Unlike the bean bag chairs you might remember from your childhood, today’s models have seriously grown up. They’re available in just about every shape, size, and color. Here are a few things to consider when shopping for your own bean bag chair:

• Size: Modern beanbag chairs come in a wide variety of sizes. From budget models designed for just one person to bean bag “couches” for couples to massive, six-foot wide versions from Lovesac, there’s an adult bean bag chair that’s sized for your needs and the amount of available space in your home.
• Fill: The majority of bean bag chairs are filled with polystyrene. They’re most common in low- to mid-quality chairs because the material is cheap and lightweight. Unfortunately, it’s not biodegradable, making it the least eco-friendly option. Polyester beads are a slightly better option as they’re nontoxic, hypoallergenic, and typically recycled. However, they’re often not recyclable when you’re ready to dispose of your bean bag chair. Other common fills include natural latex and compressed or shredded foam. Each type provides a unique feel when sitting down. So, if you’re particular about your seating, you may want to try before you buy, and be sure to shop retailers with a generous return policy (minimum 30 days with free return shipping).
• Cover: Many bean bag chairs include a removable, machine washable cover. Not all do, however, so you may want to confirm this before buying.
• Price: Affordable adult bean bag chairs can be had for under $200, while the most luxurious and oversized models run north of $1,000. The biggest factors that separate the two are overall size and fill quality.
