Bean bags have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their versatility, comfort, and style. Bean bags can act as a chair, a bed, an extension of your sofa, and are now being made in many different sizes, styles, and with additional cool features. On top of their functionality, a bean bag is a fun way to furnish that can bring a “hip” or “modern” twist to any room. Whether you play it up or tone it down, a bean bag is a great addition that you, your guests, and maybe even your pet will fall in love with.
Bean bags might have traditionally been thought of as something that belongs in the movie room or a teenagers’ bedroom, but times are changing. You don’t have to be a teenager to experience the joys and comfort of relaxing in this fun, lounge-style chair. Companies have caught on and realized that there could be so much more done with the bean bag design; there is now an extensive offering of bean bags that will suit every room and please every person.
Here’s a list of the eight best bean bag chairs to help you find your favorite new addition to your space that you didn’t know you needed.
CordaRoy’s “Convertible” Queen Chair/Bed
CordaRoy’s Queen Chair is not too small and not too large. It’s the perfect Queen size. This chair’s 4-foot diameter makes it the most versatile measurement, perfect for kids, teenagers, and adults. What’s great about CordaRoy bean bags is that they are much more than just that. CordaRoy’s bean bag chairs are actually convertible furniture; they mainly act as a chair but can also fold out to create a bed – perfect for guests or spontaneous sleepovers for the kids. By simply unzipping the bean bag’s outer cover, the inside stuffing is revealed and expands out into its mattress shape that measures 60” by 80”—a standard queen size bed.
Check out CordaRoy’s demonstration that they presented on the hit TV show, Shark Tank, to see how versatile this bean bag really is and how perfectly it works in a household setting.
CordaRoy products are made with 100% polyfoam that won’t compress over time; this means you can lounge on it day after day, and it won’t sag, lose its shape, or flatten out. This Queen chair comes in lots of colors – that makes it easy to find the perfect match for every room. The Queen chair covers are also offered in several different fabrics, such as faux leather, faux fur, plush fur, and more. These covers are all safe for machine wash and dry, so it’s not a problem if you happen to spill your snacks or the dog decides to leave a little too much fur behind. CordaRoy products also offer waterproof protection—great if you’re planning on using your chair in the sunroom or your son’s room!. CordaRoy’s convertible chairs have an average lifespan of 15 years and come with a lifetime guarantee—they’re more than happy to repair or replace any part of the bean bag that malfunctions for the life of the product.
CordaRoy’s bean bag chairs were born from an idea that sparked out of true necessity. Founder Byron Young realized he needed a bed for unexpected guests one night after a football game. He decided to makeshift his bean bag into a mattress—this was the beginning but definitely not the end of CordaRoy. They’ve had incredible success expanding into now making their famous bean bag chair in four sizes as well as offering pillow pods, nest chairs, and pet beds.

Why Choose a Bean Bag Chair?
Whether you’re redecorating or looking for additional seating, a bean bag chair is definitely worth considering. Although bean bag chairs have been around since the 1970s, they’ve only recently experienced their popularity boom. Bean bags are a fun twist on a traditional chair and can bring extra comfort, style, and practicality to any room. What makes bean bag chairs so great is their mobility, comfort, and multi-purpose functionality.
Mobility
Bean bag chairs are squishy and easy to fit through halls and doorways. This makes them easier not only to get into your house but also to move around within it. When shopping for a bean bag chair, there’s no worry of trying to calculate and measure if it will be able to fit through the doorway; their form-shifting design allows them to be squeezed, stretched, and shaped, allowing them to get into any space. Once they’re in your home, they’ll also be easier to move between spaces. If you usually enjoy your bean bag in your bedroom but want to bring it to the living room for family movie night, there’s no hassle of having to lift and carry a heavy, clunky piece of furniture.
Comfort
Bean bag chairs are more comfortable than regular chairs or couches. Most bean bags are figure-hugging and made with memory foam. This allows you to find your most comfortable position, and the chair will take shape with your posture. Bean bag chairs are also made in a wide variety of materials such as suede, corduroy, and velvet – your favorite material probably comes in bean bag shape too.
Multi-functionality
Bean bags aren’t necessarily always chair-shaped. Just like some of the bean bags listed, designs vary. There are classic bean bag shapes, chair-like shapes, and pod-like shapes. Some bean bags, like CordaRoy’s, even have the ability to unzip and turn into a full standard-sized bed. Bean bags can be sat in, laid on, used as a footrest, and more.
Have Fun With It
A bean bag chair is a great addition to any room that can add functionality, style, and comfort.
Choose a bean bag chair that will serve you best by offering you the most versatility. CordaRoy’s bean bags are all convertible furniture that can turn into a bed, bringing you an addition you didn’t even know you needed.
Find the best bean bag for you and watch the eyes light up as people walk in and see it.
