Bean Bag Chair!

[JuAPple]

Hi i am looking to buy a bean bag chair! i hear those are really comfortable and either way i have always wanted one sooo bad! the problem is i do not know how big i should get it sincei do not know what the right size is for me! i am 19 yrs old and of course i am not a child anymore! :]

i found one online for 20 $$$ and the dimmensions are 21x21x21.... not so sure if it is too small is it? i saw one at walmart.com and it was 24x24x30 it has a picture of a girl who is about 16-17 yrs old maybe younger, the chair looks like a right size but not sure! should i get a chair that is 30x30x30's or in the range of 20x20x20's is fine? please let me know i do not want to buy a wrong chair!(bean bag chair)

Get the best of the best, the LoveSac! They're full of memory foam and extremely comfortable.

21 inches...is like a big basket ball. With bean bags you want the biggest you can find. Don't go cheap or (probably) less than 6 months you will be cleaning up styro balls all over your house.

I second the LoveSac

im a 6:4 250 pound male and papasan seats me comfortably. I think it will handle you.

WoW those things are pricey. I'm all about quality but I have a hard time swallowing 219-1069 bucks for a bean bag. No wonder they can afford to have a Sac Hummer Limo and a Sac boat.

So up to over a grand for some foam and a cloth bag....I don't think so. 219 is the small one. The regular one is over 400. I guess you will want to buy a snuggy with that, and wile you are at it I have a bridge for sale.

Sounds to me like those "LoveSacs" are just a status item.

Leme guess...the limo gave them away?

I had one... It was prior to them getting designer names though. I guess it would now be the "Movie Sac" size.

I liked it, I slept on it, I watched tv on it, Smashed on it...etc

Left it at the ex's.......


If you all think its too expensive and not worth it... pick up a bean bag chair from WalMart....cheapskates...

Hey now.. you can get a decent bean bag for 50-100 bucks. no need to pay that much for a bag of foam. WalMart BBs suck. That's why I said not to go cheap. They end up dropping little styro balls all over the damn place. But 1000 bucks is ridiculous.

I agree, but if you use it as a regular chair, it's not the end of the world.

A decent occasional chair(Broyhill,JLouis,GuildCraft) will set you back $400-600. So for $300-400 its about right for their sacs.

They should be less then a reg chair since all the manufacturing process entails is: Sewing the cover, shreading the recycyed foam, and stuffing it in a box to ship. A regular upholstered chair requires building a frame, webbing it, install the cores and dacron, and then covering it. Way more work, and time.

I should try and make one at the shop.... I have all the fill, I just need to get a cover made.....hmm, some one who sews...."Ohhhhhhh Laurie...."

Man, I bought a lovesac a couple years back and the regular size was like 200! I can't believe the price has gone up so much!

Although, they are pretttty great. A friend of mine uses one for a bed haha

How much is the fill? I have a cover already from an older bean bag that the dog got a hold of.. We patched it up nicely but we didn't get it filled up all the way, so we stored it.

 

[JuAPple]

you can get fill almost anywhere! on ebay it s pretty cheap! 2.4 square ounces for like 4 bucks! and 4.5 square ounces for 8! pretty cheap!

 

[Syn]

No idea how I'd find out how much I'd need. T_T

Just go to an upholstery shop and ask if they have any scraps laying around. Then you get to spend 3 days shredding it by hand.

Jay, I totally agree that 400 for a main chair isn't too bad. But for a bean bag? Like you said production is little labor, and materials..well it's foam and cloth. For 400 bucks it better be leather! Now that I would pay for.
