Re: Big air mattress, bigger people
Pools open in two weeks!
I don't know if I ever talked about the Intex french fries float that Walmart sells. It's a bit narrow for two people but it could float two thin adults no problem. What I like about this float is that it's thick and fairly stretchy, so outside the pool you sink into it a lot.
It's got two air chambers, which I'm not fond of. One of them is really small and is surrounded by the larger one. The larger one also covers the entire french fry end of the float, the big end. That end is wide enough for two large people to sit. There's a big warning label on the bottom part, which the photos don't show. A bit deceptive, and some people probably don't like it, but I think it's awesome, because when you put a lot of weight on the top of the raft, the warning label stretches out of shape. Makes it look like it's under a lot of stress.
I over inflated the thing by quite a lot. It got really difficult to blow into it, and then it got easier. I'm pretty sure I could blow pop it, but instead I sat on it while it was overinflated. Didn't pop it. My partner sat with me. Didn't pop it. That warning label got really distorted. I wanted to bounce to pop it, but I decided to wait until we could get New Girl on it with us. So it survived the day. It looks awesome overinflated. If they sell it again this year I'm going to get more of them, because I know I'm going to pop it.
In the pool it's great for making boomy noises with skin against vinyl, but it isn't big enough to get someone on it with me. It floats me no problem.
