Put together this corrugated cardboard frame, add 63 gallons of soil and a pack of grass seed, and before you know it you'll have a grass armchair. Gives new meaning to the term "your ass is grass." It's $114 from the oddly-named British housewares store Purves and Purves.

My lawnmower would tear that thing up!
I like the grass chair idea, but there is no f'n way i'm paying $114 for a bunch of cardboard that I can just get from a liquor store for free, cut out, and put togeter.
65 pounds for cardboard? i'd just as soon make my own for the price of asking for some empty boxes and purchasing a few dollars worth of soil and seeds at canadian tire.
I am holding out for the lazyboy model, where I move a rake to the side, and the grass in front pops up with a spot for my feet.
You have purves, and then you have "purves"
actually it's pronounced "purvis and purvis". sorry to spoil your fun. toodle-pip.
NOT what I envisioned based on the title at ALL! ;)
This is better: http://www.readymademag.com/feature_6_sodcouch.php (Saw it on BoingBoing a while ago.)
I surprised this product was not simply named the "Lawn Chair". Seems far more apropos.
Yes that is better, besides they are playing little fast and loose with the term "armchair" here . . .
I'm holding out for the grass hide-a-bed.
yeah, id rather do it myself, then id customize it to fit me. and id like to lean back, so maybe some fake grass attached to several pieces of reinforced cradboard, attached to the cardboard holding the real grass, would let you lean back?
Why pay that much money for grass you can't smoke?
