Thai triangle cushion
by atai @ 23:17 | Filed under: misc, wii

I have been looking around for the Thai triangle cushion and have been asking family and friends visiting Thailand to keep an eye out for me. Latest was Sherman who was in Thailand for a short holiday just two weeks back.

Anyway, he was being extremely helpful to the point that he texted my just a few days ago to tell me that he saw this triangle cushion being sold here in Malaysia — Carrefour Subang.

So off I went this evening to Carrefour to check out the Thai triangle cushion and bring one home. At the same time, took my mum to my friend’s diner located close by (the e-Tiara Apartments). My friend owns and runs the diner — Ben and Nick’s Diner. They serve good Western food.

After dinner, we rushed to Carrefour, got the cushion and went back home… I was all excited about the Thai triangle cushion and the four new Wii games I had just bought earlier today. Mum was just as excited and curious about the Thia triangle cushion and pestered my to unpack it and try it out. I have tried out the Thai triangle cushion before at a friend’s place — that’s how I first found out about it. I find it very useful and plan to get a few of this for my new home. Mrs Tai and I will probably buy these Thai triangle cushions instead of sofa sets, provided they are really practical and useful. And that’s why I just got one first… To try it out.

After unpacking it, I rolled it all out and it becomes a bed!

This is really cool, huh? :)

Then it took me another 15 minutes to figure out how to turn it into a chair… Surprisingly, there are quite a number of combination and I recall getting it right after just the first few tries. Then I remember folding the cushion back into the storage position (all folded up) and then trying to unfold it back into the chair position… That’s when I realised it’s not as easy as it seems… You can tell I’ve never been good with Rubik’s cube:)

But anyway, after 15 minutes, I finally got it…

We’re still testing out the Thai triangle cushion. Getting my family and friends to try it out over the next few weeks and see what is their feedback. If everything is OK and I don’t get any sore neck, I’m going back to Carrefour to get more of these Thai triangle cushions… If you wanna try out the cushion, do drop by my parent’s place… :)

And in case you are wondering, they cost rm69.90 each. Well… Since I can’t find it anywhere else at the moment, I think it’s a bargain.

There are 8 comments.
  1. Did it say where it was made from?
    I’ll see if i can find one on my next trip to Thai, mr Tai. ;)

  2. sherman, thanks… it’ll be good so at least i will know if rm69.90 is a good price or not…

    speaking of rm69.90… i’m just surprised carrefour’s not doing what giant is doing to all their prices… end them with 8 sen. :P

    dun think i saw any label. but honestly, i’ve not really sat and felt every inch of the chair yet… heh heh… will wanna sit long-long on the chair this weekend.

  7. This cushion reminds me of my dad. He bought this cushion fr Carefour,Subang - just few hours before he passed away. He even said, ‘nice to lie down on this cushion, won’t want to get up anymore’. This cushion is already in the market since 2005. Too bad I couldn’t carry back here.
