According to Tianmu News, videos of the man first went viral earlier this week.
As it turns out, he and his friends had filmed the video at Hangzhou Metro Line 2 before posting it online.

Speaking to reporters, he shared that they had reached out to a designer to customise the product.

He appears to be the picture of comfort as he reclines on the plush sofa alongside other commuters.
Tianmu News reported that the man had asked the subway staff beforehand if he was allowed to carry the item.

According to the Hangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau, commuters can carry items of up to 30kg.
Additionally, the group also made sure to travel during off-peak hours to avoid inconveniencing other commuters.
