plurality of grommets 16 at the first end 18 and a plurality of grommets 16 at the second end 20 the grommets 16 are adapted to receive suspension devices such as ropes such that when the suspension devices are secured to a structural support s such as a pair of spaced trees or hammock stand the buoyant cushion 10 is suspended in the same manner as would be a conventional hammock the cushion 10 may be suspended from a single tree limb and the user may sit thereon and swing if desired fig3 illustrates a chamber 22 defined by the buoyant cushion 10 housing a plurality of buoyant beads 24 the buoyant beads 24 partially fill the chamber and provide the buoyant cushion 10 with its buoyancy enabling the buoyant cushion 10 to support a user such as a human in a body of water to the extent that at least a portion of the human is maintained above the surface of the water as discussed above in one embodiment the buoyant beads 24 are constructed of a virgin polystyrene material the virgin polystyrene beads do not absorb water or resins and do not expand to the extent that the beads crack or separate as a result the beads are not prone to collect moisture or debris which reduces the probability of mold or mildew developing in or on the beads the buoyant beads are small in size such as having a 3 mm diameter such that the buoyant cushion 10 is substantially.
