Giant Fluffy Bean Bags
Buy the best giant fluffy bean bags selected and recommended by interior designers. By Caroline Patterson.
Chairs may get all of the glory, but there’s nothing better than a giant fluffy bean bag to lounge the day away on. If you are worried about your bean bag looking childish, colors like beige, gray, or white which are associated with sophistication are the best options. A large bean bag will look nicest when placed next to a sofa due to its size – that way, it won’t become the main focal point in the room unless you want it to be.

There are several ways to clean furry bean bags. If you only need to get out a minor stain, use some dishwashing liquid and a damp cloth to blot the mark, then rinse the fabric with some cold water and let the bean bag dry. Avoid rubbing the fabric as this can cause the furry texture to become matted, fade the color, and set the stain in further.
When you want to do a deep clean on your furry bean bag, use your vacuum’s rubber-bristle brush attachment to remove debris and dry dirt out of the fur. Then, you’ll need to wash the fur case by hand. Put the fabric in a sink and clean it with warm water and mild detergent, then leave it to soak in the soapy solution for 30 minutes to an hour. Rinse it under cold tap water, then use your hands to wring out the fabric gently.
Then, add some diluted fabric softener or conditioner to the faux fur, then rinse the fabric through again. Pat the fur down with a towel or kitchen paper, then leave it to dry flat in the shade. You may need to brush once dry to restore the texture.
Furry bean bags are a quirky, fun item to have in your home. They come in many colors and sizes and offer a wacky visual and comfortable seating. To fill your bean bag for the first time or replace your chair’s beans once they become compressed and flat, use good quality EPS or expanded polystyrene beans to fluff your bean bag up. The amount you need varies depending on the size and shape of your chair.
EPS beans are sold in cubic foot bags, measuring 3, 6, and 9 cubic feet. A 9 cubic foot bag generally fills 1 adult-sized bean bag. A smaller 3 or 6 cubic foot bag fills smaller, child-sized bags, whereas an oversized furry bean bag requires several large bags of filler. Consider how compact you want your furry bean bag to be. Use more foam beans for stiff seating or less to sink deeper into your bean bag.
Furry bean bags can be made of different materials… as long as the finished product looks super fluffy and comfy, of course! The most popular option is faux fur, which usually involves a blend of polyester and acrylic fiber.
Alternatively, microsuede upholstery is another practical material for furry bean bags.
