Cushions and Covers > Choosing a Bean Bag

Bean Bags now come in a range of shapes and sizes, from the size of a family sofa to a toddler's chair.  Finding a bean bag to suit not just your home but your lifestyle should be fun, so before you start think about your reasons for choosing a bean bag as an item of furniture and how you will be using it.

Being hunched over a desk or working in a restricted space all day can lead to the build up of muscle stress and pain.  Your back and shoulders will thank you for investing in a bean bag which will ease any discomfort and muscle tension that has built up during the day due to its capacity to mould to the body and offer support where needed.  A bean bag offers a constantly adapting ergonomic design, fully responsive to the sitter.

Essentially a bean bag is a leather, vinyl or fabric sack which contains soft pellets which move around in response to the sitters position, forming a comfortable and supportive chair.  Bean bags are ideal for movie nights; video gaming or even reading, as depending on the product chosen it will also provide a headrest, and no matter how much you move around it will still provide unyielding support during each period of use.

One of the main decisions you will need to make will be about size, whether you want a single person bean cushion for gaming etc or a sofa sized model for cosy nights in front of the television with your loved one.  When you have selected the appropriate size you can think about fabric type and colour to ensure the bean bag will fit in with the rest of your furniture and decor.  Whatever you choose your joints and spine will thank you for it in the long term.
