Modern Bean Bag Chairs vs. Classic Bean Bag Chairs

Stylish, Trendy but Most of All Comfortable - the Modern Bean Bag Chair.

The foam fill of the modern bean bag chairs takes your lounging experience above and beyond the ordinary.  The newer bean bags are no longer filled with beans or polystyrene beads; instead they are filled with shredded polyurethane foam. It is the filling that makes all the difference.  The shredded polyurethane foam is the same foam you find in your standard furniture cushions. The manufacture takes the off cuts from the furniture industry and grinds and shreds the foam until it is in small little pieces.

The shredded foam is soft and allows you to sink into it. Having said that, they are not so soft that you sink to the floor or that you cannot get up out of them again once you’re down.  The foam is soft and supportive:  it allows you to sink down but then it molds to your body and supports you in your favorite lounging position.  These bean bag chairs are actually relatively easy to get in and out of because of the supportive nature of the foam.
 

The greatest thing about these bean bags is sitting in them. Kids love them because they are enfolded and cocooned in the bean bag so it is like the chair is snuggling with them. They feel safe and secure and comfortable.
	Truly adults love them for the same reasons. When it is time to relax, you can really let go in your Jaxx bean bag.  As they come in so many sizes, you no longer have to lounge alone. You can curl up with the kids or your honey and read books, watch TV, snooze, etc.

Besides the fill of the modern bean bag chair, the next best thing would be their look.  Bean bag chairs come in all shapes and sizes and can really be chosen to suit your needs. Have a small space? Look to a smaller sized chair like the 3 Foot Jaxx Saxx – small enough to fit a small space but big enough to hold an adult.
	Have a media room and lots of teenagers? Look to the Jaxx Pillow Saxx, the 4 Foot Jaxx Saxx or the Jaxx Cocoon – all fit adults but offer various lounging options and there is room enough for 1, 2 or 3 people.

Updated, trendy fabrics ensure these bean bags fit with any décor. Soft and supple microsuede wears really well over time and is lovely to curl up in.


New Cone Denim makes the Jaxx bean bags stand out from the crowd. With an exposed YKK zipper, it is like having your favorite pair of jeans wrapped around the bean bag. The more you lounge, the more comfortable it gets.
Finally, the new twill adds colour and energy to any space. The exposed white zipper adds style and flash and really makes these bean bags stand out.


Finally, the modern bean bag chair is made to last. The foam fill lasts for years so you no longer have to worry about beads escaping and scattering across your house or having to find expensive refill to bring life back to your bean bag chair. When the foam compresses you just roll the chair around a bit and fluff it back up. No more messy, yucky covers, simply remove them and throw them in the wash. Good as new! Buying a bean bag chair today is really adding a piece of furniture to your home that will last for years, not something that you will throw away in 6 months.

What to Look for In a Bean Bag Chair

Bean bag chairs are generally not sold in retail stores, at least not the really good quality ones. For the most part, if you want to buy a bean bag chair you have to shop online and purchase sight unseen. This is a scary prospect as you are spending a fair amount of money on an untested product at an unknown website. Returns are a hassle and can be quite expensive.

So before making a purchase ask yourself the following questions to ensure you end up with a bean bag chair that is going to work for you and your family.

• Does the bean bag chair come with a warranty?Does the manufacturer stand behind the quality of the bean bag chair? There are bean bags on the market with no warranties, 30 day, 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and lifetime warranties.


• Does the bean bag chair come with a removable, washable cover? Further to that, can you actually get the cover off the bean bag? If you have a removable cover but cannot get it off the chair it doesn’t do you a lot of good.


• What is the bean bag chair filled with?Polystyrene bead fill is great as they make the chair light and easy to move around; however, they break down over time and you have to refill your bean bag. This can be quite costly and it is not always easy to find polystyrene beads in Canada at a good price. Polyurethane foam fill is great because it is super soft and comfy and it never breaks down so your bean bag never needs to be refilled. It is heavier though which can make moving the chair around more difficult.


• Is the bean bag chair constructed of high quality materials?Check out the quality of the materials that the bean bag is made from. Request swatch samples; make sure that you are satisfied with the durability of the fabric. Upholstery or furniture grade fabrics are the best because they are going to stand the test of time and they are soft and supple. They are more likely to stand up to wear and tear and to look nice in your home for many years.


• Is the bean bag big enough?Choosing the right sized chair can be a challenge, especially as the dimensions are often given in a range of units. If you only have circumference to go by, phone or email the company and get length, width and height. Circumference is not a useful measurement for determining if the bean bag chair is going to work for you. The biggest factor when determining size is the person’s height (and weight). The taller you are the bigger bean bag you need to get the most support and comfortable seating position. This is true for kids as well – age is not always a good determining factor for choosing a bean bag.


• Is the bean bag comfortable?The most important thing in the end is that you like sitting and lounging in your bean bag chair. Look at the size and shape of the bean bag and try to match one to how you want to use it. If you like gaming, you want a chair that will support a more upright seating position. If you like to snuggle and watch movies, you want a bean bag chair or lounger that will support your whole body. Also, check your living space ahead of time and ensure that the chair you buy will fit the space you have.


• Is the Bean Bag Chair Safe for Your Home?What is the bean bag made up of? What is it filled with? Does the manufacturer comply with California Technical Bulletin 117? Is the fill carcinogenic and will it off gas chemicals into your home? These are important considerations when purchasing any furniture for your home. Find a safe bean bag from a manufacturer that cares about your health and the environment.


• Does the company you are buying it from respond to your queries?If you are unsure about what you are buying, phone or email the company. They should respond in a timely manner. Ask questions; be sure about what you are ordering.

Why Should You Want a Bean Bag Chair?

Bean bag chairs have come a long way since they were first created back in the 1960’s. Originally filled with hard beans, then polystyrene (Styrofoam) beads, bean bag chairs were either too firm or too shifty. Somehow, we still managed to fall in love with them. The modern bean bags are filled with shredded polyurethane foam, creating a bean bag that is super comfortable and supportive.

There are many advantages to today’s bean bag chair. They come in many sizes from ottomans up to loveseats and sofas. The shredded foam fill makes it possible to have a very large chair that never requires refilling and that will last for years and years. No more messy polystyrene beads leaking throughout your house, no more need to add fill when your chair goes flat. Instead the foam provides a soft, yet supportive nest designed with your relaxation in mind.

The newly designed bean bag chairs provide for great supportive seating. They stand out in your home as the most comfortable place to lounge. Guests, kids and the family pets will compete to sit on your bean bag chair. You can choose from fixed-seating style bean bags that are chair-like and provide a good amount of back support. Or you can choose from the more mold able options where you can shape the chair to suit your varied relaxing needs – gaming, reading, sleeping, or watching TV.

As bean bags come in a huge variety of sizes, you can choose a chair that best meets your space. You can select a few different sizes to suit the needs of your family. If space is an issue, bean bags are easy to store away and can be pulled out only when needed. Some of the “disc-shaped” chairs can lean up against a wall so they are out of the way unless needed. They really are a great seating alternative to traditional furniture. You get all the comfort with extra convenience added in.

Finally, bean bag chairs are much less expensive than traditional furniture. Today’s high quality bean bag chairs and loungers are made with furniture grade foam and upholstery grade covers. When you purchase one of these modern bean bag chairs it is made out of the same fabric and foam as a traditional sofa, only you are paying a fraction of the cost. Bean bags are ideal for media rooms where you want a comfy place to lounge but do not want to break the bank. As bean bag chairs can be used for many different purposes – extra beds for guests, kid’s sleepovers, dog beds, snuggling, reading, playing video games and more – you are not just buying furniture, you are purchasing an experience, one that will last for many years.
