Jul 1 2008Urban Lounge Gear: The SumoSac
From Sumo Lounge, the same company that brought us the Omni Chair, comes the SumoSac. I personally have one, and it's awesome. And I'm not just saying that because I want to get in good with the company so they'll send me that model's number, but I do think we'd make a good couple. Anyway, SumoSac review in three words: comfortable as hell.
I have the 6 foot model (top right, middle right), but they also come in 5 foot (top left, bottom right) and 4 foot models (bottom left). They'll run you $229, $199, and $179, respectively, and all come with free shipping.
An improved version of the beanbag chair, SumoSac is a more savvy, stylish & comfortable alternative. This product will never decompress & is truly the most comfortable chair in the world at 3ft. high & 6ft. wide covered in micro suede. Made with 100% shredded furniture grade urethane foam. Covers zip-off for machine washing.
They're really not lying about it being the most comfortable thing in the world. I've gamed in it, blogged in it, slept in it, passed out drunk in it, caught the pets curled up in it, gotten intimate with a lady-friend in it, and even hidden underneath it when my girlfriend came home while the aforementioned lady-friend was still there. Needless to say I pretended I was a big, soft-shelled turtle watching a catfight. Unfortunately, I couldn't operate the video camera with my flippers.
Hit the jump for a couple more pictures.

What's supposed to be revolutionary about a bean bag chair?

The price isn't bad. What is bad is how much m y pants have shrunk since I printed these pictures and posted them all over my cubicle.

Same as lovesac, nothing new.

Savy? Stylish?
It's still a f*cking beanbag chair.
And it still looks like a slightly nicer version of something a 9th grader has in his basement.

This would be cool, if the LoveSac hadn't already been out for 13 years

LovSacs are cool but if you look at that website #8 the equals size cost 3x the price!

Lovesac?
You mean the one that costs twice as much?
6' Lovesac costs $549 + $75.45 shipping = $624.45 delivered.
6' SumoSac costs $229 + Free Shipping = $229 Delivered.

I can get a beanbag chair at a garage sale for $1.50.
I also heard there was a company that will fill them with cow shit, put a big bow on them and then deliver them to your Ex.

Did they really have to call it sumosac? I mean it is a big droopy ball and to boot its covered in "fur". Not really appealing. Doesn't this conjur up unpleasant images for anyone else?

As tacky and as overpriced as those are, I did have the privilege of passing out blind drunk in one and Goddamn was that a fantastic night's unconsciousness. They are prone to drool stains however.

I have never gotten the appeal of beanbag chairs. Just one of those things I suppose.
15. Jumpin_J - July 1, 2008 3:20 PM
I've got a sac for that model, if ya know what mean... nudge nudge wink wink...
Oh god I'm so lame.
16. wes - July 1, 2008 3:56 PM
its called buying a lovesac cover and getting couch cushions and ripping them into little bits. That's what i did... it makes you appreciate the lovesac much more!
Lovesac cover: 70 bucks
Ripping by hand: 80+ hours
Hell yea!

@14 you just haven't used one correctly then...
19. Tiffany - July 1, 2008 5:32 PM
Yeah this is a luvsac, just tons cheaper. I'm not sure how to feel about this one cause I love the cheaper price, but hate the fact that they ripped the idea off.

There are different grades and quality for the available foam. LoveSac may cost more than SumoSac but it's quite possible that that's due to using superior quality materials. All just a guess of course, but a definite possibility nonetheless.

These must be comfortable. So comfortable that the model completely forgot to close her legs in every single picture. Or...wait...could it be possible? Are they saying that this chair makes women want to have sex? No, too obvious.
23. serene - July 1, 2008 8:35 PM
is there any way to sit on this thing without looking like you are .. as they say in the animal kingdom, "presenting"? How do dudes wear shorts around children?
24. Zack - July 1, 2008 9:12 PM
The superficial must have a deal with this company to promote their products as if its something that should be blogged about.

Fatboy are great too. They also have better chicks posing.

You're all missing the point here, that chick is extremely hot.

Good thing it's comfortable, because otherwise I don't know how you'd be able to sleep at night, Mr. Sell-out Geekologie Writer.
Ah, who am I kidding, if I were a professional blogger getting hooked up with SWAG, I'd pass off a can of tuna as a tech item.
