If you’re a provider of leisure activities or products for swimming or watersports, foam noodles can be a good option for driving impulse purchases among customers.
Foam noodles (also commonly called pool noodles) are long, cylindrical toys made of buoyant polyethylene or EVA foam. Available in standard or bespoke sizes (lengths and diameters), plus a range of colours, they are widely used as buoyancy aids to help beginners learn to swim, practice kicks, or perform low-impact water exercises.
At Polyformes, we are a well-established pool noodle manufacturer, supplying these and other swimming aids (floats, vests, life jackets, etc.) for over 40 years. Whether you need cost-effective standard flotation products or custom items for a unique project, our team of experts can help you find the right solution.
The benefits of Polyformes foam noodles include:
Foam noodles are long, cylindrical foam products that are manufactured from closed-cell polyethylene foam and are best known for use in swimming pools and water activities. Although not intended for these applications, they are also popular for a range of DIY uses, such as edge protection and arts and crafts.
Foam noodles are typically manufactured from polyethylene foam, such as Plastazote®. This material offers several properties that make it particularly well-suited to foam noodles. Its closed-cells and light weight make it exceptionally buoyant, durable enough to withstand repeated use, and flexible enough to provide comfort and support. Closed-cell polyethylene foam is also highly durable and resilient, and resists chemicals, UV exposure, and repeated compression better than many alternative materials.
While there are several “standard” sizes for pool noodles, they can be manufactured in bespoke diameters, lengths, colours, and foam grades to meet specific requirements.
Polyformes is a manufacturer of foam noodles, supplying sports centres, swimming pools, water parks and leisure retailers for resale across the UK and Europe. As such, we are unable to provide single pool noodles or very low volumes to end consumers.
