48 customers mention44 positive4 negative

Customers are satisfied with the softness of the ladder. They mention that it is a nice thick material that seems like it will be a substantial barrier. The material is very heavy duty and they have no worries about it ruining the liner. The steps are sturdy and look good. The liner provides a thick cushion for the vinyl. The hand rails are flimsy and flexible. However, the rubber on the top is not soft.

"Bought to put under ladder of course and it kept moving and the kids would jump off ladder and moved it even more, I just thought I was too busy..." Read more

"...First off, it does NOT float. I threw it into the pool and it sunk directly to the bottom and stayed there, without anything holding it down...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the thickness of the ladder. Some mention it's super thick, heavy, and stays in place. Others say it'd be better if it was thicker.

32 customers mention18 positive14 negative

Customers are mixed about the flatness of the ladder. Some mention that it stays flat on the bottom of the pool under ladder and protects the liner well, while others say that the fold marks out and the material will not lay perfectly flat. The material has slight ridges where the folds are. The product comes rolled and won't stay flat on bottom of pool. The corners don't lay flat and dig into your foot.

"Good product!! Easy to put down and it stays down!!! Exactly what I was looking for...." Read more

"...I dont like that it doesn't stay flat on the bottom we have to keep any adjusting it to keep it in place" Read more

"...This helps it lay flat when installed." Read more

"Make sure you cut the corners to a rounded shape because the corners don’t lay flat and they dig into your foot...." Read more

It does works and it doesn’t float!

It does works and it doesn’t float!
Ok, I don’t get what all the bad reviews are about! Maybe they are old reviews and the ladder mat has improved, but all I can say is that, it works! It does exactly what it’s supposed to do! We just got a new pool installed, and the installer recommended that we get one of these. That was a surprise to me since we had a pool for 19 years without one, and never had a rip in the liner. But, I did some research and decided to try this one in spite of the bad reviews. First off, it does NOT float. I threw it into the pool and it sunk directly to the bottom and stayed there, without anything holding it down. Secondly, it is a bit thin, but why is that bad? It’s meant to act as a protection to the liner, not to raise the ladder. I’m glad it’s thin! Third, it’s the perfect size for an average ladder, (ours is a ladder that comes in off the deck.). I’m sure if you have pool stairs, rather than a ladder, this would not work. But if you read the measurements, why would you think it would? I’m sure there are bigger ones for stairs. So, if you’ve bothered to read this review, you must be considering purchasing this. Go ahead and do so! It will work for you! See my picture as proof!
