Sumo Sultan Review
Matt | November 18, 2008 | 4:05 pmHey everyone, just wanted to write a short little review about a great product I received for testing a couple months ago.
This probably should have been posted a while ago, unfortunately as we all know life gets crazy sometimes, and you forget about shit.
So here’s the review of the Sumo Sultan.
I recieved one thanks to Andrew Milligan over at Sumo. Initially when he contacted me, we didn’t have carpet, none of our other belongings or any other furniture in the house.
Looking back, it wasn’t exactly the best time to get a giant bean bag, but I digress.
Getting the package into the front door was a little bit of an issue. This thing even wrapped up is massive. And it’s not even the biggest they sell!
Unpacking it was even more fun, and I must admit, more work than I thought it was going to be. The Sultan comes vacum packed in a cardboard box, and you need to break up the foam particles in order to expand it.
Now I say foam, but it really isn’t. Think of a foamy cotton material, but a very soft and comforatble foamy cotton.
Once you’ve got it all wrapped in it’s great suede outer shell, let it sit for a good 24 hours. Go to sleep and when you wake up and you’ll notice that it’s quite puffy and larger than it was last night. Go ahead and jump on it and begin to experience how amazing this giant blob is.
We had originally planned on purchasing a number of these units and replacing our couch with them, however it turned out that it wasn’t the greatest idea.
So in closing here’s some pro’s and con’s…
Pro’s
- Amazingly Comfortable
- This thing is big!
- Cover is very easy to throw in the washer and clean
Con’s
- Don’t think you’re going to use this as primary seating.
Thanks again to Andrew from Sumo Lounge for sending one of these out to test!
