You know, up until now, we've only reviewed all sorts of tech stuff here at Softpedia Gadgets, ranging from notebook computers to GPS navigators to digital and video cameras. However, back when we were still planning the launch of this special section for tech lovers, we kept pondering about just how interesting it would be for us to review something else than just gadgets, something that is related somehow to the world of technology, yet, on the other hand, is not exactly what we'd traditionally call a “gadget.”

Luckily for us, this opportunity appeared when the guys over at Sumo Lounge decided to send us one of their awesome bean bags, the Sumo Gamer, designed specifically to be used by kids of all ages (and by that we clearly mean grown-ups as well) as a lounger that would allow them to play their favorite game while sitting in a very comfortable position.

As you might expect, this is not the first bean bag we've ever tested, albeit all of the other ones were in much more personal environments, so we never really got to write about them. However, the Sumo Gamer was really a very nice surprise, from the moment we took it out of the bag and up to this moment, when pretty much everyone around the office is using it to relax, play a game and occasionally take a quick nap during lunch breaks.

And we're not necessarily talking just about the level of comfort it's able to provide here, but about some other features as well, such as the quality of the materials it's built from, the fact that it always gets back to the initial shape and that it's taken quite a serious “beating” over time, some of us even... dive-bombing of sorts onto it (in order to test its resilience, of course).

However, that's as far as we're going for now, and if you want to find out more about the Sumo Gamer, you'll have to go through all of the chapters of our review.
