Duvet-Covered Couches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Inchworm Shezlong Uses a Duvet as Its Cushions

— September 12, 2016 — Art & Design
The Inchworm Shezlong, a low-cost couch design, is a godsend for the lazy. While lazing around on a couch is relaxing on a slow Sunday, sometimes even lying on a couch feels like work when compared to lying in bed. The Inchworm Shezlong in itself is just a metal frame, but it becomes the lap of luxurious laziness by getting its cushions from its owner's duvet.

With the Inchworm Shezlong, consumers never even need to unwind themselves from the embrace of their bedding. After the requisite lying around in bed, checking the phone and staring around aimlessly, consumers can simply pull their duvets along with them to the living room. With bedding in tow, all that a consumer needs to do is flop down onto the Inchworm and enjoy their ludicrously lazy day.
Trend Themes
1. Duvet-covered Furniture - The use of duvets as couch cushions presents an opportunity for the furniture industry to explore cost-effective and customizable designs.
2. Affordable Luxury - The creation of low-cost yet luxurious furniture items such as the Inchworm Shezlong could disrupt the high-end furniture market and encourage more consumers to invest in home decor.
3. Lazy Home Solutions - The popularity of the Inchworm Shezlong highlights the potential for innovation in the creation of comfortable and convenient home furnishings that cater to consumers' desire for relaxation and laziness.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - The furniture industry can leverage the concept of duvet-covered couches to create low-cost, customizable, and premium-looking furniture designs that appeal to consumers' desire for comfort and relaxation.
2. Home Decor - The success of the Inchworm Shezlong demonstrates a disruptive opportunity for the home decor industry to create innovative and cozy home furnishings that cater to the modern consumer's preference for comfort and convenience.
3. Hospitality - The concept of using duvets as couch cushions could provide opportunities for innovation in the hospitality industry, including hotels and lounges, where consumers appreciate comfortable and unique seating options.
