I’m tired of reviewing stuffy bank products. How about some cool urban furniture instead? I was sent both a Fiery Red Omni and Otto Chair courtesy of Andrew of SumoLounge for review, and here it is!

At first glance, it just seems like a bean bag chair. But has your beanbag chair been featured at the Sundance Film Festival, MTV’s Real World and HGTV, and at the same time able to withstand the wrath of a 100-lb Bernese Mountain Dog who likes to dig? I think not.

Omni

The best way to describe the Omni is a premium bean bag chair gone trendy. It truly is the best bean bag I’ve ever sat on. Offered in a bunch of cool colors from black to hot pink, I really don’t know why but the Fiery Red totally called out to me.

I say premium because it is made with “space age rip-proof nylon”. I don’t know what NASA thinks, but the material is definitely high quality. Think North Face backpack material. My Bernese Mountain dog buddy likes to sleep on it, but also tries to rip it open beforehand. What’s with dogs and digging before sleeping? Anyhow, the material held up great, and you can just wipe any doggie dirt off with a wet towel. Berner-Approved!

Are traditional bean bag chairs filled with beans? Well this ain’t, as I found out when I opened the zipper out of curiosity. It’s filled with billions of tiny little styrofoam beads, which make it reasonably light (18 lbs.) and also more comfortable than I remember my childhood beanbag chairs to be.

Yes, it’s just plain comfortable. Really! Maybe a bit too comfortable, as I keep falling asleep on it while trying to study. Okay, so I was surfing WiFi… I’m not a gamer, but I can just see this as the perfect chair for those XBox-jockeys.

What I really wish I had this for is when I lived in college dorm. I mean, who doesn’t want to sit in a bean bag chair? Definitely would help making your room the place to hang out! It’s a good size (4.5 x 5.5 ft) so two people can fit.

Otto
Surprisingly, I actually use the cylindrically-shaped Otto the most out of the two. Mainly because the dang dog is always on the Omni, but also as it lower than the coffeetable and more comfortable to put my feet on. It’s made of out of the same material and filling as the Omni.

No, my little dog doesn’t hang out on the Otto. I just make him sit and there and take pictures because I’m mean 🙂 But it does serve as an extra seat when my wife has her friends over to watch The Bachelor. Ack!

Prices
Starting at $129 including shipping for the Omni, these ain’t cheap. But they are really nice. The Otto is $75 with free shipping. It’s backed with the following guarantee, which even covers return shipping.

Comments

  1. Jonathan – just a heads up – you rss feed is corrupted again.

  2. Thanks for the heads up. Was it down all day? It’s fixed now, although I don’t know what was wrong.

  3. It seems like a perfect fit for a college dorm.

  4. Are they paying you for advertising their stuff. I can’t beleive this comes from the guy who also suggest buying low cost nutual funds. Do you really think its worth the price.? (for dog or human)

  5. $129 for a beanbag. That seems like a lot of money. The guarantee is good but then I am not the type that like to return stuffs unless it is broken.

  6. Would I buy one myself? Did you really have to ask that? No, of course not, I’m cheap. Didn’t you read my last post on Ziploc Bags?! 🙂 I’m a guy who gets my wife to cut my hair. I said it was the nicest bean bag I’ve ever sat on, which it is! Think of it as the BMW of bean bags. It’s a premium product, and everyone has to decide whether it’s worth it for themselves.

    This review is like any other that I do. I was not paid, but I did get a free copy of the item. I also always ask the reviewee to try to provide an additional item for one of my readers.

  7. Stay tuned for more MoneyBlog right after this important commercial for the SumoLounge chair!

  8. woah. your dogs are huge now.

  9. The Berner isn’t mine forever, I’m just looking after her for the time being.
