Abstract: Applicant's invention defines a lounging cushion designed to be useful primarily around a swimming pool. Key features of this invention are it's utilitarian design allowing easy storage, floatation properties so that the cushion may be used for buoyancy, simple floatation or as a kick board, and the ribbed underside allowing for drainage of water underneath so as to eliminate any suction force between the pool decking and the cushion. The cushion's main purpose is to provide a seat area at poolside which will protect a bather from catching the fabric of his or her swimsuit on the rough or abrasive decking surrounding the pool, and therefore preventing excessive wear and potential ruining of the bather's swimsuit.
