Anime Creature-Inspired Cushion Beds

Bandai Unveils Its Latest Large Snorlax Cushion Bed

— April 5, 2023 — Art & Design
Bandai and The Pokémon Company have revealed its latest and upgraded anime creature-inspired cushion bed called the large Snorlax cushion bed. The large Snorlax cushion bed is made in preparation for the release of Pokémon Sleep. Snorlax is a sleepy Pokémon who is massive in size and weight, and many have made different iterations of this product but none of this size.

The large Snorlax cushion bed is measured approximately 60 inches by 50 inches and weighs about 12 kilograms. As a result, it is an improvement to the Snorlax beanbag released in 2021. In contrast, the beanbag version was only four feet tall and measured 45 inches by 40 inches. The large Snorlax cushion bed also comes with a Poké Flute, which measures 17 inches. The large Snorlax cushion bed will be released in July 2023 for $550.
