When the folks at Sumo Urban Lounge Gear contacted me to see if I wanted to test one of their awesome beanbags, I immediately spotted their Otto model because it’s the perfect size for a cat. Designed to serve as an ottoman, or as extra seating, this little beanbag has proven to be a cat magnet. The second it came out of the box, everyone lined-up to take their turn. Luckily I had the camera ready!
Ando was (of course) the first to try it out. He quickly realized that it conforms to his body shape and he settled right in. I though he would jump down, but there he stayed. When he finally left the Otto, I noticed that the foam beans retain body heat quite nicely. Of course he liked it — it’s toasty warm and super comfy!
Theo gave it a test, then MacKenzie took over and curled up into a fuzzy cat ball for a nice nap. It’s the perfect size (about 19.5 inches in diameter) and just the right height (about 15 inches tall) to keep kitty up off the floor so she can survey the room, and swat at passers by.
The best part is the fabric. It comes in a variety of bold colors and it appears to be bullet-proof. Seriously, this fabric can withstand anything! And all you have to do to clean it is wipe it down with soapy water.
Sumo Lounge makes all kinds of other shapes and sizes of beanbags, all of which I’m sure would be a hit with the kitties. Heck, I’m thinking about getting rid of all my furniture and filling my whole condo with these!

I love this bed and I´m sure my kitties love it in white!
July 28th, 2011 at 10:49 pm
I would pick neon orange. Thanks!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
Neon orange! Kitty should stand out!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
I’d go for the orange, I guess. I know this company is for hip young things, but I’d prefer to have some options in the brown family–maybe brown isn’t hip?? But I’m sure my cat would enjoy the beanbag, especially if it stands up to kneading…
July 28th, 2011 at 11:08 pm
The charcoal green would fit right in with my living room, now the cats will just have to fight me to sit on it!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
I love this! And the kitties would, too! Charcoal green for us, please!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
That would be great for my cat Sumo! Sinnamon and Suki would enjoy it as well, I’m sure, we won’t tell them Sumo’s name is already on it.
July 28th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
I love the blue one know my cats would love it also
July 28th, 2011 at 11:36 pm
Platinum please!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
HOT PINK all the way!! My cat, Pixie, will surely love this!!! Thanks!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Green would be keen. And we’d have to acquire a second one, in neon orange, because multi-cat households like ours need at least two Ottos.
July 28th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Not sure one would be enough!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:53 pm
I would pick black.
July 29th, 2011 at 12:00 am
I like black the most.
July 29th, 2011 at 12:01 am
love, love the white for my 4 girls!!!!
July 29th, 2011 at 12:06 am
Purrfect…so many cool colors but i’d have to go with platinum..meow.
July 29th, 2011 at 12:13 am
Orange please. Picture it occupied by a pitch black cat!
July 29th, 2011 at 12:17 am
I like the platinum. Not only does the color appeal to me, but cat hair would be less visible on platinum than on the other colors.
July 29th, 2011 at 12:42 am
Green, so the boys’ furniture matches ours!
July 29th, 2011 at 12:52 am
That charcoal green is wonderful. I may have to order one for myself. That is if I win one. Otherwise I’ll have to get two and hopefully my cat will let me use one!
July 29th, 2011 at 12:57 am
Stylish and comfortable – I like it and I’m sure Miez, Peanut and Teddy would like it too.
July 29th, 2011 at 1:04 am
Just love these. Any color would be great, if I had to pick I’d say white or black. Thanks so much.
July 29th, 2011 at 1:20 am
Black, for sure. Three of my cats are black.
July 29th, 2011 at 2:06 am
My kitties, Splinter en Bliksem would love the gray one. And i would two;)
July 29th, 2011 at 2:17 am
My girls would love to cuddle and play on one of these. Hard to choose between neon orange, white, or platinum. I hope we win
July 29th, 2011 at 2:29 am
Cricket would love the Pitch Black one…then she could be stealthy and blend right in!
July 29th, 2011 at 2:30 am
i like neon orange!
July 29th, 2011 at 2:33 am
This one looks super comfy for the kitties! My boys would love a midnight blue one!!
July 29th, 2011 at 2:35 am
Pitch Black
July 29th, 2011 at 2:46 am
Mort and I really like the orange one. Looks comfy!
July 29th, 2011 at 3:22 am
My kitties have no color preference – they just want to try out this comfy looking bean bag chair!
July 29th, 2011 at 3:27 am
We like the Firey Red! Your cats seem to really enjoy it, i’m sure mine would too
July 29th, 2011 at 3:37 am
Fiery Red, my favorite color and matches my living room!
July 29th, 2011 at 3:53 am
I would love to have the neon orange colour for my puss cat.
July 29th, 2011 at 3:59 am
If my kitties had the blue bean bag, they would never be blue themselves.
July 29th, 2011 at 4:08 am
The midnight blue would set off my gray striped kitty nicely!
July 29th, 2011 at 4:21 am
“Mia” says black
July 29th, 2011 at 4:25 am
I’d get a red Sumo. My apartment was professionally designed and featured in Time Out New York and has a 60s modern/natural elements feeling. My accent color is red and the Sumo Urban beanbag would fit in perfect with my decor. Plus my adorable new Siamese kitten would adore it. I am terribly allergic to cats but I am making as many accommodations as I can to make my beautiful kitty as well as myself as happy as we can be!
July 29th, 2011 at 4:40 am
My boys would love the midnight blue Otto!!!
July 29th, 2011 at 4:44 am
Wow! We would LOVE to have the gray one.
July 29th, 2011 at 4:53 am
I have a big white Fatboy so a small white Sumo will look great!
July 29th, 2011 at 4:55 am
Kitties would be very stylish w/ a Platinum bean bag.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:02 am
“mini” would love a green otto
July 29th, 2011 at 5:03 am
My babies would like platinum please!
July 29th, 2011 at 5:08 am
Charcoal green, please; to match all my kitties eyeballs! What a great picture that would make!
July 29th, 2011 at 5:12 am
My Layne says orange goes with his stripes.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:22 am
My kitties would love to have a white one to lounge on.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:32 am
OMG it looks like you entered my house to take these pictures, I have the exact same kitties at my home. They would love to have this great relaxing bed. Any color suits me since it is really for the kitties enjoyment. Nice piece of furniture too. Thanks.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:33 am
Love the white! Perfect backdrop for a rainbow of kitties.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:33 am
Lovin’ the neon orange for my tabby and tuxedos!
