Cordaroys Bean Bag Beds

August 22nd, 2008

Cordaroys offers some of the most unique and amazing bean bag beds available. These beanbags actually convert into shredded foam cushions about the thickness of a sleeping bag. As a backup bead, Cordaroys bean bag beds really offer an interesting unique experience.

How Do These Bean Bags Make Beds?

The bean bag beds from Cordaroys simply unzip to reveal a full, queen or king size mattress. The outer shell acts like a pouch that is then tossed aside. The inner section can then be fluffed and thrown on the floor to act as a back up bed or comfy place to gather family and friends for a long movie.

Bean bag beds from Cordoroys are probably the most innovative and fun bean bag on the market. They offer dual purpose utility, make fun conversational pieces, and they are also very comfy. Keep in mind that these bean bags are usually most comfortable as chairs for adults when purchased in the king size. This is because the king size readily surrounds an average sized adult around the torso and head. Queen might be the second choice for adults.

Children will do well with the full size in general, while older kids might still prefer the queen size. Teens, like adults will find most seating comfort from Cordaroys bean bag beds when purchased in king size.

The History of the Bean Bag

January 20th, 2008

Bean bags are a popular choice for family rooms and have quickly become a must-have furniture piece for kids and teens.  Bean bags were first created by an Italian company in the late 1960s, and have since become a popular alternative to chairs, ottomans, and floor cushions.  If you’re looking for a versatile and attractive addition to your living space, you might consider adding bean bag chair, sleeper, or lounger for a unique look.

The First Bean Bag Chair

The first bean bag chair was manufactured in 1969 by Zanotta, an Italian company that specialized in seating and other furnishings.  The Sacco was the first bean bag chair that was shaped as an oversized chair with a headrest, and gained global appeal in a few short years.  It was comfortable and versatile since it could be moved around easily and was a stylish alternative to traditional floor cushions and chairs.

The original Sacco was filled with polystyrene pellets and covered in a rich leather and fabric material.  The headrest is the distinguishing feature of the original Sacco design and many imitation bean bag chairs and variations of the original are made without a headrest. 

Types of Bean Bag Chairs

Today, there are many different types of bean bag chairs available; you can choose from a variety of sizes, colors, and fabric textures, and some are stuffed with unique fillings.   Bean bag chairs now come in oversized versions that can serve as two-seater chairs and loungers.  Many are stuffed with foam filling instead of the classic polystyrene pellets, offering more comfort and support than the traditional design.

Different sizes of bean bags can accommodate for kids and adults alike.  You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy sitting, reading, or even sleeping on a bean bag!  Today’s styles and designs are comfortable versions of oversized chairs, wedge loungers, and even chaise-style sleepers.  This Slumber Bean Bag Sleeper is a queen size bean bag that can help you take a well-deserved nap, or just give you a comfortable place to read or study. A simple solid bean bag can turn an empty corner of a family room or living area into another seating space, and is a popular choice for kids of all ages.

 

Bean Bag Covers and Styles

Both printed and solid covers are available, and many bean bags can be customized with throw pillows and cushions for even more comfort.The original Sacco bean bag was available in a rich leather and fabric material, but today’s most popular styles include:

Bean bags are a great alternative to traditional furniture, and have become a pop culture icon since their introduction in the early ‘70s.  Today, you can enjoy a variety of bean bag styles, sizes, and shapes to finish off your living space with a unique touch!

            Comfy bean bag chairs are fun for kids of all ages, and are a great choice for the family room, play area, or even a kids bedroom.  Bean bags have evolved from the simple chair with a headrest, to complete sleeper sofas, oversized chairs, ottomans, and comfortable loungers that can be used for a variety of purposes.  If you’re looking for a unique way to decorate a kids room, you might consider a bean bag chair, chaise, lounger, or sleeper sofa; it’s sure to become their favorite place to play!

            Benefits of Bean Bags for the Kids’ Room

            Since bean bags are made with soft fabrics and cushioned materials, you can worry less about young kids hurting themselves on furniture, and give them lots of options to rest, play, and relax.  Other benefits of bean bags for the kids room include:

            • Easy to move.  You don’t have to struggle with furniture and toys, making the bean bag chair a very versatile piece of furniture.

            • Super comfortable.  Kids love to cozy up with pillows and throws when watching movies, reading, or just taking a nap.  Bean bags offer an alternative to standard floor cushions with foam padding and various fillings that can provide even more comfort for their daily activities.
            • Unique designs and sizes.  When you’re looking for a piece of furniture that can serve as the focal point of your kids room, consider adding a bean bag chair designed with their favorite sports in mind, or just something in their favorite color.  The football bean bag  is great for a boys playroom,  while a girls bedroom might be decorated with the Princess bean bag or Smiley bean bag .

            Other Bean Bag Options for the Kids Room

            Another great option for the kids room is the Pancake Lounger.  These are made with the same materials as the classic bean bag, but are simply a large, flat, cushioned piece that children can nap on, or just relax with.  These are ideal for family rooms and kids bedrooms, offering another comfortable surface to play, read, or sleep on.

            Chair and ottoman sets add a fun twist to the kids room, offering them a unique set of furniture that is made with bean bag materials and fillings.  Chair and ottoman sets are available in a variety of colors to match the kids room décor and can offer more comfort than traditional furniture.
