Terrible product name - LoveSac.

What is a LoveSac, you might ask?

A sectional couch that can be arranged in many possible permutations. I don’t think I could buy one. Can’t envision inviting people to, “Come and sit on my LoveSac.”

always refer to "your sactional" which bugs me even more than "LoveSac".

The "LoveSac" just sounds coy and dirty. "Your sactional". wtf is that? My what?
Do you mean SEC-tional? What?

But they have us talking about it. So I guess they win.

It looks like a good idea, but that name choice is a deal breaker for many potential customers. In purchasing home furniture would be mostly women and not too many moms will ever be heard telling their kids to go sit on the LoveSac.

What were they thinking??? It's a customizable and interchangeable modular seating system, so where did they come up LoveSac?

It was founded in 1995. So, it must be doing something okay.

...was a sort of bean bag chair. I sat in one at one of their stores, and it was sublimely comfortable - I didn't want to get out.
