Giant Inflatable Swan Pool Float – Is it a Good Buy?

You’ve probably seen or heard of the Giant Inflatable Swan pool float. Not only does it make a really comfortable lounger, but it looks pretty cool just floating around the pool.

Do I Think that the Giant Swan Float is a Good Buy?

Because this inflatable pool toy has been on the market a few years, more sellers have entered the market. Therefore, the price has come down quite a bit, making the inflatable swan more affordable. (You can get in under $20 here!)

Not only do kids love it, but adults can sit on it and use this pool lounger as well. In fact, with a capacity of 315 lbs, the swan can hold as many as 2 adults.

That being said, most families can get plenty of use out of their swans. In fact, it may be a good idea to get a few of them so people don’t end up arguing over who gets to use it. =)

In other words, I think that this inflatable chair is well worth $20, especially when compared to other pool toys.

Note: The swan comes in a variety of different colors. However, I wouldn’t recommend getting a black swan because the dark color absorbs heat and can end up feeling quite hot.

How Should You Blow Up Your Inflatable Swan?

Portable Air Pump for Inflating Blow Up ChairsIf you plan on using your swan pool float at home in your backyard, most likely you won’t need to inflate it very often. Therefore, I wouldn’t spend lots of money on an air pump.

However, since this pool lounger has a large air capacity, I wouldn’t suggest blowing it up by mouth. That simply would take too long.

You can get a cheap electric air pump for about $15. Just plug it into an electrical outlet, connect it to your inflatable swan and turn it on.

More Blow-Up Animals You Can Use as Pool Chairs:

Of course, since the inflatable swan came on the market more animal pool floats. In fact, you can buy similarly-sized unicorns, flamingos, peacocks, ducks, dragons and more.

That said, the “original” swan costs less and can save you some money simply because it is more common.



What if My Inflatable Swan Gets a Hole?

Clear Inflatable Patch Kit for Pool SwansI own lots of inflatable sofas, chairs, mattresses, pool rafts and other furniture. Therefore, I always have a patch kit on hand. I mean, you never know when you’ll need one, and they provide a cheap and easy fix to small holes.

This is especially important for inflatable pool toys, because they typically receive more abuse and sun exposure.

Tear-Aid makes a clear vinyl patch kit that doesn’t require any glue because it has adhesive built right into the patch. This $10 no-mess easy solution resists abrasions and can provide a permanent fix to minor punctures.

Problems Solved w/ Intex Inflatable Chaise Lounge

Intex Mega Inflatable Chaise Lounge

Indoor loungers are awesome for watching movies in gaming. In fact, they are more comfortable than more basic chairs and sofas for doing just about anything (sitting down, that is).

One reason for this is that chaise lounge chairs typically have a partially-reclined back. Their casual style promotes relaxation rather than forcing you to sit awkwardly straight upright.

Another reason that an indoor chaise lounge is more comfy is that it provides an elevated area on which you can put your feet. Now you don’t have to find the nearest coffee table and risk kicking over your drink.

But There are Problems…

Indoor lounge chairs get expensive. You can easily pay as much for a 1-person lounge as you would a 3-person sofa. Even the cheapest ones average between $200 and $300. That’s not a way to save money!

These chaise lounges can be bulky and take up lots of space. Yes, the nicer ones are often are super cozy, but you won’t be able to seat many people in the room. Well you can always have your friends sit on the floor, right?

They are also heavy and awkward to move around. Sure, you may not plan on moving your furniture around much, but what if you needed to? Or what if your living room sofa weighed just 10 lbs? Do you think you might re-arrange your furniture more often?

Until an Inflatable Chaise Lounge Solves Those Problems…

Intex Mega Inflatable Chaise Lounge Chair in BlackWhen I first saw the Intex Inflatable Mega Lounge, I did a double take. Was the $30 price tag a misprint? Was the lounger actually smaller than it looked? What was the catch?

I mean, this is a crazy price for a chair, let alone a chaise lounge. OK yes, it is inflatable. I don’t expect it to cost $500 or $1,000.

However, it offers lots of advantages that the more expensive furniture doesn’t. For example, you can pick it up and move it. It weighs less than 8 lbs.

It’s ultra portable. Plus, you can use it outside. In fact, you can deflate it and take it camping or to the beach.

Not to mention, you can carry it from room to room in your house. You can’t easily do that with a regular piece of household furniture.

Inflatable are easy to keep clean. No worrying about spilling or stains or mold. Just take a damp cloth and wipe down any mess and you’re done. No dust mites either.

What About the Shape and Design?

Some people consider the Intex Mega Contoured Chaise Lounge the perfect size. It doesn’t take up too much space in the room, yet it’s large enough to sprawl on and relax.

Approximate inflated size: 32″ wide x 68″ long x 36″ tall

Intex Mega Chaise Lounge Cup HolderThe Mega Lounge really is comfortable. It’s got that partially-reclined back I was talking about before, plus it has a contoured design that sort of sucks you in once you sit down. (I hope you’re not planning on standing up soon).

It has a cup holder. Now you really don’t need a coffee table – for your feet or your drink. Even if you already have a side table that you want to use, a cup holder is the perfect spot to keep a remote control where it won’t get lost.

It is constructed with durable PVC. Although it won’t last forever, it can hold up for several years if you treat it well. Intex makes quality products, and that has been my experience with all of them.

Inflation and Air Pumps:

The lounge inflates in under 2 minutes with a $10 electric air pump. The $30 chair does not include a pump. I actually prefer choosing my air pump instead of getting a furniture + pump package. This lets me spend as much or as little as I want. You may already have an electric air pump and in this case, you won’t have to pay for another one.

If you are like me, you probably will leave your inflatables inflated all the time, rather than deflating them and then blowing them up again. However, if you want to travel with them or only use them occasionally, it’s good to know that inflation is not a lot of work.

Intex Contoured Mega Lounge Specs:

  • Dimensions: 32 x 68 x 36 inches
  • Weight: 7.7 pounds
  • Weight capacity: 220 lbs.
  • 2-in-1 inflation valve
  • Material: PVC and PET

Relax Anywhere on an Inflatable Lounge

There is no shortage of style, so you can mix and match them to suit your personality or fit in with your patio decor.

Camouflage Inflatable Lounger:

I’m a big fan of camouflage, and they make one of these loungers that is perfect for camping. With the camo pattern, you don’t have to worry about getting it dirty.

Use it as a sleeping mattress as night, a campfire sofa during the day and a river float for more recreational fun. Then simply deflate it and pack it up in a small backpack and carry it with you (folds to 13″ x 7″ x 3.5″ and fits in its own carrying bag with shoulder strap). You’ll find that you’ll end up packing less gear, and it only weighs 3 lbs!
