About Us

The slightly unhinged story of how we turned furniture disposal into the world's most exciting extreme sport.

Our Story

It Started With an Old Recliner and a Really Bad Idea

In 2023, our founder Marcus "Skycouch" Rivera was moving apartments and couldn't figure out how to get rid of a recliner. Donation centers were full. The dump was closed. So naturally, he loaded it onto his buddy's cargo plane and pushed it out at 14,000 feet.

The photos were so unbelievably stunning — a faded La-Z-Boy tumbling through cotton candy clouds — that Marcus knew he'd stumbled onto something magical. Within weeks, friends were begging to try it. Within months, SkyFurniture Drop was born.

Today, we've safely dropped over 3,200 pieces of furniture and given 1,800+ people the most absurd, beautiful, unforgettable experience of their lives.

  • USPA-certified drop zone and instructors
  • FAA-approved furniture deployment systems
  • Professional aerial photography team
  • 100% eco-friendly furniture recycling
  • Zero safety incidents since founding
The Team

The Maniacs Behind the Magic

A team of veteran skydivers, photographers, and furniture enthusiasts who somehow convinced the FAA this was a good idea.

Marcus "Skycouch" Rivera

Founder & Chief Drop Officer

10,000+ skydives. Dropped his first furniture piece in 2023 and never looked back. Literally — he was in freefall.

Captain Lisa Chen

Lead Pilot

Former Air Force cargo pilot. Can fit a sectional sofa through a cargo door in under 90 seconds. Doesn't even flinch anymore.

Tommy "T-Bone" Jackson

Head Tandem Instructor

8,500 jumps. USPA Instructor Examiner. The guy who'll be strapped to your back while you pose next to a falling bookshelf.

Priya Sharma

Aerial Photographer

Award-winning photographer who traded wedding shoots for falling furniture. Her work has been featured in National Geographic and Reddit's front page.

Safety First

Seriously Though, We're Very Safe

We know it sounds chaotic, but furniture skydiving is meticulously planned for maximum fun and zero risk.

USPA Certified

Our drop zone and all instructors are fully certified by the United States Parachute Association.

Safe Separation

Furniture exits 3 full seconds before jumpers, ensuring safe distance. You float near it — never dangerously close.

Weather Monitoring

We monitor winds, visibility, and conditions constantly. If it's not perfect, we reschedule. No exceptions.

Controlled Drop Zone

Our 500-acre private airfield ensures furniture lands in a clear, fenced area with zero public access.

Dual Parachute System

Every jumper has a main and reserve chute plus an AAD (automatic activation device) — triple redundancy.

On-Site Medics

EMT team is on standby for every jump. Not that they've ever been needed — but they're there.

Eco-Conscious

We Drop It, We Clean It, We Recycle It

We're not just about chaos — we're about responsible chaos. Every piece of furniture that falls from our plane is collected, sorted, and properly recycled or composted.

Wood goes to local artisans and biomass facilities. Metal is recycled. Upholstery is processed at certified textile recyclers. We've diverted over 45 tons of furniture from landfills.

  • 98% of dropped material is recycled
  • Partnership with local artisan collectives
  • Carbon offset for every flight
  • Annual environmental impact report
