GYMAX Floating Water Mat, 12' x 6' Foam Water Floating Pad with Safe Bungee Tether and Storage Straps, 3-Layer XPE Foam Floating Island for Pool Lake River Outdoor Water Activities

I bought this for my grandkids at the lake. They are having a blast on it. There are 5 of them ages 10 - 14. The float is strong and holds them all.My only concern is that the tether line doesn't seem that durable. I expect we'll have to change it out.This product met my expectations.

This foam mat is very thick and pretty firm. The surface is tear resistant and the mat is built to last. We use it in the basement for the kids to exercise on it as a play mat. It's thick enough to protect the kids from any hurt with the floor tile. The kids can craw and roll on it very comfortably. When not in use, it can serve as a divider to make a private space as a spare "bedroom". It’s light weighted so the conversion is effortless. We don't get a chance to try it on the water so cannot comment on that. Given the fact that it looks so much fun to play on the water, we might give it a try next summer. The only way to move it with our car is probably tie it on the top with fasten straps due to its huge size.

Has been super fun holds the Weight as described and very sturdy

The durability may be somewhat of an issue, although how durable can foam really be? My main reason for writing a review is to mention how amazing their customer service is. I had an issue with the mat and they worked diligently with me to come up with a solution. I can't thank them enough!

It's a very romantic thing to make a boat out of it, to float on the water. We even put them in the pool and they float really well and the kids can play and roll on them and it's really fun. It's very easy to use and can be rolled up for next time.

Bought last year and only used a handful of times. Got it out last week for the first day of the boating season and our 12 year-old niece's foot went all the way through the mat when she jumped on it from the side of the boat. Mat was wiped down thoroughly and stored indoors all winter. Didn't even make it a full year with only a few uses. Friends have had theirs (other brands) for years and no rips or holes. This one appears to not be very durable.

I bought a similar float pad a long time ago, but it's not nearly as good as this one. It is so thick and buoyant, including the material and color is my favorite type. It's also big enough for our family of four to float at once. I enjoyed the cool and happy process.

We were very excited to get this floating mat for our grandkids. We had it tied to the dock and the kids were jumping from the dock onto the mat with bare feet. The mat now has 2 large holes in it. We were very disappointed. This is not an inexpensive buy. On the good side…everybody loved it! Unfortunately we only got to use it twice. We bought some marine glue stuff and are in the process of repairing it. Not sure if it will work yet.

The kids love it and so do the dogs.

Lovely water companion. Use it in lake nearby, and it works perfectly. Whole family could get on and float on water, kids love to play on it. Highly recommended

Good quality. Everyone loves it.

The mat was fun, my kids loved playing on it but the hard plastic piece that holds the cord attachment in place ripped almost right away and then ripped out completely so now I have a mat that can nolonger be attached anywhere so it would have to be pulled into and out of the water for each use and stored on land so that it does not blow away...this makes it almost useless.

The price seemed to be fine until I saw a similar one at Costco for 200$ cheaperA day in the water it got a slice in it from the dock thought it might have been a little more durable
