Bean Bag Chairs Are Loved By All Kids!

Bean bag chairs are some of the most comfortable sittings that a parent can offer to his kids. But with one bean bag chair being the perfect one for its owner, they are some of the most individualistic and personalized furniture pieces to have around in a kid’s room or even in the sitting room. For such a unique type of furniture, you need to make the right choice when buying them. Here are some of the things to consider when purchasing a bean bag chair for your kid’s room.

Comfort

A bean bag chair is as good as it is comfortable. It should be comfortable to sink into or snuggle deep into and laze around. This means that it should not be too small or big for the kids to rest in. Bean bag sits are normally one-size-fit-all types of sits, however, you should be careful to choose the right fit for the kids. These have more diminutive frames to fit the kids and are small sized. If a grown up tries to sit on these, then he is likely to find himself spilling out of the bag. Most of the manufacturers specify the diameter of the bean bag they make, so getting a kid-sized variety should not pose an issue.

Shape

Purchasing kid’s bean bag chairs is not only about the size. Getting the right shape is quite important when selecting a bag to be used by your kids.

The inner stuff

You might think that what is stuffed inside the bean bag chair is not something of importance as long as it is soft. This is far from the truth as what is stuffed inside the bean bag decides its comfort and softness factors. With every slight turn a kid makes, some bean bag chairs produce weird noises and are quite noisy. These   should be avoided as they will inconvenience other people in the places they are set. A bean bag chair stuffed with soft but hard stuffing will depress with the weight of the user but still remain firm enough to support his weight. The stuffing should also be durable as the chair is comfortable to sit in. Cannon-balling into the bean bag like the kids always do when playing should not destroy it.

Polystyrene beads are a good option for stuffing a bean bag chair. These are recyclable and strong enough to take the heaviest of the weights and still remain springy. The on disadvantage with this form of fill is that it compresses with time, meaning that the bean bag chair will need a refill once in a while. Some people prefer urethane foam as their perfect filling option.

These however cannot be refilled as the fillings are contained in a liner. Fortunately, as they the fillings are contained in a liner, the top cover can be washed without disturbing the filling. This type of a bean bag chair is more appropriate for the kids as the cover can be washed immediately it gets stained or dirty.

The exterior look

Bean bag chairs are some of the most versatile types of furnishing around the house.  In this regard, although the shape is an important factor to consider when buying, the fabric used should also be aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean. The commonly used exterior fabrics include leather, faux fur, satin, nylon, cotton, plastic and vinyl. The difficult to clean outside covers, for example those made of suede, faux fur, corduroy and the likes should not be purchased for kids use. Depending on the materials used, the price range for kid’s bean bag chairs is between $50 and $500 dollars.
