Forty Years of Bean Bag Furniture

You may remember bean bag furniture from the 70′s.  Most pieces were filled with the little white pieces of fluff and were made of vinyl.  You probably remember these items as comfortable, but lacking a bit in style.  Many people restricted their use to family rooms or a child’s bedroom.

Today’s varieties can be much different.  They can provide style, as well as comfort.  Many different materials are used to make these items, so you can choose a softer feel.  The classic vinyl is still available, as one of the many options.  Offerings now extend way beyond the simple chair.  There are seats with shape, to provide a bit more back support than the older versions.

Many new colors and fabrics allow you to coordinate the pieces with others in your home.  Club chairs consist of shaped arms and back, with more defined lines.  There are matching ottomans for such pieces as well.  This makes them an option as a decor accent in many different places, such as dens, bedrooms, family rooms, patio rooms, and more.

Some models are as large as sofas or small beds, so lounging or watching movies can be done in complete comfort or relaxation.  Larger pieces such as this are ideal for child guests or sleepovers.  The need to pump air into a portable mattress or pull out a foldaway bed is eliminated.

Fabric coverings for these products include microfiber, vinyl and twill.  Prices range from around $50 for a large basic chair, to $300 for the 7 foot lounger, a cheap lovesac like bag.  Color varieties include pastels, bold and earth tones, to coordinate with other pieces.  Less costly that choosing additional standard pieces for seating, such products may also prove to be more functional. Whatever size and style you get, just make sure you make a bean bag chair be a part of your home.
