What is the back like? Is it just mesh or is there also floatation material?

Yes, the back has flotation material as well. It is about 1.5" thick if I had to guess.

The back is made up of three sections of flotation material. The two outer pieces are shoulder blade high, the center back piece comes up to the back of the neck. It's an excellent piece of equipment.

It's pretty thick. Nothing like little cheapy floats that fit one person. It's pretty durable.

It does have a fin on the underside in the back. I sit very comfortably in it. That is the one feature I like the most. You can adjust the straps to pull the seat up straighter. Also, having the back fully inflated is important. My youngest did not inflate it enough and I had to stop and put more air in to sit in the boat better.

It is lightweight. You wear it around your waste. There are 4 foam panels. 2 go on the back and two on your stomach. It keeps even an adult afloat. It is comfortable and useful. I used it myself, until I learned to swim and now lend it to grand-kids and other adults that are afraid of the water. You will like it!!

No, the material is similar to plastic goggles from science class. Its firm but flexible with a smooth plastic feel.

Hi. The back of this one is hard plastic and curved upward for the small of your back (following the normal curvature of your spine). I like that, and find the flat padded backs on others not nearly as comfortable. The only drawback to this is that there is not a soft surface for the back of your head when using the machine. Would I buy this one again? You betcha.....and a bargain price with SUPER fast delivery from the company. Box arrived in good shape and simple to put together. Roger

My daughter used it with her son and she said it was the best life jacket she has ever used. The other he kept slipping out of. As for floating on the back I don't know. It defiantly kept his face out of the water.

I believe the seat may have foam under the mesh. There is something there beside the mesh. The back is only mesh. However, the seat and back are the most comfortable I've tried.

The mesh feels like is on top of shaped foam. It does breathe really well for me...I have an Aeron chair as well. There is an air space between the mesh and the foam that allows some air circulation I think. It stays nice and cool when sitting for a long time. The only problem is that my cat loves to take possession when I stand up. I've had mine for several months and so far am very happy. It's not as adjustable as the Aeron chair, but provides comfort when sitting for long hours.

The chair cushion is cloth. The back is a mesh type material. It gets a lot of use and the chair seems to be very durable. We love it.

I would say it was like plastic. Float like. Not something soft that you would want against your skin.

It is made of foam, which gives it lightness. To make the exercise for the back is perfect. For me it's a good product.

I bought this for my wife last year and she loves it. Best float we have ever owned. It dries out very quickly. Not sure about the mesh, but it floats really nice. You are floating above the water. Hope this helps.

Yes! The back is actually metal. My 2.5yr nephew (well he's 3 now) loved it! It's withstood moving snow piles In the winter and sand at the beach! It's bigger than what you think too! Great toy for kids who love trucks!

The bottom is closed and is made of the same material as the rest of the float.
