Dayclub
If our Cabana Dayclub were any bigger, you’d need a guest list to get in. Designed for four, it’s got everything — a removable mesh shade, dual foot baths to keep you cool, and a built-in storage compartment for drinks or a speaker.
The water entry pad means you can slide in and out without the awkward scramble, and with side grab ropes, eight handles, and a tether rope, it stays exactly where you want it. Whether you're hosting an all-day float session or just need a prime spot to sip and socialize, this is your go-to for next-level lounging.
Country Club Golf Cart Float
Pool party? Consider this your front-row parking spot. The Country Club Golf Cart Float is the ultimate plus-one for any social swim session, built for two and loaded with everything you need to keep the good times rolling.
A fringe-lined removable mesh shade keeps you cool while you sip and chat, and dual cup holders ensure your drinks stay put — because no one likes a poolside spill. Perfect for floating, gossiping, or just looking effortlessly cool, this float is pure country club luxury — minus the dress code.
Best Pool Floats for Kids & Families
Got kids on your hands? These floats are built for fun, adventure, and keeping little ones entertained long enough for you to maybe, just maybe, sneak in a minute of relaxation.

A pool float with built-in defense mode? Say hello to the Hot Wheels Sharkruiser™ Float, where kids rule the water with a fully integrated water squirter that guarantees splash battles on demand. It’s big, bold, and just the right amount of ridiculous — perfect for backyard pool parties, summer showdowns, and any kid who takes their floating very seriously.
Kids Vintage Tube Float
Not every float needs to be wild to make a splash. Our Vintage Tube Float keeps it simple — in the best way possible. With classic sage green stripes and a just-right size, it’s perfect for kids who want to float, spin, and splash without getting swallowed by an oversized inflatable. It’s lightweight, easy to pack, and built for all-day play, from the backyard pool to the beach. What’s not to love?
Best Pool Floats for Tanning
Tanning is an art — too much movement, and you get streaks. Too much water, and you’re just swimming. The trick? Stay cool while keeping prime sun exposure, and that’s exactly what these floats do.
Tanning Pool Lounger
Serious about your tan? Then your float should be too. Our Tanning Pool Lounger is the ultimate tanning setup, keeping just enough water around you to stay cool without messing with your glow. No overheating, no surprise splashes — just seamless, uninterrupted sun-soaking from the best seat in the pool.
And when you want to mix things up? Pair it with the Luxe Fabric Sunbed Lounger for a full tanning rotation — sun-drenched relaxation on one, effortless cooldown on the other. Because if you’re gonna tan, you might as well do it like a pro.
Leisure Chair Pool Float
Tanning, but make it effortless. The Leisure Chair Pool Float keeps you perfectly reclined — toes in the water, sun on your face, book in hand, drink within reach.
It’s designed for laid-back lounging while still keeping you in the conversation (because socializing shouldn't require sitting up). Whether you’re catching rays, flipping pages, or just pretending to listen to your friend’s latest poolside monologue, this float cradles you in pure comfort.
Best Pool Floats for Adults
There’s something magical about being an adult in a pool. No responsibilities, no emails, just you, the water, and the absolute certainty that floating counts as a productive activity. The only question? How do you want to do it?
Some floats are built for full-body relaxation, some for turning heads, and some? They’re just here to make sure your drink is never out of reach. Whatever your poolside agenda, these are the best floats designed for grown-ups who take their leisure seriously.
Speed Boat Float
Ever wanted to captain your own luxury yacht but without the hassle of, you know, actually owning a yacht? Our Speed Boat Pool Float is here to make that dream a reality — minus the maintenance fees.
Inspired by the Barbie™ movie, this oversized stunner (we’re talking over nine feet long) gives you and a lucky co-captain a first-class ticket to Barbie Land. Stretch out on the built-in daybed, sip something fabulous, and cruise through summer like you belong on the cover of a magazine. No boating license required.
