Conclusion:

Overall, I like Sumo Lounge Sway Couple beanbag chair very much. I don't believe that two adults would be happy sharing it for too long, but it is very comfortable for a single adult to sink into and veg for a few hours.

These definitely aren't your traditional beanbag chairs, and they really do have a stylish appearance. Since this is a new breed of beanbag chair, you won't feel embarrassed when guests come over and see it in your living/family room.



On the downside, you really do need an ottoman with something like this. Sumo Lounge sells a beanbag that could be used as an ottoman on their website for $75.00 a pop, but my husband and I got a cheap one locally. Being able to raise your legs up adds to the comfort of the chair, so maybe Sumo Lounge will have a chair/ottoman combo deal at some point.

The only other thing is that it is bulky. The packaging is cumbersome and it took help getting it out of the box and maneuvered where I wanted it.

The Sumo Lounge Sway Couple currently starts at $279 for microsuede and $299 for corduroy and they are available directly from the manufacturer. That is definitely a chunk of change for a beanbag chair, but it is definitely a nice beanbag chair. Sumo Lounge does include free shipping on these, and given the size and weight that is definitely appreciated.

I give the Sumo Sway Couple lounger the Bigbruin.com "Recommended" award for being a great, comfy chair for lounging, reading, or watching TV. Had the price been a bit more reasonable, it might have earned the highly recommended award - but then again, you get what you pay for and good quality costs money.
