Sumo Bean Bag Reviews

Sumo Bean Bag Specifics

Sumo Lounge has been making bean bag chairs since 2004. They focus on traditional bean bag chair designs with bean bags both large and small to choose from. Some of their innovations have focused on their fill, which is their SumoFoam technology, which is micro-foam that adapts more than traditional synthetic beans. Most customers like their experience with Sumo Lounge's array of products, but there were some that had issues with long lasting comfort.

Below, we'll go through the details of their eight different varieties of bean bag chairs to discuss the ins and outs of their designs and what customers are saying. Below, find each of their popular bags reviewed, ranked largest to smallest.
