Cordaroys started the way all great ideas do, in a garage, with a little curiosity and a lot of determination. Back in the late ’90s, our founder had a simple goal: to make a better bean bag. The kind that wouldn’t go flat, wouldn’t rip, and would actually be comfortable for life.
That drive turned into the world’s first convertible bean bag chair — one that turns into a bed.
From a $15 sewing machine and a few rolls of corduroy fabric, Cordaroys was born.
The beginning of better comfort.
Family-owned and operated since the start, Cordaroys set out to reinvent comfort. Instead of flimsy vinyl and messy beads, we used premium foam and durable fabric built to last for generations. The first chairs were hand-sewn, stuffed with high-quality foam, and made to handle real life — pets, kids, sleepovers, and everything in between.
Closing stores, opening doors.
After a decade of hands-on growth, we closed every retail store to focus fully on online sales. It was a bold move that paid off — people everywhere started discovering the comfort that unfolds inside every Cordaroys chair.
From garage to national TV.
When Cordaroys appeared on Shark Tank, millions saw what our customers already knew: this was no ordinary bean bag. The product’s “wow moment” — transforming into a bed — turned heads nationwide and sparked a wave of new fans.
Bringing comfort full circle.
Comfort shouldn't stop at the bean bag. With years of foam expertise, we launched the CordaRoy's Mattress — built with the same premium materials and craftsmanship that defined our chairs. It marked a new chapter: from living rooms to bedrooms, every product centered on one promise — comfort that never deflates.
Comfort that stands the test of time.
More than 25 years later, our mission hasn't changed. Our oldest chairs — over 15 years old — are still in use today. And while the world fills with imitators, we're proud to stand by our craftsmanship, CertiPUR-US® certified foam, lifetime guarantee, and authentic story.
Cordaroys isn't just a bean bag company. It's a comfort company — made for family, by family.
