Winter cover air pillows are an essential accessory for above ground pools, designed to protect your pool walls and liner from the pressure of expanding ice. Placed beneath your winter cover, they create a buffer zone that helps reduce stress on the pool structure during freezing conditions.
Air pillows act as a cushion against ice expansion, preventing costly damage to your liner and pool walls. They also help channel rainwater and melted snow toward the edges of the cover, making it easier to remove debris.

How many air pillows do I need?
Most above ground pools only need one air pillow, but larger pools may benefit from two or more for even coverage.
Should I fully inflate my air pillow?
No—only inflate to about two-thirds capacity. This allows room for expansion in freezing conditions.
Can I reuse my air pillow every winter?
Yes, if properly stored after the season, many pillows can be reused for multiple years.
