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!

Charcoal Green and Pitch Black look really nice.
August 2nd, 2011 at 11:58 pm
I love the feature which allows me to run my cursor across the colors and watch the picture change. I’m attracted to the sunny orange color and I’m sure all the cats would be, too!

The Kitty-sized Beanbag from Sumo Urban Lounge Gear is so amazing! I have 6 cats and I’m sure that every one of them will take turns sleeping in this cozy bed. Can’t wait for my kids to see it.
August 7th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
The orange would have to be a must have. It would match my living room and my cat.
August 8th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
My kitties would definitely want charcoal green. It is so svelt and cozy looking. Everyone will have to take turns at catnaps.
August 9th, 2011 at 8:23 am
Pitch Black!
August 9th, 2011 at 8:37 am
Platinum would be perfect. Grover’s hair wouldn’t be seen and it would match wonderfully in my studio.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:03 am
With my home decor and my cat’s fur, pitch black would be the way to go. I hope we win.
August 11th, 2011 at 7:56 am
The Platinum color would match perfectly to my gray and white kitty
August 11th, 2011 at 8:34 am

OMG, My cat would love this. Izzy is a half tom cat half Siamese. I save her life 8 years ago. She wasn’t even a pound with her first vet visit and my vet wasn’t hopeful she would make it. Now eight years later Izzy is great and only about 5 pounds. Izzy loves her own space and this would be great for her!!!
August 13th, 2011 at 8:11 am

August 24th, 2011 at 11:18 am

September 15th, 2011 at 1:01 pm
cute, cute, cute
October 6th, 2011 at 9:43 am
The black kitty looks just like my Bravo – eyes that say Don’t mess with me. I’m sure he would take over the lounger.
October 6th, 2011 at 10:40 am
My Tanky and Katoomy would love this pillow. They would take turns jumping up and down on it. Lol. It would be nice to have in a beige. That way it would blend in with any decor in the house.
October 6th, 2011 at 10:42 am
My kitties and my feet would love this! Great design.
October 6th, 2011 at 11:20 am
Cricket, my 15 year old 6 pound black angora kitty, would love sitting on a giant pillow as she envisions herself as the queen of all she surveys. And as queen she is always in search of the throne that is equal to her status as queen. The Sumo Lounge Omni Chair might just meet her standards!
October 6th, 2011 at 11:22 am
my 14 cats would love to fight over a white one!!! a lesson in sharing would be warranted =^..^=
October 6th, 2011 at 11:41 am
my 3 kitties would probably all try to lay on this at once! I like the funky brown one.
October 6th, 2011 at 11:43 am
My golden tabbys would love the orange one, and so would I!
