11 Over-The-Top Pool Floats That Will End Your Pandemic Blues
It's summer, it's hot, and that means those of us who have access to pools are suiting up for days spent floating in the sunshine. Whether you're attempting to DIY a luxury pool or are heading for a pool near you (or, perhaps, the beach), there's one purchase you're probably making: a pool float. From the massive and funky to the sleek and timeless, pool floats are far from a thing of the past.
In fact, research shows that demand has only increased for pool floats, with the pool floats market valued in the billions as of this year. Companies like Funboy and Intex are dominating the market, and while pool floats for kids do tend to be a bit more popular, adults are clearly making the investment into floats of our own. And rightfully so after the year we've had.
If you're in the market for a fun, over-the-top pool float, we found some of our favorites so you can finally land that FOMO-worthy summer Instagram photo.
