Born from Passion, Built to Go Global

We’re the Yap brothers. Born in Malaysia, raised around furniture and design thanks to our dad. After graduating from university in Melbourne, we skipped the nine to five and took a leap of faith, selling furniture on eBay. That hustle became Lifely*, one of Australia’s fastest growing furniture brands, known for trend setting designs at prices that make sense. Now we’re chasing the U.S. dream with the same mission and a bigger playground. We're focused on creating smart, stylish furniture that makes everyday living better, one country at a time.

How Cushie Was Born

It all started with a simple question: What if a sleeper sofa could feel just like a real bed?

We were tired of the lumpy mattresses, noisy metal bars, and complicated setups. So, we got to work—mixing real mattress comfort with a modular design that actually looks good in your living room.After countless late nights (and more than a few naps on prototypes), Cushie was born. A sleeper sofa that’s comfy enough for everyday use, stylish enough to show off, and smart enough to fit any space.

Built Like a Mattress. Designed Around You.

Cushie isn’t your average sleeper sofa. We literally built it like a real mattress—using pocket springs, memory foam, and support layers you’d expect from a proper bed—then wrapped it in a sleek, modular frame that hides it in plain sight.

But we didn’t stop there.

Every version of Cushie has been shaped by real customer feedback. From making it easier to move and rearrange, to tweaking firmness and improving setup time—we keep listening, testing, and improving.

Because great design doesn’t come from guessing. It comes from building with you, not just for you.
