SELECTING BEANBAG FURNITURE

When selecting a bean bag chair, you should try to bear in mind how it will complement the room. This is especially the case when one is used instead of a traditional sofa in the living room. The following provides a guide to choosing a product that is right for both you and your room.

ENVIRONMENT
The first thing to bear in mind that what the environment is that the chair will be used in. If say it is to be used as a seat for young children, then you may wish to opt for a washable fabric. If your climate is cooler, a chairs manufactured out of faux fur will help keep you warm.

SIZES
The next question to consider, is what size bean bag chair you require. The following are the common sizes, along with tips on who these sizes will seat:
Children's: suitable for small children
Regular: suitable for small children to young adults
Large: suitable for children through to adults. Typically this is the most common size.
Jumbo: suitable for one person or a cozy couple
Double: suitable for two people

COLOR
Finally you should give some consideration to the color of your beanbag chair. Tips include selecting a color so that it matches say curtains or a couch. Another option is to select an alternate color for the piping, so you can match the bean bag and piping to different colors in a room.

COMFORT
Bean bag chairs provide excellent support for your back. The beans mold to the shape of your back and offer support along the length of your spine. It is recommended that people with bad backs overfill their bean bag chair - as a fuller bag will provide particularly good support for your back.

When sitting in a bean bag chair for the first time, you should sit in roughly the middle part of the bag. If you sit too high up in the bag, your back won't be entirely supported, and sitting too low may put strain on your legs. However it is best to find your own favored position on the bean bag chair or sofa - the position that you are comfortable is best.

FEATURES
Regardless of whether you opt for a chair or sofa, you should look for the following features. These all are designed to make using the bean bag a more enjoyable experience:

Lining: On some fabrics lining is essential, otherwise the fabric can stretch or split. In particular, you need to look for lining on bean bag chairs manufactured from fake fur fabric... as this type of fabric will be likely to stretch without it.
Bean Lining / Bladder: This acts as a 'second skin' for the beanbag. If you wish to wash the cover, you can simply remove this lining (the beans are inside this) from the cover.
Safety Lock: This features prevents people from opening the bean bag cover and the beans spilling out. This may not sound like a big deal, however if you have ever had beans spill out onto the floor you will understand how useful this feature is.
Double Stitching with industrial strength thread: To ensure your beanbag lasts for a long time.
Heavy Duty Zips: Seams and zips are key pressure points on the bean bag chair, so heavy duty zips help ensure it will handle day to day usage.
