Bean bags were traditionally a kid’s bedroom accessory but that's a thing of the past, now they are functional yet
stylish and a must have for any room in your home and fabulous soft
furniture for your garden.
Our bean chairs and bags are available in cotton drill, corduroy, pvc / vinyl, faux leather, faux suede, animal skins.
Some are waterproof and suitable for outdoor use and others are wipe
clean and great for the lounge rooms, family rooms, conservatories and bedrooms.
Our bean cushions, cubes, wedgies, sofas and scatters are great for schools and libraries as
soft seating areas, reading corners, group work, they are perfect to share a book and work together.
They are so versatile, light and easily moved around or stacked for storage.
Filled with polystyrene beans
you won’t have to worry about the inside going mouldy and if for any
reason the beans got wet, then simply let them dry out before further
use. They don’t even attract bugs!
So what should you be thinking about?
Consideration 1 - Where is your bean bag going to be used?
Size is important, our larger bean sofas and cushions are HUGE and
measuring the space you have is important before ordering. The large
floor cushions are great for lounging on and straddling whilst watching TV or
as a chair propped against a wall.... you still have to store it, so be
sure you consider all the options. The kids chairs may be great for a 3 year old but is really too small for a 7 year old but your 7 year olds will adore the large Saddle Chairs and pouffes.
Consideration 2 - Which material will suit me best?
If you want to use the bean bag for indoor use, then Cotton or
Corduroy may be your first choice, but if you want to extend the use
into the garden then why not consider Faux Leather or the In Out
options all available in wonderful colours. The garden bean cushions are a dream to sun bathe on adn support every inch of your body, the bean
chairs are fabulous to sit on and chat with a glass of wine.
Consideration 3 - Who am I buying for?
The choice of colours is amazing and you can surely find a colour to
suit any room’s decor. If you are buying for a small child, teenager,
‘big kid’ or your suave self, then you may want to consider longevity
of the bean bag... Our faux leather bean bags will never go out of
fashion and the corduroy is right up to the minute.
Consideration 4 - Do all bean bags meet UK safety standards?
All bean bags from Magic Bean Bags meet the UK safety standards and are
fire retardant. You should be aware of cheap imports made with inferior
materials and fillings. All of our bags, chairs and cushions etc are
manufactured in the UK with exception to the branded LOFTBAG which are
made to order in France and shipped directly to you.
So if you want a cow hide bean bag, gold faux leather bean cushion, indigo scatter cushions, an aqua gaming chair etc etc... we have a solution for you!
More questions?
If you have any further questions regarding our bean bags or would like
advice on which is the best buy for you then please call our sales team

Making a bean bag game is great fun with your kids.
You can leave the classic bean bags and bean chairs to us, whilst you get the sewing needles and sewing machines out with the kids. The small fun homemade Bean Bags offer a great range of games and you can guarentee the kids will make up their own games
Felt is great material for making bean bags as it doesn’t fray so you don’t have to worry about edges. Fleece material is just as good!
Instructions
1.Decide what sized beanbags you would like to make, we are basing ours on 12cm squares
2.Cut a template of 12cm squares
3.Take one piece of felt and pin your template to it, cut carefully and neatly around your template (Remember, the edges of the beanbag will be shown so neat edges will give a better finished design)
4.Draw, with your marker, a simple shape on the reverse of your cut out towards the centre leave approximately a minimum of a 2cm margin (this will be inside your bean bag so dont worry about redrawing your cutout shapes)
5.Cut out your design (remember if using letters to draw them backwards as you are drawing on the inside)
6.Get your funky fabric and cut it large enough to cover your cut out but smaller than your felt square
7.Pin the fabric to the felt and sew closely to the edge of the cut out (pins help to stretch the fabric across the space and avoids gaping)
8.Place and pin your second felt square to the back and sew around three sides approximately 1cm from the edge
9.Half fill your bean bags with dry beans, (polystyrene beans, split peas, popcorn, lentils, rice etc would also do)
10.Ensure all of your beans are away from the open end and sew to seal the beans inside. (maybe add a pin to hold the beans back)
