Bean Bags: Acceptable in the eighties

The main reason that bean bags have seen a resurgence is down to the improved design and manufacturing process. No longer do we have to spend hours cleaning up polystyrene beads after "another" accident. Today's bean bags are well made, durable, and fit for purpose.

Made with high quality materials, triple stitched, and compliant with European manufacturing standards - bean bag manufacturers have got their act together.

The bean bag industry as a whole has grown up.

Manufacturers have borrowed ideas from their more illustrious design counterparts, and we now have bean bags that feel every bit like a real chair. Six panel designs taken from the Recaro racing seats and real chairs modeled on the traditional armchair. You can even find whole sofas made of beans. Lightweight, durable and great in a faux leather finish.

Bean Bags are now available in water resistant materials, making outdoor bean bags perfect for a hot summers day. Gaming bean bags are designed specifically for those long gaming sessions, and are available in a range of sizes to suit players of all ages. Further more, a multitude of colours and styles are available, from large faux leather bean bags to brightly coloured kids bean bags.

So when you tackle your next refurb you may want to consider bean bags as a viable option. They're relatively inexpensive, extremely well made and provide excellent comfort. And because they are a perfect example of modular furniture, you can easily maneuver them to suit any occasion.
