OK I have read about people using an air pillow to hold up their pool cover for winter but I am wondering if it can be used year round. The reason I ask is that we do not always get to use the pool during the week and the cover eventually starts to sink a little and then when we do take the cover off it is harder because of it is full of water. I was thinking of using just a inner tube or larger swim ring since I have a 12' round and maybe just trying to weight it some how so that the pillow stays in the center of the pool. Thoughts.

I would think an inner tube would work. You could also try a solar cover that has the floatation built into it.
Does a solar cover warm the pool? I would not want this during the summer, it gets pretty warm in Central Fl. for that.

I've been using various floats under the cover to keep the center from sinking. inner tube seemed to work pretty good. An inflatable mattress was a little easier to maneuver from outside the pool.
An inflatable mattress might work great. My problem is finding one for cheap. May have to do some looking around to see if I have one laying around.
