Bean Bag Chairs Buying Guide
Ah, those big bean bag chairs! We loved them as kids and now your kids love them. The difference now is bean bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes, not to mention how affordable bean bag chairs have become. They’re timeless and the ultimate in comfort and relaxation.
Kids love these fun oversized bean bag chairs, partly because they’re so comfortable and there’s no etiquette they’re held to. Falling into one of those giant bean bag chairs is only half the fun. They’re versatile, can be moved from room to room and throw several together and a sleepover is declared.
Children’s bean bag chairs are a great way to decorate their rooms. For boys, several bean bag chairs in the shapes of footballs, basketballs and soccer balls is their way of furnishing their room. And why not? They certainly provide the relaxation factor.
For girls, bean bag chairs allow them to bring color and personality to their rooms when they choose those shaped like stars, flowers and of course, the traditional solid color rounded bean bags.
Although most of us think of bean bag chairs as pieces for our kids’ rooms, they’re also easy to incorporate into the family den. Think Friday nights, after a long week at school and work, pizza ordered in and movies. These are the memories families build together. Matching bean bag chairs to provide comfort for everyone, a few laughs, entirely too much junk food and what do you know, you’ve suddenly reconnected with your kids.
Unlike the bean bag chairs from the 1970s most of us grew up with, today’s bean bags are available in many different sizes and fabrics. Some of these fabrics include velvet, vinyl, cotton and even suede. Fillers are becoming more eco-friendly too. Hemp is quickly becoming more commonly used in bean bag filler and cotton has been used for years as an alternative to the traditional bead filling.
Bean bags are unique in that you don’t have those hard measurements required when purchasing sofas, recliners or dining room furniture. Even the oversized bean bag chairs are easy to store or toss into a corner when not in use. No furniture pieces have ever been so versatile.
