The Danmar Head Float (Model 8725) is an essential support device for aquatic therapy and recreation, especially for individuals with limited head and neck control. Designed to provide hands-free stabilization, it comfortably cradles the user’s head above water, allowing for complete relaxation without the need for constant caregiver assistance. This makes it an excellent choice for both therapy professionals and families seeking to create a more enjoyable and secure water experience.

Why We Like It

What truly sets the Danmar Head Float apart is its use of Ensolite® marine flotation foam—a closed-cell material that remains buoyant even if punctured and never absorbs water. The foam is encased in a durable, triple-coated vinyl finish that resists wear from chlorine and salt water. Its unique design supports the head while relieving pressure from the spinal column, promoting proper alignment and reducing discomfort during use. The float is also particularly beneficial for users with dominant reflexes, as it gently stabilizes their position in the water without triggering involuntary responses.

What Makes It Different

Available in three sizes to accommodate children through adults, the Head Float ensures a snug, comfortable fit with secure polypropylene straps and non-corrosive nylon buckles. The standard bright yellow finish offers high visibility, but custom vinyl colors are also available for a more personalized or professional look. Maintenance is simple—just wash with mild soap and water, allow to air-dry, and apply a light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch to keep the surface smooth and soft.
