Please READ: Bean bag chairs are a popular form of furniture made of fabric and filled with small chunks of styrofoam or PVC pellets. They were hugely popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their popularity resumed in the mid 1990s, as companies began selling chairs filled with shredded polyurethane foam, charging a premium for the extra comfort this can provide. It is also called expanded polystyrene or EPS in the industry. The diameter of the bead that goes into the bean bag does vary from about 3-9 mm, however you can now also purchase micro-bead which is 1 – 3 mm in diameter. After a couple of years use, the beans within a bean bag will become compressed and comfort will be reduced. One can generally obtain smaller bags of refill to top them up. While popularity has waned in the 1990s, as of the late 2000s, bean bag furniture has made a comeback as a lifestyle accessory. This is arguably a symptom of an all-encompassing embrace of retro style. Bean bag furniture generally takes the form of four basic designs being: (1) the teardrop; (2) the sack; the armchair; and (3) the cylinder. Variants of the four basic designs exist, as well as bean bags which are designed to resemble other objects or animals.
