Waybas 6ft Pool Air Pillow for Above-Ground Pools — 6ft, 0.3mm Thick PVC Heavy-Duty Winter Float with 66ft Rope

The Waybas 6ft pool air pillow is a heavy-duty winter float designed to sit under an above-ground pool cover to relieve pressure from snow, rain and debris and help keep the cover from collapsing.

When you winterize an above-ground pool, trapped water and snow on the cover can pull the cover down and transfer stress to the pool walls. The Waybas pool pillow creates a controlled high point beneath the cover so melting water and ice are directed away from the pool edge. Made from thickened PVC with reinforced edges and supplied with 20 meters of rope plus repair tape, this float is a practical, reusable ice-equalizer for home pools and hot tubs.

How does this air pillow protect my pool cover during winter?

The pillow keeps the center of the cover elevated so melting water and collected snow flow off instead of pooling against the sidewalls. That reduces strain on cover straps and the pool edge, helping the cover last longer and preventing localized sagging.

• Creates a raised center under the cover to shed water and snow.
• Reduces pressure on cover straps and pool walls.
• Helps prevent ice formation that seals the cover to the pool edge.

What are the size and material details I need to know?

The Waybas pillow measures 6ft across when uninflated and reaches about 5ft diameter when inflated to the recommended level. It’s constructed from a 0.3mm thickened PVC with double-sealed edges to improve airtightness and weather resistance for seasonal use.

• Uninflated diameter: 6ft; typical inflated diameter: 5ft.
• 0.3mm thickened PVC and double-sealed edge for better durability.
• Includes 20m (66ft) rope for center anchoring and two 3×3 inch repair tapes.

How do I install and maintain the Waybas pool pillow correctly?

Installation is straightforward: partially inflate the pillow, secure it in the pool center with the supplied rope, place the cover over the pool, and finish winterizing. For longevity, inflate to about 70% capacity and avoid overinflation; the repair tape is included to patch small punctures if needed.

• Inflate the pillow to roughly 70% and don’t overinflate.
• Thread and tie the rope through the four holes to keep it centered.
• Use supplied repair tape for minor punctures; store indoors when not in use.

Will this pillow fit my above-ground pool and what comes in the kit?

This pillow suits most home above-ground pools and small hot tubs as a single center float; it’s meant to be one part of a winterizing system, not a replacement for proper covers and anchors. The package contains one uninflated pillow, a 20m rope and two 3×3 inch repair tapes in blue.

• Package: 1 pool pillow, 20m/66ft rope, two 3×3 inch repair tapes.
• Color: blue; Quantity: one pillow per kit.
• Designed for above-ground pools; check pool diameter to ensure coverage.

If you store a pool cover each winter and want to reduce maintenance, or if you need a durable, reusable winter float with repair options, this kit provides a simple, low-effort solution.
