Our kids used to fight over my old college bean bag chair. We had to buy each of them one of their own. That was ten years ago and they still use them now. I think their beanbags are the only gifts we've given them that they still have.
These chairs are nothing like the ones from twenty or thirty years ago. Heavy, uncomfortable, boring and ugly. The new style bean bags are lightweight, come in dozens of sizes, styles, shapes, colors, and fabrics. They work well with any home, apartment or room decor.
Easily cleaned by just wiping them with a soapy sponge, and some covers are even machine washable.
In a few years you can easily refill them, either completely or with a small amount of material just to fluff them up.
The majority of today's bean bag chairs use an expanded polystyrene foam filling, a type of styrofoam. This material can be found on most bean bag chair websites.
You can get bean bags filled with polyurethane foam as well. This is a type of foam rubber, something like the cushions on your couch. A little harder to find than the polystyrene, but it is available.
It's all a matter of personal taste. The polystyrene filling tends to have a firmer feel with extra support, whereas the polyurethane fill is a little heavier and will give you a softer more "sinking-in" type feeling.
Either product is light years ahead of the dinosaurs from the old days. The new bean bags boast beautiful style, a high comfort factor and extreme durability.
You can't beat a bean bag chair as a gift. It's practical and a great value. The gift your loved ones will use and cherish every day for many years to come.

I sit here and watch the little ones drag these things around the house all the time. To the living room to watch TV, to the kitchen to watch their mom, to their bedroom, to the game room, it's like taking their favorite blanket or toy with them wherever they go.
They're big, lightweight, around 8 or 9 pounds, comfortable, durable and most of all they're Kid-Safe!
This new design is pear shaped for back support, comes with premium fabric covers to hold the filling in and keep the children out. They come in a wide range of colors and fabrics, ex: vinyl, suede, denim, theme prints, custom, leather, you name it! They even come in a weather resistant outdoor fabric.
Double stitched with clear nylon for strength, and locking zippers for added child safety. They meet all U.S. flammability standards and CPSC guidelines for zipper enclosures.
These new beanbags come with three main types of filling;
1) Polyurethane Foam: it's a kind of foam rubber you would find in the cushions on your couch.
2) Virgin Polystyrene Foam Beads: this is a new styrofoam material formed into little pea shaped balls.
3) Recycled Polystyrene Foam: this is usually a shredded styrofoam product made from the by-product of the packaging and foam board industry. Never used material, ex; cups, plates, etc...
Which ever filling you choose you'll get a quality durable product. Personally I prefer the virgin polystyrene foam. It's lighter and in a couple of years you can fluff it up with the recycled material. It's readily available on most bean bag chair websites.
With all children there are always accidents. These new covers are either machine washable or easily cleaned with a soapy sponge.
If ever there was a product I would recommend to parents, it would be this one. No problems, no worries.
Like I always say. "A happy child is a happy parent"
