Design Public and Fatboy are offering 25% off the new Fatboy jeans chair to anyone who donates a pair of old jeans to someone in need. That brings the 70-by-55-inch organic cotton bean-bag chair, regularly $429, down to $321.75.

The promotion runs through Friday and is based on the honor system. Pack up jeans and mail them to Fatboy USA, 875 W. Sandy Lake Road, Suite 100 Coppell, TX 75019. They will be donated to the Goodwill in Dallas, Texas. Locally, you can drop them at Isquared, 758 S. Spring Street in downtown L.A. where they will be donated to the Los Angeles Mission. Then use the code LETGOANDGET at checkout for 25% off. Shipping is free.

Furniture companies have been crafting a lot of unusual promotions lately. Minneapolis-based Blu Dot recently hosted a barter-based swap meet where people could offer goods and services for furniture.
