"isn't the cushions still Styro Foam and not CLOSE CELL which is the stuff THONGS, thermal mattresses or HOPPERS are made of. "
[cool][#0000ff]You are referring to items made of FOAM RUBBER...not closed cell foam. I doubt that Styro foam was ever used for float tube seats. It is granular, prone to crumble and IT DOES have the potential to soak up water and disintegrate. "Closed cell foam", as in the attached picture, is used in many high tech applications for cushioning, insulation, etc. It will not degrade under any conditions...except extreme heat....enough to melt the other parts of your float tube.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I would not think of wearing a foam rubber thong. Regular wedgies are bad enough.[/#0000ff]
