Construction quality. Cheap floats use thin vinyl that lasts one season. Quality loungers use UV-resistant materials, reinforced seams, and ergonomic designs built for daily use over many summers. The per-use cost of a good lounger is actually lower than replacing cheap floats annually.
Foam for reliability, inflatable for comfort customization. Foam never goes flat, never punctures, but you're stuck with its firmness. Inflatables let you adjust firmness but require maintenance. For primary loungers, foam wins. For occasional use, inflatable saves money.
Most can, but check manufacturer specs. UV-stabilized foam and quality vinyl handle salt fine. Lower-quality plastics can degrade faster in saltwater. Rinse loungers with fresh water after saltwater use regardless—salt crystals can irritate skin and damage materials over time.
Mix one cup white vinegar with one gallon water. Scrub affected areas with soft brush. For stubborn mildew, add a tablespoon of baking soda. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely in sun—UV helps kill remaining spores. Prevent future mildew by always drying before storage.
