Sometimes it seems that we do little more than work and sleep.

We need a good night’s sleep to prepare us for work. Then we work all day and we come home tired. Sometimes we may even take a short nap before re-joining the land of the living for a few short hours before getting ready for bed once again.

But somewhere amid it all we need to make a little time for some real wide awake relaxation. Even if we have a sitting down job, or are able to grab half an hour or so in the canteen during our break, we are seated not sitting. We are attending to our computer screen, or to our lunch, or concentrating on saying the right thing to the person at the other end of the telephone. That isn’t leisure, far less is it pleasure.

Wouldn’t it be nice to come home and flop onto something really comfortable? Like a bean bag, or a hammock – or maybe even just a cushion that we can place on the floor wherever we want to be and chill out, as they say today.

These exceedingly comfortable LoJo Balls are available in a range of patriotic and other themes and really do the trick when you need a chair that you can move to wherever you wish it to be and, simply, crash out in front of the television. Filled with beans and resplendent in faux leather, you can use it as a computer seat or just something to lounge upon after a busy day.

When it is not in use it can just be deflated and packed away until next time. This truly is the ultimate in hand portable luxury.

Life is too short to spend it all working or sleeping.
