Swimming Pool Loungers

I just want to say one word to you - just one word. Plastics. You may not dive to the bottom of your swimming pool like Benjamin Braddock to contemplate your life. Try staying on the surface instead. Lay back and let the sun kiss your eyelids, let your body conform to the right swimming pool lounger, and while your day away in starlet style.

Inflatable vs. foam swimming pool loungers

Strong arguments can be made in either direction. Inflatable swimming pool loungers, if cleaned and stored properly, may, at most, last two seasons in the pool. They are less expensive than their more deluxe counterparts, but usually have the same comfort features like cup holders and headrests. The downside is that these inflatable chairs are more apt to tip. This is a rude surprise when your skin is toasty warm.

Foam swimming pool loungers typically have a lower center of gravity and don't capsize as readily. Some foam swimming pool loungers have durable nylon covers that can provide a nice sling rest in the water while protecting the core of your chair from the sun. Foam chairs are more comfortable and durable, but they are also more expensive. If cared for properly, these swimming pool loungers could last four or five seasons.

Care and cleaning of swimming pool loungers

Proper care and cleaning is essential to prolonging the life of your swimming pool loungers. If you have an inflatable chair, make sure it is free of dirt and debris before deflating it for the season and storing it away. In the off-season, keep foam swimming pool loungers in an area that stays moderately warm. Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause the foam of swimming pool loungers to go brittle. All types of swimming pool loungers should be kept out of the sun when not in use and periodically rinsed of chlorine.
