Scary Mommy 2025 Readers' Choice Awards

Here’s the thing moms know: There is no greater feat in parenting than being able to sit the F down when it’s nice out. Now that it’s getting warmer, that desire is growing stronger, and these brands are here to help. Here are some of our favorite outdoor inflatable brands that make summer that much more enjoyable for kids, sure, but also for you.

Scary Mommy’s readers have spoken! Congratulations to our top cco-chic inflatable brands:

1. Pool Buoy

What Scary Mommy readers love about Pool Buoy:

  • The gorgeous prints look like they came out of a design school. A stylish backyard float that doesn't scream cheap neon eyesore? Yes, please!
  • I 💚 that they fund the removal of a kg of ocean plastic with every purchase. Luxury style with an actual eco-conscience!
  • The heavyweight, recyclable vinyl survives rough playtime effortlessly. It’s non-toxic and gives this tired mama a chic place to unwind.

2. LYKKE

What Scary Mommy readers love about LYKKE:

  • High-quality aesthetic that completely transforms our lawn. It turns our little space into a boutique resort!
  • Finally, an adult-sized inflatable pool that looks the part! Totally fits two parents for a quiet glass of wine the second the kids are in bed.
  • Most blow-up options rip instantly, but this heavy-duty material is shockingly durable and worth every single penny.

3. &Sunday

What Scary Mommy readers love about &Sunday:

  • The premium matte TPU finish eliminates that tacky, shiny plastic glare. Best of all, it matches our patio’s vibe.
  • The scalloped edges are stunning. They bring a sleek, five-star hotel aesthetic straight to my otherwise chaotic suburban yard.
