The Evolution of the Modest Living Room Bean Bag

• Bean bags have been around for decades starting
  life as a stylish and hip piece of furniture in
  many 1960s living rooms. They then went on to
  become cheap material bags with a handle and full
  of tiny foam beans for the kids to play with or
  sit on while they were watching TV in the 1980s.
  But, they have done a full circle and now bean
  bags are again a stylish piece of interior
  design. But, they are also very functional pieces
  of furniture that comes in all shapes and sizes
  and with all sorts of different covers and
  fillings, and for every age group. Bean bags are
  often funky design features in trendy cafes and
  bars these days.

Where do bean bags originate from?

• Todays bean bags are influenced by three Italian
  designers back in the sixties. Gatti, Paolini and
  Teodora worked for Zanotta Design and created a
  trendy, hip, stylish and comfortable chair that
  was a 60s and 70s must have the very first bean
  bag chairs. Their work can now be found in 25
  museums around the world.

What are bean bags stuffed with?

• Some bean bags are filled with the traditional
  expanded polystyrene beans (EPS). These beans are
  a bit like memory foam mattresses, hug the shape
  of your body and leave an indentation of your
  body when you get up out of them. But they are
  individual beans all packed in together to give
  this effect. EPS is not biodegradable, but there
  are lots of ways that it can be recycled to
  ensure you being as environmentally friendly as
  possible. Or some people use them for arts and
  crafts.

• Some of the newest bean bag chairs are actually
  made of compressed foam, which is known as memory
  foam. This is a form of polyurethane that is
  produced in a very particular way to make sure it
  is thick and dense to create the memory foam
  effect.

• In years gone by, plastic wasnt available and
  bean bags were literally stuffed with beans,
  dried grain, rice or corn.
•  
• There are also expanded polypropylene (EPP)
  beans. These are more common in Asia than in the
  US or Europe. They are durable and return to
  their original shape really quickly after they
  have been compressed out of shape by people
  sitting on them.

What About Bean Bag Safety?

• Bean bags look amazing and are super comfy, but
  they also need to make sure they follow strict
  modern-day health and safety regulations. Some
  safety precautions include bags being made with
  double stitching to prevent them from bursting
  and zippers with removable handles, so children
  cant open them up and get their hands on the
  tiny beans and risk choking on them.

How long do they last?

• It really depends how much they are used as to
  how long they last. If the kids are using them as
  trampolines and toys, then they might not last as
  long as those that are used for more adult
  leisurely use or decorative piece of furniture.
  They should last around three to four years
  before the beans are worn out.

What are the different sorts of bean bags
available?

• There are bean bags shaped as seats or chairs
  that can be used to watch TV or sit at a table or
  desk, and they are also really popular with
  gamers. Other bean bags might be the traditional
  teardrop shape with a handle. Others are six to
  eight feet long for several people to sprawl on.
  Then there are lounger shaped bean bag chairs
  that are great for sitting back and reading a
  book or a magazine.

• Or there is the sack. A huge sack of beans at can
  be sat on every which way, just sinking into the
  huge bag of beans. And then there is the large,
  flat and square version that you can lie on with
  a book or just chilling in the house or garden. A
  small bean bag would make a fantastic footstool.
  But, you can also get a bean bag ottoman.
  Children often love novelty bean bags. You can
  get them with their favorite cartoon characters
  on or shaped as a bird, or dinosaur or animal.

12

• Then as well as the shape, there is the color or
  material to consider. Bean bag chairs can be
  found in every color, every combination of color
  and every pattern you can think of. You can
  choose from faux leather, faux fur, velvet or
  cotton you name it and you can find a bean bag
  to suit your taste and décor.

What sizes are bean bag chairs?

• Childrens bean bags are usually 110 to 120
  inches in circumference, which would be good for
  anyone under four and a half feet. Bean bags that
  are made especially for teenagers are usually 140
  to 150 inches in circumference, which would be
  good for youngsters up to the five foot three
  inches. Adult bean bags would be around 180
  inches in circumference and would easily
  accommodate someone up to six foot tall.
