AN UNUSUAL REVIEW: People usually send me books, but the folks at Sumo Lounge emailed to ask if I’d review a beanbag chair. That’s not the kind of thing I usually do, but the Insta-Daughter had just been asking for one anyway, so I agreed. They sent me a review version of the Omni and I put it upstairs and let my daughter and her 14-year-old cousin who’s visiting for the holidays test it out.

I found the nylon covering a bit stiff (though happily, it should be easy to clean) but the girls pronounced it “fabulous” and seemed to really like it. (“Give them a great review” my daughter said.) If you’re looking for a beanbag chair, and don’t mind that it isn’t soft and fuzzy, you might give this one a try.
