In the quest for creating the perfect relaxation nook in your home, the decision to buy a bean bag chair is anything but simple. You may be wondering whether bean bag chairs are comfortable; however, the answer is far from black and white.
It's loaded with variables from the type of filling used to the choice of cover, and everything in between. Each element plays an important role in determining the comfort level of a bean bag chair, influencing not just how it feels when you sink into it, but also how it supports your body, adapts to your lifestyle, and even contributes to your space's aesthetic.
It’s All About the Chair!
Imagine sinking into a chair that just gets you—where comfort meets your unique style head-on. That’s the magic of a well-crafted bean bag chair. Yet, the secret to finding your perfect spot to unwind isn’t just about picking any bean bag off the shelf. It's what lies within and the stylish cover that brings it all together.
Fillings Matter
When it comes to bean bag chairs, what’s on the inside really does count. The filling not only determines how comfortable the chair will be but also its supportiveness, durability, and even its environmental impact. Here's a closer look at the common types of bean bag materials:
- Expanded Polystyrene (EPS): Lightweight and able to retain shape, expanded polystyrene beads are the classic bean bag filler. However, EPS beads’ environmental footprint and potential for static cling are drawbacks.
- Expanded Polypropylene (EPP): Known for its durability and resilience, EPP can withstand more compression than EPS without losing shape. Expanded polypropylene is also recyclable, making it a friendlier choice for the planet.
- Micro-Beads: These tiny beads are incredibly lightweight and can mold to your body for unmatched comfort. Yet, they can be less supportive over time and can pose a choking hazard for small children.
- Natural Fillers: From rice to dried beans, natural fillers offer an eco-conscious alternative. They can be heavier and may not provide the same level of comfort and malleability as synthetic options.
- Eco-Friendly Polyfoam: This is what sets CordaRoy's apart. Our polyfoam, cut into randomly shaped pieces, ensures full-body comfort and outstanding support. This shredded foam is even a green choice—free from ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP, TCEP (“Tris”) flame retardants, mercury, lead, and heavy metals. Plus, our foam filling boasts low VOC emissions for superior indoor air quality.
Choosing the Right Cover
The cover of your bean bag chair is like the cherry on top—it's what everyone sees and feels. Here’s how to pick the best bean bag cover for your chair:
- Fabric Type: The feel of your bean bag can vary greatly with the fabric. From the luxurious touch of plush microfiber to the robustness of durable cotton, CordaRoy's offers a variety of cover materials to match your comfort and style needs.
- Removability and Washability: Life happens, and so do spills. A bean bag with a removable and machine washable cover is a lifesaver, ensuring your bean bag chair remains fresh and clean, no matter what.
- Style and Aesthetics: Your bean bag should be a reflection of your personal style and complement your space. With over 200+ removable and washable covers to choose from, CordaRoy’s makes it easy to find the perfect look. And if you ever feel like switching things up, it’s a breeze to change your bean bag’s cover!
Is a Bean Bag Comfy to Sleep In?
When it comes to catching some Z's, a bean bag chair might not be the first thing that springs to mind. Traditional bean bags, with their casual slump and embrace, are perfect for lounging, gaming, or nestling into with a good book. But when the lights go out and it's time to lay your head down, you might find yourself asking, "Is this really the best spot for a good night's sleep?"

My Bean Bag is Uncomfortable, What Next?
Finding the perfect spot on your bean bag only to realize it doesn't feel as cozy as it once did can be a letdown. But before you write off your beloved chair, there are a few tricks you can try to bring back the comfort you miss. Here's what you can do:
- Flip and Fluff: Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective. Your bean bag might just be in need of a good flip and fluff. Over time, the filling inside can become compressed and unevenly distributed, especially in areas of frequent use. Giving your bean bag a thorough shake, flip, and fluff can help redistribute the filling, reviving its original comfort and shape. Think of it as a quick spa day for your bean bag—minimal effort for maximum coziness.
- Refill or Replace the Filling: If flipping and fluffing doesn’t cut it, it might be time to consider a refill. Bean bags can lose their plushness and support over time, leading to a less comfortable sitting or lounging experience. Adding fresh filling can restore its former glory, making it feel brand new. For a seamless match with your existing setup, CordaRoy’s offers a booster pack, specifically designed to add that cozy boost back into your insert. It's an easy and effective way to extend the life of your bean bag and ensure it remains your go-to spot for relaxation.
- Upgrade the Cover: Never underestimate the power of a new cover. Sometimes, the issue isn’t with the filling but with the fabric covering it. Whether it's due to texture, wear, or simply a change in personal taste, replacing your bean bag's removable cover can significantly enhance its comfort. Opting for a different material or texture can transform your experience, making your bean bag feel softer, warmer, or more luxurious.
Before you give up on your bean bag, give these suggestions a try. You might just rediscover the comfort and joy it brought into your home in the first place.
If you’ve tried all the above and still find your bean bag lacking, it might be time for an upgrade. CordaRoy’s chairs are not just about innovative bean bag designs and comfort; they’re about bringing a sense of joy and relaxation into your home. With their unique convertible feature, eco-friendly polyfoam filling, and stylish, comfortable covers, a CordaRoy’s bean bag chair isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s an experience. Whether you’re lounging, working, or drifting off to sleep, CordaRoy’s ensures your comfort is never compromised.
