Fact #1. At its core, a floating tube is really nothing more than a reinforced air mattress. Air mattresses have been in existence since the 1890s. They were introduced as an alternative to hair and fur-filled mattresses on steam ships. Air mattresses were inflatable, which provided these ships with a lot more storage space. These mattresses could also be used as life rafts in the event that a ship was going down.
Fact #2. As of the 1980s, almost all floating tubes were being designed out of some combination of reinforced plastic, specifically polyvinyl chloride. What's more, increased competition resulted in entire inflatable islands equipped with waterproof compartments and the capacity to seat three or more. Today, these tubes continue to be tremendously popular, and can be used year-round.
Fact #3. The first thing to consider before purchasing an inflatable tube is what exactly you plan on using that tube for. If you plan on using it in your swimming pool, for example, then you'll want that tube to accommodate the weight of at least one person, perhaps more.
Fact #4. If you plan on tubing from a speedboat, or sledding down a hill, then you'll want a tube that's aerodynamic and lightweight. The tube may also come into contact with sharp or abrasive objects, especially at high speed. In this case, you'll want that tube to feature a durable, reinforced polyvinyl liner.
Fact #5. If you need to transport a floating tube via a car or a boat, make sure that tube can be inflated fairly easily. If you plan on drinking while in a tube, make sure that it comes with cup holders. If you'll be keeping your phone with you, you'll want it to have waterproof compartments, as well. Finally, if you plan on taking it with you to the beach, it may be worth considering one that can recline on the sand.
