The best pool floats for all ages

Big Joe's Lazy Lounger — made with a headrest, footrest and cup holder — is another convenient, non-inflatable float that commands a presence wherever it goes. A double-sided mesh and quick-draining fabric add to its breathability, and the buoyant, bean-filled fabric is about as plush as it gets. There is also a handle for easy carrying.

Look on the bright side with these neon chair floats from Intex, which are small enough for the average home or hotel pool and allow for a flexible, leisurely soak. The wavy pockets along the seat fill with water for staying cool, while a cup holder and handles offer added convenience and control. The compact size and accessible price point make them especially great for group trips and unexpected guests.

Defy gravity in this top-rated Zero Gravity Chair Float from Aqua, featuring a mesh insert and 3D AirMesh Fabric Cover for added breathability and quick-drying appeal. The backrest and seat can also be adjusted with the ease of a click for customizable comfort.

Aqua’s Campania lounger — which has over 8,000 perfect reviews — offers a full-length, adjustable backrest for adequate support whether you’re looking to take in the views or recline and unwind. Use the built-in cup holder for quick sips, or sync up the attachable caddy to create your own private mini bar.

This No. 1 bestselling, vacation-friendly water hammock from Aqua has over 42,000 perfect ratings for its classic design (in seven cabana-stripe shades), relaxed style (also recommended for seniors and expectant mothers) and versatility (read: endless relaxation opportunities). Rely on it as a hammock, lounger, drifter and exercise saddle in one — it deflates quickly and comes with a small pouch for easy packing or stashing when you’re done!

Say goodbye to flimsy foam noodles and say hello to this bestselling Noodle Sling from Big Joe. It’s become a grownup pool staple for its buoyant bean filling, padded design and quick setup — no inflation required! An attached seat with a built-in cup holder offers additional support, while a quick-drying mesh fabric makes storage a breeze. Available in a range of patterns.

Ground yourself in serenity with this top-rated lounger from SwimWays, designed with a soft mesh interior for keeping your body just below the water’s surface — and cool for hours at a time. A patented innerspring is sewn into the outer rim for added stability, while a custom Hyper-Flate Valve allows you to inflate and deflate quickly. Carrying bag included.

For full-body immersion, consider SwimWays’ Original Pool Lounge Chair, offering the same features we love in the Papasan, with room to elongate your legs when you need to stretch. It still folds up easily despite its longer, 69-inch frame, making it ideal for traveling.

SwimWays' recliner has all the bells and whistles featured in the brand's floats, above, with the added benefit and comfort of a head-, back- and footrest (it’s essentially like a water-friendly ottoman). A built-in cup holder helps keep cold drinks close.

Add a pop of pattern with Qakshy’s playful tube assortment. The swim ring is made of durable materials, while the double airbag design helps safeguard against tipping and flipping. You can choose between adult and teen sizes for the perfect fit, and each comes in a set of two. (With coordinating prints and a $12.50 price tag, it’s basically a mix-and-matcher’s paradise.)

For added support, consider this roomy, top-rated tube from Opau. The durable, ergonomic design boasts a built-in backrest for sitting upright and the durable fabric — available in four color combos — is fade-resistant for lasting style. Size recommended for adults and teens.

For a real lap of luxury, consider this inflatable from Intex, beloved by Yahoo editors and over 11,000 Amazon reviewers who can’t get enough of its durable vinyl construction and ultra-supportive recliner design. Heavy-duty handles make for easy maneuvering, while dual cup holders mean double the hydration.

Intex’s Canopy Island – another Yahoo editor favorite – allows you to create your own restful (or party) retreat. A detachable fabric sun shade provides extra privacy and a veil of protection during sunny peaks, while two cup holders keep libations within reach. There's never been a better time to indulge.
