The Evolution of the Modest Living Room Bean Bag Bean bags have been around for decades – starting life as a stylish and hip piece of furniture in many 1960s living rooms. They then went on to become cheap material bags with a handle and full of tiny foam beans for the kids to play with or sit on while they were watching TV in the 1980s. But, they have done a full circle and now bean bags are again a stylish piece of interior design. But, they are also very functional pieces of furniture that comes in all shapes and sizes and with all sorts of different covers and fillings, and for every age group. Bean bags are often funky design features in trendy cafes and bars these days.
Where do bean bags originate from? Today’s bean bags are influenced by three Italian designers back in the sixties. Gatti, Paolini and Teodora worked for Zanotta Design and created a trendy, hip, stylish and comfortable chair that was a 60s and 70s must have – the very first bean bag chairs. Their work can now be found in 25 museums around the world.
What are bean bags stuffed with? Some bean bags are filled with the traditional expanded polystyrene beans (EPS). These beans are a bit like memory foam mattresses, hug the shape of your body and leave an indentation of your body when you get up out of them. But they are individual beans all packed in together to give this effect. EPS is not biodegradable, but there are lots of ways that it can be recycled to ensure you being as environmentally friendly as possible. Or some people use them for arts and crafts.
Some of the newest bean bag chairs are actually made of compressed foam, which is known as memory foam. This is a form of polyurethane that is produced in a very particular way to make sure it is thick and dense to create the memory foam effect.
In years gone by, plastic wasn’t available and bean bags were literally stuffed with beans, dried grain, rice or corn. There are also expanded polypropylene (EPP) beans. These are more common in Asia than in the US or Europe. They are durable and return to their original shape really quickly after they have been compressed out of shape by people sitting on them.
What About Bean Bag Safety? Bean bags look amazing and are super comfy, but they also need to make sure they follow strict modern-day health and safety regulations. Some safety precautions include bags being made with double stitching to prevent them from bursting and zippers with removable handles, so children can’t open them up and get their hands on the tiny beans and risk choking on them.
How long do they last? It really depends how much they are used as to how long they last. If the kids are using them as trampolines and toys, then they might not last as long as those that are used for more adult leisurely use or decorative piece of furniture. They should last around three to four years before the beans are worn out.
What are the different sorts of bean bags available? There are bean bags shaped as seats or chairs that can be used to watch TV or sit at a table or desk, and they are also really popular with gamers. Other bean bags might be the traditional teardrop shape with a handle. Others are six to eight feet long for several people to sprawl on. Then there are lounger shaped bean bag chairs that are great for sitting back and reading a book or a magazine.
Or there is the sack. A huge sack of beans at can be sat on every which way, just sinking into the huge bag of beans. And then there is the large, flat and square version that you can lie on with a book or just chilling in the house or garden. A small bean bag would make a fantastic footstool. But, you can also get a bean bag ottoman. Children often love novelty bean bags. You can get them with their favorite cartoon characters on or shaped as a bird, or dinosaur or animal.
Then as well as the shape, there is the color or material to consider. Bean bag chairs can be found in every color, every combination of color and every pattern you can think of. You can choose from faux leather, faux fur, velvet or cotton – you name it and you can find a bean bag to suit your taste and décor.
What sizes are bean bag chairs? Children’s bean bags are usually 110 to 120 inches in circumference, which would be good for anyone under four and a half feet. Bean bags that are made especially for teenagers are usually 140 to 150 inches in circumference, which would be good for youngsters up to the five foot three inches. Adult bean bags would be around 180 inches in circumference and would easily accommodate someone up to six foot tall.
