If you have to pick one Sumo product, it’s really hard to say which one. I’ll try to summarize:
OMNI(original):
- Lightweight
- The least expensive Sumo
- Solid – holds shape on its own
- Highly configurable
- Doesn’t breathe well
- Deflates eventually (not dramatically)
- Noisy
SAC:
- Mega comfortable
- Also a good sleeper
- Not very configurable
- Most expensive Sumo
- Gigantic – takes up a ton of room
- Heavy, difficult to work with
OMNI PLUS:
- Mega comfortable
- You can sink into this sucker! It’s an amazing sleeper
- Highly configurable – although not as nearly as the original Omni
- Heavy
I hope that helps your decision. Each has a special place in our hearts at ICHQ, and each is used for different things when we have big crowds. People gravitate towards the Sac when they want to sleep or just take a quick relaxing breather. When people want to watch movies or play games, they tend to prefer the Omni or the Omni Plus.
I can’t recommend Sumo products enough. I mean seriously – what more can be said than “we got rid of an $800 couch because of them”? They rule. Everybody who comes over loves them. I recommend getting one of each style. We rarely ever do this, but because we personally believe in the value of this furniture, and in the interest of full disclosure and integrity, I will say that we signed on to sell them directly. If you wish to purchase any Sumo product, you can do so directly through Icrontic.
