Sick of cheap pool toys?

Sick of Cheap Pool Toys? So Were We. That’s Why We Made Floattilla.

If you've ever bought a pool toy, you probably know this cycle all too well:

You inflate it (sweating the entire time).

You toss it in the pool.

It lasts a few hours—maybe a few weeks if you're lucky.

Then... it pops. Or fades. Or turns into a mildewy mess you don’t want to touch.

Now you have to figure out where to store the soggy disappointment.

And guess what? You'll do it all again next summer.

It’s Not Just You—Pool Toys Are Usually Terrible

Most pool floats and toys on the market today are made from flimsy vinyl and cheap foam. They’re designed to look fun in a store, not actually last in the sun. Between weak seams, brittle plastic, and thin foam that flakes apart, you’re often left with a pile of trash before the season’s even over.

We were tired of it too.

So we built something better.

Enter: Floattilla

We created Floattilla because we wanted pool floats that actually lived up to the hype. Strong. Stylish. Simple to use. And made to last.

Our signature product—the Hexnoodle—fixes all the problems you're used to dealing with. Let’s break it down:

💥 No More Popped Inflatables

Problem: You inflate it once. It deflates overnight. Sound familiar?

Floattilla Fix: Our floats are made of premium closed-cell foam. No inflation. No leaks. No failure.

☀️ Sun-Proof Style

Problem: UV rays bleach and break down most floats after just a few weeks.

Floattilla Fix: Our high-end marine-grade materials are UV-resistant and colorfast—designed for full-sun exposure without fading or cracking.

🛠️ No Weak Seams or Cheap Vinyl

Problem: One rough edge or a kid’s elbow and it’s game over.

Floattilla Fix: Our floats are built with a reinforced, soft-touch fabric cover and dense foam core that won’t rip, peel, or fall apart.

🧼 No Moldy Foam or Slimy Texture

Problem: Traditional foam floats get nasty fast—absorbing water, mildew, and sunscreen residue.

Floattilla Fix: Ours are water-resistant, quick-drying, and easy to rinse off. They stay clean and dry after every use.

🧳 Easy to Store, Easy to Love

Problem: Big inflatable rafts are a nightmare to store—and even worse when wet.

Floattilla Fix: The Hexnoodle is compact, lightweight, and designed to lean against a wall or hang neatly. No deflation needed.

Designed to Make Summer Better, Not More Work

We didn’t want to just sell another float. We wanted to create something that felt good—to touch, to use, to look at. Whether you're lounging solo, floating with a drink in hand, or keeping an eye on the kids, Floattilla fits your vibe and your lifestyle.

Because pool toys shouldn’t be disposable. And summer should never be stressful.

Reinventing the Pool Noodle: Mom of two creates a sustainable and durable replacement for summer's most recognizable toy - the pool noodle.

When it's hot out, all the kids want to do is get in the water and play. There's no better way to burn off that energy or fill hours of a day. But there can be one frustrating downside: flimsy, wasteful pool toys that barely last a season. Danielle, a mother of two from North Attleboro, Massachusetts, found herself fed up with the endless cycle of buying and discarding cheap, foam pool noodles. Danielle and her husband Joey knew there had to be a better solution. They set out to create a product that would last for years, be environmentally friendly, and elevate the pool experience. The result? The Hexnoodle, a premium pool noodle designed to last season after season.

"Most pool noodles on the market are made of low-quality foam that disintegrates within months," Danielle explains. "Even the larger noodles are cheaply made and often filled with questionable, shredded foam that breaks apart quickly. It’s wasteful, frustrating, and not something I wanted for my family—or anyone else."

The Hexnoodle is different. With a high-density foam core and UV-resistant vinyl coating it ensures durability and comfort, offering superior buoyancy and support. The coating prevents water absorption and protects the product from sun damage, making it a long-lasting alternative to traditional pool noodles.

Why the Hex Design?"We started out with the intention of creating a round float," Danielle shares, "but we quickly discovered that you couldn’t manufacture a solid, round noodle without it being hollow. Hollow noodles were something we wanted to avoid because they compromise durability and comfort. So, working with our manufacturer, we came up with the clever hexagonal design. It allowed us to create a solid, durable product that is also incredibly comfortable to use."

This patentable design not only addresses the structural limitations of traditional pool noodles but also ensures the Hexnoodle stands out as a game-changer in both form and function.

"We wanted something that wasn't just another disposable product," Joey adds. "The Hexnoodle is built to last for years, not weeks. And it’s not just functional—it’s stylish and easy to store, too."

Unlike other pool noodles, which are often hollow or filled with low-quality materials, the Hexnoodle is solidly constructed for maximum performance. Its impressive buoyancy means it can comfortably support adults up to 300 pounds.

"I’m not saying my husband is 300 pounds, but at 6 foot 5, he's pretty close!," Danielle says with a laugh. "And I’ve seen him comfortably float on the Hexnoodle all day long. It’s that strong!"

Traditional noodles break apart into small foam pieces, which can end up clogging pool filtration, and poses a hazard to wildlife as dangerous litter in lakes and oceans, pools, lakes, and oceans, posing a hazard to wildlife. By eliminating the need for frequent replacements, the Hexnoodle minimizes environmental impact and promotes sustainability.

"When you think about how much waste these foam noodles create, it’s staggering," Danielle says. "We wanted to give people an option that aligns with their values—something that’s better for the environment and their wallet in the long run."

The integrated strap and ring make it easy to hang or tether to a boat, further enhancing its use for water enthusiasts. The Hexnoodle measures 46 inches long and 6 inches wide, making it perfect for leisurely floating, water exercise, or family fun.

"The feedback we’ve received has been incredible," Danielle shares. "Parents love that they don’t have to waste time and money replacing pool noodles every summer. And the fact that it’s made with high-quality materials that won’t fall apart has been a game-changer for boaters and pool owners alike."

Danielle and Joey hope the Hexnoodle will inspire others to prioritize quality and sustainability in everyday products.

"This started as a solution for our family, but it’s become so much more," Danielle says. "We’re thrilled to see people embrace the idea that something as simple as a pool noodle can make a big difference—for their summer fun and for the planet."
