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 like the charcoal green. my 2 furbabies would love to fight over this cool bed!
July 29th, 2011 at 5:41 am
Who wouldn’t love Neon Orange?
July 29th, 2011 at 5:47 am
Penny and I would love to see the blue (or any color if it’s sold out!) in our home. She’s going belly up about the idea right now on the desk (and about her brushing)
July 29th, 2011 at 5:50 am
My four kitties think the orange would give them a lovely place to perch.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:54 am
Would LOVE to get this for the Fluff, question is, would he use it. I’m guessing maybe.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:56 am
I can totally see my 4 kittens Maxi, Jack, Pippa, Zoe (3 ½ months old) and my 22 years old black/white cat (Tommy) laying and napping on a platinum bean bag.
July 29th, 2011 at 6:01 am
This looks perfect for putting next to one of the windows, so Saru-chan could look over the room and through the window. It would have to be the dining room though. No matter how bulletproof the fabric, I’ve never noticed anything to be dog-teeth proof. I’d love the platinum best. It is stylish, classy and classic all at the same time.
July 29th, 2011 at 6:04 am
The pitch black! My kitties would be fighting over it!
July 29th, 2011 at 6:14 am
we like the grey one, but really all the colors are great!
they look really comphy
July 29th, 2011 at 6:15 am
I have a moderncat that would LOVE this in green!
July 29th, 2011 at 6:21 am
The blue one would compliment my cats! A nice visual contrast with mounds of orange, sleeping tabbies would be a perfect addition to any living room.
Not to mention that then they could stop fighting over our single perch.
July 29th, 2011 at 6:22 am
Noah and Bodhi agree, the Neon Orange is their fav!
July 29th, 2011 at 6:33 am
My three would love the neon orange one!
July 29th, 2011 at 7:02 am
I am sure my cats would be fighting over this, but would love to have one in Charcoal green. They look great!
July 29th, 2011 at 7:09 am
Penelope batted the screen when I clicked on pink so I have to go with that
July 29th, 2011 at 7:18 am
I think the charcoal green is gorgeous.
July 29th, 2011 at 7:21 am
Kind of like it best in white. Sure looks like something my catbrats would love and if they didn’t too bad so sad I get a nice foot stool…lol. But looking at it I’m sure the brats would be lining up for a nap, they are so spoiled!
July 29th, 2011 at 7:25 am
Ursula would look purrfectly pretty on Neon Orange! Great product! Very versatile for any space.
July 29th, 2011 at 7:27 am
Ricochet would love it in any color! It’s soft and high off the floor where kitties feel safe.
July 29th, 2011 at 7:29 am
I would choose the midnight blue.
July 29th, 2011 at 7:33 am
Definitely platinum! Won’t show as much cat hair as the darker colors for my mostly light haired crew!!
July 29th, 2011 at 7:39 am
my cats would love the charchol green , they would simply love lounging around on it, but i think my orange 20 pound mylo would hog it all to himself,,,,,,,,,,,
July 29th, 2011 at 7:41 am
My boys would love to get comfy on the green beanbag!
July 29th, 2011 at 7:43 am
my girls would love the Hot Pink one
July 29th, 2011 at 7:46 am
Red! Cuz I have some kitties who are passionate about their sleep spots
July 29th, 2011 at 8:07 am
My all-white kitty likes to be camouflaged… we like the white one as pictured.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:14 am
My Prince Harry would love this bean bag of fluff! He’d lounge in style by the window in the afternoon sun.
Beautiful!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:16 am
Love this beanbag ottoman!! I’d pick blue.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:17 am
My kitty lovesss to leave her fur on white clothes, a white beanbag would be heaven!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:18 am
I’d have to go for platinum for sure!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:18 am
I love the platinum one!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:21 am
Every kitty deserves an Otto Bean Bag of their own!
Hot Pink for my girls, Mattie and Sammy.
Purrrr!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:29 am
I need 4 of them! One for each and NO fighting. =) Lovely
July 29th, 2011 at 8:32 am
These are fantastic! I’d have to go with the black or gray version.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:35 am
You can never have enough cozy things for my kittys she would love this I just know it!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:36 am
Hard to choose between neon orange, hot pink and white! I think we’ll stick to basic white
July 29th, 2011 at 8:37 am
We think black would be great!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:46 am
Red!!!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:51 am
I would love to have a red one as a punch of colour in my white living room!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:54 am
Fun! Tough choice. I like both the orange and platinum but I’ll go with the platinum. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
July 29th, 2011 at 8:58 am
red, black or white. If we are lucky enough to win, some hard decisions will need to be made.
July 29th, 2011 at 9:00 am
We would LOVE to have this in green. I’m sure all 3 cats would pile on together.
July 29th, 2011 at 9:02 am
We would have to pick Black as our 2 Cats are both Orange and White so then we would have a great contract and besides those are Halloween Colours… We will be all Set!! GREAT Looking Chair and Comfy!

July 29th, 2011 at 9:04 am
Darker colours would go great in our livingroom and my daughter would love it! My guess is that so would our 2 little dogs! Then the contest will be on as to who wins. We may need several!
July 29th, 2011 at 9:05 am
I love the colours pink and blue so I would be REALLY HAPPY with either of those! TERRIFIC!
July 29th, 2011 at 9:06 am
I am a blue person generally, though black would look great on our laminant flooring and it would save alot of scratches with the grandkids. Thanks!
July 29th, 2011 at 9:07 am
Great idea! Looks like a comfy place to hang in style. I’m liking both the platinum and the orange. My cat would be real happy to have a new hang out on the Sumo.
July 29th, 2011 at 9:08 am
Looks great to put my feet up on! Nice offer and the colour I would pick is something dark like brown or black as it will stay looking cleaner that way! though I really like the Burgandy to! So many choices!
July 29th, 2011 at 9:13 am
The platinum would look great with our beautiful grey and white kitties!
July 29th, 2011 at 9:16 am
My favorites are the fiery red and white ones. All 3 of my cats would be fighting over such a lounge magnet.
