Bean bag chairs are a modern take on the traditional bean bag. They’re much more comfortable than they used to be and can be found in a huge range of colors, shapes, sizes, and fabrics. You’ll find bean bags in homes, dorm rooms and offices everywhere! But with so many options out there, which one is best for you?
Decide between memory foam and polystyrene
The first thing you’ll want to decide is whether you want a bean bag chair made with memory foam or polystyrene. Both have their benefits:
- Memory foam is more expensive, but it’s also more durable and usually more comfortable. You can always try out a different type of material later if your needs change or your budget allows for it, but once you’ve bought a chair made with memory foam and find that it isn’t working for you, there are no second chances here!
- Polystyrene is less expensive than memory foam, but it also doesn’t last as long (most bean bag chairs use some kind of combination of these two materials). The biggest difference between these types of fillers though is how they feel against your skin: while both are soft enough not to be uncomfortable on bare arms or legs during extended periods of sitting still (which might be good news if you’re planning on using this bean bag chair as an extra seat), polystyrene will generally feel slightly firmer under pressure than its counterpart due to its lack of give when compressed over time—and this could become an issue if anyone else in the room happens
Decide between a bean bag chair and lounger
With all the options out there, it can be a little overwhelming to choose a bean bag chair for you. If you’ve ever wondered what sets these two types of seating apart, we’ve got some answers for you!
- Bean bag chairs are more practical: Bean bags are specifically designed to be used in small areas. They’re great for kids’ rooms because they can easily fit into smaller spaces and come in lots of fun colors and patterns that will keep them entertained while they lounge around. If you have limited space and need something that’s easy to move around when needed, then bean bags are probably the right choice for you.
- Loungers offer comfort: Loungers provide extra padding on top of their sturdy polyurethane base so they feel super soft on your backside while still being durable enough not to collapse under heavy use (like if someone wants to sit down). However, loungers aren’t as portable as bean bag chairs—they’re usually bigger than standard-sized seats but smaller than recliners or sofas—so make sure whatever area where you want yours fits within those dimensions before purchasing one!
Choose your size
There are many things to consider when deciding how big a bean bag chair should be. First, think about who will use it. Do you plan on using it by yourself? Or do you plan on sharing it with another person or two? The answer will affect the size of your choice.
Second, consider the room in which you’ll place your bean bag chair, as well as its dimensions. If the room is large enough for a larger piece of furniture and you have the space to spare, then a large bean bag may be better suited for your needs than one that fits into smaller spaces more easily—it depends on how much space everyone has available! You don’t want something too large for their tastes either though; if anything try out different sizes before purchasing anything so that everyone can agree on what works best together (and maybe even mix & match).
Choose your shape
Once you’ve decided on the style of your bean bag chair, it’s time to think about the shape. There are generally three shapes: round, square, and rectangular. Each one offers different advantages depending on the amount of space you have—and how many people will be using the chair.
Round-shaped bean bags are great for small rooms because they require less floor space than their square counterparts. They’re also good for small children because they’re hard to tip over, but still give them enough room to sit up straight and play with toys or read books on “their” pink mug.
Square-shaped bean bags are wonderful in large rooms like living rooms or bedrooms because they take up more space than round chairs do while still giving everyone plenty of elbow room (or leg room).
Rectangular bean bags are best suited for lounging purposes—they offer more back support than other shapes since there is no curve along one side where it touches your body when sitting upright in a chair like this would provide
Consider the fabric
The fabric of your bean bag chair is an important consideration because it can affect the comfort, durability, and overall quality of your product. It’s also worth noting that fabric types are not necessarily interchangeable—you need to use a certain fabric for particular applications. To make sure you find the best material for your specific situation, think about how each type of fabric performs in different areas:
- Cleaning: How easy is it to maintain cleanliness? Is there anything you need to avoid doing when cleaning this type of furniture?
- Durability: What kind of wear can this material withstand before becoming weak or torn? Can it stand up to children’s play without ripping or tearing apart?
- Comfort: Does this type of material feel soft against your skin? Is there enough padding so that sitting on this piece feels pleasant instead of uncomfortable (even after extended periods)? If so, then consider purchasing one with this type else choose one that has similar properties like comfort but isn’t quite as luxurious as those listed above! You’ll likely still get some decent results even if they aren’t exactly what we listed here today–just keep these factors in mind while shopping around!
