The concept was born out of the idea of a cushion that would allow you to totally let go, anytime, anywhere. You can put this on and chill out in your living room or loads of other places. That’s why we created it.

“It makes you a little heavy around the middle,” one user said. “But, it’s good fun.”
“It was lighter than I thought, and it’s warm,” another buyer said. “I think, in winter, you’d feel pretty toasty after putting this on.”
The wearable bean bag was made available for purchase earlier this year. It sells for about $120 and comes in kids, medium and large sizes.
