California Sun Deluxe Unsinkable Ultra Soft Foam Cushion Pool Noodle

I purchased 3 of these California Sun Deluxe Unsinkable Ultra Soft Foam Cushion Pool Noodles. (Blue, Red, Green) I should have paid attention to the reviewer that posted a photo which shows the noodle folding over on itself. These are NOT solid noodles. I thought they would be made of solid foam. BUT THEY ARE NOT! These consist of a thin foam outer layer (feels like it is maybe 1/4 of an inch in thickness and covered with a think latex coating (which feels brittle to the touch) I'm sure it will start flaking off after just a few hours of use. As I mentioned earlier, these are NOT solid foam noodles. They cannot stand up on their own. I have not not cut one open, but it feels like there is a piece of pantyhose inside which must be filled with little pellets. That might be OK, but there is a good 1- 1/2 inch of void (open space) between the inner filled cavity (panty hose) and the exterior of the noodle. Do yourself a favor and pass on these. Return shipping was $15.99 for each noodle which is ridiculous. I am not going to spend $48.00 to return these pieces of trash, so I now am the owner of something that according to some other reviews may last a few hours of use in the ocean or pool. I am very disappointed with my purchases and recommend anyone looking for these consider looking elsewhere, preferably locally where you can actually touch/feel the product before purchasing. Or, order from a company such as Sam's, Costco, BJ's, Walmart, etc. that have decent return policies where they stand behind the quality of their merchandise and don't charge crazy return shipping fees. If you are reading this review, and have made it this far through it, I would consider you to be a person like me that researches products before purchasing. Don't make the same mistake I did. Mark these off your list and look elsewhere for a high-quality water floating device/noodle. These are junk.

Very dissatisfied with the product and even more with the company and how they handle their returns! Expensive noodles poor craftsmanship they were falling apart from when I open the box definitely do not waste your money

Great
