The couch adopts Slowpoke’s pink coat and playful expression on the backrest, while plush ears and a tail sit on the backside of the bottom cushion. The covers can be removed for cleaning or customization, allowing them to be put in a washing machine for easy stain removal. CELLUTANE currently has other lifestyle products inspired by Gengar, Rowlet, Ditto, a Pokéball, and Snorlax. The adorable couch is measured at 36 x 40 x 28 cm and weighs 8.75 kg. The ‘Snorlax Snorlax’ sofa is now available online at the CELLUTANE website for ¥28,400 JPY (approximately $204 USD).
