What Type of Bean Bag Will Work for My Space?
So, you’ve decided that you want a bean bag in your life? Good choice! Bean bags don’t only look great, but they’re enormously comfy, and they’re actually surprisingly good for you. But now you’ve made up your mind to buy one, you’re faced with a big decision: which bean bag will work for you? Let’s talk through your options.
How to Work Out What Type of Bean Bag Will Work for Your Space
How much room do you have?
When you’re deciding on any furniture purchase, the available space must be a priority. And that’s equally true for bean bags. While bean bag furniture doesn’t ‘splurge’ as much as traditional bean bags used to, for comfort, you don’t want to squeeze your bean bag into a too-small space. So, while a Mega Mammoth sofa might appeal to your comfort drive, it’s going to be impractical in a smaller room. So, maybe something like a High-Back beanbag might be more appropriate. Equally, however, if you’ve a large space to fill, a more diminutive seat, like the Sloucher chair may get lost. So, buy the right size for your space.
What do you want to use it for?
This is another key question to ask before selecting a bean bag. Because, just like any other seat, different bean bags have different functions. If you’re looking for a bean bag that can be used in social spaces or for the family to share, a bean bag sofa might be the better solution. While for solitary seating, you have a whole host of choices. For gaming or for working, gaming bean bags can provide postural support while giving you the space to freely move your arms. While a Lounger bean bag or sofa hammock could be the perfect solution for your ‘me time’ reading nook.
What room do you want to use it in?
Lastly, the space you want to use your bean bag in should also dictate your choice. If you’re looking for a bean bag for a conservatory, patio, or even a playroom, you might want to select an outdoor bean bag. Why? Because they’re water resistant and easy to clean. You just have to be certain that you’re making an age-appropriate choice, as not all bean bags are suitable for young children. But there are plenty of designs that are made specifically for the younger age groups. For more formal areas, shaped seats, like the Charles Vinitsh bean bag chair might be a better choice. While if you’re looking for a more relaxed vibe, something like the Archi bean bag chair or the Sabine bean bag sofa might be more on point.
Bean bags are considered ‘fun’ furniture. They’re comfy and snuggly and impossibly inviting. But that doesn’t mean that choosing the right one doesn’t require thought. If you buy the right bean bag chair or sofa for your home, it can be a brilliant investment. It can last you years, adding comfort and style in its own inimitable way. But don’t rush the process. Brush off your tape measure. Browse the available styles. And think about the look and feel that you really want to achieve.
