"Ms. Toogood... introduced a bed for Birkenstock... with sides and a headboard so voluminous it could be mistaken for a crash mat. 'It’s part of my softgoods obsession,' Ms. Toogood said. We need that comfort and softness at the moment.'"

From "Like Sweatpants, Squishy Furniture Is In/Versatility is not the only reason blobby sofas and chairs are back in style" (NYT). 

I love the name Ms. Toogood — Faye Toogood — and I'm amused by the blobular furniture. I'm having severe 70s flashbacks, but it's not that nightmarish. It's pretty amusing. I think it's funny that Birkenstock makes beds now — blobby beds. I see they're on a cork base, like the famous shoes.

I'm not convinced furniture like that is actually comfortable. You might look at it and get a message of comfort, but try getting up after sitting in it for a couple hours. As for the likeness to sweatpants — yes, this furniture is of the opinion that you are fat. 

I once bought an armchair that I liked the look of only to bring it home and decide it was built for someone 2 or 3 times my size. And the comfort was all in my head. In that light, I advise you to look at the photographs in the linked article and not to think at all about buying any of that stuff — that stuffed stuff.

Here's a picture — from 2012 — of that chair I thought I'd enjoy sitting in:
