Comfortable? O YA !

The other day we got a call from a grandmother who was looking to purchase a bean bag for her 2 year old granddaughter Alicia. The child was going in for a 7 hours procedure for hip dysplasia. The grand-mom was so happy that our informative staff had just the item for her – perfect leatherette Cosy Medium beanbag in a nice pink color. It is easy to clean and ergonomic in style to support the child’s body.

A week later the grand-mother informed us that Alicia is recovering very well in her “spica” cast and that she loves her beanbag. She reads and relaxes in front of the TV when she is otherwise not lying in bed – it’s a great piece of functional furniture with tremendous healing benefits.
The spica cast is a special type of cast used to immobilize the hip joints and/or the thigh. This type of cast is often used to heal damaged hip joint or fractured femur (thigh bone). A bean bag helps to support the body, of whoever is lounging in the bean bag with such a cast.

We once had a teenager in a full body cast who healed on a Nirvana beanbag as that was the most moldable piece of furniture with maximum comfort to relax and even sleep in.

The beanbags we design today are firm and comfortable – anyone who takes a seat in one, will be amazed at how comfortable it is. The Bean Bag Factory aims for extreme comfort to all as every chair is designed to suit individual body heights.

Anyone care for a warm cuddly hug?

Anyone who sits in a bean bag feels the comfort of a warm cuddly hug! What an amazing way to relax at the end of hard day’s work.
There are many benefits of bean bags – firstly they remove all stress from the body as they contour to individual’s body shape and support the neck, back and arms and rejuvenate the muscles in their resting state.
For people with special needs the beanbag chair is a necessity and not a luxury. This is based on “Sensory Pressure Principle’ which is a type of therapy involving the application of a tactile stimulus to provide the feeling of a firm hug, holding, swaddling, or massage – this in turn stimulates these sensory pressures, which support autistic children and helps them to focus better in classrooms. The beanbag chair also helps to calm them when the children are having “meltdowns”.
This revelation from research has helped children over the world and schools across Canada use our high quality and ergonomic beanbags to bring much needed to relief to kids/adults with special needs. For these “special people” beanbags are more than just a piece of furniture; they are a way of life.

A few words from a happy customer

Investing in a bean is the way to go! When I first heard of The Bean Bag Factory, I was extremely excited. Now when I’m at home, I’m constantly chilling in my bean bag. With my King Bean Bag I can take a nap, read my favorite book, and work on my laptop with no pain! The Bean Bag has support for my neck, arms and legs. I use my King Bean Bag in three ways: as a chair, as a bed and as a love seat. As a result, when my friends come over we have an extra seat. When my family and I sit down in front of the TV, we all go for the bean bag first. The bean bag is not just a seat, it is a way of relaxing. After a volleyball tournament I am so excited to come home and relax in my bean bag. My bean bag is the most desired spot in my household. I love my bean bag!!! 

Beanbags at the Winter Olympics – whatta cool idea!

Beanbags are funky and fun – but they are also the best seats in the house. For that matter the best seats anywhere – look how comfortable the atheletes at the Winter Olympics 2010 were sitting and relaxing on them at the end of the ski slopes whilst they wait for the results.
Beanbags are known to have therapeutic effects on the body and its amazing how de-stressing it is to sit into a beanbag chair. After the “rush” of adrenaline those athletes love the comfort of snuggling into a beanbag chair which helps their muscles to relax and brings their pulse rate to normal.

They should have this at all the game events and what opportunity for branding for our sponsors. If the beanbags are custom designed with corporate logos, then everytime the camera zooms onto the athlete the sponsor get additional media coverage to millions across the world.
Whatta  cool idea – simply love it!

What is a Bean Bag?

Bean Bag is a sealed enclosure which is filled with dried beans of PVC pellets , EPS which is known as expandable polystyrene.  The bag which is quite comfortable was very popular in the 1960’s and 1970’s . The resurgence in the popularity began in the 1990’s since it was quite comfortable to use bean bags. These EPS which come in sugar form is blown with steam to expand it and this is what provides the cushioning effect. Various types of bean bags are used to play games which are quite popular in various parts of the world. Bean bag is quite popular nowadays not for its gaming prowess but more as a furniture. The bean bags are gaining in popularity as a pieces of furniture equipment as they are comfortable and less in terms of cost. the size of the pellets within the bean ball vary in shape .The range of the pellets vary from 3-9 mm and sometimes from 1-3 mm.  One problem regarding the use of the bean balls is that the pellets which are used to fill up the bean bags compress in size . The pellets can be replenished by adding more pellets which are available for refill. It is very hard to define the shape of a bean bag because the bag acquires the shape as one sits or sleeps in it. This means the bean bag is flexible.

Why Beanbag chairs are better than regular furniture?

Bean bag chairs still remain one of the worlds many mysteries. How did they come about, who or what inspired the shape, are they safe, and where can I get one? To answer these questions and more we need to look into the 1960’s when this design was first uncovered. Created by an Italian design and first called a “Sacco”, the bean bag chairs became greatly popular and then mass-produced. Today this design is still remains basically the same with exception to the fabric, filling, the original headrest and additional safety features.

Bean bag chairs are the only furniture other than plastic patio chairs that can be easily relocated. This makes them ideal for flats, the poolside and any other outdoor area. (Check the waterproof qualities on the tag.) Also ideal for use on new carpet or floor lining as these clever designs won’t leave a dent in your floor. Bean bag chairs can be found in every color of the rainbow with so many designs and colors to choose from including pet beanbag beds, leather, denim, fur and suede fabrics. There is a design and color to suit any home with the exception being a too classic home may not necessarily suit a bean bag, try the den or playroom instead. There are also bean bags fabrics that are waterproof and can repel liquids that may them ideal for pets or little children. One of the fun things about having a bean bag chairs is deciding where to put it.

These wonderful creations are also great at saving you money. Why spend thousands on a new lounge suite when you can buy modern, furniture set in the few hundreds. Bean bag chairs can be found filled already or with just the case so they will need to be filled. If this is the case then you will need a helper. They can hold the bag open while you pull the polystyrene balls in. Stand away from a door as even the slightest of breeze can cause a small snowstorm in your lounge. Make sure to stuff the bag incredibly full if you suffer from a bad back or sore neck. To check that the bag is filled enough, check that there are still 6 inches between the widest point of the bean bags. If you prefer a loose comfortable fit only fill the bag ? of the way for a fuller fit try filling it as close to the top as you can while making sure it can still close.

Decorate a room with bean bags, they are affordable, bright, welcoming, cosy and fashionable. All your friends will be over to enjoy trying out your new bean bags. To get the perfect shape from your new bean bag chairs there are a few ways to go about this. Sit in the middle of the bag, not too high or too low. The bag will provide a supported yet comfortable seat. Make a bean bags the main feature of the room if you are going for a modern look. Brighten up any dull room with a colored beanbag.

New age seating in the hospitality industry.

Being in the surroundings of the patio cushions, patio umbrellas and patio furniture market we have heard just about every concern that customers have when purchasing new items for their outdoor rooms. Some of the most frequently asked questions are fitting, comfort, and appearance. Often customers want us to tell them what size, color and style of patio cushions to purchase, but we can only make suggestions. It becomes a quest to find the perfect patio cushion that will suit your needs and desires.

The most important aspect in buying new outdoor furniture cushions is sizing. Most customers have had previous patio cushions and are now in the process of purchasing replacement cushions. Often, it is easiest to take the cushion off of the patio furniture and set it flat on the ground. By doing this, customers are able to get the total measurements of the patio cushion. Besides the length, width and thickness of the patio cushion, it is very important to know the break measurement or where the seat meets the back part of the cushion. If the cushion has a back and seat and is either hinged or two separate pieces, customers will need to know how new cushions are going to fit on their patio chairs. Often mistakes are made with not getting the break measurements and customers end up with cushions that are either too tall or too short once they are placed on there furniture. Getting the break measurement is easy as measuring the back height and seat depth.

Once you have collected all of your measurements, the fun part can begin. It is wise to compare your measurements to what is offered on the web site. The measurements do not have to be exact, but we suggest that you stay within an inch to a half inch margin. The reason for this is that when cushions are being produced, it is often difficult to get the measurements right down the exact 16th or fractions of inches. Most patio cushions are soft and will eventually take shape of the furniture that they are used in.

If you cannot locate a patio cushion online that fits your measurements, we suggest that you go with a custom option. Many times, the word “custom” scares customers away because of the fear of high pricing. But once customers check into all the options the custom patio cushions can offer, it ends up being the best choice. Custom cushion production teams are specialized in replicating cushions from rare patio furniture sets. Cutting specific angles are curves are difficult to do with outdoor fabrics, but when templates are provided by the customer, it makes it much easier for both parties.

Comfort is a critical issue to choosing replacement patio cushions. A key factor for customers to keep in mind is the style of outdoor furniture that they have. It is not wise to put a one inch thick cushion or a patio dining set that may have metal or wooden slats for seating. The thicker the cushion is, the less of a chance there is to actually feel the slats or bracing when sitting down on the furniture. Before choosing a very thick cushion, it is suggested that customers still pay attention to their overall measurements. The thicker the outdoor cushion is, the higher it may sit on the furniture and raise the back upwards. Layered poly fiber and blown poly fiber are a good choose as opposed to foam. Because foam has a tendency to wear down quickly and retain water, it is not recommended for use with patio cushions. Choose replacement cushions that are going to be comfortable as well as fit properly on the patio furniture.

Last and final decision to make is focused on outdoor fabrics. We only offer outdoor fabrics to our customers with their patio cushions. The outdoor fabric is exclusively designed for outdoor use and will be resistant to mildew, soil, liquid, stains and mother nature right out of the box. Choosing the best color and pattern is totally up the customer and is said to be the most enjoyable parts of selecting outdoor patio cushions. Because some computer monitors and settings cannot display colors accurately, we often suggest that customers request free fabric samples. By doing this, customers are able to touch and feel the fabric in person as well as view the colors on their patio furniture or surroundings in the outdoor rooms. Outdoor fashions can usually indicate what’s in style for the season, but again it is totally up to the customer to decide on which outdoor fabric they would like their patio cushions made in.

We hope this article helps you as a patio cushion customer find the best items for you and your patio furniture.
