Why did this viral Kmart item vanish from their shelves?

Kmart offers great bargains from furniture to home appliances; the store's shelves are always stocked with quality products.

One of their most popular items is the Boucle Cream Flip Out Sofa, which is currently on sale from its original price of $39 to just $19!

The product is actually a small white chair designed for children, but it seems that it could fit one of your four-legged friends as well.


That’s right! The small chair is quickly gaining recognition for being the right size for a cat bed, all thanks to one inventive customer.

Emily, a creative and crafty mum, showcased how the comfy child-size chair was the perfect fit for her adorable kitty, Luna.

She recently shared a video of her beautiful black cat Luna lounging on the miniature piece of furniture playing with her toy chicken, and people were absolutely entertained!

'This is your sign to get the Kmart Boucle Cream Flip Out Sofa for your cat,' Emily captioned the heart-melting video.

The adorable video quickly gained popularity in just a few days—with lots of pet-loving members of the online community being inspired to get one for their cat and quickly rushing off to the store.

'Just got one, and he loves it,' one social media user wrote.


Videos of other people purchasing this adorable little sofa also surfaced. Many of them urging more pet-lovers and owners alike to get one for their pets, too.



'Sold out online. I’ll have to hunt! I have the big chair, and my girl loves it,' sympathised another.

'Influenced. I just went and bought one,' penned a third.

The versatility of this product, from child chair to cat throne, isn’t something entirely new.

One social media user humorously noted, 'We had one like this for my nephews. Now they are older, my dad has it on his bed for his cat. You know, the cat he didn’t want.'


Another cat lover named Mia shared a video of her setting up a corner in her house with Kmart’s Boucle Cream Flip Out Sofa as the main focus.



It's certainly a great product for cats of all shapes and sizes, providing them with a comfy spot to relax and keep watch over us all.

Unfortunately, this surge of demand saw the handy sofas sold out online… sure enough, the item has vanished from the online stores!

But there's no need to worry; word has it that some Kmart stores still have them in stock soon.

The funny thing is whenever you have a tip that Kmart has something worth trying there is never any of the items left in my local Kmart. ie yesterday I went looking for the lint removal disks at $4.00 in the laundry aisle and also the magnetic shelves as when we move I will use one on my washing machine, But NO such items were there. So after my wander around I ended up with more blank cards & stencil brushes instead of what I went in for. After commenting to the lass at the door how dissatisfied I was that we are turning into America with all the Halloween stuff on sale while not being able to buy anything for Australia Day in-store.
