9 Inflatable Pools That Will Keep You Cool This Summer

Buy from Amazon, $84.99

Why lounge by the pool, when you can lounge in the pool? Based on the over 7,500 five-star Amazon ratings, this inflatable pool by Intex is a surefire crowd pleaser, and it’s easy to see why. Adults and kids alike will enjoy sitting on one of the four built-in corner seats, while the middle of the pool provides ample space for splishing and splashing. For added luxury, there are two drink holders (get those margaritas ready!) and backrests, so you can keep cool in comfort.

Happy customer: “I cannot stress enough how wonderful this pool is. I live in south Florida and it is hot alllll the time. We have a great backyard but we’re stuck indoors between 10:30am and about 4pm in the summer due to the heat. My son has kiddie pools and would invite me in, but of course adults don’t fit in kiddie pools — until this! This pool is the right size for my family of 3, 2 adults and a 2 year-old. It could easily fit another pair of adults or children. My son is active and he has room to splash around and shoot water guns while my husband and I relax comfortably … The seats are comfortable and sturdy enough when full of air. I can use one seat as a pillow and lay out comfortably as well … I highly recommend you give this a try. Great way to cool off for both children and adults! I hate that I didn’t buy this sooner!”

This large inflatable pool by Sable will keep the whole family cool! Able to hold two adults plus four kids, it’s sturdy enough to withstand hours of splashing — and with its think, durable, stable construction, you won’t have to worry about leaking and tearing. Did someone say, “water fight?”

Happy customer: “This pool is awesome! I can’t afford my own backyard pool, and this makes it much easier to get through the Arizona summer heat. We’ve only had it up for the weekend, but so far it seems much more sturdy than previous inflatable pools. There were only two adults in it, but we had lots of room to spare. I’m sure it would hold four adults comfortably. We used an electric air pump and it only took about 10 minutes (or less) to inflate.”

If you want something a step above your ordinary inflatable pool, the Intex Easy Set is for you. Yes, it’s on the higher end of the price range, but all you need to do to fill it up is hook it to your garden hose, and the the built-in filter keeps water clean. With enough room to accommodate up to four people, it’s the next-best thing to an in-ground pool (and the over 4,000 Amazon customers who gave it a five-star rating agree!).

Happy customer: “I wish I could have a big pool, but this is a wonderful way to cool off or just relax in the heat of summer. I often get in after working in the yard, and my grandchildren love it. It sits at the back of our patio, so it is easily accessible, and we use it often. I like the filter, as it makes keeping it clean much easier, and I bought some chemicals to keep it chlorinated and pH balanced. It was a great purchase, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

With over 1,500 five-star ratings on Amazon, it’s clear that many people enjoy relaxing in this inflatable pool by Intex. Its unique design features a long built-in bench with two cup holders, perfect for parents to lounge on while the kids play in the ample-sized swimming area. Reviewers praise its durability, its spaciousness, and the fact that it’s easy to fill and drain. Summer has never felt so good!

Happy customer: “This is by far some of the best money I’ve ever spent. It is a perfect way to relax and cool off on a hot day. I am so pleased with this ‘swimming pool.’ It is very sturdy, holds the air and water well, is easy to fill up with water and air, and easy to drain. The water stays cold all day, even on the hottest of days. I use mine almost weekly. I suggest always draining the water and letting out the air (makes it easier to drain the water too) and letting it air dry between uses. I always rinse it out with fresh water before filling it back up.”

Yes, we know we said these pools would keep us cool this summer, but sometimes, a soothing dip in the hot tub is called for! Enter: this 100 percent inflatable hot tub by Coleman. Equipped with 114 AirJets, this low-maintenance but totally luxurious spa can fit up to four to six adults, and can be heated up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can lounge with your friends to your heart’s content. The multi-function spa pump not only inflates this tub, it also heats the water and regulates the filtration system, so you can rest assured the water stays clear and clean. And, since it’s made with trademarked Duraplus material, it’ll hold its shape no matter how many times you deflate and inflate it.

Happy customer: “My husband and I have experienced hot tubs in 5 star resorts all over the Caribbean. We both agree that even though this looks different, it feels the same. I’m kind of a particular, so I had my reservations. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. My sister is the one who encouraged me to buy this inflatable tub because she had one and loved it … We put this on our little private patio and had just the right amount of space, then we added some multi-colored Christmas lights. This is our new favorite spot. We are both on our feet at work all day, so being able to soak our feet and the rest of our aching muscles is a delicious treat.”
