COMFYMAXXING

Maximizing comfort until movement becomes an avoidable implementation detail.

OPTIMIZE FOR SOFTNESS.

What is COMFYMAXXING?

Comfymaxxing is the deliberate optimization of warmth, softness, convenience and the ability to remain comfortably in place. It was one of the early humorous extensions of the maxxing suffix and reveals how easily optimization language can be redirected from achievement toward lying down.

  1. Discomfort is a configuration error.

  2. The charger should come to you.

  • comfort has become a legitimate design discipline
