Whenever I see ‘Fatboy,’ I misread it as some sort of marijuana reference. And then I imagine that it’s a nickname for someone’s spouse—because there’s that totally-useless-for-reading-in-bed reading-in-bed pillow called a husband.
Then I start fantasizing about how fantastic it would be to sink into a ginormous, overstuffed Fatboy pillow and watch TV. By myself. With nobody asking to change the channel so he can see the news, and nobody pushing random TV buttons because he just learned to press buttons and thinks it’s fun, and nobody doing an adorable-yet-spastic toddler dance in front of the screen whenever that smooth-talking bee from the Nasonex commercial comes on.
If the mere name of this giant beanbag inspires such flights of fancy, imagine what a four-star experience it must be to have this thing in your home. The full-size Fatboy is available in bright, cheerful Marimekko patterns that are perfect for a modern living room, or Dwell patterns that coordinate with the whimsical, understated Dwell Baby polka dot crib sets. The kid-sized Fatboy Junior could easily double as a guest bed for sleepovers.
Also imagine the conversational possibilities. “Please don’t jump on the couch. Go jump on the Fatboy.” Or, “Your butt has been on the Fatboy all day.” Or, “Did you just drool on the Fatboy?”
Good times.
Original Fatboy available for $229 and up at www.fatboyusa.com. Doggie styles available too.
