From polyester to cotton to a wide variety of fabrics, bean bag chairs come in a multitude of materials, all of which will determine their level of comfort, quality and flexibility. A cotton or polyester version will work well if you want something simple and classic, but if you want something soft, go for a velvet or faux fur option.

Almost all cheap bean bag chairs are pre-filled with polystyrene beads, but some give you the option to add your own fillings or even add more as you feel your chair losing volume. If you would like the option to regularly top up your bean bag chair with extra beads, opt for a piece with zips or a removable cover.

Bean bag covers can either be washed in the machine or wiped down with a cloth to clean. To keep your bean fillings safe and together, put them in an easy fill wash bag whenever you wash your bean bag cover.

There’s a bean bag chair for every age group, from children to teens to adults. They can come in all shapes and sizes, from large high-back chairs for adults to small and lightweight cheap bean bag chairs for children that can be moved around wherever your kid wants to sit.
