It's common place in a home today to see a giant bean bag chair. These foam filled bean bags are a piece of furniture that has been around for many years but has seen a face lift in recent years. There are a variety of giant bean bag sizes and colors. The diversity of these been bags are what make them such a fantastic furniture choice.

These type of foam bean bags are commonly referred to as love sacs although a luv sac is a particular company that makes this type of bean bag. However, love sac started this foam filled bean bag revolution. Bean bags have continued to become more and more comfortable. The materials that are used are softer and more durable. The foam itself is of high quality and provides a very comfortable and relaxing seat.

Arranging the giant bean bag into various shapes is an advantage with a foam bean bag. These bean bags come in a variety of different shapes including oblong, round and square but regardless of the original shape of the bag, it can be set into the optimal position for sitting or relaxing. In the search for a bean bag, there are a few items to pay attention to:

1. Foam - The foam should be high quality, period. The best way to determine if your foam is good quality, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. And look for companies that are using new foam or new recycled foam to fill their bean bags.

2. Liner - It's important that there is a liner between your foam and your cover. Why? If you ever want to wash your cover you will need a liner otherwise you will have a foam crisis on your hands. Plus the Liner adds to the comfort of the large bean bag chair.

3. Cover - The cover along with the foam make up the bulk of cost for a giant bean bag and thus another area that manufactures could use lower quality items. And if you think about it, the cover is the bean bag. The cover is the part of the bean bag you see and sit on. The materials used for a cover in a foam filled bean bag include the industry standard and most popular cover, microsuede. A newer material being used in the industry is called velvish. The benefit of the velvish cover is it is a very long lasting material but even softer and more supple than Microsuede.

Do yourself a favor and take these points into consideration when purchasing your first or next foam bean bag. Following these simple rules will save you a lot of time and headache in dealing with problems that can result from having poor quality foam, no liner and a cheap cover.
