Dive into Comfort with the iBeani Quishion: Your All-in-one Throw, Blanket, and Cushion.
"Soft, light, easy to fold and versatile - easy to recommend over a traditional cushion due to it's versatility. Quality pretty much justifies the price."
Hello fellow outdoor enthusiasts, it's your favourite seasoned camper, Geoff K. Now let's not get too surprised with today's product on our review - the iBeani Quishion, a hybrid of a throw, blanket, and cushion. I'm a classic canvas man with my trusty four-footed companion, Jess, snuggled beside me under the night sky. But, when this intriguing item crossed my path, I had to give it a whirl.
Having pitched my tent from the rocky landscapes of Scotland, to the seedy pine woods of Finland, I've more than four decades of camping experience under my belt, or more aptly, my sleeping bag. This has taught me the importance of smart packing and choosing versatile gear. So, when comfort, practicality, and portability promise to come in one nifty package, you bet it gets my undivided attention.
Without further ado, let's dive into the world of the iBeani Quishion and see whether this product can make the rough wilds a bit more comfy, and whether Jess approves, of course! Brace yourselves, this is not your regular product review, it’s all about a seasoned camper's perspective on a bit of newfangled comfort!
Features
The iBeani Quishion can function as both a cushion and a full-sized quilt or blanket. Unzipping and unfolding into a quilt takes mere seconds. The product offers a space-efficient solution due to its dual use. In its cushion form, the dimensions are 45 x 45 cm. When expanded into a quilt or blanket, it measures 190 x 140cm. It boasts high-quality manufacturing and provides warmth and comfort either as a cushion or a blanket. Additionally, the iBeani Quishion's design and functionality make it suitable to be used as a home, caravan, camping, or travel accessory.

Highlights
The iBeani Quishion serves as a swiss-army knife of comfort for those seeking warmth and convenience in the wilderness. As an outdoor enthusiast myself, I can vouch for the Quishion's versatile use - a comfortable cushion serving as seat padding during the daylight and transforming into a cosy, toasty blanket for the chills during the night, just as quickly as it takes to unzip it. Its efficient size allows it to easily pack up, making it an invaluable addition to our motorhome, on our travel sojourns or fishing retreats.
The quality of the Quishion does not disappoint. Its manufacturing standards are top-notch, causing no compromises on the warmth and snug comfort one gains from this product, be it as a scatter cushion or as an unzipped toasty quilt that is significantly large. This isn't a product that only shines in practicality but also scores in aesthetics. It's a well-made contemporary scatter cushion to start with and the visual appeal doesn't reduce a bit when it's a full-fledged quilt.
The Quishion has been a hit among my fellow campers too. Given that it's such a valuable addition to their camping gear, the price point hasn't deterred them. As campers, we often are on uncharted paths, embracing the challenges and tranquility nature unfurls. The iBeani Quishion only adds a touch of cosiness and convenience in such adventures. It's not just a product, it's an experience that enhances our camping escapades.

Concerns
Despite the clever concept of the iBeani Quishion, the quality of the product leaves a little to be desired. The fabric feels slightly rough, akin to a material that's been washed multiple times and lost its soft and smooth texture. Additionally, there were a few loose threads which further indicated that the quality was not top-notch. While the size of the cushion is decent, it's smaller than an average throw cushion, which can be a bit disappointing.
The iBeani Quishion also falls short when it comes to value for money. The price is a bit steep considering the quality of the product. While it's nicely packaged and could be given as a gift, the cost to quality ratio is not quite perfect. The throw, when opened, is not as thick as one would expect, although it does provide enough warmth. Overall, while the iBeani Quishion is a decent product, it may not be worth the investment for some.
Should You Buy?
In summary, the iBeani Quishion is a fascinatingly versatile product, perfect for those who enjoy the great outdoors. It's a feat of convenience, quickly transforming from a cushion to a blanket as required, and is compact enough to join me on various adventures, from travels in our motorhome to quiet fishing retreats. The quality seemingly matches its functionality - warm, cosy, and pleasing both as a contemporary scatter pillow and a full-scale quilt. It's definitely more than just a product, it's an accessory that profoundly enhances our wilderness experiences.
However, it's not without its shortcomings. I found the quality of fabric to be underwhelming, feeling inferior and lacking the delightful softness you'd want from a product of this kind. I also spotted some loose threads - not an encouraging sign, but easy to fix. Additionally, the size may leave you feeling shortchanged if you're expecting a full-sized throw pillow, and the cost to quality ratio might not hit the mark for some.
So, to address whether the iBeani Quishion is worth the investment, weighing up the balance between the convenience and the quality is the key. If you place higher importance on the utility, versatility, and compactness, overlook the fabric quality and size issues, this could be an exceptionally handy addition to your outdoor activities. Its transformed usability makes it an easy recommendation over a traditional cushion. That said, for those seeking premium quality, the iBeani Quishion might not fully satisfy. In a nutshell, for an outdoor enthusiast like me, despite the flaws, the Quishion's versatility and utility make it worth having around. Ultimately, you'll have to decide what your camping comfort essentials are and gauge whether the Quishion aligns with them.

Awesome Quishon.
This iBeani Quishion is a fantastic product that can be utilized as either a cushion or a blanket. It's perfect for use in a campervan where there's limited space. I'm actually planning on purchasing another due to its exceptional quality.
Presented in a Good Packaging
I appreciate the concept of the iBeani Quishion as it serves as a combination throw, blanket, and cushion. It perfectly caters to my desire to eradicate clutter whilst being able to cozy up with a blanket for TV time or reading. Its color perfectly suits me and its size is just right for a chair - although, it's a little smaller than a standard throw cushion. When in use, the throw isn't particularly thick, however, it provides sufficient warmth. Even though it's a bit on the high-end price-wise, its attractive packaging makes it suitable as a gift. I purchased one to evaluate its quality but I don't see myself buying more. The price doesn't quite match up to the quality for me.
High-Quality iBeani Quishion
I purchased a pair of the iBeani Quishion's as a present for a couple that owns a motorhome. They were thrilled and found them to be an ingenious concept. The cushions possess an exceptional quality and are beautifully crafted. Pictures do not accurately capture their true value. Unzipping to reveal an ample-sized, comfortably warm quilt added to their appeal. To wrap it up, these excellent items were packaged thoughtfully, adding the perfect final touch.
An adaptable, handy iBeani Quishion.
While the price tag was slightly steep, it served as a beautiful gift for my wife and she truly adored it.
Such smart, very handy.
I purchased these for our camper. They serve as wonderful support on our seats during the day, and turn into warming throws at night - such an excellent bargain.
Comfy and Cosie
The iBeani Quision is a fine product, reasonable for its price, although some loose strings reveal that it's not the epitome of quality. It serves well as a camping blanket, especially since I'm indifferent if it sustains some damage from outdoor use.
High-Quality Product
This 'iBeani Quishion - Combination Throw, Blanket and Cushion' is a truly delightful product, offering a snug and warming experience.
Super comfortabl.
This 'iBeani Quishion - Combination Throw, Blanket, and Cushion' is fantastic both as a pillow and as a blanket. I personalized it with my daughter's name, and she's absolutely thrilled with it.
Smart idea, but low-quality fabric
I gifted this as a Christmas present, and whilst the concept is ingenious, the texture of the material is disappointing. The fabric feels inexpensive, not as smooth or silky as expected, rather it feels somewhat coarse, akin to low-cost material that's been laundered repeatedly, losing its soft, sleek feel. Otherwise, the cushion is sufficiently large and holds it's form well after being converted back from the quilt. The quilt is exceptionally lightweight, yet provides warmth and the size is adequate. The hue is appealing and the pattern can enhance a sofa remarkably well.
Compact and Ideal for Motorhome Use
Purchased this as a gift with our motorhome in mind. It has performed beyond expectations, serving as a convenient extra blanket/duvet that can be swiftly stored. I had encountered substantial fuss on social media about this product, which led me to fear it won’t meet expectations, but in truth, it’s superb. I would absolutely recommed it.
