Great cozy chair...buy with confidence!!!
I ordered this product based on its description. Thankfully, I did not read the few negative reviews first. I read all the negative reviews while waiting for the product to be arrive and I was a bit worried. It want to set the record straight...although, of course, this is just my opinion.
For those that complain that his or her butt is on the ground or the XL Fuf is flat and provides no back support...I have to wonder...did they let it fully expand? If you see a posted picture and the product has fabric that is sagging anywhere in the picture...that is because it has been photographed before it fully expands. If it is pictured as being flat, that is because because the person has not fluffed it up. If one complains that it provides no back support, most likely that person can not figure out how to sit in such a way so as to support the back. Mine provides perfect back support. When it gets flat or out of shape, I simply refluff it.
The "sharp" foam bits are not sharp. They don't poke you in the back or the rump after the product fully expands. It takes several days to fully expand so patience goes a long way.
Yes, it smells at first. I brought it outside during the day for the first 2 days and the smell was barely noticeable after 3rd day.
I especially enjoyed reading the review of the person that said the 6 foot XL Fuf was horrible and huge...so big that he can't move it, can't send it back, can't give it away, or even lug it to the street for the garbage. That review is what I would consider to be made by a dramatic person that never seems to be pleased...the complaints are ridiculously exaggerated to the point of being funny. It's just not true. I am a 5'3" female with a prior shoulder and neck injury, with a hip issue, and a healing torn thigh muscle. I have a small frame and I weight 117 pounds. I can move it by myself. I roll it on to a sheet and pull it around...even out the door...which I did several times while airing it out...
As for the fabic. It is not too thin. I drag this thing around and flip it. It is sturdy enough. So far it has held up given the abuse of my 3 cats, of my 2 XL dogs, and of the ones with most destructive potential...my son and his friends (diving on it, etc.)
As for the seams, no problem. The is no reason to even grab in that area. So, I'm not sure why others have a problem with that...
I leave this review hoping that someone that reads those negative reviews..and really wants to get the product...but becomes discouraged...will consider the number of stars rather than the reviews of the complainers. Who knows...maybe the product has been improved...but then again maybe there was never anything fundamentally wrong with the complainer's chair in the first place.
I use my XL Fuf to cozy up I front of the fireplace and read a book. It is perfect. I ordered the black one.
