I bought two of those for a trip to Hawaii since I wanted to bring some water floaty that would be light weight, compactable, and small. This was perfect! They are incredibly light weight, and they fold flat like a pair of jeans. They take only a few seconds to blow up and deflate. The material also felt very high quality. They don't feel like it would puncture easily and the seat doesn't feel like it will tear. And I used them near rocks that I scraped against, and it was fine.

You can also use these for multiple ways is sitting/ laying. You can sit in it like a chair with the floaty sides under your armpits, you can lay on it like a bed with your head on one floaty and the back of your knees on the other, or you can sit on it like you are riding a horse.

I weigh about 132 and my husband about 180 and it held both of us fine. But it would not support both of us on one.

I have purchased other inflatable rafts for other vacations however none compared to this one!! We are literally I'm packing our bags when I felt the overwhelming need to post this review!!

The floats are so flat they're easy to pack inflate and deflate rinse off and repack. I was seriously asked half-dozen times where I got my float... even the locals wanted to know so they could get their own! I think if you were looking for a float that you're able to completely lay on your back and float on top of the water this is not the float for you. Me personally, was looking for a float that allowed me to be partly submerged in the water.. (I mean we were in Hawaii).

I very much appreciate the blue trim around the netted area that separates the two actual inflatable pillows, I think it makes the ref more sturdy than some of the other ones I've seen on the market. I very much like the white handles on the top and bottom of the float, easy to transport to and from the beach.

* I would suggest purchasing a manual hand pump. We purchase one on Amazon and it was also small enough to pack did not take up any room whatsoever.

I can't wait for the opportunity for us to be able to use these again!! Get your own, you won't regret it!!

Please see picture for proof!!!

The quality is great... There's a chemical smell into it but that's not surprising...

It works 4 in 1 really!!! I bought 2 to DR and no regrets at all!!

Other reviews have issues putting air... it looks like it's complicated but this thing would work even if it's not fully blown... and when i tried it in the water, it actually works!!!

I love this thing! And so does my 10 year-old son. It is very comfortable in any position and holds you in the water so you are mostly submerged with your shoulders exposed. My favorite thing about this is that you do not have to get on a ladder or have someone else hold it so that you can get on it. You can push the mesh fabric below your body easily and actually get on with some grace! The vinyl is heavy gauge and the item is well made, but I'm not sure how long the mesh fabric will hold up with exposure to the sun and chlorine. I'm guessing I will get two seasons out of it, which isn't bad for an item under 20 bucks.

I ordered two of these - blue and orange. They're just the same except color.
I removed one star because of the price... these are pretty pricey. I paid several dollars less for similar ones (different colors / pattern) at a local chain store and I found absolutely no difference in quality between these and those. They''re even the same brand and in the same box.

But if you decide to purchase these for the convenience of having them delivered to your door, here's my review...

I purchased these for a six-day long vacation because I needed floats that would be lightweight and pack up fairly small. These are perfect for that. They pack smaller and weigh MUCH less than full-length inflatable floats.
I was surprised at the quality and durability... they were excellent about holding air with very little to no leakage. They're also easy & quick to inflate.
I used them in pools and also at the beach in the protected waters near the shore. (I am NOT advising anyone to do that... I am just telling you what *I* did.) I weigh about 165 and they held me up well. I never worried about tipping or going under. I'm confident that they'll hold up ~ 200 lbs. with no trouble. Maybe more.
I think this is my favorite type of float because I could sit / recline on them but my midsection was slightly submerged. It's much easier to keep cool that way! Also, I find that they are easier to get on and off of than the usual full-length floats. That's just me, though. Your mileage may vary. :)
Anyway...
Reviews have helped me make LOTS of great choices, warned me about not-so-great ones and probably saved me from wasting money! I try to repay the favor by writing detailed, helpful ones.
