Bean bags grew up. The new ones are filled with foam instead of beads, wrapped in velvet, faux fur or corduroy, and big enough for two. Here are seven, and what each one is best at.
1. The biggest: an 8-foot lounger
The Big Joe Fuf Giant Foam Bean Bag gives about 7 feet of lounging space, enough for two at movie night or a full nap. The shredded foam doesn't go flat; give it up to 48 hours to expand. The corded plush cover comes off for washing.
2. Memory foam in velvet
The Memory Foam Bean Bag Chair, 5 ft has a breathable Dutch velvet cover that resists pilling and comes off for washing, with a hidden zipper, a side pocket and a big carry handle. It arrives compressed, so open it straight away.
In blue, the Velvet Bean Bag Chair, 5 ft uses high-resilience memory foam that molds to you, with a removable velvet cover, a handle and a pocket for the remote.
3. A bean bag with arms
The Faux Fur Bean Bag Chair is shaped like a small sofa, with a built-in back and arms for reading or gaming. It's 34" x 34" and 22" high, filled with shredded memory foam, and takes 6 to 14 hours to expand.
4. A cloud to sink into
The Cloud Bean Bag Sofa has a sculptural, cloud-shaped backrest in faux fur, filled with high-density shredded foam. It looks like a design piece even when nobody's sitting in it.
5. Navy faux fur that springs back
The Giant Plush Bean Bag Chair, XL is deep navy faux fur with a shredded sponge fill that molds to you and springs back. A top handle makes it easy to carry between rooms.
6. Corduroy with a proper back
The Bean Bag Chair for Adults is wrapped in soft corduroy that unzips for washing, and it's designed with a back angle and height meant to support your neck during long sessions.
How to style a bean bag
- Put it on a rug, so it looks placed, not dropped.
- Add a small side table or pouf for drinks.
- In a living room, pair it with the sofa's color instead of matching it exactly.
