Swimline Ultimate Super-Sized Floating Mattress

Love these heavy Canvas products. This brand is awesome, no more punctures on the river because you bumped a tree branch or scrapped over rocks. These things take a ton of abuse and just keep going. I’m 6’2” at 180 lbs and it worked fine for me, when a buddy 6’7” 240 lbs used it we just stuffed in a few pool noodle cut in half and away he went. I modded mine a bit by stitching on 2 loops to allow me to tow or be towed. This is my 5th purchase from this brand. Started with 1 tube which soon turned to two then 4 tubes. Now added the floating bed to mu collection. Now I feel like I’m running river tours as all my friends want to go with me and the unsinkable floaties. Go Buy one you won’t regret it !!

I was looking for a larger sized float for sunbathing in my pool and this had pretty good reviews. It's a good size and I like the outer covering. The only thing I'm not happy with is that the actual float part doesn't hold air especially well and it's really difficult to inflate. Meaning when it gets low on air (every 24 hours or so), you have to open the case, deflate the pillow, pull the float out a little, inflate it, squeeze it back into the case, then inflate the pillow again. This should be a better quality float for this price. Regarding the case filling up with water and people saying it was too heavy to lift out of the pool. If you tilt it up, the water just drains out of the zippered end. UPDATE: 9/21/2017 Even though I have had to reinflate it quite a bit, I've decided that it's still my favorite float. It's been left outside in Florida every day for over a year and it's just finally getting too worn to use. I'm buying a second one. Update April 16, 2025 The quality in these has drastically been reduced. My first one lasted me several years (although I had to reinflate it quite a bit). Subsequent ones lasted maybe six months. The most recent one literally last lasted two months. The reason I gave two stars when I wanted to give zero is because it’s still my favorite float. I love the outside covering and the size of it. However, for what I paid, it should last a lot longer. It’s a shame how much the quality has gone down. It’s just not worth it to replace it every couple of months. UPDATE 8/2025- OK, so this is no longer my favorite pool float. The quality has gotten terrible. I believe this is the sixth one that I’ve purchased. They used to deflate a little, but I just dealt with it. I purchased one in April or May and it had a leak from the gecko. I realized it and had it replaced right away. The replacement came in while I was traveling. I just got back and took the brand new one out of the box. Not only was it assembled incorrectly (the inflatable part was reversed inside the cover, so I couldn’t access the plug, so I had to undo all the little clips that hold it to the cover and flip it over, similar to a duvet cover), but… Once I inflated it, there was already a leak. I don’t know what happened to the quality of these, but I won’t be purchasing them anymore.

Air mattress leaked upon initial inflation so returned it the next day. What is not obvious from the description is that there is a very well made, durable nylon outer sleeve covering a thin inner vinyl liner. The inner liner has 2 valves of the type used for cheap dollar store beach balls making filling and deflating a major pain. Surprising for such an expensive air mattress. I was a little curious reading in another review how pleased the writer was that it didn't blow out of the pool in strong winds. Huh? Turns out this is because the outer sleeve fills with water and lifting it out of the pool requires a feat of strength. Definitely not what I was expecting...as I said...disappointing.

Hands down the most comfortable floatie I've ever owned and the most stable to get on or off of without dumping yourself into the water. I went through 3 Wal-Mart cheapos the first week of swim season when I decided enough is enough! Ordered this one and now everyone wants to use it. The hubs is 6'4", 270 lbs and he's perfectly comfortable on it as well. The only drawback is that it won't stay fully aired but that is actually okay because it makes it more comfy. I will say I had a hard time using the electric pump to blow it up because for some reason there's a weird combo of holding the inflator valve and the air pump hose just right. Don't get me started on trying to blow it up with your lungs. It is indeed an "air mattress" and a pump is necessary unless you want to pass out in the 30-45 minutes it takes to do it the old fashioned way. However, all that aside, it is a great float. It doesn't get hot to the touch and works like a charm to lay on your stomach as well as your back because the pillow is just right to lay across, arms out & face down without it touching the water but yet still able to relax and breathe well. **update 8/18/15 - Our daughter's dog LOVES this float. He always wants to get on it with me when I'm in the pool. His nails don't puncture it (it's held up well to him walking/standing on it) and as you can see, he thinks he's a surfer. The only thing it has not held up to is being a chew toy for him. I came out the other day and evidently he caught it when it was on the tanning shelf of the pool and decided to drag it out to sleep on it. It had several bite marks that punctured it, so in the trash it went. Guess I'm in the market to buy a new one! This time I'll keep it put up away from him when I'm not outside. ;)

Très bien bonne qualité
