A bean bag bean chair comfortably follows the contours of your figure when you sit on it. This excessively indulgent feeling is after all the main reason for choosing a well-heeled bean bag chair over other furniture. They had finally surmounted its Achilles heels since its inception in the mid 20th century.
Today this type of furniture is more than simply a cushion-like device that serves the purpose of a chair. Essentially, a bean bag chair is a large vinyl or leather sack filled with actual dried beans or polystyrene beads. The user’s weight is supported by the beads and the outer shell basically molds around the body. While still keeping the placeable shape and its purpose, today’s furniture alternatives make it possible to sit, sleep and lounge.
The bean bag lounger has become popular option along with the chairs. The basic idea to provide support as the user changes position is still the same. The only difference is that the lounger is a little longer and wider. It serves other purposes than sitting. This elongated bean bag can serve as a daybed for a guest, a chaise lounge on the patio or even by the poolside.
A recent hybrid innovation in bean bag furniture is the sofa with a sturdy base and style and comfort of a bean bag. This is oversized and can accommodate three people. The filler makes it possible to sink into the sofa and contour the body with ease while the base keeps the furniture in place.
A bean bag chair is very appealing to students and young adults who are less concerned about standard furnishings and creating a formal look. It is lightweight and can be easily handled by a person and carried home in a regular car. It is also often associated with dorm rooms and first apartments due to its affordable price and appeal.
Manufacturers continue to try other possible mixture fills such as, soft polystyrene beads and small pieces of reclaimed plastic while natural bean fills was once the only option. Eccentric variations of fabrics are also considered in the construct of bean bag furniture. The most common is cotton with a microfiber lining to protect the filling from water. Velvet and silk are also available.
For unique and fresh appearance, bean bag chair cover can be ordered custom-made with zipper and easy to wash to keep it clean always. Another option is to find one with a removable outer sleeve which is easily removed and washed.
The price ranges from US$100 to US$200. The cheaper ones can cost under US$100 and cheaply in garage sales around campuses at the end of school year. They are also available online just make sure there is flexible return policy for you cannot try it out first.
