Comfort is key

I realize I’ve been the worst blogger ever.  Life is busy, and I haven’t had any specific inspirations.  Now I do.  I apologize.

Today, I received the most comfortable investment I have ever made: a Sumo bean bag chair.

Sumolounge.com makes some incredible products.  They have been recommended by many of the webcomics I read, and I have had the joy of experiencing one of their cheapest options (the Omni pillow) in massive piles at two PAX shows.  When I got my job (with my shiny grown-up salary) and my new apartment, I decided I would get one.  Well, then I had my car accident and lots of other random expenses, and it was shoved to the side.  For some reason, over Thanksgiving, I decided it was time to order one.

I decided to go with the new Sumo Sway Couple.  The new Sway chairs look more like actual furniture than a giant bean bag, as they have a little more shape.  I also went with a dark red corduroy to match the red accent wall in my living room.

When I got home from work today, I went to the main office of my apartment complex to pick up the giant box that had been delivered while I was at work.  Getting that thing from the office to my apartment was ridiculous.  It wouldn’t fit in my car, so I had to carefully transport it over to my building on top of the trunk.  There was a UPS guy delivering stuff who took pity on me and helped me get it to the front door.  Thankfully, this apartment actually has an elevator.  Seriously, look at the size of this thing:

 

You should have seen me dragging it down the hall

Then came actually getting it out of there.  It was fairly compacted in the box, and I had to be very careful cutting open the box and plastic bag so as not to slice into the chair.  I’m pretty bad about that kind of thing.

But because it is simply a bean bag chair, no setting up was required.  I set it where it needed to be and sat down.

Best. Chair. Ever.

This is seriously one of the most comfortable things ever.  I am in love with it.  I very much doubt I will be using my couch ever again.  It’s pretty much just for visitors now.  And because I went with the Couple size instead of the Single size, there’s even room to put stuff on either side of me.  Love.

Oh!  And it even has this cool pocket on the side where I can put stuff!  That was one thing I was not expecting.

I highly recommend apprehending one.
