Multifunctional modular sofa

[u/Kooka32081]

[u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

It's either uncomfortable as hell or not supportive when used as an actual sofa.

[u/Okichah → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

Definitely doesnt work as well as shown.

The corner wall is supporting two sides.

[u/RedWum → u/Okichah]

So it works as well as shown if you have a corner wall for that space.

[u/JohnnyWix → u/RedWum]

It will certainly work as shown if used as shown.

[u/sammybooom81 → u/JohnnyWix]

Lol! You jerks!

[u/Nope0naRope → u/RedWum]

I have a couch that's got lots of squares that come apart and move, and the real downside is that you have to lash them together underneath with these clip things. They're really heavy duty because they need to be, but it makes it a little bit difficult. You don't just get to move the couch around all easy peasy like that you have to get down on your belly and reach your arm under and push on the clip so that it disengages so you can pull the pieces apart. Otherwise, anytime that you use both cushions at the same time, the couch spreads apart and you have a huge crack to fall into. They didn't address this at all - and made it appear that that wasn't going to be a problem. That's my first reason to think that this is advertising lies.

[u/SoylentRox → u/Nope0naRope]

This.  I have a couch without the clips.  And yes it sucks.  Slides whenever you rest on it.

[u/newbikesong → u/Nope0naRope]

Two squares are sawed together, as it is a foldable single unit.

For the support, there ia that L shaped bar.

[u/Legitimate-Category8 → u/Okichah]

And also who is gonna take the time to move stuff around for all these configurations. More likely it'll stay in one layout forever.

[u/DruzhbyNarodiv → u/Okichah]

Just like the hypotenuse!

[u/Sandwitch_horror → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

I have something similar called a nugget (its actually a kids couch/fort. Really cute). I also have IVDD in my spine, several bulging discs, hips that are not in alignment, and a few other issues (lol). Anyway, the firmness is great for me, and the versatility helps when I need support in different places in a way that no other couch has ever been able to accommodate my body.

Idk if this one specifically is firm, but the nugget version is great.

[u/Owobowos-Mowbius → u/Sandwitch_horror]

Yeah I've heard great things about the nugget. I've also heard really weird adult things about the nugget lmao

[u/Sandwitch_horror → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

Lmao, I mean to each their own I guess. I have a kid who uses them all the time so it would definitely feel gross to fuck on them.

[u/Owobowos-Mowbius → u/Sandwitch_horror]

Absolutely. I can see why people would think the shapes and material are convenient, but that would be nasty as hell if you had kids.

[u/WubbaLubbaDubDub87 → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

This. After living in Japan and South Korea for 5 years, I can confirm that the couches are like sitting on padded bricks.

[u/Practical_Regret513 → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

They tried to do something like this with tools in the electrical industry and all they did was make a tool that sort of does what it needs to but not anywhere near as good as the originals.

This would be a goodish buy if I lived in a studio apartment and was accepting of mediocrity

[u/karlnite → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

It’s also ugly.

[u/error_error_40 → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

Ugly as hell too

[u/Songrot → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

Japanese sit on the floor and sleep on the floor. I dont think they notice the difference.

[u/smokeshack → u/Songrot]

In 1963, sure. These days most Japanese people have one room in their house with tatami, if they have it at all.

[u/Tornadodash → u/smokeshack]

But anime characters sleep on the floors so often. Are you telling me anime lied to me? /S

[u/Songrot → u/smokeshack]

The moment when you google what a Tatami is, you realise that my statement remains intact

[u/smokeshack → u/Songrot]

Sweetheart, I am typing this comment from Tokyo. Japanese people are not sitting on hardwood floors, linoleum, or marble tiling, either. When we sit on the floor in Japan, we sit on tatami.

[u/evilspawn_usmc → u/smokeshack]

Big deal, you're in Tokyo, but have you ever actually BEEN to Japan?

/s

[u/Songrot → u/smokeshack]

You are aware what this post and this comment tree is about? The first claim was that the couch is uncomfortable as its not cushioned. It's like sitting or lying on the floor with minimum cushion like tatami.

Weebs being so offended is such a redditor illness lmao

[u/peterpodolski]

It's a pain in the ass. My wife and I had something like that. Way too hard and heavy. So in the end, you just leave it as is. After a day of work for both of us, and taking care of our child, what do you wanna do? You puzzle around your sofa pieces. No you don't!

[u/marco161091 → u/peterpodolski]

I mean, I think that’s the use case. I doubt anyone would want to change it multiple times a day.

They’re just showing off the many configurations you can set it up in, and it provides a lot of flexibility for the customer.

Most people will just set it how they like; then maybe change things up every few weeks or months.

It’s not for me, personally, though.

[u/peterpodolski → u/marco161091]

I get the advertisment. There's so many Layouts of couches in all forms and colours and sizes. Just get the one that you like and fits your living space. Then you don't need to puzzle at all, is all!

[u/umidk9 → u/peterpodolski]

As someone who moves a fair bit due to renting in a hcol city I quite like this. I end up having to get rid of some furniture every year or so, and get other stuff here and there as my space and needs change. So something like this seems quite nice.

[u/justneurostuff → u/peterpodolski]

but the stuff i like changes all the time :(

[u/everett640 → u/marco161091]

Being able to make it into a full layout bed for visitors is nice though

[u/affemannen → u/peterpodolski]

Lol, i was just going to say if you are over a certain age that shit will remain in one configuration only and then there is plenty of better alternatives.

[u/dibalh → u/affemannen]

It’s interesting you mention age because it plays a big part in furniture choice. The IKEA demographic is all young people. By their 30’s people buy real furniture and after 40’s people like to buy custom bespoke furniture.

[u/LiveLearnCoach → u/dibalh]

You might want to consider yourself lucky if you are getting “custom bespoke” furniture over 40.

[u/binarypower → u/LiveLearnCoach]

i think the meme on reddit has become that if you're old you're rich because you're old

[u/dibalh → u/LiveLearnCoach]

It’s what I heard on Planet Money. But personally, no, I’m going to be stuck paying my student loans until I retire instead. Even if I could afford the furniture, I couldn’t afford the square footage to put it in.

[u/affemannen → u/dibalh]

In my 20s i would be fully on board to shuffle around furniture for parties or just generally having people over, in fact i did. Im almost 50 now and the very idea of folding/moving furniture fills me with dread.

[u/fun_size027 → u/peterpodolski]

*too

[u/foomp]

We had one in college. Not very comfortable or practical. Affectionately called the "flip'n'fuck" as that was the only situation that changed it's layout.

[u/TivoDelNato → u/foomp]

Looking forward to a sloppy evening on the ol flip’n’fuck.

[u/foomp → u/TivoDelNato]

Yeah .... Nobody ever claimed to use it, but it was always getting moved around and left in the 'bed" position. Shudder

[u/jarednards → u/foomp]

My exs nickname was 'flip n fuck'. I didnt give her that name😔

[u/Hauntcrow]

Surprised none of them thought of stacking then to have it 4-layers high and make it a throne

[u/nee_chee → u/Hauntcrow]

I'd do that but I fear the throne would fall apart when sat on.

[u/ozzy_thedog]

Yes I love sleeping on super cheap fake leather. 👍

[u/Sandwitch_horror → u/ozzy_thedog]

I mean... its supposed to be a lounging couch still. Not a nightly bed lol

[u/GreyBeardEng]

And you have to be as young as the people in this advertisement in order to find this comfortable.

[u/Few_Eye6528]

Cool things like this wouldn't work if you are tall (193 cm), my legs will stick out

[u/Kroneni → u/Few_Eye6528]

Few couches do tbh.

[u/tomtomato0414]

Looks uncomfortable and ugly as shite

[u/ASimpleDude868]

I really want that

[u/Comfortable-Beyond50]

Swiss army couch

[u/Strange_Occasion_408]

I see only one value for the sofa.

In trying to figure out the best combination for various sex positions

[u/TropicalHairyBear → u/Strange_Occasion_408]

At the same time?

[u/NistBoi]

And here I am with my singledisfunctional fixed sofa

[u/Wrathuk]

might be ok for a kids play room but you couldn't use this as a main sofa for a living room wouldn't last 3 months with adults sitting on it every day.

[u/deathjokerz]

The idea is cool until you found what config suits you and never changing it again.

[u/Kangerkong]

Not something I would want but I do like the idea of furniture being more modular

[u/ArgeiousIV]

I don’t even think he actually ate the sandwich. Can’t trust it now

[u/ryanandthelucys]

Me: Can we buy Minecraft? Please!

Mom: We have Minecraft at home!

[u/BrotherMcPoyle]

So if you don’t have it against the wall like this the top just slides off?

[u/Walk1000Miles]

How do we order this couch?

[u/Sandwitch_horror]

So.. the nugget lmao

[u/Still_Criticism_5917]

👍🏽

[u/bigmike1339]

That's cool.

[u/Killit_Witfya]

i cant even be bothered to press the buttons on my adjustable bed remote.

[u/blastingarrows]

Ahhh. Looks like you found the newly modeled college flip and fuck sofa. /s

[u/mattblack77]

That looks like a shithouse mattress to sleep on

[u/ShadowMerlyn]

That doesn’t look like it would be nearly as functional, comfortable, or durable as the video implies it is. I’m all for creative designs but it seems that the phrase “jack of all trades, master of none” would apply here.

[u/Walk1000Miles]

How do we order this couch!

[u/zombieking079]

This is some black magic. Get 5 sofas in 1 kind of thing.

[u/idk-idk-idk-idk-idk-]

If this was comfortable enough I’d use it as an all in 1 bed

[u/Nearby-Aioli2848]

Links please 🙏

[u/FadedShinobi → u/Nearby-Aioli2848]

Ya waiting for the Amazon link so I can check out the reviews!

[u/Eastern-Breadfruit72]

Who has the for that

[u/Camrons_Mink]

That’s the nicest flip’n’fuck I’ve ever seen

[u/sigpop16]

Ah yes, compact funuture for people that can't afford big enough homes because of the housing market.

[u/LibGyps]

Temu ad

[u/Traveling_Swan]

Forget about the sofa thing... where can I get that duck!?

[u/12ozMilf]

So can we drop a link or something?

[u/the_rabbit_king]

Eh. I don’t think I want that.

[u/BotMinister]

Can you utilize it in this way? Yes. Will you? Probably not after the first few months.

[u/TiaHatesSocials]

What’s up with this floor. Looks like bathroom tiles

[u/Grow3rShow3r]

Ugly as hell but good idea thou

[u/Poperama]

Doubt it's comfortable for long, but the kids version is a great toy (nugget couch.)

[u/Nagrom49]

My kids have a thing like this called a nugget they build forts and shit out of it

[u/WeedLMT69]

Somehow, this couch makes me angry...

[u/krehns]

The worst of both worlds

[u/F2PClashMaster]

don’t like that when you fold it you’re sitting on the part that was previously touching the ground

[u/NostalgiaSC]

That's sofuking cool

[u/Possible_Ad3234]

Hard as a rock

[u/AreYouItchy]

Let’s be real here. It looks great, and with many variations would be very adaptive. But, once the cat(s) got on it, it would be theirs, and we’d be back on the floor. 😸😻

[u/f0dder1]

If only it looked good, or comfortable 😕

[u/EuroTrash1999]

Fat Americans lose again.

[u/RB1O1]

These things are only being marketed because living space standards are in a ditch.

[u/lighttree18]

Where’s the galvanised steel tubing !?!?!  /s

[u/Face_with_a_View]

r/lovesac are much better!!

[u/Seaguard5]

If you’re good with the surfaces you sit on touching the floor, sure

[u/spaceboy83]

Looks like i’m gonna downvote and be on my way..

[u/Overseer_05]

everytime I hear multifunctional modularbsomething i scream inside

[u/GreyNoiseGaming]

Looks like something you find in the house of really annoying people who try to get you to use it while they sit on an actual sofa.

[u/Revolutionary_Pride4]

Doesn’t work and looks like shit 💩
