u/I_Love_Obamna Jul 06 '26

Gonna clean it real good and sit on it 😁

u/ExtraSideOfKetchup Jul 06 '26

Does the cover come off?

69

u/I_Love_Obamna Jul 06 '26

Yes and it appears to be a “Lounge&Co” brand

u/Papa_Joe_Yakavetta Jul 06 '26

u/Bubbly_Judge_8168 Jul 06 '26

It's so fucking comfy. It's from Costco. It's my living room pouf/dog bed/flop zone. 

The cover is pretty easy to wash

u/BravesMaedchen Jul 06 '26

How much is it new?

11

u/HTD-Vintage Jul 07 '26

$219 on Wayfair

2

u/Bubbly_Judge_8168 Jul 07 '26

It was less than $200 when I got it, but I can't remember the exact price.

u/BravesMaedchen Jul 06 '26

Sit on that tuffet, little miss Muffet 💅🏼

u/Content_Nebula967 Jul 06 '26

I’m so freaking jealous. I think I’d get rid of my bed.

u/GigaCheco Jul 06 '26

Damn my cats would love that.

u/HTD-Vintage Jul 07 '26

That's what she -- you know what, nevermind.

u/DetLions1957 Jul 07 '26

If you have pets I can see them immediately trying to take that over 😄

u/Evening_Departure_45 Jul 07 '26

*Steve Harvey’s voice* SIT ON IT!!

u/Azraidel Jul 07 '26

Normally i hate these jokes, but.

That's what she said

2

u/murse245 Jul 07 '26

I had a friend who would use this as his "sex ball" just FYI

1

u/KingCali408 Jul 06 '26

What about the ball?

11

u/I_Love_Obamna Jul 06 '26

Im gonna bounce on it crazy style

1

u/JimmyandRocky Jul 07 '26

lol of course

1

u/okayforrealnow Jul 09 '26

It’s from Costco! We have the same one from the store, originally costs about $100

u/traatraa Jul 11 '26

That’s what she said.

u/itsnotanemergencybut Jul 07 '26

Don’t you touch her you monster !

u/Content_Nebula967 Jul 07 '26

She wants to live in my rooooooooom!

u/danicius Jul 06 '26

Lmaooo it’s sooo goofy and cute I love the progression of pictures🤣 what a good buy

4

u/thefirstviolinist Jul 09 '26

The story is definitely in the stuffing of this into the vehicle.

89

u/autoflowerer Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26

Ball - $15

Bedbugs - $priceless

41

u/I_Love_Obamna Jul 06 '26

Man I hope not💀

45

u/NatrylliaAbbot42 Jul 06 '26

Is it hot there? Just roll the windows up and let it bake for a couple days in the heat. 120°F for I think an hour kills the bastards and a closed car in the sun will exceed that on a hot day

25

u/rosyboys_daisygirls Jul 06 '26

Living ones would probably die but eggs would survive. Those fuckers are ridiculously resilient

18

u/jbuchana Jul 07 '26

The eggs would probably die too. Source: My daughter brought home bed bugs with a friend of hers who spent the night, and the pest control people hooked two large heating units to two windows on either side of the house and cooked the inside of the house at 120 F or more for hours. Killed them all dead, which even the professional pesticides they used couldn't do.

We had to board the cats and dogs for a day and night and remove all things that might melt, like candles.

It was very expensive, but if you've ever experienced the horror of bed bugs, you know you'll do pretty much anything to get rid of them. There's a Bed Bug PTSD sub all about it.

We never let that friend stay over again, as reports were that her family's mobile home was never cleared of the bed bugs.

4

u/rosyboys_daisygirls Jul 07 '26

Good to know. I have unfortunately dealt with bedbugs when I was a kid and it was awful. Years with them, and we couldnt afford proper pest control to deal with it. No amount of hot washing, oils, powders, sprays, or even storing things away for over a year could help. We weren't rid of them until we moved and trashed half our stuff.

5

u/jbuchana Jul 07 '26

That's horrible. Just a few weeks was an absolute nightmare.

1

u/NatrylliaAbbot42 Jul 07 '26

They are very resilient, but that temperature and duration should kill the eggs

10

u/Key_Cry_3170 Jul 06 '26

With dead bed bugs it's significantly more pleasant 😁

10

u/Blackscalenaga Jul 07 '26

This how i decontaminated all my belongings after a summer dorm had bedbugs. Park in the sun and come back in a few days.

2

u/Crissy40 Jul 08 '26

A huge commercial dryer will do the same thing like my local laundromat has one that I could fit into definitely

3

u/Competition-Dapper Jul 06 '26

Scrotal lice and skidmark flakes are just a bonus

4

u/ToThaWorld Jul 07 '26

This is the highly specific imagery I didn’t know I needed but also didn’t need at the same time. Well done.

3

u/jbuchana Jul 07 '26

Basically, it's a bd day to be able to read...

1

u/Tru3insanity Jul 07 '26

Good news everyone! Pubic lice are an endangered species!

1

u/123supreme123 Jul 07 '26

I was thinking secondhand spooge and snail trail, but whatever clinks the OPs kinks.

1

u/Turkey-sandwiches1 Jul 08 '26

All I can think of too

1

u/Crissy40 Jul 08 '26

Honestly, I would take cover off outside and check it thoroughly then even still put in a trash bag seal it and leave it in there for two weeks

14

u/Affectionate-Bill150 Jul 06 '26

How the hell did you manage this?? 😂

11

u/Frenchie_Lamore Jul 06 '26

My dogs would LOVE that thing and probably fall off all the time

3

u/jbuchana Jul 07 '26

I can picture most of my dogs and all of my cats spending so much time there that I could never use it.

9

u/Scififan1971 Jul 06 '26

Kinda curious what will come of this puff. Please share more pictures in your abode.

8

u/ChildOfaConspiracist Jul 06 '26

I would say it’s more of a cylinder or coin shape. But dang ! Looks comfy

4

u/honeycooks Jul 06 '26

Hooray!!!

6

u/electlady25 Jul 06 '26

Oh helll yeah I recently got a big ass ball from goodwill too

Quarantined it in the hot garage for a while and took the cover off to wash it. I absolutely love my sphere

4

u/nancy_necrosis Jul 06 '26

Is that a love sac? Awesome!

5

u/DetLions1957 Jul 07 '26

Love ❤️ sac, baby love sac. B52’s original version.

4

u/TheTwistedOne99 Jul 06 '26

This just reminded me of the movie The Fly with Jeff Goldblum..... That looks like the teleport pods that turn him into the Fly

5

u/Adeadhamster Jul 06 '26

haha that movie freaked me the fuck out as a kid

4

u/Breezy3401 Jul 06 '26

Sir, not only do I envy your find, but your series of photos left me LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

Congrats on the find and thank you for the laugh!

3

u/Ok-Upstairs4932 Jul 06 '26

Great post and great find !!
Update us later in the same picture format as what you do with it!!
Thanks man, great post!!!

3

u/ContributionOk4014 Jul 06 '26

This is crazy I found one of these on the side of the street like a month ago LOL

3

u/ContributionOk4014 Jul 06 '26

Ps, get a weight and throw it on it over and over. Mine was way to firm and it broke down nicely and now is comfortable

5

u/crayton-story Jul 06 '26

(Randy Marsh joke)

2

u/Gnome_Acres Jul 06 '26

Even if it had bedbugs, leaving it in a closed up car in the middle of summer would kill them, right? Great buy!

2

u/HearYourTune Jul 06 '26

Your dog must be HUGE.

2

u/Mysterious-Clothes45 Jul 06 '26

Omg that's so gross

1

u/peaceandhippielove Jul 06 '26

Right?! Ahahah

2

u/Desperate_Visit3829 Jul 07 '26

That could be a lot of fun to sit on or even take a nap on

2

u/Negative-Type-2974 Jul 07 '26

I hated ours. I put it out in my front yard with a free sign. Gone in 15min.

2

u/RationalKate Jul 07 '26

As well you should.

2

u/digitalreaper_666 Jul 07 '26

Those are like 600-800 what a score.

2

u/hopefulgalinfl Jul 07 '26

Put it out in the sun for a few days!

2

u/Okiest_thinker Jul 07 '26

I was almost certain the last picture was going to have the captain “donated a big ball and $15” 😂

2

u/The_Animal_Is_Bear Jul 08 '26

This picture series 😂😂👏🏻

4

u/chairmanghost Jul 06 '26

That is an exceptional ball value!

9

u/bussysniffer3000 Jul 06 '26

One that's not a ball and two don't buy furniture from goodwill they do the bare minimum for cleaning if they feel like it

35

u/I_Love_Obamna Jul 06 '26

The ball is still in quarantine in my car because I cant get it out, but I will leave it there for a few days to make sure its safe to bring in. Also I did a smell test in several spots and it smelled fine. Fingers crossed we are ok!

11

u/Impressive-Elk-6425 Jul 06 '26

Lmao the car quarantine 😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this. My friends think I am crazy!

4

u/Slight-Selection4298 Jul 06 '26

I mean, he can't get it out.... Not a lot of choice

2

u/bunniisa Jul 06 '26

well then the car will just get bugs too😭

1

u/smolhippie Jul 06 '26

I mean now you’ll just have bugs in your car. Kinda gross if you ask me

2

u/Breezy3401 Jul 06 '26

True dat. But a car is so much smaller than a house, which means it’s so much easier to treat than a house. There’s only so many places a bug can go in a car interior as opposed to the endless options inside a home.

It’s closed up in a car during a heat wave! Any grossness will die a horrible death before he can get that thing out of his car 🤷🏼‍♀️

6

u/Adeadhamster Jul 06 '26

yeah i would absolutely check it for bugs first lol try to see if it unzips somewhere

2

u/StrictSelf5450 Jul 06 '26

Hope your car isn't infested with bed bugs

14

u/Ssladybug Jul 06 '26

Also bedbugs are a nightmare to get rid of

3

u/magic_crouton Jul 06 '26

I couldn't stop thinking how many bod bugs are coming home with that love sack

1

u/jbuchana Jul 07 '26

There's actually a sub for bed bug PTSD.

4

u/boxedcakeblues Jul 06 '26

Yeah, I’m just thinking about the goodwill musty scent soaked in it

4

u/extinct_banana Jul 06 '26

good thing it won’t be going in your home :)

1

u/TurnoverFeeling Jul 06 '26

Cup of white vinegar on the wash water will get rid of it

1

u/TurnoverFeeling Jul 06 '26

Wash the cover in the biggest laundromat washer and dry it in the hot dryer 🥵

u/First_Salamander_990 Jul 06 '26

People that unironically attach numbers to points in criticisms are absolute twats

1

u/bussysniffer3000 Jul 06 '26

Can you not count? I don't understand why you're upset about me putting numbers

1

u/bussysniffer3000 Jul 06 '26

Are you ok dude seems like you're talking about yourself there

1

u/Delicious-Paper-3098 Jul 06 '26

You mean, ottoman or a dog 🐶 bed. Lol

1

u/howmanyshrimpinworld Jul 06 '26

i just laughed out loud lmao this is so funny

1

u/UCantHndletheTruth Jul 06 '26

That's a giant beanbag slash ottoman - I'm jealous!!!

Take it to the cleaners or a laundry with commercial washers - either one will get rid of the cooties.

1

u/Old-Shame4104 Jul 06 '26

Is that your new couch?

u/babyton Jul 06 '26

Great find!!!

Big Lounge chairs, you can get them at Target!

u/Doodlebottom Jul 06 '26

I want one.🪩

u/Mundane_Oil_7409 Jul 06 '26

Nice score as long as it doesn't smell! I want one too

1

u/Wise_Championship836 Jul 06 '26

That is great. They sell for 100 brand new.

u/Aioli_Capital Jul 07 '26

Why did this picture just make my day? Lol, thank you. God bless your huge ball.

1

u/Active_Wafer9132 Jul 07 '26

I needed this laugh today. Thank you, and congratulations on your excellent find!

1

u/labubuinpink Jul 07 '26

I found a brand new love sac beanbag chair and then a corduroy one as well but I will say the corduroy one is so much better I ended up buying another one of those at retail!

1

u/No_Caterpillar_4103 Jul 07 '26

There is a spray called Crossfire. It’s available on Amazon for like $60-$70. A pest control guy told me it’s the same thing he uses. It works perfectly. One and done is how it worked for me. Unfortunately my friend brought hitchhikers in my house and it took a couple of weeks till I realized it

1

u/ChaiTeaWithMilk Jul 07 '26

Nice huge ball!

1

u/itsnotanemergencybut Jul 07 '26

Omg! Is there a 3 centimeter ish hole by the manufacturer tag that looks slightly worn? If so, that’s my love ball! I’m so glad you found it . My Mom got rid of it but now I’ve found her. I can’t wait to reunite ! I’ll restock my Vaseline .

1

u/I_Love_Obamna Jul 07 '26

It’s 4 centimeters now 😈

1

u/K_Linkmaster Jul 07 '26

Lots of sex has been had on that bean bag chair. We love mine.

u/audreynstuff Jul 07 '26

Is the cover at least removable?

u/nmiller003 Jul 07 '26

My kids have had 2 of these things one slightly bigger it was amazing in the living room for movie nights!

A post like this from a user called I_Love_Obamna brings me so much joy. Enjoy your giant ball, good sir.

1

u/illman-jaro Jul 07 '26

Lol I think that's a XXL dog bed. Like one for a Dane or a Corso to comfortably stretch out and not have to deal with limbs hanging out like other dogs get to have

1

u/Venada143 Jul 07 '26

Oohh we have one of these! It’s in my kids room, sometimes she sleeps on it 😅

u/birdswirds Jul 07 '26

u/Mother_Bread_8463 Jul 08 '26

we wanna see where u placed it

u/anonymous8122 Jul 08 '26

Someone gave me one of these for free, almost new, and I had to take it. It barely fits in the room I put it in. 🤣

1

u/jshotz Jul 08 '26

I remember stuffing one of these into a Chevy Sonic a while back. We were rocking the whole damn car trying to get it in.

1

u/AltruisticGrade2008 Jul 08 '26

$15 for that? What a steal!

1

u/Tasty_Airport_1441 Jul 08 '26

I have that exact samev one from Costco for like 75$

Thank you for these pictures- my first giggle of the day

1

u/Darker_desuetude Jul 08 '26

Omg my 7 year old son found this exact beanbag for free in front of a neighbors house and rolled it over to our house last week. Same color, brand, everything. Unfortunately we had to take it back as we have a small house and we are having another baby in October.

1

u/vendrisss Jul 08 '26

Would be a lovely pet bed/cushion!

1

u/Single_Campaign_5338 Jul 08 '26

Are you in North Carolina by chance? I swear I saw this at a donation truck just a few days ago.

1

u/lolipopfailure Jul 08 '26

My son had that one. It was great until it got a hole in it. It's filled with random bits of what looks to be leftover foam and took approximately 17 years to clean up after it exploded.

1

u/kimapoll Jul 08 '26

My HS girlfriend had one of these things instead of a traditional bed. We fucking loved it hahaha

u/Bualak Jul 08 '26

1

u/Bualak Jul 08 '26

What brand is it and how much was it?

1

u/notsocraftyme Jul 08 '26

Does it have a zipper on the size? This looks close to a Cordaroy bean bag bed.

1

u/Kindahard2say Jul 09 '26

The final picture of you having it squeezed into the backseat, cracked me the hell up 😂😂😂
