When it comes to video games, why play them sitting up when you can lie back and be more comfortable? Today we'll look at the latest lounger from Pyramat, which lets you enjoy your favourite media while you're horizontal. Be it video games, movies, TV shows or music, this lounger comes with built-in speakers. Now let's see if it's truly a model of luxury in our Up Close review....
In the end, here's what we think:
Pros
- Comfortable lounger
- Speakers sound good
- Easy to install & pack away
Cons
- Can't change headrest position or colour
- Poor retail distribution
- More than a novelty, but not for everyone
