Bean Bag use in the home

Soft and safe, bean bags can be used to replace chairs and sofas. For a relaxed and laid back look, to a lounge-sitting room, they are fabulous for settling into with a cup of coffee and the TV guide. Also ideal couch style chairs, floor cushions and  great relaxing couches for reading corners and children’s play rooms.

History of Bean Bags

The first bean bag furniture – The ‘Sacco’ Chair(Italian, for sack) was first conceived in 1968 by Italian designers, Pierre Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro. Their anatomical chair consisted  of an outer shell, loosely filled with small polystyrene balls. The loose inner fill allows the outer shell to take on the form and contours of whatever is placed on it-making bean bag chairs very comfortable, as they adjust to the contours of your body shape.

The simplicity of design has inspired many imitators and DIY enthusiasts to create their own bean bag furniture. Now bean bags come in all shapes and sizes. Extremely lightweight and mobile, bean bags are becoming more and more popular, with ‘thirty somethings’ finding uses for them around the home and at the office.

Bean bags for Kids 

Ideal for hyperactive and Autistic children. The furniture can be jumped on, played on, thrown around, pulled and tugged quite safely. Children’s nurseries often use bean bag furniture for its safety and mobility.

Fun spaces can be created for Doctors surgeries or waiting rooms in general. They can be used to create a safe environment where kids can play with minimum supervision.
