What's Your Favorite Position?

Even if you have seen our patented twist on furniture, the Sactionals, you need to see this new video (below).  I understand that at first glance Sactionals appear just "neat sofas" that can be moved around.  But if you haven't seen them in real life, you will be surprised at just how tight they are and how good they look in person...the real thing seems to always exceed expectations.  I've said it before and I'm saying it now: This product will eventually become the "default" furniture for American TV rooms.  It is the only changeable, washable, FedEx-able, simple, extremely modular furniture that can be taken-home-today because of the way its small packaging allows it to be stacked/stored/stocked.  Watch the video past the first section to the part where it gets into the Sactional Positions.  Please leave a comment and let me know: what is YOUR favorite position?  I wanna know.

I honestly believe that this product is good for people.  It frees them from being stuck with their furniture in an elegant and affordable way. It is reliable and guaranteed for life.  I believe it will be the single-biggest furniture concept in the country once discovered, and our patents help to ensure that, but for now we are small.  We are not able to advertise.  Unless people happen to stumble into one of our little stores and experience these for themselves, they will never know they have this option....and most people who do end up regretting that they, "Just bought other furniture."  Often people even return their recently purchased sofas and come back to pick up Sactionals.  So help me get the word out!  Please forward this to your friends and family, because now LoveSac is small, but someday with your help, everyone will LoveSac.   WATCH THIS VID (ALL THE WAY THROUGH)....

ROLLED MY CAR INTO A RIVER

The LoveSac Rally Racing Team made its debut at the Idaho Rally this weekend.  We ALL entered the race knowing really only two things about Rally: Go fast & stay on the road.  Being that it was my first rally, my co-driver's first rally, and even my mechanic's first rally, I decided to make the pilgrimage first to my buddy, owner of LoveSac furniture, America's top Rally Car Driver & X-Games Gold Medalist, Travis Pastrana, for some Rally car tips at his house in Maryland over the 4th of July.  Unfortunately, between craning him out of his foam pit as he practiced his sick trick for the X-Games,  and getting cold-cocked by some rugby player that night in the chaos that follows fireworks & partying, all I could out of Pastrana was: "Go fast & stay on the road."  Well Trav, as my wife would tell you, I seem to listen to about half of anything.....we went fast, anyway.  

Hopefully the 2 videos below do a good job of explaining how the LoveSac Rally Fiero got upside down, into that river.  For any of you considering a career in Rally Car Racing I figured I would make this video in a way that would hopefully give you a glimpse into what the whole 2 day event is really like...as my YouTube Rally research only showed me a bunch of wrecks and some insane driving. There is so much more to rally it than that.  Tell me what you think, please COMMENT.  Check em out (stay tuned for the jump, crash, & slideshow at the end of day #2 video)...

A HUGE thanks to our sponsors: Action Auto in SLC (who prepped my car and now has to put it back together), Spoon Me Frozen Yogurt, Franchise Foundry, Caballo Negro Energy Drink (which our rally car practically runs on), Team DI for the sick fire-suits and gloves, Loomis Solar (WOW did those helmets and the WATERPROOF dash-cam ever come in handy), and of course LoveSac Alternative Furniture Co....who pays my life insurance, etc.

Not to mention a BIG THANKS to: Ryan Money, my co-driver for life, you are AMAZING dude...oh, and you saved my life.  Bill Talbot (Dirty Billy) who can fix anything on wheels.  Jeremy Back, who thought he was going on vacation only to find out that Rally is a team sport.  Joe Loomis & Jenna who always just show up and help out (not to mention hooked up our Rally suits in entirety). My parents, who came, volunteered, blocked the trail to vehicles for 12 hours and who STILL hate the idea of this whole thing.  My partners, Nancy, Ryan, and the rest of LoveSac HQ for tolerating me.  And most importantly the women in my life, Tiffany & Lucky Anne...THE coolest chicks on the planet.

LoveSac as a Baby Product!?

It is always fun to discover new (sometimes obscure) uses for our unique LoveSac products.  Here is a new one that is actually extremely useful for young parents, or parents with young children on flights.  Every parent knows that it is often difficult and embarrassing trying to keep a kid quiet on a flight across the country.  LoveSac is the solution:  It is likely that most of you aren't even aware that we make a product called the SpeakerSac Pillow.  The SpeakerSac Pillow is a TubeSac Pillow (neck-roll) with speakers in either end of it.  It has a magnetic snap, allowing it to snap on to most Sac Covers, instantly turning any LoveSac into the perfect game chair with surround sound, no AC power necessary!  

Anyway, I took the entire family west, yesterday, as Tiffany's sister is about to have her 2nd baby - making yet another cousin for our little Lucky Anne, who turned 1 year old about a month ago.  Lucky is a great kid, but, as any parent knows, kids don't exactly love to fly.  Actually, I don't think she has anything against flying really, but she definitely hates being trapped on a lap, in a narrow row, inside of a metal tube for 5 hours.  What she does like is Baby Einstein videos - she'll sit, staring for hours at these weird videos in content silence as long as she can hear them....but she is not about to sit there with headphones on - she is an infant, and just doesn't understand the concept of something bulky on her head.  

SOLUTION: Travel with a SpeakerSac Pillow, by LoveSac!  I'm taking the SpeakerSac with me on my trip to China this week as a sample to discuss with one of our factories.  But on the way, we plugged it into the laptop, played a Baby Einstein video with the volume low, hugged Lucky and the SpeakerSac Pillow, and she watched, quietly, for hours.  HA!  Who knew?  The SpeakerSac is a must-have for parents traveling with infants.  (The SpeakerSac Pillow you see pictured above is a limited-edition one that comes with the current "Inked" BigOne package, from LoveSac).

...just another of the 1001 uses for LoveSac in your life.

Hotel LoveSac: Using Sactionals as Beds!

The new HOTEL LOVESAC was constructed in less than 5 minutes and cost far less to build than the $1 Billion Yankee's Stadium we visited once they arrived.  My sister, Wendy, and her entire family came to stay with us on the East Coast this weekend--her first trip ever to the Big Apple and her kid's first time sleeping 100% on LoveSac furniture (parents took the guest room).  Check out how Sactionals and PillowSacs make absolutely perfect extra guest beds, in case you ever need one.  Here's how:

1. Have friends (or family). Or, as some have been known to do, use LoveSac furniture as your only furniture.  (Yes, my nephew, Tyler, is putting his Yankees ice cream helmet-cup on my dog).

2. Tuck in your Ottoman (lone Base Piece) into the L-corner of your Sactionals sectional.  Secure moste easily with clamp, alone. 

3. Move Back Pillows. Place mattress topper or blanket over cushions. Sactionals cushions are LoveSac soft, and definately large enough (roughly Queen sized) to sleep on.  A mattress topper to cover the cracks makes them softer than most beds!  Also, Sactionals Bases are flat on top, not sloped back/down like all other sofas...making Sactionals excellent guest beds.

4. Just add bedding.  My favorite are goose down filled comforters....available at LoveSac.com very soon, btw! 

5. PillowSac Rocker: multi-functional.

6. PillowSac guest bed by night.  Just place black Rocker Frame (upper left) on its side - stores easily.  Lay down on the PillowSac.  OR, the newest Khaki PillowSac Inserts from LoveSac are actually 1 foot longer than the Covers, making them exactly the size of a "Full" (or "Double") Mattress!  Take the Cover off and fit it with "Full" sheets. (shown below with Eskimo Phur Cover still on.

 

7. Just add guests. Matt & Jess out cold.

  

8. My dog chooses the Sac over any "real" bed any day.

PS: Don't forget to teach your nephews the lessons their parents won't: How to ride motorcycles and how to catch crabs.  :)
