A bean bag chair is a low floor seat that moulds to the person using it. Newer adult models are filled with shredded foam or foam blocks rather than loose beads, so they hold their shape and arrive compressed in a box. Covers vary from plush faux fur to corduroy and velvet.
The six chairs below run from compact 3 foot rounds to a long lounger with armrests. Sizes, fabrics and filling come from each product’s listing page, and where the listing disagrees with itself we say so. We have not used these chairs ourselves. Weight and durability statements are the makers’ own.
