Ordered two of these floats and one was defective. I had to return it to the store and get my refund. I really wanted the float but when I went to reorder it was sold out.

This smells so bad!! I have it so far away from the house but the second you walk outside, you can smell it. It smells like tar! Even after weeks of being outside it still smells awful! What is it made of??

Unable to use the float due to the horrific fumes. Everyone in the pool could smell it. I let it air out for several weeks but the smell is still toxic.

Extremely well made and very sturdy, but we have had them for years and they still smell awful and cause headaches. I bought them in-store, and would return them if I could locate the receipt.

Purchased two floats for our pool. Was excited to not have to blow up floats all of the time. That happiness lasted less than a day. Both floats ended up with tears. Wasted a lot of money for nothing.

The smell is unbearable. I’ve tried. Left out to air and in water. Smells like oil and tire. Feels fantastic but yikes. Nobody wants it anywhere near them. Chokes you!!

This float looks great and would love to be able to use it in my pool but the chemical smell is overwhelming…makes you half sick…I’ve had it for a year and it still is no better …haven’t been able to use it once. Received 8-21-2025 :(

I have purchased a number of different brands of these closed cell foam floats. I thought that I would give these a try. I ordered 2. They arrived with bubbles, holes, & missed spots in the coating they're dipped in. Once the first crack or breach in the coating on these... it's all down hill from there. I'll be returning these. If the quality of the coating was better, I would say these were a great deal. But these should never have made it past quality control. For those who complain about the smell... these type floats ALWAYS stink for the first few weeks of use. It's unavoidable, considering what they're made of.

We purchased this about a week ago, and returned it today. The pros, it is a solid, large float. Came well packaged. It had a chemical smell, which is to be expected on new memory foam. What was surprising is that although we aired it out on a deck box, in the sun all day, flipping it over most evenings, the odor only increased. We smelt it from the pool, a couple of yards away. As our child has sensitive skin (and frankly, due to the country of manufacture, you know what I am talking about), we decided to return it.

Gave three stars because it does what it says it’s supposed to do. However, there’s already a small crack in it, exposing foam so not sure how long it will last. It also gets hot to the touch so splashing it with water is a must so you don’t get burned.
