of any appropriate shape and dimension the coilable spring also has memory such that is biased to return to its uncoiled configuration when not held in the coiled configuration stretched across the coilable spring is a flexible panel of material the flexible panel can be one continuous piece or can be made up of several different types of material in a preferred embodiment the center portion of the flexible panel is mesh to allow water to flow through while the perimeter edges are nylon or polyester at the edges of the flotation device the material is a double thickness forming a pocket around the perimeter of the flotation device in this pocket are one or more inflatable chambers one inflatable chamber may surround the entire perimeter of the flotation device or it may be divided into two or more inflatable chambers with each inflatable chamber having a means for inflating and deflating the inflatable chamber in a preferred embodiment one inflatable chamber is specifically designed to accommodate the user 39 s head in this embodiment the pocket formed by the material is wider along a small portion of the perimeter of the flotation device to allow for a wider inflatable chamber this will prevent the user 39 s head from sinking below the rest of the user 39 s body the size of the inflatable chamber can vary significantly and need only be as wide as necessary to support the user 39 s body weight a preferred embodiment includes an inflatable chamber which is 3 inches in diameter when inflated the inflatable chamber can be made from any appropriate float material.
