Aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, wish it were bigger, though, August 12, 2009
I got the Fatboy for my office to relax for a quick after lunch nap or to be comfortable when reading a book or paper. Generally, I am very pleased with my purchase, the look is great, to color (dark grey), too; seems to be robust and durable, no complaints at all. Shipping/delivery was smooth, too. Came in a big cardboard box for protection and was (obviously) very light weight and easy to transport.
From the preview pictures, I did get the impression though, that the bag is bigger and filled with more 'beans', so you can actually sit at the same height like a regular office chair or at least a sofa. But is fairly low to the ground, which would be perfect, for a cosy home with carpet floor, and maybe more lounging and playing a video game or watching a movie.
So, my recommendation to you, make sure you get the right size, and if in doubt, go with the bigger one, I don't think the price is much higher.

Fun Times in the Fatboy, January 21, 2010
Very few things in life represent pure relaxation--but this is one of them. To me, it's a mini-vacation whenever I can spare a few moments. There is something about sinking into the Fatboy that takes your mind off your troubles and the tension out of your body. It's not a cushion or typical beanbag. Those resist your body to some degree and there is always some sort of pressure or inflexibility. This is more like a Tempur-Pedic mattress where it conforms to you and there is no such thing as a pressure point. It's a floating, suspended feeling like a Tempur-Pedic but more fluid in that it allows you to position yourself in all sorts of ways other than flat. The possibilities are endless. I wasn't always so thrilled about my Fatboy but it has grown on me. It's a great spare seat, ottoman or even a "mattress" for a child sleeping over. My only complaint is that it's not more affordable and that the filling wears down (compresses) and has to be refilled over time.

One of my best purchases, August 7, 2009
I'm a very critical shopper, and I uncharacteristically took a chance on the Fatboy without researching it exhaustively as I usually do.
I must say that it is one of the best purchases I've made in quite some time! It's seriously awesome: quite comfortable and enormous. I think it will be perfect for having a relaxing and supportive place to lounge around when I study.
Highly recommended.
