8' x 4' Lily Pad Floating Mat, 3-Layer Tear-Resistant XPE Foam Water Mat with 16.4'' Bungee Tether, Green

I love the concept but hard to keep water off while using alone. I have only used it once it was a struggle, updates to come when I use it with multiple guest. Update to follow.

This does the job but it’s cheap. It is basically the same foam that pool noodles are made out of. It could barely hold one adult and one child before sinking down. First day use, and it already has pieces that have ripped off. Save yourself the money and buy the better more expensive ones.

I got this as a pool/lake toy for the kids. We had fun playing at the pool when testing it out, but with its large size, I'd caution close supervision if kids are swimming under it.It's not great as a pad to lay down on (for adults), as there's no head support and parts of the pad submerge an inch or two.The float itself is made well. It comes with straps and a large zippered bag to roll and store it when not in use. The bag makes it easier to transport.

When push comes to shove, you get creative! I ordered this floating water mat to enjoy at our summer cottage. The cottage is under renovation, so we haven't been able to furnish it yet. I had ordered "bed-in-a-box" mattresses to be delivered, but the two xl twins didn't show up for our arrival. What to do to help with sleeping on the floor? Roll out the foam floating mat!!! While it certainly wasn't a nice memory foam mattress, this definitely helped to fill the gap and soften the hard, wooden floor for sleeping. When we first unrolled it, it seemed as if the thing would never uncurl and lay flat. I had read comments and instructions and tried the idea of rolling it backward to flatten it. Wow! it worked instantly and with walking over the edges a few times, lay wonderfully flat the rest of the trip. Next time we are at the cottage and have our real furniture in place, we will use this mat as intended out on the river, but for now, it sure came in handy in a pinch!!
