Unfortunately the inner liner ripped with less the a weeks use. We're talking normal flip to fluff use. Sure I suppose I could return it, but how? I can't compress it again.
I purchased this item because my son has an autism spectrum disorder. He loves it!! He spends time on it after school and this is also where he chooses to sleep. The bag can be shaped into any form he desires. He can sandwich himself in by folding it in half, sit in it like a bean bag chair or lay it flat for sleeping. It is also heavy enough for him to lie underneath it for deep pressure input. It has been one of the best "sensory integration" purchases I have made!
I bought this pillow for my kids for christmas as an alternative to two bean bags for their play room. It was easy to assemble, it expanded just like the instructions said it would, and we all enjoy laying in it. My kids are 12 and 6 and they can both sit comfortably together on it to play video games or to watch a movie. My 12 year old has already taken naps in it:) I think it was the best choice for the money.
It is very comfortable. We sit in it happily for hous at a time.
This product is easily assembled and it took only a few days to expand to its full length and width. My only problem with it is that it does not match the dimensions listed. I am 5'7" and when I lie on the "pillow" my legs hang over the edge from mid-calf down. Still, it's very comfortable to lie or sit on, and if it starts to feel uncomfortable, you can just turn it 1/4 turn and start over. My dog doesn't like it; perhaps she thinks it smells funny; there was a noticeable odor when I received it, but that has dissipated over time. It can be difficult to get out of because there is nothing to push on and your body is so close to the floor. Overall, it is a good deal.
Keep static cling spray handy and use freely. when putting it together. Messy but not horrid. The sacs themselve are awesome for kids to lay on and I am glad I got them. Kept looking at them trying to decide and finally jumped in and did it. Great choice. Well work the money. I have teenagers and they love them too. They are much bigger than I thought. So I use one in the game room and one in the family room and move them for more seating when needed.
I somehow missed the assembling part in both the reviews and the online description. Silly Me! I thought it would come rolled up like a futon mattress I ordered. Nope, this came in a large box with 2 tightly bound bags of stuffing and the inside cover and the outside black coverlet. I did follow the instructions and opened up the bags of bits of foam into the inside cover and attempted to "moosh" them around. Yet, like the directions said it can be mooshed over a weeks time. It didn't take that long, but took up space in the living room during the 4 day process. In the end it turned out nice and super comfy. I had made a frame for it out of 4x4s and covered it with a plush cover, so I have something washable if any messes happen. After the initial disappointment and the troublesome assembly process, I'm pretty pleased with it. Just wish I had been forewarned is all.
We recently purchased the black pillow sac and was amazed how quickly it showed up. We had read a lot of the reviews and are not really sure how people had a hard time getting the pillow sac set up and expanded. The directions were clear, the inner lining seemed in-tact, and it poofed up over the course of 2 days. I can totally see how you could use it as an extra "bed" for a kid -- it is VERY comfy. That being said, we are still trying to figure out how to get it to set up as a chair-type of configuration. Still, we really like having it and were glad that prior reviews warned us of its size (otherwise we would have been surprised). Oh, one thing about the black fabric. It shows (and seems to attract!) a lot of dust from the floor or carpet. Not a big deal. just a heads up -- maybe the tan or green wouldn't show as much lint-type stuff. Several of our friends and family who have seen the sac have asked where we got it and gone home to order it. It is great for our family ( 2 adults and a very active 8 year old boy who loves to jump on it from the trampoline).
We got this after a friend from Germany raved about the Fatboy bean bag he had. This is less expensive and seems to be pretty similar. However, it's not very practical. We bought it to use in our bonus room, for a low key chair and/or a comfy bed for overnight guests. I think it will work well for the second, but I'm not too impressed with it as a seating option. It doesn't seem to hold the positions well and it's a struggle to get it just right. When we're not using it, it's very massive and takes up a lot of floor space, as we can't seem to get it to stay in any position but big and flat unless someone is sitting in it. I think it will be fun for our kids as they get into toddlerhood and beyond, but it's not very practical for adults and it takes up a LOT of floor space.
man i love this pillow. i use it for my pillow room, or you can throw it on top of a really uncomfortable bed and it makes it so nice! it was pretty easy to set up, i had one of my man-friends help though. it was kiiinda really heavy. but, not hard! i love it!
The product was easy to assemble and is very comfortable. It has made a great guest bed for children.
I bought this item to entice my daughter off our very comfortable love seat, which she tends to monopolize during tv time. Well it worked. (almost too well, because now it becomes a bit competitive to see who can get to it first.) The foam filler comes compressed/shrink wrapped and my daughter & I had a lot of fun assembling it as we watched it expand before our eyes. It is huge, big enough for an adult male! My husbands only complaint was that after awhile it got a bit too warm because it's like sitting in a big marshmellow. I ordered the olive color, and like it. It's a very dark olive which will hide the eventual wear, and the dark color camouflage's the black zipper better. My only suggestion is, if they change the design in the future, hide the zipper under a flap of material to give it a cleaner appearance. I would definately reccommend this item if you have the space, but I must warn you, you will not want to get out of it once you sit in it, and may run the risk of becoming a serious pillow potato!
this product is comfy however i don't know how they measure but as far as i can tell it is NOT 5'x6' it is also increadebly hard to move and if you are dissatisfied how do you send it back i cant commpress it again.
