Sumo SumoSac Bean Bag Chair

Written by DM on Sunday, June 29 2008

Before we go on, I have to talk about the actual “beans.” Usually, bean bag chairs are filled with little, white, round, sphere-shaped Styrofoam pieces. This is not the case with the SumoSac. This chair is top-notch all the way, even the insides. The filling is made up of packing-peanut shaped furniture-grade urethane foam. This is akin to that “memory foam” material that has become popular in the last few years. This means when you plop down on the SumoSac, the comfortable butt-dent you sit in should still be there when you come back!

The Inner Sack With The Urethane Foam Beans

While all the above “features” of the SumoSac are great, they are all moot if the chair itself is not comfortable. Not that I really had any fears about this being true, but stranger things have happened. Fortunately, that first sit was great. If you enjoy sitting down and having every part of your body cradled, then this SumoSac is for you. Me and my sister both sat in the chair at one point, and there was ample room. My sister slept in the chair one night as well, and she was not even trying to, the SumoSac is just that comfortable. Factor in the fact that I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis, as many of you know, and just the simple fact that I can sit in the chair without having to get up after a few minutes is a very big endorsement in and of itself.

Of course, this would not be a GR “review” if we did not mention any drawbacks the product had, however small they might be. The one sticking point of the SumoSac is price – it will cost you around $200 USD. We know this may sound like a big chunk of change, but if you count the fact that you will not have to replace this chair for years, it does reduce the shock value of the price somewhat. If you factor in the price of a WalMart or Target bean bag chair that must be replaced every year or two, due to dirt and “wear and tear,” the money will eventually start adding up. The SumoSac you can keep for years, as I said, and if dirt strikes, you simply wash it or I would bet you could even contact Sumo, who may replace your covering, should it need replacing.

The SumoSac bean bag chair is one of the most unique and impressive products that we have had the chance to review. I was pretty excited when Sumo asked us to review their new SumoSac, as I had seen promo shots of the Sumo products used at such events as the 2008 Much Music Video Awards, Z100's Zootopia, the E For All Expo, and other big events. I am glad we did get the chance, as Sumo has made a great product that deserves exposure. Yes, the initial monetary layout may be a bit steep, but the fact that you will own this chair for years to come, and the fact that it is made of high-quality components, more than offset the price tag. We certainly recommend the SumoSac to anyone who wants to add a great-looking, chic, comfortable, and quality piece of furniture to their living space.
