Introduction

Every once in a while in the tech review biz you just have to use your press credentials for something frivolous, something outlandish, something cushy. While most of the products we review here at TheTechLounge.com are bleeding-edge electronics it doesn't mean that we aren't sensitive to the softer side of things, and we don't mean Windows Vista.

So, when we were contacted by Sumo Lounge we couldn't help ourselves. I mean, first off their company name has "lounge" in the title. Obviously we had to show some solidarity to our similarly named brethren. Secondly, Sumo Lounge makes huge freaking bean bags!yes, bean bag chairs. And we review monkeys love us some loungin'.

You may have spied the Sumo Lounge Omni bean bag hanging out at such places as the Playboy Super Bowl party, the X-Games, the Sundance Film Festival and other TV programs. This designer humongo-cushion is making a name for itself. But calling it a bean bag really does discredit this lounge machine. Yes it is filled with polystyrene beans, but it is light years ahead of that old crusty thing your college roommate sleeps on. I'll be using my expertly tuned reviewing skills to tell you just how the Sumo Lounge Omni breaks the bean bag mold.

Digg this!

Who's the dood? Couldn't we have gotten a hawt chick to pose for the pictures like Sumo did?

Kurtis must have slept through the 'sex sells' part of his marketing class...

haha... i was going to have a girl model, but my brother happened to be over one day, so I said hey, might as well get the photos taken now. plus, you can see what a normal sized man looks like in the chair instead of a petite girl.

That's yer brother? I see no family resemblance whatsoever. Looks like he's about 5 inches taller and 40 (or more) pounds bigger than you!

I think we need a few more reviews of different colored Omnis... just to make sure they're all as comfy and durable as the one Brad reviewed... count me in for one. :P

I've seen those things before, I might have to add that to my list for Santa this year.

If we don't do a contest with Sumo Lounge, I might give you mine - just pay for shipping.

I must admit, that does look awfully enticing...of course I would have to fight the kids for it.

I still have a big green bean bag that used to be my grandpa's. It's so worn out now that I can't really use the thing without pieces of fabric falling off, but my brother and I abused the hell out of that thing when we were growing up. There's nothing like jumping off the back of a couch and onto your unsuspecting younger brother while he's watching Saturday morning cartoons and lounging on the bean bag when you're twen... err... ten years old. :)
