A bean bag is a soft, flexible seating item filled with small polystyrene beads, foam, or other cushioning materials. Unlike traditional chairs, bean bags conform to the shape of the person sitting in them, offering casual comfort and versatility. In simple terms, a bean bag is a relaxed, informal seating solution that works in bedrooms, lounges, home cinemas, outdoor spaces, and even offices for a laid-back vibe.
Here’s why Australians love bean bags: they are lightweight, movable, and perfect for creating cosy, adaptable spaces, while being fun for children, teens, and adults alike.
Bean bags have evolved beyond basic round cushions to offer multiple styles, materials, and sizes to suit every interior.

Selecting the right bean bag comes down to size, material, and intended use:
Standard, single-person bean bags for kids or teens
Oversized or double bean bags for adults or shared lounging
Indoor fabrics: velvet, cotton, microfiber
Outdoor fabrics: waterproof, UV-resistant, easy-clean options
