The Lovesac Story 

A story of a young kid with no money, no experience and a random idea has turned his bean bag company in a huge success! This story is worth watching!

One of the best start-up stories I have ever heard.

I love my Sactional and SuperSac. Im glad you did not give up. My mancave is awesome because of it.

I LOVED this story! Loved that he NEVER gave up on his dream! A young man with no money, no experience but with a dream and the perseverance to see it through is so heartwarming. I believe everything happens for a reason. His 2 years in Taiwan...learning Chinese was key to God's plan for him. Wishing you continued success!!

Awesome story, Shawn! I was at the Gateway Mall in '03, and could not believe how great of a concept it was. I am a proud and loyal LoveSac sycophant.

5 years later... I am getting my Lovesac today, I went to the store last weekend, I can’t wait. I’m happy to see from a collage student with almost no money to start, to the company today. They do cost a little much, but it’s worth it!

Wow, this is one hell of a story from Shawn Nelson, the creator of Lovesac! Not only is the idea behind creating his furniture GENIUS, but his story of how he made it all come together is inspiring as hell! Matty & I have been long overdue for a new couch and I have already decided that when we do finally get one that it will be one of these Sactionals! 💕🛋

I bought my first Lovesac at the SLC Gateway store in early 2003. My sactional was delivered yesterday. Love your products!

Just purchased our Sactionals. Was looking for something logical for any home any space especially being military its important to us that we have quality items that are durable desirable and will allow us to transport easily but still are aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. We believe this is true of the Sactionals and after hearing your drive as a young businessman...we are even more pleased to contribute to your success. Wish it was all Made In USA but hoping your quality control is monitoring production of these items in China. God bless

The Apple of furniture. Expensive and well made. Young guy like Steve Jobs decides to make something on a whim and every one who sees it wants it! That’s how Fortune 500 companies literally get started in - in someone’s garage, basement or living room.

Watching “How to assemble you sactional” and found this story. Thanks for telling it. My 8 sides and 6 bases are out for FedEx delivery today. Looking forward to putting together.

Shawn, thanks for telling us your real story! Lovely to see you tell your own story. So many people think these businesses need a business degree and lots of intention, but many businesses start just like this. Lots of hard work and risk taking and falling into opportunities. I know you have a good product, I just wish I could afford it!

This is such an inspirational story about perseverance and strength. your enthusiasm for your products is amazing. It was awesome to know you served as a missionary for the LDS church because I grew up in the Mormon church. I look forward to hearing more about your company.

Amazing story and he never gave up his dream !!!! Bravo great product

great story and presentation, im so impressed with your perseverance you deserve all the success you will obviously have

Yet this story is AMAZING!! So happy for you and your innovation!!

Congratulations on your journey and thank you so much for sharing your story. I just ordered my new sactional on yesterday 11/29 and now I am just awaiting my delivery. Of course the videos are helpful. I have been watching this sactional for several years promising myself that one day I would have one in my home. Also my sister bought a sactional with the stealth audio. I will gradually get there as I keep adding on to my sactional. Tysm this is so awesome and gives me the strength to keep up my entrepreneurship!💯💙

Awesome story! And great presentation. Wishing you continued success..

Wow, what a start up story!

A fantastic & Inspiring account of how Lovesac evolved from it’s beginning.

This is an amazing story! I just stumbled across your product while looking for an alternative to traditional living room furniture. I'll be keeping an eye out and will be looking forward to seeing your future innovations.

❤ this story!!!! Planning a move to Saratoga Springs, Utah in October. Buying a sactional and a love sac for my new home!

Awesome story! True entrepreneurial spirit in Lovesac. My fiancee and I are just waiting for when we can get our first Movie Lounger into our new condo after our wedding in July!

Your truly an inspiration ❤️ We love our lovesac family!

I remmber when I was 10 I watched this like 20 times or so 😄(2years ago) I'm so happy I could find lovesac again! 😄😄

I went to the Lovesac store in Louisville ky, small footprint unlike the huge furniture stores because that love sectional is all pieces of furniture in one. I was taken with that small store being so cool. I own a love sactional, and love it. What a great story of perserverence, and fortitude. good job! now you're rich. in 2022. and now we have harmon kardon speakers in the furniture.

I hope and pray that they learn to think outside of the box. Don’t be afraid to take chances. Just like you have done! I never heard of Love Sac…. When I saw one at my Sons house who moved to Fort Worth TX to be close to his boys…whom we raised! It was an actual SAC! It looked like a beanbag, but was so comfortable. They kind of told us about a Love Sac store in Vegas. That was 2014. But they told me how expensive it was. I thinking, I can’t blow that much money on that. Cut to present time July 2022. I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I also suffer with Rheumatoid Arthritis and a few other ailments. I saw a commercial in June 2022, that Love Sac makes sectionals! I’ve been reading reviews galore for my age range 61. I’ve read older ages and a bit younger age groups. Most are good! Some are not so good. I am attracted to the soft seats and backs. Reviews say maybe. But I haven’t come across anything that even comes close to me and my situation! You need a poster child (me)! To pick up the age and the issues category that so many like me fall into! I know that this would open up a whole new market for your company! I know from my research that it isn’t thereI I plan to visit your local showroom soon. I recently had two surgeries, battled with two cases COVID December and one in February that almost killed me. I still want to check your product to see if it could be comfortable enough for someone like me. Best of luck to you! Watching your video I believe in you! Thanks for listening! 😊 Lisa Gentry, Fort Worth, TX. 76123

From Utah. Never knew they were too. Huge inspiration!

I love the sac! I like how your company started very interesting God Bless you!

Such an inspirational story for an awesome product. 🤸‍♂️

Great story, makes me more happy I bought my first sactionals!

Got my kids lovesacs and the ottomans last year. They and their friends jump, dance and flop all over them. They look as good today as when we first opened the box. I am sad to hear the fabric comes from China though.

This is truly inspirational!

Love the company idea

What an awesome story!!

Wow, great story. I love the sactional product and I wish I could afford it.

Great story, thanks for sharing. Wish more companies would do this. :)

love your story!

I wish lovesac would make a smaller version of the couch as a dog bed

[In my research for furniture, saw your: conscious capitalist ? talk] waow...I thought I was going to watch this for about a minute....whata' great story ~ I'm totally inspired and when I can "invest" I'm totally in...now I'll head up to the Burlington store to check it out. = }

Love your story.

Brilliant.

Inspired by your story. thanks for sharing

Incredible Story!

Yessir! Love this guy

I love this story. We are investing in sectionals soon!

cool video i love the lovesac super sac bean bags

Very inspiring bro!!

Great story

Ok I hope I'm not the only one focusing on the empty picture frames on the wall

Aww👏👏. I love love your story. 2/16/2019 I bought a "M" seats 7 and 8 sides. So happy be apart of God's vision for your life. From one entrepreneur to another

Hmm… I speak American lol also a little mandarin. Grats! was just looking at buying a $7k love sac sofa and found this video… Keep hustling- But based on the story I think the margins make up for all the “hardships” lol

very inspiring

Really cool story mostly, as long Lovesac doesn't exploit/underpay workers anywhere.

Good Karma, you've been blessed and you're very inspirational! Chinese isn't an easy language to pick up, you've got skills! Is there a video of you speaking Chinese? lol

HI, IS there any way you can get them shipped to Alaska again? I have one sac bit really want the sactionals. Please try!

I have wanted his love sac it is not a bean bag as I have known. They look so soft and comfortable. If it's has the feel almost close to my Tempurpedic mattress I just have to get one. Recliner's give my old weary back to much back pain. Anyone out in the world that has one please tell me if is truly soft and very comfortable 100 percent. My fair city doesn't have a love sac store. I don't like my great grandkids lying on the floor. It would be an awesome treat for them when they visit. I'm waiting and listening world. The company offers a 60 day trial.

Do all of their sectionals lean sideways like that when you apply weight to one side?

What’s the Player Sac????

Now I can make one for myself without havin to pay over 1k for a fuckin sack

i watched this whole video wtf

great story, and you have a great product design. Too bad you really need to work on your quality control. I saw the Sactional in the store and was impressed. then I came home, and read reviews about covers with threads sticking out, fabric stretched to far, and mismatching pieces, and clamps that won't fit. I wanted one in the store, but now after reading about it, I think it is way too much money for poor quality. Good design. Poor execution. To bad, because I would spend my money on it, if there was higher quality..

Hi I'm. Old. Women. 56 years old the only think i want. Is. Carry out my bed easy nothing heavy and i hope lovesacs help me lot if so i say. Thanks. I steel am waiting for my. Lovesac bed.

So are you proud that they didn't make any money off your order?

no offense but i hope that chair you are sitting in improved over the years. looked like you threw leather over a soft sponge. you look like you weigh just over 150 lbs and you flatten that cushion into a pancake.for the price i expect much better. good story but i am a consumer who expects to pay more for a good product and not expensive junk. plus are you made in America yet? last i saw you were manufactured in China

This is capitalism at work. Socialism would not allow this kind of story.
