The first thing many of us do when we get home on a day off is look for a place where we can fully sink in and let down our guard. The “mochi sofa” from emerging Japanese home brand YURUMARU has recently drawn plenty of attention on social media. Built around the idea of “choosing a new home of your own,” these single-seat cushions prioritize a sense of personal space over traditional living room sofas that take up a large footprint, offering a stress-free refuge from busy urban life.

Soft, pillowy support that’s stronger than expected
When choosing a beanbag sofa, many people worry most about it sagging after prolonged use and failing to support the lower back. YURUMARU has adjusted the materials to address this concern, promising an “ultimate soft yet resilient feel” that cradles both body and mind while keeping you comfortably supported. Lighter and more flexible to move and arrange than a traditional large sofa, this mochi sofa is especially suited to renters or corners of rooms with limited space.

A place to settle in, for the eyes and the touch
With the hashtag #ゆるまる生活, the brand promotes a relaxed, unforced approach to life. The moment you step into the room and sit down, this cushion is more than just a piece of living room furniture; it feels like a private corner that shuts out the busyness beyond. In small rooms with limited space, cushions like these, which are lightweight yet enveloping, often get more use than traditional sofas. Adding a piece that feels soothing both visually and physically is certainly an easy way to bring more happiness to everyday life.
