Comfy Sacks Reaches New Heights At Cusco & Manchu Picchu

Comfy Sacks — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:52:02 +0000

For the people of Cusco, Peru, their Festival of the Sun (Inti Raymi) is the biggest celebration of the year. A hiking team of three Comfy Sacks employees, horsemen and guides arrived just in time to let the townspeople try out the comfortable bean bag chairs. The kids of Cusco, home of the Incas, loved hanging out in the Comfy Sacks and persuaded others (including the local police!) to join in the fun. The word quickly spread and the evidence that Comfy Sacks were indeed the most comfortable chair in the world was mounting.

Moving on with a 7-day hike on the Salkantay trail to Manchu Picchu, it took the help of porters and horsemen to cross the trail and scale a 16,700 foot peak to reach the legendary city of Manchu Picchu with Comfy Sacks in tow. At each stop along the way, the Comfy Sacks served as a perfect place for tired hikers to kick back and relax. The employees of Llama Path (the cooks, porters and horsemen) were able to enjoy the Comfy Sacks after a hard days work.

Knowing that the comfortable bean bags would be there for them at the end of each day’s 7-hour hike, they pushed on with enthusiasm and vigor. After four more days in the Andes, on the renowned Inca trail to Manchu Picchu, the hiking party and Comfy Sacks reached the legendary city. To finish off the monumental trip, the CEO of Comfy Sacks (Tyler Shearburn) shot some pictures and video of the product at Manchu Picchu to share with everyone.

For the hikers, guides and residents of the Peruvian cities of Cusco and Manchu Picchu, the conclusion was that the Comfy Sack was indeed the most comfortable chair in Peru. Comfy Sacks would also like to thank the people of Peru for being such warm and gracious hosts — they are truly some of the nicest people on this earth. Next destination….Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa.

Comfy Sacks Teams Up with Rupert Boneham to Help Kids

If you’re one of the more than 38 million people who voted for Rupert Boneham on “Survivor: All Stars,” helping him win $1 million, you probably already know what a great, charismatic and generous guy he is. But what you may not know is that he used most of his winnings to start a charity, “Rupert’s Kids,” which empowers young people to find their inner strength, self worth and value to society.

Comfy Sacks, a maker of premium bean bag furniture, believes in the mission of Rupert’s Kids to provide mentoring and educational programming to youth as well as developing housing options for low-income families and facilitating community partnerships to help disadvantaged people of all ages.

“We fell in love with Rupert when we saw him on ‘Survivor,’ but we liked him even more when we found out about all he has done and continues to do to help kids,” said Tyler Shearburn, founder of Comfy Sacks. “We jumped at the chance to help. But instead of just making a donation, we wanted to develop a product that would reflect Rupert’s larger-than-life personality and generosity.”

The Rupert Edition Comfy Sacks are covered with super-soft tie-dyed fleece and range in size from 3.5 feet round to the massive eight-foot Comfy Sack, fit for a crowd. Comfy Sacks will donate $25 from the sale of each Rupert Edition Comfy Sack to his charity.

“Rupert loved the Comfy Sack so much he asked for an eight-foot model for his office in

Indianapolis,” Shearburn said. “He uses it every day when he’s not on the road sharing the good work of Rupert’s Kids.”

Comfy Sacks are not your mama’s bean bag furniture. Made with high-quality, furniture-grade foam, they are incredibly soft and comfortable, supporting your body without being stiff. The foam has incredibly memory and does not flatten or make noise like the traditional foam used in bean bags. ComfySacks are perfect for lounging, watching movies, playing video games, reading, even comforting autistic children. Learn more at http://www.ComfySacks.com.

Comfy Sacks was founded about four years ago when Shearburn was looking for the most comfortable seating possible for watching movies and playing video games. Unable to find what he was looking for, he developed Comfy Sacks as an extremely comfortable and reasonably priced alternative to couches and chairs.
