This and last summer we had the opportunity to test the Big Joe Pool Floats in our pool. So, after two years of use, we have become real fans! There are many options to choose from when buying pool floats. If you’re not a big fan of vinyl inflatables and want a comfortable alternative to a bean bag, Big Joe makes some of the most comfortable pool floats around.
The Big Joe Pool Floats are easy to clean, will not fade in direct sunlight, and look great after two seasons of use and storage. We purchased our first collection of Big Joe floats in the early summer of 2021. After using these floats all summer long, it was clear that they weren’t sagging or starting to show signs of stress from being tossed back and forth. swimming pool. This was a relief as some other bean bag floats we have used in the past tended to “fail” after about a month or so.
One of the most comfortable pool floats we’ve tried and made it to this list of the top 40 pool floats for summer. Absolutely great in the pool and definitely our favorite of all the Big Joe floats. At less than $75, this is a great value.
Big Joe’s Lazy Lounger has been used extensively at our pool this past and this summer. In addition, this durable float keeps well after storage. Colors do not fade and remain vibrant season after season. Lazy Lounger is available in various colors and patterns.
Besides Captain’s Float, one of my favorites is the Big Joe Roma Float. The sturdy back and convenient cup holder with convenient top and bottom handles make this float easy to fold up and take to the beach or lake.
We have added several Kona floats to our collection. These comfortable and roomy floating mattresses are perfect for lying and sleeping on the water. We love their durability and they are also perfect for swimming for our dogs. If you’ve ever taken your dog in a pool, you know how hard it is for them to swim in the pool. The Big Joe Kona Float is perfect for them. (below are two different styles we chose – fluffy blue and faded sea green striped)
The Big Joe Noodle Sling comes in two different styles, the Blurred Blue variant is similar to the style below but matches with another collection. We added a few of these for our guests and when family and friends came they were quickly sold out.
The red and blue variant of Big Joe’s Noodle Sling is very similar to the fuzzy blue variant, with the exception of double cup holders on each armrest and a deeper lounge seat. This is a great addition that makes the Noodle Sling a lakeside and beach favorite.
At the end of the season, we store floats along with pillows, pool noodles, toys and vinyl inflatables for our guests. We bought a brand new container last year to store all the extra floats and it does a great job of keeping the floats out of sight when not in use and also protecting them from the weather. That’s why we highly recommend the Suncast 99 Gallon Resin Wicker Patio Open Storage Box for all your pool toys and accessories.
This summer we are back with the Big Joe Pool Floats collection with some new additions. At the end of last summer we saw the new Petz collection and couldn’t wait to try it out in the pool. We must say, we have never seen the children in our family run so frantically to their favorite swimming pool. The Big Joe Pool Petz is often the first to sell out, the longest fought for and most likely to be named after a child. Again, the floats performed so well in the summer that we were pleasantly surprised at how well they functioned as real pool floats, rather than toys.
This fun crab-shaped float from the new Petz collection makes it fun to play in and out of the water. The UV-resistant material withstands the sun’s rays perfectly and does not fade all summer long.
This adorable frog-shaped pool float is a hit with young children. Kids will love this fun character and it’s perfect as a poolside lawn cushion.
The cutest float in the Petz collection is without a doubt the Big Joe Polar Bear Float. The float is big enough for little kids to ride in the pool, which the little ones in our house really enjoyed.
This cute and friendly alligator makes a great addition to the pool as well as a fun and affordable float for kids. Incredible attention to detail and quality fabrics are also rare in children’s pool floats.
Filled with beans, this adorable seal-shaped float will make a splash at your next pool party. With its unique shape and design, it will keep little ones entertained in the pool and also makes a great pool chair.
Overall, we are very pleased with the comfort and quality offered by the Big Joe Pool Float Collection and we think you will be too. If you’ve been looking for a comfortable float that won’t hit your wallet and look good season after season, Big Joe has got you covered. After testing a range of lounge chairs and pool floats, we can tell you without hesitation that Big Joe is one of the best pool floats on the market.
