What makes the perfect pool day? Plenty of sunshine, plenty of sunblock, and plenty of relaxing. And while you don't necessarily need anything for the latter, there is one thing that can certainly help (besides an ice-cold adult beverage, of course): a pool float. After all, you'll get to soak up some rays and some much-needed R&R at the same time—and look good doing it.
There are tons of adorable floats out there, from the OG swan to an oversized unicorn to an inflatable pizza slice. To help you make the most of your summer, we've rounded up the 5 trendiest pool floats and pool rings you can buy this year.
1. This motorized pool float for when you're feeling super lazy
Why float when you can drive?
One of the major perks of lounging on a pool float is the fact that it requires zero effort. So trying to paddle your way over to the side to grab your drink? Way too much work. Meet the motorized float that lets you zoom around the pool with just the push of a button. Sure, it's more expensive but reviewers say it's well worth the cost for how fun—and effortless—it is to use and all you need is a set of batteries to get it started.
2. This magical unicorn float
Give us unicorn everything, please.
Who said unicorns are just for kids? Certainly not us, because we're in love with this whimsical ride-on pool float from Australian brand SunnyLife. It's exactly what you need for summertime fun, with a rainbow mane, shimmery gold wings and horn, and a 220-pound weight capacity (so two people can easily hop aboard!).
3. This drool-worthy pizza float
Hungry yet?
Can you ever have too much pizza in your life? Correct answer: no. That's why so many people are obsessed with this pizza pool float, complete with a pepperoni and veggie pattern and a crust "pillow." Bonus: Buy a slice for the whole family and you can make the entire pie.
4. These giant angel wings
The bigger the wings, the better.
This could arguably be the most unique pool float you can buy. Why? The float is inspired—and designed—by the artist behind the Global Angel Wings Project (an international street art campaign). And with a wingspan of almost nine feet from tip to tip, you'll most certainly make a statement (or should we say splash) this summer.
5. This floating cabana
For the most luxe lounging time.
If there's one pool float to define summer 2020, it's this ridiculously extra floating cabana from Funboy. Not only does it have a removable shade for when you need a break from the sun but it also has a curved, ergonomic design that's specifically made to provide the most support and comfort while you lounge. Plus, it has built-in cupholders—necessary for your totally cabana-worthy frozen daiquiri, of course.
