5.0 out of 5 stars Lasted a New England Winter Perfectly
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024
I removed this from my pool after a winter season and it looked brand new. It was still fully inflated. The pillow is made of thick durable material. The fill port has a small opening to fill it using an air compressor quickly and a larger plug that can be unscrewed to deflate the pillow fast for storage. This is the easiest and most durable pillow that I have ever used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pool cover pillow ever!
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2022
I've been buying the cheap pillows for the last 20 years because they have been the only option available at Amazon or my local pool store. Sure there are multiple brands, but they're all the sames: same thin plastic, same undependable valve sealing, and only 2 tie-down grommet holes. My standard winter routine was to install 2 pillows so that there'd be a backup for when one lost all its air. Last year both failed and I had to do a lot of work to get a third pillow under the cover mid-winter. And then that pillow failed! These new pillows are fantastic: heavy-gauge plastic, high quality valves and 4 grommet holes (one on each corner). The 4 holes allow me to tie 2 pillows end-to-end, which makes them cover more area and also lets me see that they both still have air. They've been out there for 3 months and both have lost no air. I fully expect to be using these 2 pillows for years. So even given that their price is twice that of the previous cheap ones I was buying, they are a better value since I won't be replacing every year. And the fact that I won't have to open my cover mid-winter for a pillow failure is worth even more to me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great seller support
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024
Love the pillow. Seemed to be thicker and more durable than any other purchased. Recently had an issue with the pillow leaking after one season. Contacted the seller and they replied almost immediately. The seller stood behind their product sending me a replacement. Great working with their customer service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thick material, solid seeming product.
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2022
Obviously winter performance will dictate actual effectiveness but this seems well made. Material is thick, no apparent defects. I like that there are holes in each corner to attach rope. Nice length of rope, seems like around 50 feet. I wish there were actual grommets in the holes, hopefully they don't tear, they are somewhat reinforced with a seam. I also wish the rope was less stretchy but I can change that if it is a problem.

They do take awhile to fill.

Update 3/18/24. These have now lasted 2 winters. I am looking to get a couple more next winter to have a bigger bubble in the pool. I'm happy with these.

1.0 out of 5 stars First one I got leaked and had water in it in less than 1 month.
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2023
The media could not be loaded.
Had good reviews. Got a 4x15 for my 33' round ag pool. All looked well until about 3 weeks later when I notice it was almost deflated. I said OK, maybe I didn't close it good enough. Filled it again. (and what a pain, when the pool is already closed and covered) Went to about 60% full as instructed again. I could see within 5 days it was deflating. Ordered a swap for a new one. Had to swap it out on an already closed and covered pool. Yet again, another pain. When I pulled the 1st one out it had probably over a gallon of water inside and had to be dumped out. See video. Your not going to tell me that that was condensation at that amount. It must have a hole that was NOT on a seam because neither the seam nor the cap touches the water. Osmosis?

The material seems strong and like it should hold air, but we'll see on the replacement. For $80+ this should work with no leakage.

I'll mod my stars when the next one performs as it should.

UPDATE: Well it's a few weeks (Nov 11th) since I put the replacement in and it is already shrinking. It is now Dec 4th. Obviously this one too has a leak. What are the chances. Maybe the good reviews are paid for? This isn't even lasting 1 month before it deflates. No way this will last through the winter. Would like money back on this.

UPDATE: Dec 12th, 2023. Very disappointed. They refunded the money, but now I'm again tasked with swapping out the pillow for over the winter with a different one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Lasting
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024
This pillow is made of very thick durable material. Easy to inflate and deflate. It stayed inflated all winter without losing any air. I put the rope through one side and over the top to the other side. This caused it to move around under the cover when the wind blew. I would recommend tying off both sides to keep it in the middle of the pool. First-time pool owner fails. Recommend this pillow for its durability and ease of inflation and deflation.

Worked well to keep cover up, held it's air and only broke one string. Went through some rough weather. Can't say the same for pool cover. Pillow did a good job. Gonna use the rope trick with it this fall. ????
