Original Floating Water Mat Island Float Layer FlexCore Green/Yellow Foam Raft, Made in The USA

Bought the 18’ Aqua Lilly Pad and have used several times since we got it. Box was pristine, so shipping was great. Foam was in perfect shape… no imperfections. We use on the river (vs a lake). Tie to the back of the boat using the included bungie type tether. Have a secondary rope around too - for plan B if the tether fails. Positives: Well, it is a bunch of fun. Laying on this is very comfortable. Supports a lot of weight. I set up a beach chair and sat on it without any instability whatsoever (had to try it), but laying on it is my preference. Kids/Teenagers perhaps under 130lbs can walk on it easily. I am a little north of that weight and can walk on it but standing still is more of a challenge balancing. With an 18’ length, there is plenty of room for us. I imagine this would be a really fantastic thing for young kids especially. Realistically going a little shorter would have been ok, but I am happy with the extra capacity the 18’ has. Some reviewers said it was the same material as pool noodles. Well… sort of. But the Lilly Pad foam is much more dense than our noodles. No doubt that sharp objects will mess this thing up, but that is just common sense. I would say this will hold up a ton better than any plastic inflatable type float. No real negatives to talk about but I will mention the following. This takes 2 people to roll up when you are doing it on a boat. If it is windy, it may present a struggle. Perhaps if you were rolling it up on the beach, 1 person could do it. Also, the inner most edge hasn’t truly flattened out when we unroll and use. Have used a handful of times and it is getting a little flatter but isn’t flat yet. Probably 1’ - 1.5’ worth is pointing up after 5 hours of being on the water. Lastly, check around for pricing of this if you pull the trigger, as there seems to be some variability in pricing (and shipping). Buying direct could be cheaper depending on specials out there. I had seen similar products (knock-offs) out there for less but opted to go with the Aqua Lilly Pad as they have been in this specific business for 10 years with this and similar products.

Perfect addition to your water fun!! Light, and made well!!

My grandkids love this splash pad! Hours of fun on the lake! Quality construction wouldn't buy any other brand!

The lily pad was amazing! Our grandchildren enjoyed running, splashing, jumping and playing on it. Buoyancy, size, age range, color, and best money spent! We highly recommend this water investment💙

Nice quality but can be difficult to unroll and roll up when you are in the boat. Very stiff, but once unrolled, it is nice and sturdy, standing up to the roughness of my grandkids well.

Our family, and our golden doodle are really enjoying using our lily pad. We tether it to the back of our Houseboat.

We use the lily pad on our lake trip. We have teenagers and they used the lily pad to suntan on the water.

Lightweight but durable. Easy roll up / put away.

This the second one we bought. Are first lasted 10 years. Way better then inflatable. Just be careful if you have stormy weather take it out. Had the tie cable rip out once.
