The full sized 5.5 Foot Jaxx Pillow Sak has long been a favourite bean bag chair of teens and adults who want to lounge but want to sit upright. Not everyone wants to lay back and relax. Some people want to work on their laptop or tablets and need head and back support. The 5.5 Foot Jaxx Pillow Sak provides great supportive lounging. You can sit back and relax with head and back support, support for your spine and legs all while working, reading or chilling.

The 3.5 Foot Jaxx Pillow Sak is very versatile. It can be shaped and moulded into various positions so kids can really lounge the way they like. They can lay it flat and stretch out, even use it as a mattress when they want to have a sleepover in their sister's room.

They can roll it and fold it and play with it and really connect in a tactile way. It can be part of a living room fort building spree, folded against a wall for reading, or leaned against a wall out of the way when more floor space is needed. There are a lot of options with the Jaxx Pillow Sak.

When it comes right down to it, kids love them. They are truly attracted to the Jaxx Pillow Sak like bees to flowers. If there is a Jaxx Pillow Sak in the room, the kids will find it and gravitate towards it. They love the comfy softness. They love being able to sit close to their siblings and friends.

Best Kids Bean Bag Around - The 4 Foot Jaxx Cocoon Bean Bag

Parents and Kids just love the 4 Foot Jaxx Cocoon bean bag chair. It is our most popular kid's bean bag chair because it is the most versatile chair around. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this bean bag.

The 4 Foot Jaxx Cocoon measures 48 inches across and about 18" thick when in its original floor pillow shape. When positioned this way, kids can lay on it to play games on the floor, to do homework, listen to music or watch a movie. It is easily supportive enough to be used as an extra bed for sleepovers.

The 4 Foot Jaxx Cocoon can be repositioned a couple of different ways. If stood on end and squished in the middle, the Jaxx Cocoon becomes a terrific nest of a chair. Kids are cozily cocooned into the chair and can snuggle and read, play video games, watch TV or just chill. You could also squeeze in together to have some quality snuggle time. Due to the nature of the shredded foam filling, the bean bag will hold its shape so once moulded as a chair, it will stay as a chair.

If stood on end and squished toward the end, the 4 Foot Jaxx Cocoon will become more of a cocoon pod that will enfold a child in a lovely embrace. Perfect for quiet time and settling down wild behaviour.
The 4 Foot Jaxx Cocoon is large enough and has enough fill to support two or three kids sitting together or an adult on their own. Create a cozy nook in the den or the playroom and you can snuggle, read, do puzzles and just talk about the day together.
Maybe you have a small space but your child still wants a bean bag chair. The 4 Foot Jaxx Cocoon can work very nicely in this situation. It can be placed in a closet, slid under a bed or leaned up against a wall when not in use to free up floor space. Also, since this bean bag chair is large enough to support an adult, you could replace a traditional piece of furniture with this chair. The fabric colour options are trendy and match today's decor quite well.
These bean bags are made to last and come with a one year warranty against manufacturer's defects. They stand up to wear and tear quite well. They never need to be refilled and will provide many years of comfortable lounging.

The Jaxx Kid Club Junior is an ideal bean bag chair for kids. It is made with kids in mind and offers the youngest kids a super comfy spot to nap, play, romp or sit.

Truly, this square pyramid-shaped bean bag makes a super comfy nest for toddlers up to about age 8. It is designed with the smallest kids in mind so it does not have a lot of foam fill. It has just enough to support a smaller body weight, allowing them to sink in and get comfy.

Learning to read? Working on math puzzles? Create a fun nest in their bedroom and they won't fight so hard when it is time to get down to it.


This bean bag chair has lovely tan piping on the seams just to add some visual flair and to keep those seams together. It comes filled with shredded Ecofoam which is safe for use in your home. The foam filler is ground up furniture cushions, the same as you have in your sofa. The foam is held inside a nylon inner liner so the cover can removed and washed easily.

The Jaxx Kid Club Junior measures 30" x 30" x 18" and comes filled with 8 pounds of foam. It is a lightweight bean bag chair that offers great supportive seating for either sitting upright or relaxed lounging.

Jaxx Bean Bag Chairs - Great Value or a Big Waste of Money?

Just recently I posted a few things on a social media site. The reaction I got was very surprising. I got comments like, this is $30 worth of materials, you can win these at a carnival with a good ball throw, as well as others. All the comments were negative and indicated the writers thought the product was cheap and worthless.

I was quite surprised by the comments because I know the Jaxx product and I know the superior quality of these bean bag chairs. It made me think, though, and I wondered if others shared this mindset and thought Jaxx bean bags were over expensive crap.

I can understand the thinking. As in any product, there is good quality and poor quality. When it comes to bean bag chairs, there are some half decent quality bean bags that are less expensive but they are few and far between. Truly if you are paying less than $100 for a bean bag chair these days, you are getting a relatively low quality chair that will last for a short period of time. I have had many customers tell me they purchased a $30 bean bag chair and the seams broke or the stuffing went flat or it wasn't comfortable. This is fairly normal. In general, these bean bag chairs are mast produced off-shore and there is little regard to quality.

4 Foot Jaxx Sac Bean Bag Chair

Interestingly, this is where the Jaxx Bean Bags stand out. They are produced by a manufacturer that cares about quality, that cares about sourcing materials locally as much as possible, that cares about their ecological footprint. They are a member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council which is a group of furniture manufacturers working to make the industry more sustainable.

In their own words, "Making designer bean bags and furniture is great, but doing what we can to protect the world we live in is even better. It gives us a certain sense of accomplishment we’re very proud of."

Further to that, Jaxx Bean Bags are priced competitively. They are not the cheapest bean bags around nor are they the most expensive. They are more of a mid-range price in the bean bag market. The saying, "You get more than what you pay for" is true with Jaxx. You are paying for a bean bag chair that has high quality foam filling, a nylon liner and an upholstery grade cover. The materials that go into making Jaxx bean bags are the same materials that go into making traditional furniture. You are getting value when you buy a Jaxx bean bag chair - a high quality bean bag for a fair price.

4 Foot Jaxx Lounger Bean Bag

When it comes to bean bag chairs, it seems to me you want to buy yourself a very good bean bag chair that will last for years, will never need refilling and will be safe for use in your home.

To me, this is most important thing: you want a bean bag chair that is safe for your kids, for your pets and for you! On top of that, you want a bean bag that is comfortable and will provide the lounging experience you are searching for.

Jaxx Bean Bags do exactly that.  The ECO foam filler is safe for use in your home. It is shredded foam that is repurposed foam from off cuts in the furniture industry. It is the same foam you would find in any sofa cushion in any furniture store. The foam is multi-density which offers a super comfy yet supportive seat.

Shredded Polyurethane Foam

The rip-stop liners are nylon and are water resistant. They stand up very well to wear and tear and contain the foam so that it does not end up all over the place. Having a nylon cover is great because the cover can slide over it easily which makes the bean bag that much more comfortable. As well, the liners stand up to wear and tear quite well.

Moisture Resistand Nylon Liner

The covers are made from either microsuede or US made Cone denim. The microsuede is upholstery quality and is made to last. The fabric stands up very well over time looking like new for years. It is easy to wipe up spills with a damp cloth but when necessary you can throw the entire cover in the washing machine and dryer and it comes up beautifully. The Cone Denim is one of the last denims to be made in the United States. It is a beautiful fabric and definitely stands the test of time.

Machine Washable Bean Bag Cover

I understand the thinking that bean bags are cheap and throw away. It is because there are a lot of them that really are low quality. We have worked with many bean bag manufacturers and have had some who used to make their own product go off shore. We no longer work with these companies because quality dropped considerably. The quality of the materials that went into the bean bag chairs was poor and it showed in the product.

As it turns out, Jaxx Bean Bags are the exception to the rule. They stick with high quality: the fabrics, the foam, the workmanship, all are well above average. We like knowing where the product we sell comes from. We like supporting local manufacturers who actually make a super comfortable and affordable bean bag chair. We like offering bean bag chairs that are safe for use in your home. We like selling comfort to you and your family!

So for those people who feel Jaxx bean bags aren't good enough or are too expensive, we're sorry for you. You are missing out. You're missing out on a uniquely comfortable lounging experience.

Fun Lounging in a Jaxx Pillow Sak

Hanging out at the lake this past weekend on a Jaxx Pillow Sak. Everyone had to try it out and it was a big hit with everyone, even the dog.

Brother-in-Law #1 has a bad back and cannot sit anywhere comfortably for any length of time. He was able to relax and drink a beer pain free in the Jaxx Pillow Sak. He was pretty impressed.

Jaxx Pillow Sak

Turning the Jaxx Pillow Sak flat and it becomes quite a comfortable bed for shorties. Definitely wide enough for sleeping but not long enough for legs unless you curl up. Sure comfortable though.

Jasper thought the bean bag was pretty great and was sure it was his new dog bed.

Jaxx Pillow Sak

Brother-in-law #2 sat further back and didn't get quite as much back support. He had a great foot rest though. And of course, Jasper had to pose for a picture.
Jaxx Pillow Sak
We sure loved this Jaxx Pillow Sak. Niece and nephew curled up in it together to watch a movie on the iPad. It was a perfect little nest for them. I was impressed with how easy it was to move around. I didn't have any problem bringing it up from the basement or taking it back down to lean against the wall.

Need to get another another as one is just not enough!

What to Look for When Choosing a Bean Bag Chair

Bean Bag Chairs are a great way to dress up any room. They are great in a child's room as the perfect support for the gamer or as a nest for the reader in your family.

Bean Bag Chairs work great as extra seating in your family room, they can be easily stored in a closet and pulled out when the kids have friends over or when you host a party.

Sitting in a bean bag chair is a cozy nest for your guests and is much nicer for lounging than sitting in a hard chair.

Fabric
With the wide variety of bean bags available on the market, there are a wide variety of fabrics available. Vinyl is very common in bean bag chairs, although some people feel that vinyl is too sticky and not as comfortable as fabric bean bag chairs.

Vinyl is easy to wipe up and keep clean which is a definite advantage. When selecting vinyl ensure the fabric uses lead-free vinyl inks.

Other bean bags come in leather, microsuede, denim and cotton. If possible when choosing a fabric, look for a bean bag chair that has a liner so that the cover can be removed and washed periodically.

Regardless of the fabric you prefer, look for a high quality fabric. The fabric should use lead-free vinyl inks and stand up to wear and tear as they are pushed and pulled in all directions.

Since they sit on the floor the fabric must be durable and stand up to wear and tear so the bean bag will last for many years. The seams should be double stitched for added strength as you do not want the bean bag chair to spring a leak.

The bean bag should come with locking zippers ensuring children are kept safe from being able to open the bag and ingest the fill or suffocate from climbing inside.

Size


When looking for a bean bag chair, look at the shape that best suits your needs.

Bean bag chairs with a pear shaped design offer better back support because they are taller and cover more of your body.

The flatter pancake shaped bean bag chair works great for two people or as a coffee table substitute.

Some bean bag chairs are designed specifically for children; they are smaller and adjust better to small bodies.
Look at shape and dimensions of the chair when making your choice to ensure they meet your needs.

Some bean bag chairs are moldable and can be shaped to suit your lounging needs.

If you need diversity in your seating then you'd be better off choosing an adjustable bean bag.

If you want extra seating or want to replace a traditional furniture piece in your home, then going with a standard bean bag in the best size for your space, is going to be ideal.


Fill

When choosing the fill for your bean bag chair think about how you prefer to lounge. Different types of fill create a different lounging experience.

Polystyrene beads are light and make the chair really easy to move around. When you sit on polystyrene beads the seat is firm and supportive. The beads will shift around you.

The drawback to polystyrene beads is they flatten over time and you will have to re-fill the bean bag.

Shredded polyturethane foam fill is quite popular as a fill type because it lasts for so long.

It does not break down and keeps your bean bag comfortable for many years without the need to refill.

The shredded foam is soft and lets you sink into the chair yet provides a good amount of support.
For those wanting to avoid chemicals in their home, there is natural latex foam which is shredded foam from the Rubber tree.

It is all natural and resists mold, mildew and dust mites.

The challenge with latex foam is its density. A lot of latex foam fill is required to fill a bean bag chair. As a result, the chair is heavy and the cover and seams are at risk of splitting.

Generally, only small bean bags will be filled with latex foam because of this.


Finally, there is Superfill.

Superfill is a combination of a polystyrene beads and polyurethane foam.

Superfill is a great combo fill giving you the lightness of the polystyrene beads and the softness of the shredded foam.





Design


The greatest thing about Bean Bag Chairs is the range of designs available for an affordable price. You can select just about any design and fabric you want.

When designing a room in your home you can use the bean bag pattern as a guide to build the rest of the room or use the bean bag chair as a highlight.

When trying to determine which bean bag chair is the best one for you, ask yourself how you like to lounge. How will you use the chair? Reading? Watching TV? Gaming?

Each of these activities will have you sitting in a different position and you want to ensure that the bean bag you choose matches how you want to use it.

What is Natural Latex Foam and Do I want my Bean Bag Filled with it?

Latex is the name for the "sap" that comes from the Para rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. Latex is a sticky, milky substance drawn off by making incisions into the bark much like the process of collecting sap for maple syrup. The fluid is collected in vessels and the process is called tapping.

The latex is combined with water to make a thick suspension which is then whipped to froth and poured into molds. The froth is heated to a point of vulcanization where cross links are formed, creating the unique ability to re-shape itself after compression.
The majority of latex foam used in home furnishings products is processed using either the Dunlop method or the Talalay process. The Dunlop method was first developed in 1929 and is the process as described above.

In general, the Dunlop method is the most natural and organic process, adding few chemicals other than those required to complete the vulcanization process - zinc oxide, stearic acid and sulfur among others.

The Talalay process follows the same initial steps but then adds steps and blends natural rubber latex with synthetic latex. The Talalay process produces latex foam that is a blend of natural rubber latex and synthetic latex.

As natural latex is rubber, it is very dense. This makes it an ideal product to use in mattresses and cushions because it provides terrific support to the body and recovers its shape afterwards.

Latex foam is soft and supportive, providing a firm surface upon which to lie. It is very durable and can last for over 20 years without deterioration.
It is a natural product and free of harsh chemicals decreasing the likelihood of allergies and chemical sensitivities. It is naturally mite and mold resistant. It is a renewable resource, the trees grow on plantations and live for about 30 years, 25 of which are latex producing. All of these characteristics make latex foam ideal filler for bean bag chairs.

However, latex foam is different from traditional polyurethane foam which is traditionally used to fill bean bag chairs.

It can be shredded but it is very dense and rubber-like. As such it is heavy and does not take up a lot of space.


In order to fill a bean bag chair and have it be comfortable to sit in, a large quantity of latex foam is required. This makes the bean bag unwieldy, heavy and awkward. Depending on the fabric of the bean bag cover, the latex foam may be too heavy and the seams or fabric will tear due to the sheer volume of latex foam required to fill the chair.

So long as the chair is kept small, filling it with latex foam can be successful. Trying to fill larger chairs just does not work as well. It is not impossible, just be prepared to have a heavy duty liner and cover than can support the weight of the foam, and know that it will not be something that is moved around much. The bean bag will also be quite firm to sit in, more so than a traditional bean bag chair.
