Oh Pyramat, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... November 18, 2004
Pyramat is a piece of "gaming furniture," built by gamers for gamers. Let's face it-nobody actually sits in a chair and plays video games. They lay on the couch, they sit on the footrest, they lay on the floor...so why not admit that we're all just a bunch of gaming slobs and design furniture for how we play the game!
I first met Pyramat at a Digital Life convention in New York City. She was sleek, but a little too garish for my tastes-all bright orange and gray. Fortunately, she had a sister that only wore black. Just my kind of gal! I received my very own Pyramat for my birthday and she's shepherded me through an entire game of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II.
Oh Pyramat, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1. You're sexy: The Pyramat takes the awkward pyramid-shaped floor mats and turns it into a thing of beauty by putting something useful in the foam piece that acts as the headrest.
2. You're a Transformer: The Pyramat is quite talented-she folds up, just like those useless pyramid thingies, which means she's a lot easier to store. Even better, Pyramat has multiple modes: you can lay Pyramat out flat or turn her into a chair.
3. You vibrate: It's hard not to love a piece of furniture that vibrates. The Pyramat vibrates when she plays sounds, but it is NOT a rumblepack-enabled device. So don't expect the floor to shake when you play games. It's more like feeling the bass from a speaker.
4. You're easy to control: The Pyramat has a little nifty handheld device that allows the person reclining on the Pyramat to easily control the rumbling and the audio. Which is a good thing when you're killing monsters in Baldur's Gate and one of them decides to shriek at the top of its lungs.
5. You've got a great voice: When your head is between two speakers, the Pyramat's surround sound is so effective that it freaked me out. We were gaming on Halloween and my wife was greatly amused to see me glance left and right, wondering what the clanging sounds in the distance were. Pyramat, you're such a kidder!
6. You're bendy: Pyramat plugs into your TV, so she can be used to just watch TV, videos, or listen to music. Pyramat plugs into anything with an audio output, so that means musical instruments and MP3 players are also fair game.
7. You clean up real nice: Pyramat has zippered compartments for all of the foam inserts. If your cat pukes on Pyramat, it's easy to clean and the cushions can be replaced.
8. You like to bring a friend: Pyramat connects with other Pyramats for the ultimate multiplayer gaming experience. Although I'm not sure I want to lay next to another guy for that long...
9. You give good headphones: You can plug headphones into Pyramat for the ultimate sensory experience without annoying your neighbors with all that noise.
10. You're comfortable: Pyramat is no truncated mat. She's roomy enough at 68" long and 20" wide to lay out flat. Heck, forget gaming, you could just take a nap!
That said, Pyramat could use a cup holder. I mean, what do you think us gaming slobs are doing down on the floor when we're not gaming? We're drinking of course!
But I quibble. Pyramat is a sound investment if you're a serious gamer...or have really gross floors.

I stumbled across this thing in the Urban Outfitters magazine. Laughed it off.
Two months later, I bought one. Now it is an essential part of my gaming experience. Well, tv. as well. I make my girlfriend squeeze on it and watch "24."
If you wanna get sucked into the t.v further than you ever have by being engulfed in sound. I suggest you get this, and hook up external speakers. Get it before Halo 2 comes out, and you probably won't need to leave the house.
Amazing- Best Random Purchase I've made in a while June 13, 2003

Face it, you're probably staring at this thing thinking- what the....
That's how I stumbled upon this piece of furniture, looking for computer speakers and randomly taken to the pyramat item. After reading the near perfect reviews, I decided to splurge a little (it was the end of the exam period- i deserved a toy). This thing is pretty amazing. Here's why if you have the money to buy this, you should:
1) Comfort: this thing is better than most pieces of funtiture in your house/dorm room right now. Forget the fact it has sorround sound built in, I'm talking about the material and comfort of it. All my friends who have used it have loved the comfort.
2) Sound: amazing. the built in speakers simulate a sorround sound effect very well. However, plug in 2 [bad] external speakers (for $... at any electronics store) and get real sorround sound. Pretty amazing, awesome to use for watching or listening to anything.
3) Customer Service: My first pyramat was actually busted. I called them up, no wait, talked to somebody in managment immediatly, they sent out a new pyramat the next day and set up a paid home pickup for my busted mat. Best service I've ever encountered.
4) Just plain cool. Your headrest is a subwoofer. You are sorrounded by sound. You can't really beat that.Drawbacks:
-The 4inch sub could be more powerful, although its right next to your head, but it still could be a little more powerful without getting too dangerous.
-These aren't Altec Lansing speakers...but for the price for everything included you shouldn't expect them (nor are they too far off from the quality of the altec's I have on my computer) So if you're looking for a fun new addition to wherever, seriously just buy this and check it out. For the price it's probably the best, most useful toy you will have bought in a while.
Really cool product January 18, 2003

I saw this thing at CES and I have to admit feeling is believing. I laid down on this thing and forgot where I was for about a half an hour. The bass rumbles along with your controller and the sound is all around you. It was really cool for gaming and I bought one from amazon and i love it.

There's nothing like feeling your chest rumble as you're snipering people on Unreal Tournament. It's pretty sweet for watching DVD's too. It folds up real small so I can tuck it away when I'm not using it. Does anyone know if the tables on the Pyramat website work with this?I don't think anyone should be without this high intensity chair!
