Adult Bean Bag Chair in Navy Corduroy, 35 in Wide with Shredded Sponge Filling and High Back

The classic bean bag is full of polystyrene beads. They shift out from under you, compress over a few months, and an adult ends up sitting lower every week until the thing needs refilling.

This one is filled with shredded sponge, which the maker describes as recovering quickly. The back stands 28 inches tall so there is something behind your shoulders, and the shape holds rather than flowing away from where you sit.

How an adult actually sits in it

The studio shot with someone in it, which is the useful version. The back reaches past the shoulder blades, the base spreads wide enough to take crossed legs, and the sitter's weight settles into the middle rather than pushing the filling out to the sides.

The footprint on the floor

Thirty-five inches wide and 32 deep at the base, 28 inches to the top of the back, with the seat sitting around 14 inches up. That base is what a bean bag actually occupies in a room, and it is wider than most people expect from the photographs.

The ribs, magnified

A macro of the cover. Broad wales with a soft nap between them, labelled by the maker as skin friendly, comfortable, wear resistant and easy to clean. Wide ribs hold light differently across the surface, which is why the navy looks two shades in the same photo.

The maker calls it premium shredded sponge with quick recovery, rather than the polystyrene beads used in cheaper bags.

Tall enough to reach an adult's shoulders instead of stopping at the lower back.

Thirty-five inches wide by 32 deep, which leaves room to sit cross legged rather than perched.

Wide wale ribs described as wear resistant and easy to clean.

No tools and no parts. Unpack it and leave it to take its shape.

The filling is compressed for shipping. The maker suggests patting it or using a hair dryer to speed the rebound.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

A 28 inch back means your shoulders are supported, which is the difference between twenty minutes and two hours with a book.

It arrives compressed in a carton with nothing rigid inside, so stairs, landings and lifts stop being a problem.

A bean bag can be pushed into a corner or leaned against a wall when the floor is needed, which a framed chair cannot.

What we stand behind

• The 35 by 32 by 28 inch measurements and the 14 inch seat come from the manufacturer's own Product Size panel.
• The filling is described by the maker as shredded sponge. No density or weight of filling is published, so neither is quoted.
• No weight capacity, cover fibre content or net weight is published for this chair, so none is stated.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Will it hold an adult's weight?

No weight capacity is published for this chair, so no figure is quoted here. It is sold as an adult bean bag and the maker's own photographs show adults sitting in it, but there is no rating to point to and none is invented.

How long before it reaches full size?

About 72 hours after unpacking. The filling is compressed for shipping. Patting it down or running a hair dryer over it speeds the rebound, which is the maker's own suggestion.

Can the cover be removed and washed?

The record does not say the cover is removable on this model, so that is not claimed here. It describes the corduroy as easy to clean, which points to spot cleaning rather than a machine wash.

How do I keep the corduroy from matting?

Vacuum along the ribs rather than across them with an upholstery head, and brush the pile back in the same direction afterwards. Most flattening on corduroy is crushed pile rather than lost fibre, and it lifts again with a soft brush.
