Bean bags aren't just for college dorm rooms or children's playrooms anymore — they're a cozy and functional seating option for any space, for adults and kids alike.
"Bean bag chairs are fun, affordable seating that can be thrown anywhere, which is so fun!" Decorist designer Ellen Fleckenstein told Shop TODAY via email. The chairs have evolved beyond the old sacks with beans or beads and have become much more stylish, with velvet upholstering and even Sherpa material.
"Leather bean bag chairs can be a great option for teens or adults — they get better with age as they wear and get a nice patina," Fleckenstein said. Plus, they're easy to wipe down, should there be a spill, she added.
Kristy Kay, Principal Designer at KristyKayDesign, prefers a washable, removable cover. "This ensures the bean bag stays in great shape regardless of the activity be it sitting or snacking, and unscathed from the inevitable kids art project or movie night," Kay told us via email.
Filled with memory foam and available in more structured forms, you can also find more supportive options than the ones you had as a kid.
"I tend to stay away from the bean bag chairs that are filled with polystyrene beads. They are a huge mess when you need to refill, and you need to refill periodically," Fleckenstein said. "Foam bean bag chairs are a little pricier, but worth every penny."
When it comes down to the specifics of size and materials, you'll want to double-check your measurements and consider whether you're going to move the bean bag around the house, Kay said.
"If it's a child's playroom, I like a smaller scale bean bag that offers some support as a reading chair, for example," Kay said. "If it's extra seating in a main living space, I prefer more of a flexible shape that offers a comfy perch depending on the occasion."
Some of these chairs can even span across seasons, functioning as both indoor and outdoor furniture.
"We love our two outdoor bean bags and here's why - they're light and moveable," Kay said. "Be it a sunny day to snooze out on the grass, or we throw them in the truck and off to the beach they go for a picnic. A quick hose down after the fun and they're back in business."
