Bean Bag Chairs Are Better Than Ever For Style And Comfort!

Legend has it that the original bean bag chair, a mainstay of college
campuses throughout the 1970s, was discovered by accident. The story goes
that a manufacturer of polystyrene put all its leftover pieces into a
bag, and apparently somebody sat on it and found it comfortable.

The legend remains unconfirmed to this day. What's known for certain is
that three designers working for an Italian firm, the Zanotta Company,
created the first commercially successful Bean Bag Chairs in 1969. These
pear-shaped leather bags filled with polystyrene beans were called
Soccos. They became the model for all bean bags that followed.

After falling out of favor for a couple of decades, Bean Bag Chairs are
making a major comeback, thanks to the latest innovations in construction
and design. People everywhere are learning anew just how comfortable
these big bean bags are for today's casual living.

Bean bag chairs are made of "beans" of polystyrene. This plastic foam is
known more commonly under the trade name Styrofoam?. Although some beans
are made specifically to be used in this type of furniture, most bean
bags today are made with recycled polystyrene. The recycled material is
made by grinding up hard molded polystyrene used to pack computers,
televisions, and other small electronics and reform it into "beans."
Since otherwise the hard molded foam would end up in a landfill, bean
bags are as eco-friendly as they are comfortable.

For example, consider the Jaxx Pillow Sac, a 72-by-54-inch bean bag that
can be molded into any kind of seat. Everyone in the family, from
children through teens, adults and even pets love the versatility of this
piece of furniture. Video game players can straddle it, flatten it or
flip it up for a comfy position. The Pillow Sac even makes a cozy
loveseat for two lovebirds to snuggle together and watch their favorite
movies. What's more, the Jaxx Pillow Sac will flatten out to make a
mattress, making it perfect for kids, sleepovers and unexpected guests.

Jaxx Pillow Sac Bean Bag Chairs are made with 100 percent
recycled/shredded furniture grade foam. Its outer cover, available in
microfiber, microsuede, pebble and brushed twill fabrics, zips off for
machine washing. The fabrics come in a wide array of colors to match any
home decor. Each Pillow Sac is custom made to order and comes with a one-
year guarantee on workmanship and quality, assuming the bean bags get
normal use.

Another option is Comfort Research's FUF Chair in Large (4 ft), Medium
(3.5 ft), Small (3 ft) and Extra Small (2.5 ft) sizes. A FUF (pronounced
"foof") chair has a unique quality ? it can be twisted and rolled, or
"foofed," back into shape after each use. Comfort Research has developed
patented urethane foam that gives terrific support and comfort while it
resists breaking down as some polystyrene beans do. The result is that
users get the same brand-new "sinking in" feeling sitting in a FUF as in
other new bean bags. These Bean Bag Chairs also come with an optional
inner liner for easier cleaning. The double-stitched cover, with double
zippers for safety, comes in cotton twill, suede, vinyl and faux denim in
a rainbow of colors.

Comfortable, sturdy, earth-friendly and beautiful ? what more could
anyone want from a piece of furniture?
