SLOOSH Inflatable Tanning Pool Lounger Float – 85" x 57" XL with Pillow, Blue

What it is

The SLOOSH Inflatable Tanning Pool Lounger Float is a large, two-person pool float designed for shared sunbathing and relaxed lounging in backyards, poolsides, or lakefronts. It pairs an expansive surface with a removable pillow and a ribbed air cushion base to create a stable, comfortable platform for lounging with a companion.

Who it’s for

If you enjoy sunbathing with a friend or partner and want a spacious, social float, this model aims to deliver a more connected experience than typical single-person loungers. It’s built for adults who prioritize lounging room, built-in drink holders, and a social setup for gatherings or pool parties.

What stands out

On the surface, the standout features are the oversized 85" L x 57" W footprint, two 3" drink holders, and a wrap-around grab line that helps maintain stability while people move or shift position. The design emphasizes shared lounging rather than solo drifting, which can redefine how you use a pool or beach setup. The float uses a relatively sturdy 0.3mm PVC construction and integrates pad eyes for secure tying, adding a layer of durability for multi-user use.

What to know about fit and use

It’s quite large for a float, so consider your space and how you plan to use it. The removable pillow adds optional neck support, but you’ll want to assess if the size still fits well in your pool or on the water surface. Practical use tips include anchoring the float to keep it nearby during deeper water activities and utilizing the drink holders and grab line to stay comfortable while chatting or adjusting positions.

Pros

• Very large shared surface that accommodates two adults for sunbathing.
• Two built-in drink holders and a wrap-around grab line for social stability.
• Removable pillow offers additional comfort and flexibility.
• Reinforced for shared durability with 0.3mm PVC and pad eyes for secure tying.

Cons / Limitations

• Size may be impractical for smaller pools or tight spaces, and it requires open water or a generous pool area.
• The emphasis on two-person lounging means single users might not get the intended value from the large footprint.
• Quick setup is possible, but inflating and securing a large float takes a bit more time and space than standard loungers.

How it compares to other approaches

If you prioritize social lounging and want a pool float that doubles as a centerpiece for gatherings, this model offers more surface area and built-in social features than typical single-seat loungers. For solo relaxation or compact pool space, a smaller, lighter option might feel more practical.

Practical usage example

Imagine a sunny afternoon with friends in the backyard. Two people spread out on the SLOOSH lounger, sharing a cool breeze and conversations, while drinks rest in the two holders and the wrap-around line keeps everyone secure as the water laps at the sides. It’s less about intense thrills and more about a relaxed, social soak.

Buying decision

Final verdict

It’s worth considering if you want a spacious, social pool float that clearly centers shared use and patio party vibes. If your space is generous, you value drink holders and a stable social platform, and you don’t mind a larger footprint, this XL floats line up well. However, if you’re shopping for solo use, or you have a smaller pool, you might want to look for a more compact option.
