Choosing a bean bag - Comfort
Posted by karen | Filed under Design & Manufacture, General News
Happy new year! Let’s take this opportunity to finish our mini-series on how to choose the ideal bean bag.
Comfort
Most bean bags will provide a casual, comfortable seat or somewhere to perch for a cup of coffee, a laid back half hour in front of the TV or curled up with a good book.
However, in order to get the best or the most comfortable option for you, we would highly recommend speaking to your seller before purchasing. Our friendly customer service team will help you answer questions like:
- - size & height of the person who is predominantly using the beanbag
- - the way it will be used (eg. TV, reading, gaming)
- - the position / size in the room
As a rule of thumb, bigger is always better! If you want to use the beanbag to sit in for several hours at a time, a larger size will give you more support and more room to manoeuvre.
As bean bags have developed, a bean bag can offer many more seating positions than they originally did. For example:
The gaming bean bag sits you lower to the floor, but provides loads of back and neck support.
A Whopper huge bean bag sits you higher up off the ground, but its traditional bean bag shape means you can move the beans around to get into your ‘bum groove!’
A Bazaar Bag gives you loads of scope for a variety of positions, for lounging flat out to sitting in a ‘canoe shape’ with loads of back support.
Finally our more structured sofa bean bags act like more traditional furniture with armrests and a comfortable seat.
NOTE a quick tip from the experts - if a bean bag may feels initially uncomfortable it could have too many beans in it! Therefore just let a few out and keep them in a safe place to top up the beanbag at some point in the future and you will usually find a much more comfortable seat.
Over time polystyrene beads will compress or flatten, therefore top ups/refills can be a fantastic way to rejuvenate what is likely to have become your favourite seat. Check out bean bag refills for very reasonably priced top ups.
