Whether you’re hitting the pool or heading to the lake, you want to have a 2 person pool float to get you through the season. It’s really not as much fun to lounge by yourself, so a double pool float allows you to grab a buddy and warm up in the sun. You can do everything from sitting back and having a drink with your feet in the water or you can lay down and just drift away.

Buying Guide

Pool floats have evolved from boring pool noodles and mundane inner floats of yore, to swanky, colorful double pool floats that are ruling the roost on Instagram. Couples are twinning on them. Multiples are basking in the glory together. Besties are giving people a hint of FOMO.

If not floating, people are sitting up, sipping cold beer or reclining in their double recliners on the glassy water surface. With the weather gods shining down upon us this summer, all you need to rev up your pool time is a double pool float.

And here’s some help for first time shoppers.

Double pool floats come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

  • There’s the classic design which allows both users to sit, facing each other with their feet wading in the water.
  • There’s another variety in which both users sit facing the same direction. Loungers allow both users to lie down comfortably.
  • Recliner pool floats or chaises allow the user to sit up and recline. These usually have a cup holder for beverages and a snack tray integrated into it.
  • Baby double pool floats are designed for safety and allow the parents to tuck in the babies in securely. These are typically made of a thicker material and will rarely capsize, get deflated or fray.
  • If the pool isn’t covered, you might want to consider one with a canopy to protect the babies from sun exposure.
  • Lastly, you have the family pool float which is like a large whitewater raft and fits an entire family comfortably. You need a large pool to accommodate one though.

Double pool floats can be foam filled or an inflatable one.

  • The foam filled ones have a core layer of soft foam, with an outer vinyl layer. These are thinner than inflatables and hence allow you to float really close to the water surface. Also, it will stay afloat even if the outer vinyl layer gets punctured.The caveat is that these are heavier and pricier. If you are short of storage space, then these might not be the best of choices.
  • Inflatables are easier to store and carry, inexpensive and available in hundreds of shapes and sizes. However, these will tear and spring a leak from time to time no matter what the manufacturer would like you to believe. Also, you need to invest in an air compressor pump, lest you wish to put your lungs to the test every time you wish to inflate it.

  • PVC or Vinyl is the most commonly used material for making inflatables. There’s been a lot of debate off late about how additives used in PVC are unsafe and toxic. But as of now, the research is blurred and manufacturers aren’t pulling them off the market.
  • TPU or Thermoplastic Polyurethane is considered to be safer than PVC. It is equally durable. But TPU products are available in limited sizes and designs. Also, these are pricier.

Chlorine, the searing summer sun, salt, pool floats have to endure the worst of elements. It’s imperative that you select one that will last for years without tearing or the color fading.
