They do look great and most people would love one. However, do not think getting one will be easy. Especially if you do not live in the US or Canada. I live in London and ordered some Omni’s weeks ago. No one from Sumo contacted me yet and I have not received my purchases yet. I then discovered despite them having a UK website, e-mail and contact number and even physical address it is all a shell and all calls are directed to Canada. Don’t bother to use their e-mail address…no one reads it….think twice before you order from the UK…

The surface of the sun?

But we’ll still have the nicest residents of any city! (“Hey, hon! Could I get you some zinc oxide and a putty knife? You’ve got some skin showin’ there.”)

Ah – good point. We don’t have those kinds of problems here in Denmark, but with global warming, we may soon. God knows what Houston will be like then :o)

Yes, we have air conditioning everywhere. I’m pretty sure that there were about 5 people who lived in the Houston area before air conditioning. Now, we’re looking at around 4 million.

However, you can’t air condition away 95% humidity. You might get it down to a comfortable 40% – 50%, but it’s still there.

I’m pretty sure that they need to test in an environment like this. I mean, who knows how big the swamp market is?

John: Yeah, they do some good viral marketing. AND they have a good product. That’s a nice combination.

shel: It IS!

Stressedmanager: That looks REAL comfy :o)

Matt: Cool! For a meeting room, I’d go with a lotta Ottos. For lounging, I’d go Sumo. The Sumo is too comfortable for meetings – people would relax waaaay too much :o)

Jonas: I’m working a post on how to pimp your office – stay tuned :o)

Daniel: Good point. But then you guys have airconditioning everywhere right?

Sure…it *looks* comfortable, but I think it would be less so in Texas. Houston humidity and all…

Of course, I could be forced to test it if someone wanted to send me one. (hint–hint)

We’re soon to design our new office, we’re thinking about making a kinda crazy playground… we will consider involving theese sumo bean bags… it would be nice with more thoughts on how to design the optimum office for happiness at work.

What a coincidence, a friend of mine just bought the Sumo and Otto (no free stuff here), and I get to test them out regularly, and they’re great. The Otto is a nice complement to the Sumo because it acts as an ottoman (surprise, surprise).

I really like your vision of a meeting room filled with these or similar, and the Sumo isn’t all sloppy like regular bean bags, so they’d actually work really well. I might have to make this come true where I work…hmmm.
