Bean Bag Chair Differences

Today, there are many manufacturers of bean bag chairs. Each one tries to create something different from all the others. As a result, there are many choices:
  • type of filler - polystyrene beans or urethane foam

  • type of cover - vinyl or upholstery grade fabric

  • with or without an inner liner

  • quality of construction

  • shape

  • size.

It can become very confusing! Because of the well-earned reputation of Fuf Chairs and Jaxx Sacs, we will focus on the bean bag chair products of these two companies.

Fuf Chairs and Jaxx Sacs are similar in that they all feature:
  • durable, supportive urethane foam fill

  • have inner liners available

  • with a nice choice of upholstery grade fabrics

  • are made in the U. S. A.

  • and are backed by a warranty against manufacturing defects.

However, that is where the similarities end! The shapes and sizes offered by each company are quite different.

Fuf Chairs are available in 7 sizes:

Extra Small Fuf Chair in Sky Passion Suede Small Fuf Chair in Moss Passion Suede Medium Fuf Chair in Chocolate Passion Suede Large Fuf Chair in Camel Passion Suede King Fuf Chair in Scarlet Velvet Extra Large Fuf Chair in Black Passion Suede Extra Extra Large Fuf Chair in Scarlet Velvet

  • Extra Small (2-footer) - sized for pre-K to middle-school age children

  • Small (3-footer) - sized for early elementary to junior-high age children

  • Medium (3.5-footer) - sized for junior-high to college age young people

  • Large (4-footer) - supportive enough for a man

  • King (5-footer) - cozy seating for two adults

These first five sizes are ball-shaped. The largest two sizes are capsule-shaped:
  • Extra Large (6-footer) - can serve as a sleeper or a loveseat for two

  • Extra Extra Large (7-footer) - also known as a Fuf Couch!

Jaxx Sacs are available as: the Jaxx Club, the Jaxx Lounger, the Jaxx Sac and the Jaxx Sphere.

The Jaxx Club is a unique four sided design and is available at a base width of 40" or 60".
