You can also hang your towel and other items from the supporting arm. It is designed to support a person weighing up to 250 pounds.

3. Aqua 4-in-1 Monterey Hammock Supreme XL

If you want a hammock for a seriously great price that soaks up sunshine like a sponge, look no further.
This hammock has “just enough stretch” to accommodate even the most active of us with no effort at all.
What do we love most? Its versatility allows you to switch up the seating arrangements from the traditional hammock to a laid-back lounge chair to a chair/bed setup .
4. Floating Recliner Inflatable Lounge

- Float It On Its Own
- Attach It to a Raft
- Perfect for the Lakes or Ocean
- Comes With Backrest
- Comes With Seat Cushion
- Available in a Variety of Colors
- Easy to Set Up
Cons:
- Reportedly Leaks Over Time

- Some People Jam Their Shins Into The Joiner When Leaning Back
The inflatable floating lounge chair by Intex is a great floating seat you can put in the water by itself or attach it to another floating device if you want to make a raft.
This floating chair has a backrest and comes with a seat cushion that are secured tightly into place with straps so you don’t have to worry about them coming loose and drifting off while you are floating. This chair is designed to last with easy to clean PVC materials and has plenty of storage room for your personal belongings.
It is possible to get a puncture if you accidentally run over something really sharp but your Intex lounge comes with a patch. If you prefer to make you lounge a chair you can use the storage space and strap your lounge chair to your raft with the two included straps.
5. Aqua Premium Convertible Pool Lounger
Pros:
- Very Pretty
- Durable
- Value for Money
- Fully equipped with back rest, cup holder….
Cons:
- It is made from PVC material and may blow away when outside
- It takes a bit long to inflate after unpacking
The Aqua Premium Inflatable Pool Float is a multipurpose device that you can use as a floating chair or lounge. You can even use it as a seat while fishing as well. Its multi functions make it the best buy for pool loungers as the lounger can be used for various purposes.
The Aqua Premium Pool Lounger is equipped with a backrest and is very comfortable when you want to have a cool dip in your pool. The price is also reasonable.
6. Poolmaster Swimming Pool Floating Chaise Lounge
Pros:
- Very comfortable
- Perfect for hot days
- Relatively easy to get in and out of
- Excellent quality
- Not too large
- Very reasonable price
- Weighs a little over one pound
Cons:
- Can be hard to keep in specific spot
- Chaise is hard plastic
- Doesn’t support a lot of weight
The Poolmaster Chaise is an excellent choice for individuals looking to enjoy their time in the pool; the design makes it easy to get in and out of something that has definitely been thoughtfully made.
Sitting on it doesn’t feel like you’re sitting on a hard plastic chair; in fact, it feels like you’re actually sitting on the pool floor itself. If you’re looking for a lounge for yourself and a friend, I’d suggest looking for another to satisfy that need (not that the size of the poolmaster can’t accomodate two people).
However, if you’re looking for something for yourself, you could easily see this lasting you quite a while.
7. SwimWays Spring Float Recliner
Pros:
- Comes in a variety of colors
- Cup holders
- Backrest reclines into an ultra comfy lounger position for your head and neck
- Has multiple air chambers for additional flotation and safety
As an avid swimmer I have owned several pool floats over the years and this is by far my favorite. This is a great pool float to bring to a lake, pool or beach and is good for adults, teens, kids and toddlers.
Over the years I have gone through pool tubes, inflatable loungers and more. I love the fact that the Spring Float comes standard with cup holders and integrated straps so you can pack it up if you want.
Conclusion
Pool loungers can provide the relaxation you want to enjoy a hot summer day. However, they come in a variety of styles, colors, and dimensions, which can make it hard to choose the right one. So we have done a lot of testing and research to help you pick the best pool loungers for your family.
