Fatboy Junior Cushion

Posted on Jul 21, 2010 by 1 Comment


What is a Fatboy Junior, you ask?

It is not a cholesterol-laden frankfurter, or a small overweight child. Think of a cross between a beanbag and a body pillow, and you’ve got a Fatboy Junior. It’s a big, comfy, cozy cushion that is fun and versatile.

Fatboy Juniors are 40 inches by 50 inches and can be used by kiddos in a variety of ways. It can be propped up on its short end and formed into a chair. It can be laid flat as a little bed or reading mat. It can be rolled up and used as a backrest. Fatboys are way cool!

The Fatboy Junior is made of a coated-nylon fabric exterior that is super easy to clean, and the interior is made of expanded polystyrene packaging pieces. It comes in more than 10 colors, so there’s a hue to match every room.

I really want a Fatboy Junior. Actually, I’d like two of these for our playroom. I can see my kids hanging out on these to watch movies, play video games or use in fort-building on rainy days. These would not be a decor item that sat in the corner unused – that is for sure!

What I really like about the Fatboy Junior is that it could be used by children of any age – a toddler to a teenager could cozy up in one and read, sleep, do homework or chat on the phone.

Fatboy Juniors retail for $149 at Design Public. Right now, shipping is free on orders over $50, which would be a huge savings for a large, bulky item like this! I think $149 is a great price on an item that you can keep around for years and years to come.

If you like the concept of the Fatboy Junior, keep in mind that Fatboy has other great home items, like a Fatboy for grownups, hammocks, doggie beds and handbags.
