SwimWays Spring Float Recliner XL - Extra Large Swim Lounger for Pool or Lake

My husband and I are tall, so these XL floatation loungers are awesome and fit us very well. We secure them together with a stainless steel clip as we float side by side. We actually fall asleep while floating in these loungers; they are very comfortable! These are the best flotation loungers we have ever purchased. We now have 5 of them so our grandchildren or friends can join us. They are very much worth every penny!

I was looking for a pool float that would be sturdy enough for a 250+ lb person over 6' tall. I also wanted to be partially in the water to stay cool in a sitting position. After doing some homework, I settled on the XL size of this float and was very satisfied with it.The fabric texture that covers the float is much more comfortable than regular plastic that can stick to you. It also makes it feel much more durable. Also, the backrest is nice and sturdy. I found it easy to adjust to either a more or less upright position by adjusting how far back or forward I sat in the mesh seat.A couple of things could be better. First, the cup holder was usable for a bottle, however a cup or can would likely get submerged as you move around or others create waves in the pool. I was fine just settling a beverage on top of the armrest. Second, the footrest portion was a little useless. I found that whether I put my legs on top of the float or let them hang, natural buoyancy made both positions very similar. Not having it would make getting into and out of the float easier and probably a lot cheaper. Maybe offer one with and one without.I would definitely buy this again.

I have owned 4 of these over the past 3-4 years. These are without a doubt my favorite floats because they fold flat & small, are easy to inflate without a pump, are good for couples and last more than the typical year or two for most floats.PROS:Portability: These are PERFECT for a boat !! Also good for for travel given how small they fold up. I usually take two boating and they are great. They stow under a seat and have not failed despite being abused they way boaters will treat them. Many others in my boat club have the same ones give their size and ease of inflation.Inflation: Reviewers mention using a pump but I have never had the need. This larger float took a minute more of blowing but as with the smaller ones, easily inflated without getting light headed. Probably has half the air volume of most flat floats.2 People: Yep...one sits in the seat and one uses the open area like an inner-tube. Face-to-face...nice and romantic!Durability: After 2 or 3 years, the floats show wear and deterioration on the nylon skin and stiching. I have not had a leak yet, though I have expected one. I seem to lose them before they fail.CONS:Price: at this price, these are probably not disposable floats for most people. I used to go to resorts and just leave the inflatables behind. You will probably want to pack this one back up and take it home. And it NEVER is smaller than when you first get it.No Bag: The smaller versions have a carry bag. The big one does not...just a loose loop-strap which is NOT attached and you will absolutely lose after 2 or 3 uses. The good news is that the smaller float's bag also fits the larger float!! YAY!!2 Bladders: This larger model only has 2 air chambers for flotation. The smaller version has 3. No idea why, but I view this as a design mistake. I like that 3 independent chambers since one seems to always come unplugged and leak a bit.Chlorine: Yes... it will rot from chlorine Most fabric floats will. I don't use mine in a pool, so that is not an issue for me, but if you want a chlorine-proof float, go with one that is all plastic (fabric or closed cell foam) and not lightweight nylon.Cup Holder: My first two models (pre-2015) had a different design and the cup holder worked well. The last two (purchased in 2016) have a totally useless cup holder. The weight of the person in the float causes the drink to now pop out. It used to work just fine... no longer...another design flaw.All in all, these are the best floats I have found for my purposes.

I was not aware of the no-return policy - my fault for not reading carefully. But be aware of that. Good pool chair tho a little pricey.

I bought two, one for me and one for hubby and we both love sitting in these and floating around the pool. We bought them at the start of pool season last year and we'll be using them again this year. Granted, the fabric covering is a bit faded and beginning to fray a bit, but it protects the vinyl and makes these very durable.Update: the mesh fabric gave way on these, but we still purchased two more along with two floating hammocks and a floating cooler by SwimWays. I have to say that for the money, these are a worthwhile purchase even if the mesh fabric seat is rather lightweight. Overall, the inflatable vinyl is well protected by fabric and keeps the floats from popping. We live in Phoenix so the sun, rocks and cactus can do your inflatable stuff in quickly. We got a whole season out of the last two, with pretty much leaving them outside by or in the pool the whole season. This year we'll take better care and put them in the pool shed to protect them from the sun and elements.On a side note, I just inflated the cooler. My plastic (no glass in the pool!) margarita pitcher fits nicely in there and I'm getting ready to hook it to the recliner so I won't have to leave the pool to refresh my drink! :-)

We have been using another manufacturers double tube which we loved but it is large, cumbersome and you must have a compressor to inflate. We tried several other smaller inflatables and were left with disappointment. This XL recliner is easy to inflate, has held air every time, super easy to get into at any depth and is the most comfortable device like this we have ever had. We've used some para-cord and two carabiners and fashioned a fastener to hook between the side loops to keep us together. And then when you deflate it, it folds back up to a small disc.We do have two suggestions, the cup holder works well... wondering if there a way to build a larger pocket on the other side that a person could put a cell phone in in a waterproof bag or in our case our waterproof phone itself. Also, consider building in some cloth loops to the top of the headrest like the ones on the side, perfect place to hang a small Bluetooth speaker from .

Muy útil para la alberca.

We love the lounger but I am slim and find this XL is too wide for me. So my husband gets this one and I have ordered the classic for me. The XL is too wide to support my arms while reading. Hopefully the classic is better. But it is extremely durable, easy to inflate and very comfortable. I also like that it has a handle on the side to hang it up.

Purchased this as we have an above ground pool. It was easy to inflate and is light weight but holds a person up to 200lbs. I would have gave it a higher rating but when I received it, part of it was torn where you rest your feet which allows water in so before I take it out of the pool, I have to make sure I pour out the water. Comfortable and like that you can still sun tan and be in the water.

I got this to take to a resort to use in the pools since most of these that the resort might have handy would probably be too small for me. It was light and packs down pretty good and I was glad to have it.Note: this will support your head should you not be overly tall. If you are looking for one of these watch where the models' heads are in the pictures - if they are sitting in it but holding their head up, you'll be holding yours up. OK if you will use it chatting with others but not so great if you want to relax in it. This one you can relax in with your head resting on the back. Even if you think this is "too big" being the XL version, it might still be better that the reg sized one just for that.

This thing is awesome, but don't use a compressor. This is by far the most comfortable swim toy lounger that i have ever used, On day two I mistakenly allowed a tour operator to inflate it though and they popped the inflatable bladder on the foot rest. It was my mistake because I knew it was easy to inflate by mouth and even though I told them it was a very small bladder and would fill very very fast they still over inflated it and popped it. Even with that though it works great - and i am a big guy at 260lbs i don't think i need the XL. Will buy another but it will be the regular not the xl.
