We love this water mat. My 10, 8, and 6 year old kids can easily run and jump on the mat. It’s great for adults, too! Looked at other online sites and found this same mat for double the cost. Always pleased with Sierra Trading Post’s great deals.

It’s very fun! You won’t be disappointed!
GREAT PRICE: I priced similar type mats years ago but couldn’t justify the $600-$700 price tag. I was excited to find this affordably priced at STP so I bought back in February. We used it at the lake Memorial Day weekend.
TEENS: 14 teens-some fully on, some upper body only hung out for hours. We are planning to buy another for our large upcoming family reunion.
ADULTS: At 6’ tall 155lbs & my husband at 6’2” 210lbs can lay on this pad along with 3-4 other similarly sized adults without sinking as long as we are not right next to each other.

HOW IT WORKS: you must be spaced out if you want to be supported outside the water. The mat is easy to get on from the water or the dock. I am able to pull myself onto the dock from the mat, where I would need a ladder otherwise. Adults will feel comfortable and stably supported in seated or lying positions. Children can run up and down the mat, do cartwheels, & wrestle with reasonable stability. My son is 115lbs. He can run the full length of the mat without falling. At his weight the idea is to keep moving & disperse your weight. Our younger cousins at 80lbs and under are so stable they are hard to even knock off the mat. I tried.

LOVE this mat! It has provided hours of fun for my grandchildren, a place to relax on the water for me, and a resting spot for my dog that loves to swim.
