is there any amount of floatation in the padding?

By itself, maybe, strapped to you with mag pouches and other accessories, not so much.

not really. padding is for comfort, which will come in handy with weight of equipment. the thin and lite weight padding will not float once it absorbs water though. definitely an equipment/utility belt not a floatation device.

My grandmother had these for as long as I can remember and hers did seem to float on their side. Mine hasn't done it. So idk if it's the older ones or what. But mine is doing just fine floating around our pool.

It must be quite comfortable; my son has been sleeping on it since Xmas. However, I did put a mattress pad on it at the time of setting it up. It is now due for another pad because he had told me it's beginning to sink.

It is not very thick as far as I am concerned but the suction cups do create a space between that does add a padded feel.

No, you'll have one half inch of extra cushion on each end. If you want it to look tightly filled, a half inch of foam rubber will do it.

I didn't use anything under it. The foot pads are pretty well designed to avoid damage. My former in-laws have the next size up and have had no problems even with all the neighborhood kids playing in the pool.

Pretty much. Only had a minor spill so far,and it like woped away and did not seep through to the other side. Super comfortable.

It will float up a bit, but its not that bad. Most of these vests have that tendency though.

NO, not at all. Mine are still in perfect condition! And I am definitely not careful/delicate with them. The only complain I have is that they tend to ride up off the seat bottom and I have to pull them back down but this is because I can't find a good spot underneath my seat to hook the straps.

No. There is a crease in the padding and material that seems to cover it up. You do fill that there is a seem but if you have a sheet or blanket, it doesnt bother.

I don't know exactly how much padding there is but it feels very plush. It is very comfortable and I have not had a problem with pressure points. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Yes, the entire float is as seen in the photo. I love mine! The only problem is that after sitting on it for a time, you will need to put a bit more air in to keep it firm. But it's comfortable and I love the open foot area for splashing my toes in the water. And! It's inexpensive.

Yes. The fabric's pattern has tiny, non-skid bumps covering the whole cushion.

Yup. padding is pretty soft, got cut with a sai, but clear tape fixed that. Swivels and bearings, they swing great. (I got one, should have gotten my kid two, fyi.)

There's no "plastic" of any kind ir rubber within the padding. The wdges (for tucking) are airy and kinda "gauzey". As far as the pad itself, its got numerous "pockets" that seem to be "airy" thus the padding stays comfortable and not hot. Extremely comfortable, and I live down here in South Florida!

Hi Nancy, hilarious that amazon asked me to answer! I ordered this and it never arrived, never heard from company, and Amazon paid my claim and fully refunded my money on it. No idea if it is padded as it never arrived! Best of luck with your purchase. Brian
