Okay, so it's not a sofa bed. It's a pet bed, but for people. But like a sofa bed, you can lounge in it with your dog, cuddle in it with your partner or just chill out alone on the Plufl.

This five-star-rated pet bed currently only has five customer reviews, but they're all worth reading. One Amazon customer almost threw out their own mattress in favor of this pet bed. "It truly doesn't get any better!" They wrote. "Listen, I almost got rid of my bed for this! The Plufl is so comfortable, and my fur baby thinks it's his! Whether it's laying down for a quick nap, or being on the go like long travel or camping, my Plufl is my go to ... I've fallen asleep on my Plufl so many times when my bed was right there."

Another customer likes to use the dog bed for relaxing while playing virtual reality games. "I got this for a better solution for relaxing in VR than my bed. I am not real tall (5'6") so I fit inside this very well," they shared. "The bumper that surrounds it provides both a place to prop my feet up or my head. It solves the problem that was being treated by pillows, but pillows move and are hard to find sometimes in VR. This is comfy and I fall asleep in VRChat sometimes now. Soo relaxing."

Apparently the Plufl is so comfortable, a customer shared that it "feels better and provides more support than my Tempur-Pedic bed."
