SwimWays Spring Float Hammock
Best for lying flat — The spring-frame water hammock that lets you float half-submerged with your head and feet out — the coolest way to lounge on a hot day. A patented inner spring holds the shape, a soft mesh bed cradles you just under the surface, the fabric-covered shell never gets hot, and the Hyper-Flate valve inflates it by mouth and folds it flat for storage. Rated for most adults up to 250 lb.

Pros
- Tied for the top rating on this page, 4.6★ across 1,672 owners, 83% of them five stars
- Half-submerged 'hammock' position keeps you cool on hot days — the thing floats that perch you on top can't do
- Hyper-Flate valve inflates and deflates it by mouth; the spring frame folds flat for storage, no pump
- About $30 at our October read — the hammock position for less than the Elite version that replaced it in August cost
Cons
- Air loss is the complaint: seven of the ten newest critical reviews (June–September 2026) are a hole, a slow leak or a valve that will not hold air, most inside the first season
- Sold by a third-party seller (ToyBurg) and shipped by Amazon. Spin Master's care commitment covers only authorized sellers, and its reseller policy bars third-party Amazon sales without its written consent — nothing public says whether this seller has it, so count on Amazon's return window, not Spin Master
- SwimWays has dropped it: the maker's floats page no longer lists it and Spin Master's own store shows it sold out, so this listing is selling remaining stock
- The rating base is global (US, UK, Canada and Mexico cards), and each colour carries its own count — the Blue listing reads 1,039
- One air chamber — a puncture retires it; the spring frame itself does not float you
- A relaxed adult can sink it lower than expected — one 150 lb owner says it only floated her when she lay stiff and stretched out
Air loss — a hole, a slow leak, water inside the inflatable sides, or a valve that will not hold air while you fit the stopper — mostly inside the first season. Second, smaller: a relaxed adult can ride it lower than expected.
10 most recent critical cards read 2026-10-08 (June → September 2026, of 84 critical): 7 of 10 are air loss or a hole, 1 sinks under a relaxed 150 lb adult, 1 a bent spring frame, 1 a price complaint; 9/10 Verified Purchase, 0 Vine · critical reviews read October 2026

Does the SwimWays Spring Float Hammock come with a manufacturer warranty?

Record
- — Re-carded as the lie-flat hammock pick in the pool floats showdown: the Elite Hammock that replaced it in August read Currently unavailable with an empty offer list, and this standard Spring Float Hammock listing — dead in August — read back in stock at $29.99, 4.6 stars across 1,672, sold by a third party and shipped by Amazon. Its critical tail is air loss.
- — Correction to our 2026-08-08 record: that note said there is no product called the 'Premium Spring Float Hammock'. Spin Master's own store names this float, model 6069614, the 'SwimWays Spring Float Premium Hammock Pool Lounger' — the old card's name was the maker's name. Amazon's title omits 'Premium'.
