At 32\" long and 16\" wide with roomy 10\" leg openings, the design keeps your torso supported while your legs and arms remain free for swimming or casual paddling. Because it relies on foam rather than air, you don’t have to worry about punctures, pumps, or popped seams—simply grab it and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the foam saddle stay buoyant without inflation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saddle uses five bonded layers of poly foam engineered for consistent floatation. The closed-cell construction resists water absorption and maintains shape, so buoyancy remains reliable over repeated use.
