    I have a love sac movie sac. It has a special cthulhu cover that came with it. It cost about $500. It came with a lifetime warranty. It also came with an ottoman that is called a squatomon. The two items are really comfy. Super comfy. However they are difficult to eat or do much of anything besides watch tv. I am 6 feet tall and do not fit comfortably with another person unless they are quite petite. And then not really for a whole movie. They are fun though.

    Love sac makes a bigger model that is designed for two. It will cost more than 300

    When the squatomon broke because a fat person jumped on it, I sent them a photo of the busted part and they sent me a new one free. So the warranty is good! I like their company and product. It was more than you wanted to spend. I hope this helps.

    Pretty sure this is what I had in college. Everyone I roomed with bought one after trying mine.

    I own the Lovesac Citysac with a suede like cover and it is wonderful to sit on.
    A plush suede plus memory foam filling really is luxurious.
    But the Citysac size is only meant for one person and it was not cheap.
    Even still, I'd suggest finding a Lovesac showroom in a local mall, and go sit on one yourself.

    I have a Lovesac that served me well for about four or five years, but it is no longer in service because all the life went out of the foam. I remember wanting one for a long while, but balking at the $500 price point for the larger ones. Surprisingly, I went into one of their shops in a mall and ended up buying one of the larger models for like $250 out the door. I don't remember if they were having a sale or if the salesperson just decided to hook me up, but the memory foam is rediculously, fantastically comfortable. If the other ones you linked use similar foam I would just get whatever is in your price range, but it would not hurt to go talk to somebody in store and just see if they can hook you up.

    Lovesac makes some fantastic products, but the website is going to make nearly all of it look to be outside of your price range. Definitely check a store if you have one in your area. Also, their couches are phenomenal. If you're concerned about a sac, you could look into getting just a couple sactional pieces and sit on those. Super comfortable and rock solid.

    I'm not kidding, that $200 one, when I bought it at least, was as good as a lovesac.

    I've owned two Chillsacs and had several firends with Lovesacs. They are exactly the same.

    Oh, and they were amazing. I've had to sell them when moving and shed several tears each time. If it was socially acceptable my entire living room would be nothing but two large Chill Sacs.

    I had a sumo that I loved until it deflated ,and the refill beads certainly seemed expensive if it was going to be an ongoing thing.

    My husband and I got a pair of sumos as a gift.

    Something to consider is that beanbag chairs that surround your body will trap all the heat.

    The sweat caused the dye from someone's jeans to rub off on the material and now our red sumo has a stain shaped like a butt. :bigfrown:
