Safety and Cleanliness Above All
Ok, so what’s there so special about this bean bag that people from all the corners of world find it so comfortable and attractive? We’ve decided to dig a bit deeper into details shedding the light on some important characteristics. The polyurethane filler inside the chair maintains the form pretty well, conforming to anatomic curves of a user regardless of what age or build he/she is, which makes it a suitable chair for a versatile use. Owing to easy-to-maintain fabric used for the chair, it’s also a simple job to keep it clean. You’ll never face a challenge of wiping it clean or rubbing in some detergent, microfiber cover is easy to clean off stubborn stains either using a wet cloth or in a washing machine. What we also liked about this particular bean bag is that it’s presented in 16 color options. That allows people to choose a suitable bag to fit the interior of their room. A zipper on the bag won’t let your kids get inside and take a filler out, which is also great considering how bad sometimes children’s behavior can be.
Extras
Even if you haven’t got a bean bag at home more likely than not you’ve had a chance to sit on it. If compared to any conventional chair, bean bags in the majority are much softer and comfortable to have a rest on; they are also quite big and can be transformed into a bed easily. The question is though who was the first one to think of designing a chair made of fabric and stuffed with a soft filler? Why the idea got to the most, making bean bags so popular around the world? You wouldn’t believe possibly but the first soft chair in the form of a bean was created almost 50 years ago by Italian designer Din Rodgers. That was him who designed the first chair in a round shape that so much looked like the sea urchin chair. Today, bean bags are created in different shapes to fit a wide range of customers and provide comfort.

Hostel Origins
Big Joe company is another representative of the companies engaged in the production of bean bags. The company was established by two fellows, Matt Jung and Chip George, both living in a hostel and both grown sick and tired of sitting on uncomfortable rigid chairs. The feel of discomfort eventually made them eager to create something different, something that would contour the body and at the same time, give back support. The shape of a chair wasn’t as important anymore. All they wanted was comfort for many hours use. In a short while, the market was introduced to the first 50 bean bags designed by Big Joe. Within 8 days after the first release, all bags were sold out. Amazing, isn’t it? Yet, it’s just an obvious proof that bean bags from Big Joe are versatile and comfortable pieces of furniture which are favored by people all over the world and not without a reason.
Fuf Foam
Unlike other bean bags, this one boasts a memory foam, quickly adapting to a user’s body. Owing to fuf elastic foam the filler responds quickly to a temperature change; whenever the temperature rises, the chair gets softer, conforming to the body curves much better. Another obvious benefit of this bean bag is that it provides great back support, allowing a full relaxation of stiff and tensioned muscles. Even after 5 minutes of use, you’ll be able to feel a difference. On top of fantastic softness and high-quality material composition, Big Joe bean bag looks truly special and is incredibly pleasant to the touch. It’s also produced in 6 different colors to suit any decor.
Anti-Design Trend
The majority of people who own bean bags believe they have been designed by modern producers who always introduce new solutions dictated by time and fashion trends. However, this isn’t quite so. Bean bags were brought on the market in the epoch of the “swinging” 60s, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Twiggy, mini-skirts and lady’s dining jackets, by three Italian designers, Franco Teodoro, Cesare Paolini and Pierro Gatti who, after getting inspired with the new design trends, decided to produce frameless furniture in protest to all standards and logical rationalism.

All-Purpose Chair
Unlike rival bean bags, Big Joe Dorm Chair is designed in a shape of a conventional armchair (of course, of a much softer texture) to let you use it not only for lounging but also for work. It’s got high armrests and full back support so that your entire body can ease but not so much as to let you fall asleep. The remarkable SmartMax cover adds to wearproof capabilities, setting the chair apart from competitors and making it one of the most durable. In this sense, Big Joe Dorm Chair is unapproachable; you can use it all the time, entrust your kids and keep your mind restful. If any spot is ever left on it, you’ll be able to wipe it clean with a mere wet napkin or sponge. Designers chose an interesting filler solution - polystyrene foam core, - it’s extremely lightweight for it consists of 90% air, and it maintains the shape perfectly well.
Little Extras
Moving a bit further in observing the chair, we’ve noticed some other things that make it a handy chair even more so. On the side there is a pocket for storing things such as a remote control, or maybe a newspaper, CDs, etc. and a cup holder for those, incapable of relaxing without a hot cup of tea. These tiny bits may seem not so much important, however, if you think about, how many times because you couldn’t pause a sport match, a kettle was boiling, you had to dash into the kitchen, then back, and all best moments of the game had been missed. Nothing of that would have happened if you could have a cup right in front of you in the chair. And this is what this armchair can help you with. Another important addition is a double zippered cover that hardly any child will be able to unzip so easily to peer inside.

Lounge on the Sphere
Sphere-shaped bean bags are the most popular and widespread around the world. Due to their unique shape and comparatively compact size, they require little floor space and so can easily fit in a corner of a room. This round shaped bean bag can comfortably accommodate one adult or one or two children. Cozy Sack 4-Feet bean bag sits up really high, so you don't feel like sitting on a floor, and provides perfect head and back support. Cozy Sack 4-Feet bean bag chair is filled with the softest urethane foam. This filler easily springs back to the original shape even after a long use.

Concerning the bean bag's cover, it is made of soft and smooth to touch microfiber. Fortunately, such fabric can be easily cleaned in a washing machine.
The Reasons to Buy a Bean Bag
Unusual and frameless shape of bean bags is hardly a drawback but only one of many other reasons why this fun piece of furniture should be in your home. Here are the reasons why:
- At some stage when you’d like to have kids, you (or your wife) will come in the pregnancy period when sitting long on a usual chair wouldn’t possible anymore. Even though sofa is softer, it is still not soft enough when sitting in any position isn’t comfortable anymore. This is when bean bags come in useful, allowing ladies to take a comfortable position, meanwhile supporting their backs, necks, heads. Bean bags aren’t firm and so, can quickly adapt to the shape of a sitter.
- If you’ve already got kids, you definitely need to purchase a bean bag. It is one of the safest piece of furniture that has ever been created. Children, so active and fussy by nature, play a lot, jumping and rolling off beds and sofas, and you can make their games more fun (and safe at the same time) by letting them play on a beanbag. The moment you bring it home, they will be drawn to it in an instant. Believe us.
- Love to read? Read on a bean bag. A lot of users who spend many hours in a row, reading a book, eventually start to feel like a pregnant lady, seeking a comfortable position. However, in a bean bag, you will have a chance to lean back and totally relax without having your back or neck muscles grow stiff.

LUCID bean bag is a portable chair that you can move around and use in different places owing to its compact size, neat pearlike shape and small weight. People often buy it for nurseries, hostel rooms and living rooms where they cannot afford setting a large armchair. Still, despite rather small dimensions, LUCID bean bag has got a large backrest and can support full body, neck and shoulders. So, if you ponder whether to buy a small bean bag or not to buy a bean bag at all, you should buy and you’ll know it’s been right the moment you sit in it. What we also liked about this model is that its cover is made of durable water-resistant fabric that extends chair service life and simplifies the process of surface cleaning.
What's Inside
The filler of LUCID chair, as the name suggests, is a shredded foam. A different stuff compared to the others but not a fracture worse. Shredded foam is extremely springy which also conditions its great shape maintaining capabilities. You won’t face a problem of bean bag sagging or deformation soon after you let your stout neighbor sit on it. It quickly retains its shape and when someone sits, conforms to the body, just like a memory foam mattress would do. So, if you’d like to get a bean bag but have quite limited room space or/and have a limited budget, why not to consider the chair from LUCID, favored already by so many people worldwide?

What Is a Bean Bag?
We bet the first thing you pay attention to when choosing a furniture is whether it’s going to be comfortable or not. You wouldn’t pick a sofa with a stiff cover just as you wouldn’t go for a hard chair to while your evenings away. Resting is supposed to be comfortable and relaxing and this is where the comfort of bean bags is unbeaten. These soft, oversized seats conform to the shape of a human body and let users dive in cozy embraces of foamed padding. There are all sorts of bean bags on the market which differ in their shape and color so everyone can find the right one for their needs. In our review you’ll find some of the most popular bean bags among customers and hopefully, making a choice would be much easier!
Something we’d also like to recommend you to acquire for household use is folding beds. On having one at home, you’d never bother your head where to let your guests stay overnight. Whereas having a wool blanket will become a win-win solution for any events, sitting in a beanbag with a book or lying on a folding bed curling up in its warmth, wool blankets are handy and useful to have.
What Features to Compare
Size and Shape
Buying furniture is always challenging since you’ve got to decide on its design and material. Just like other pieces of furniture, bean bags are presented in a variety of colors and shapes to choose from. We’d like to tell you a bit more about their design modifications so that you can find the right one for your place.
Before you go any further, decide how big and what shape your future-to-be bean bag should be. There are several shapes available on the market:
- The pear or teardrop shaped bean bags provide ideal back support and allow you to stretch your legs out.
- The flat pancake shaped models accommodate 2 people and can be used as a coffee table when you wish.
- The pillow shaped bean bags can be flattened and serve as a real mattress or you may knead them into various shapes.
- The sack-shaped models generally have the biggest size; they are often used as sofas.
- The chair shaped bean bags provide great back support and give you a feeling that you sit in the softest and the most comfortable chair.
- The sphere-shaped bean bags are the most popular models. These cozy bags are real space-savers and can be placed in any room.
- Bean bags for children are usually made in different shapes of animals and animated characters. Therefore, children can relax in them and even use them as toys.
Materials
The materials used in bean bags production also matter. Hence, you should draw your attention to a bean bag filling and fabric the cover is made of. The softness and comfort of a bean bag directly depend on a filler type. A filler should be spongy to depress your weight and rather firm to support your body. What is important, a filler should be durable and pressure-resistant. There are 2 major filler types that are commonly used in bean bag's stuffing: polystyrene beans and urethane foam. So, polystyrene beans are strong enough to withstand heavy weights and are fully recyclable. But the beans can compress over the course of time, so you should refill them eventually. Shredded urethane foam is more elastic than the polystyrene beans and it doesn't compress in time. So, a bean bag filled with shredded urethane foam doesn't require refilling and, thus, it is more expensive. There is a wide variety of materials a cover can be made of, so you should choose a fabric type depending on your preferences. You should only keep in mind that the bean bag chairs with suede or wool covers are smoother but require careful treatment. While the covers made of leather or water-resistant fabrics are the easiest to clean.
Extras
And the last thing we recommend you to consider is the bean bags' extras that provide ease of use and simplify a lounge furniture maintenance. It is great if a bean bag features a removable cover that can be effortlessly washed. Double stitched and double zipped models are designed with safety in mind as they limit access of children to a filler and prevent from spilling out of beans. Thus, you don't have to worry that your child can unzip a bean bag and accidently inhale a filler. Easy-carry handles allow moving the bean bags around while the reinforcing straps are meant to hold the chair's shape. And for further convenience, the bean bags are designed with drink holders and side pockets where you can store different things.
