Jaxx Sac Versus Fuf Chair? Is There a Difference?

Jaxx Sacs and Fuf Chairs are the new wave in bean bag chair technology, if that isn’t an oxymoron! Both are foam filled chairs that provide super comfortable lounging experiences. Both are made in the USA. Both come in a wide range of sizes from small to huge. Both offer removable covers and a round-barrel shape. If you had two inner bags, one a jaxx sac and one a fuf chair, you would likely not be able to tell them apart. There are however, many differences between the two chairs

Fuf or Foof Chairs are made by a company called Comfort Research. The founders created the fuf chair out of an old bean bag chair and some scrap furniture foam. They dubbed it the “foof” chair and a whole new design was created. They became instantly popular because they were so comfortable and affordable.

Jaxx Sacs are a newer release in the marketplace from a company called Foamlabs. Foamlabs produces furniture and mattresses and had so much scrap foam left over, they decided to make foam-filled sacs and call them Jaxx Sacs. They make use of the excess foam and because it is furniture grade foam, their chairs are a high quality product.

Foof chairs come in a wide range of fabrics; you pay more based on the fabric you prefer. You can also pay to have a removable cover which can be removed and washed periodically. Generally I would recommend a removable cover but the covers on the fuf chairs are quite hard to get on and off so you might be better to save your money.

Jaxx Sacs come with a removable, washable cover made with microfiber. The microfiber covers stand up well to wear and tear and zip on and off relatively easily for washing. The different types of microfiber enable you to choose a fabric texture that best suits your décor. The great thing about these fabrics is how luxurious they feel. Now when you add a jaxx sac or jaxx lounger to your home it will not stick out like a sore thumb but blend it and become part of the overall design scheme.

Both chairs have a round barrel shape. The jaxx sacs come in 3 feet, 4 feet, 5 feet or 6 feet diameters. They are all 3 feet tall. The fuf chairs have a few more sizes available in the smaller sizes and they also vary in height. The round, barrel shape comes in 2.5 feet, 3 feet, 3.5 feet, 4 feet, and 4.5 feet. They then change shape to an oblong loveseat shape, in 6 or 7 feet lengths, perfect for two. Foamlabs also has a line of loungers called the jaxx loungers. They are 3 feet wide and tall and can be 5 feet, 6 feet or 7.5 feet long. They are great loveseats for snuggling.

Upon delivery, both chairs require some time to reach their full potential. They come shrink wrapped and compressed to make the shipping cost bearable. When you take the fuf chairs out of their box, they come ready assembled. All you have to do is wait for the foam to fill with air and poof up. After a couple of days the chair will be super comfy. The jaxx sacs and loungers require assembly. The come with instructions to insert the foam into the chair and then put the cover on. The foam can be a bit messy but once the chair is together and the foam filled with air, the chair is terrific for lounging.

Price wise the two chairs are relatively comparable except that you pay more for a removable cover for the fuf chairs which comes included in the jaxx sac. With the fuf chair you have the convenience of having the chair all put together when it arrives but the inconvenience of having to fight to get the cover on and off. The jaxx sacs require assembly but the covers are designed to come on and off relatively easily so clean up is easier. You don’t have to worry about eating and drinking while lounging because you know you can throw the cover in the wash.

The two chairs are both filled with small chunks of furniture grade foam. They are both a high quality chair made by quality companies. The fabric selection for the fuf chairs is fun and colorful whereas the fabrics for the jaxx sacs are luxurious and stylish. Deciding which chair is best for you depends on who is going to use it, where it is going to be used and what it is going to be used for. For instance, if you are purchasing the chair for a small child’s bedroom, the smaller foof chairs in cotton twill would be great. If you are purchasing for a family room or a living room, the larger jaxx sacs in a lovely microfiber might fit your décor better. Whichever one you choose, you cannot go wrong with one of these terrific chairs.
