Sumo set out to solve some of the minor issues with their old faithful Omni chair. The result is the biggest (and most comfortable) behemoth of a "bean bag" you've ever laid eyes (or butts) on. Meet the Sumo Sac (http://icrontic.com/articles/sumosac).

Both kids were playing video games on it last night, and when I woke up this morning it was missing. I think it got dragged off by the kids to sleep on somewhere... :p

We had it in the basement for the two weeks between the LAN and when we moved the couch, and I literally had to brace myself to not succumb and fall into it every time I walked past it because I knew I would be instantly asleep if I did.

a friend of icrontic. IF you had been at the LAN, you would know these things, and have met her.

Awesome, perfect timing to read your review, I was going to go out and look for a chair like this tomorrow, looks like you saved me the trouble and I'll get a great sac.

So, my one question is, could you get your link activated so I can credit you in on the purchase? Depending on how much I spend at the Applestore I may buy it tomorrow or later, I guess I could probably tell them I found out through you if you don't get hte link working before I buy.

Speaking of which, did you ever get the kickback from when Prag and I bought ours?

Think Mrs. Forster would allow me to move out the typical furniture for these? hmmmmm....

So are the people in these photos really small or something? I swear, mine is 50-60% that size, I wish I would have gotten one of the much bigger ones.

I slept on the rocker Sumo (rocker frame removed) and it was awesome. I slept better at EPIC than I do at home... and I am not joking.

The rocker was discontinued due to manufacturing issues, unfortunately. I'll tell them that the rocker pad was great for sleeping though :)

I just spent the morning recovering from my hangover on my Sumo. Mmm Sumo.

I have the Sumo Sac Gamer, it's soooo comfortable, I love it but I do wish it was much bigger. I'll buy one of the really large once someday.

I plan on getting one once I purchase and move into a house. Funny story, one of my coworkers was looking for beanbags, I tweeted a link to the sumosack site. They actually replied asking if I was looking to buy one and sent me a link to the Icrontic review! Amusing.

Enjoy! I am!

Also that is not what I would look like if I was a computer. There would be more processors and a few GX2s for arms instead of speakers.
