A trick that every packrafter does: fold the neoair (or other brand) sleeping mat to work as your seat. This saves you the weight of the seat, but has more advantages. It is a very warm seat, because of the insulation in the therm a rest, you are a bit higher and drier, it saves you inflation time when setting up camp. For my medium Xtherm it is best to sit on a double layer and have a single layer in the back. I can imagine that if you do rough wild water you would want to sit on a single layer for added stability, but being higher up makes that you can do a more powerful stroke in your packraft. A size S I would just fold double. Also, coolest thing, the blow bag of the packraft also fits the Neoair! That is excellent double function.

A few things you may want to know:
My packraft is an Anfibio Sigma. https://www.packrafting-store.de/Pack...
And that is a double, but they also have singles and one-and-a-half packrafts.
My vest is the Secumar vivo 50, the paddle is 220, comes apart in four pieces and is also by Anfibio.
