Let me just start off by saying that this is WAY better than the traditional bean bag. It’s so HUGE!
It arrived neatly packaged and vacumed sealed. However, it was one of the most difficult cases to unizip and unpack until the zipper broke and I ripped it with my hands (Which is okay, for the bag is meant to be thrown away).
In the pictures provided you can see the original package, the broken zipper, and the inflated end-result.
Again, the 3’ bag alone is huge. Put it in reference to an American penny. Still finding a place for it.
Very fluffy and comfortable to sit on.
Love this "bean bag". It's filled with foam, so not a typical beanbag chair. It's definitely giant and fluffy though. I gave it 48 hours to fluff up after I opened it. My kids are constantly jumping and climbing all over it, and all I do is fluff it back up occasionally. Really well made! I'm sure this will last us a while! Pictured is my 6 yo. He and my 8 yo regularly share this seat, so it is pretty big.
Received this product less than an hour ago. Loved it so much that I'm writing a review so soon!
✓ This bean bag is filled with memory foam and NOT the conventional styrofoam beans. I find this really comfortable. Provides a good cushion and back support. But if you are looking for a traditional "Bean" bag, then this product isn't for you.
✓ The product arrived exactly within the specified time frame. The outer package was a little torn when I found it on my doorstep. This definitely worried me. But, the inner packing was really good and there wasn't any damage to the product.
✓ The outer zipper bag had to be torn in order to get the bean bag out (Yes. It is supposed to be torn and discarded!).
✓ The bean bag looked really wrinkled and compact when I first took it out of it's packaging. It is totally normal since this product is vacuum sealed in order to make it easier to get shipped.
✓ As soon as I took it out of the plastic cover, the bean bag started expanding. I turned it over and jumped on it in order to speed up the process.
✓ The bean bag is still expanding. It is lovely!
✓ I've attached pictures that were taken less than an hour of opening the package. You'll get an idea of how big the bean bag is and how much it will expand! And I'll definitely attach pictures after this product fully expands.
✓ I ordered the cinnabar colored product. The color is exactly like what was given in the pictures (a dark shade of pink).
✓ But the pictures given in the product description do no Justice to the size of this bean bag! I must say; it is huge; even though this is only 3' across. This bean bag fits perfectly in my reading space. It is neither too big; nor too small. Just the perfect size!
✓ But I must specify that I'm a petite woman of height 5'2" . This bean bag is really comfortable for me. I think I'll be able to take small naps in this bean bag!
My verdict: Amazing product. Worth the price!
Update: A week after receiving this product
^ The bean bag has fully expanded! (Actually, It had expanded well enough in just 48 hrs of opening the package)
^ It is cylindrical in shape; with an obvious top and bottom.
^ After full expansion the bean bag measures 3' in diameter and 1' in height.
^ The amount of foam is perfect. Provides ample back support.
^ After each use, I just fluff it thoroughly so that it is comfortable the next time I use it.
^ As I said previously, This bean bag is HUGE! Extremely comfortable for me! (25 yr old; 5'2" Petite woman).
^ This is more like a cute little sofa on which I can read and relax! Absolutely loving this product!
~ A great product for apartment dwellers. This bag is nether too big; nor too small. That means that this product is big enough to provide a good level of comfort and small enough to fit apartments/ houses with limited space.
worst product I've ever purchased in my life. product comes with one cubic square foot of extremely hard foam that you must painstakingly tear into tiny pieces for hours and hours in order to "expand" the pillow. breaking up the foam was extremely difficult and after several hours the pillow only inflated to be about one foot in height. I can't use it as a chair. My dog has started using it as a doggy bed because that is all its good for. It looks absolutely nothing like the photo. I literally just spent $70 on this just to end up giving it to my dog. go to a store and buy a real bean bag chair. they are too large and heavy to buy online and have shipped.
Purchased this bag and was originally satisfied. So I decided to purchase a second matching bag the following week (used the 1 click feature).
The second bag I received looks nothing like the original bag. The material is different, the size is different and even the stuffing inside is different.
I would have never purchased a second bag if I’d known it would be this inconsistent.
Based on reviews for this & the other sizes of same I purchased the 3ft memory foam "beanbag" chair. It's been 3 days of flipping, fluffing, etc., and while it is getting bigger, it does not support a normal sized (or even short) adult. I'm not even sure if a larger one would the correct way either.
I wanted a beanbag chair to sit in (the way the girl in the photo is---with some of it support your back somewhat upwards), but the nature of the material is to totally flatten when you sit on it...likely the whole reason chairs like this started using BEANS in the first place.
So yes, it will get giant and take up all of your space, but I can only see a child being able to use this properly when filled with this kind of foam, because adults just flatten down with a thud with such soft material.
At first it looked way too small, but if you fluff it up (or kick the crap out of it) the foam pieces inside will break up and expand to fill out the bag. It is comfy to sit in, supports the weight of an adult, doesn't make a lot of noise (it is foam, not Styrofoam), and doesn't get hot (fabric breaths nicely, it isn't like old plastic/vinyl ones from decades ago). I'm going to get another one or two for the living room.
Purchased 2, came in separate heavy (about 21lb) boxes. Not to hard to unzip the outer case theybate shipped in (see pic)...the plastic bag they were in did get stuck in the zipper. They were pretty easy to "break up" so they could start to "breathe" Day 1 only and we love them, great size. Easy to give them a little flip to fluff them up. There is a little smell/offgassing from the inner stuffing. It not much and will probably be gone tomorrow. The cover seems durable.
I returned this product as it looked far from what we could see in the photo. It comes in a vaccum bag which makes it look like a brick when out of the box. Instructions said it would look good in up to 5 days, but it never happened. It took us ages and a lot of effort to break/fluff all the foam (as per instructions) and it did not feel comfortable at all. Weird shape and feel. Returned it and went for a tradicional bean bag and much happier now
Didn’t come packaged how we expected. Came in a same sack. However once we opened we realised it had been suctioned to reduced the space for transit.
Just received it so I don’t know how good it will be. But right off the bat I am disappointed that the stuffing is not encased in an ‘inner bag’. There’s no way to wash the cover without emptying the foam into another bag which will be messy and a huge pain.
Some say there is enough stuffing but that is not the case. My 9 and 11 year old sink down flat without any back support. Bag fabric is great but needs another 5lb bag of fill.
My kids didn't like the chunky feel to the stuffing.
This bean chair did not become as full as in the photo. I tried to break apart the foam pieces inside the case but my 11 and 14 year old are not able to sit in it comfortably like the woman in the main picture. It tends to go flat and looses its shape we tried to fluff it up to create a shape or form, no luck. Returning was not an option because there was no way we could get it back into the box it was delivered in. :(
