The full picture
Frontgate's signature float earns the price with materials: quick-dry marine-grade fabric over thick closed-cell foam that resists water-logging, fading, and the seam splits that kill cheap floats in weeks. It's the buy-it-once lounger for owners done rebuying inflatables every summer.
