This review is from: SwimWays Spring Float Papasan - color may vary (Toy)

I bought this spring float because is compact, yet I wouldn't need super lungs or an inflator to set it up. It is as quick and easy to set up as I expected. Just let it pop up, blow a little air (it doesn't take much) and I'm done.

My kids like to sit in the mesh as if this is a boat. Because of that, the mesh quickly started coming apart at the bottom seam. It's easy to sew up. Just beware that the mesh is not meant to bear the full weight of < 50 lb. children.

I like the papasan, but sitting up in it requires I actually sit up. Any attempt to lean back renders me flat on my back, although that position can be quite comfortable. It's like floating in an inner tube, but I'm more submerged in the water.

I'm 130 lbs., 5'5". This chair fits me well. My brother is 5'10". I don't know how much he weighs, but he has a muscular build. He was a little too tall or big to lay in it comfortably and for some reason, he kept tilting to one side when he was in it. His girlfriend and I did not have that problem, so we chalked it up to his size.

PROS:
+ compact
+ comes with a carry bag
+ quick and easy set-up
+ folds up quickly
+ comfortable to lay in

CONS:
- larger people may not fit comfortably
- mesh tears at the seams when children play in it
- no back support -- leaning back will put you completely on your back

This is the best pool float I've ever owned. It's comfortable, easy to store, and inflate. It deflates and inflates very quickly too.

With this float, you can sit or you can lay and you're always partially in the water. On a typical pool float, you're on top of the float, out of the water. With this one, part of your body is always in the water, keeping you cool and refreshed.

It's very durable and we take it when ever and where ever we hit the pool. We love this one so much, we bought another one and now have two!

I had one of the Spring Float Recliner and loved it so I decided to try one of these. This lets you sit a bit lower in the water. I prefer it on hotter days when you want to be more in the water than with the recliner. The papasan is easier to store and inflate though since it is a simpler design. Here's a video to give you an idea about how in the water you are while using it.
