SOWKT Lily Pad Floating Mat for Lake, Pool & Boating - Giant Water Pad for Swimming, Relaxing & Sunbathing - Durable Floating Mat for Adults & Kids - Perfect for Summer Fun, Beach Parties & Water Activities

We bought this to use in our pool and even our dogs like to lay on it! The colors are great, it floats great and we are happy with our purchase!UPDATE: COO of the company reached out to me and made it right. While the product color was a disappointment with the fading so quickly, it's nice to work with a company that stands behind their product.For the actual floating durability, it's great--it definitly holds kids/adults up and is fun to play on, relax, etc.However, we did have some fading issues. This past Christmas, I received one of these Water Mats as a gift. We recently took it out of the box to use on the lake. The first time we put it in, we took it up the next day to store it in our basement as we would be out of town the next weekend and didn't want to leave it in the water. A couple of weekends later, we put it out on that Friday, and by Wednesday, the yellow side had almost completely faded almost to white. (I have attached pictures to show you the fading)With the price of the water mat, and for it to be already faded this bad, is concerning. For one, we've used it twice; the first time being only in the water one day. Another concern is that after 2pm every day that it was in the water, our area is completely shaded so the direct sun isn't even hitting it so the sun faded it with the limited exposure it had. And last, our neighbor has another water mat that is pink/blue (not sure of the brand) that she has left in the water since the weekend before memorial day. It has been pink side up and not faded at all, it still looks like the day she opened it up and put it in the water and it was in the same exact price range as the one we purchased from SOWKT.I've reached out to SOWKT but waiting on a response.Tons of fun, but can’t be left out in the sun for long periods. Had multiple shipping issues, but the seller was helpful and responsive.KidsThe grandkids love it……While we have only used it a few times it appears to be well made and durable.the mat is made of really great quality. be careful though when using it in the water to make sure it isn't bumping up against the dock - it will produce wear and tear much faster if it is constantly rubbing up against the dock. Also make sure when you're using the straps to wrap it back up, to use the cushion protectors - we learned this the hard way after first use, created two little tears on one layer (nothing worth being upset over) but once we used the protectors we didn't notice any additional tears! the kids had a blast playing on it and we will make tons of memories this summer with it!The buoyancy is great. took a while for the curl to be worked out and get it completely flat. The major drawback and reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the fact that it only has one grommet to tie an anchor to. Why do that? You really need two lines to keep it from spinning around. Seems like an easy modification that would result in a huge benefit.It rips easyIt was so much fun!
