Today bean bags are much more comfortable and durable than those of the 70's.
The products are typically made with a fabric outer cover, which can be unzipped for washing.
The inner cover still contains the beans, so there is no worry about spilling.
Products are filled with small, round pieces of Styrofoam pellets, which are all the same size.
This means they will move around each other better for a more desirable shape when you sit.
The newer products offer a much greater selection in color, style and size.
A bean bag sofa is great for watching TV, gaming or doing just about anything you would normally do in the living room or family room.
They can range in size from 5 feet to 8 feet.
This makes them more comfortable for lounging and great for a teen's room, for sleepovers.
Because there are more color options, you can find one to go with any decor, even those bright neon colors that kids often prefer.
They are ideal for large or small rooms.
A unique benefit is that they are lightweight and can be moved very easily.
This is not something you can do with more traditional furniture.
A bean bag chair can come in different sizes as well.
So you can find one suitable for a toddler or a teen.
They help keep kids off the carpet, which many contain allergens and chemicals.
There is so much variety that you are likely to find bean bags for nearly any purpose in your home.
