In the 1960’s, the iconic “Sacco” chair made its debut as the first bean bag chair. Crafted with a synthetic leather exterior, the chair would forever change the furniture industry. Today, bean bag covers come in a variety of materials, from classic corduroy to plush faux fur and more.
However, with so many options on the market, it can be difficult to determine which material is best for your specific needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a contemporary look or a more modern look for your home, we’ll help you find a bean bag fabric that will effortlessly enhance and elevate your space.
Choosing Your Fabric
Modern bean bags have shifted from being playful cushions to sophisticated seating options. While your first thought may be what color bean bag chair you want for your home, the fabric choice is just as important.
When choosing your fabric, there are three things to consider: cost, aesthetics, and durability. The goal is to invest in a type of bean bag that will last and align seamlessly with your space and budget.
Cost
When shopping for bean bag covers, it’s tempting to go for the cheapest option. However, that initial saving can be deceiving. Cheaper covers often sacrifice quality, whether they lack features like washability or show signs of wear and tear quicker. Over time, you might find yourself replacing these covers more frequently which can cost you more money in the long run.
At CordaRoy’s, we believe in offering real value in our products. When you choose our covers, you’re not just making a purchase; you’re investing in a product designed to last.
Our bean bag chair covers are competitively priced, blending both quality and functionality. Instead of buying several low-cost covers over the years, one from CordaRoy’s might be all you need.
Design/Aesthetics
Picking out a fabric for your bean bag chair is not just about how it feels but also how it can enhance your home decor. When looking at CordaRoy's selection of over 200 cover options, consider more than just the pattern or shade; think about how that material fits in with your current furniture and aesthetics.
A faux leather cover, for instance, can introduce a sleek, modern touch, making it ideal for contemporary living spaces. On the other hand, terry corduroy offers a warm, textured feel for a sense of coziness and comfort.
By carefully selecting and even mixing and matching fabrics, you can achieve a harmonious blend of textures and styles in your home. This will ensure your bean bag becomes an integral part of your home decor rather than just an afterthought.
Durability And Washability
Once you’ve considered cost and the look you want to go for, it’s important to think about the durability of your bean bag cover. At CordaRoy’s, we’ve designed bean bag covers with this factor in mind.
If your cover does get dirty, we’ve made them easy to clean. You can simply remove the outer shell and wash it in your machine with your go-to detergent. While our covers are dryer friendly, we recommend line drying to protect the fabric from wear and tear and extend its lifespan.
Another standout feature of our covers is they are covered by a lifetime guarantee. Unlike other brands that may only cover parts of your bean bag, CordaRoy’s covers the entire product for life if it ever fails due to workmanship. This proves not just the confidence we have in our products but also our unwavering commitment to providing you with a purchase that’s worth the investment.
