Dorm Furniture - Pillows - Comfortable, Convenient

A majority of a college student's life is spent in the dorm ... visiting, studying, relaxing, and sleeping. The challenge is making that dorm room comfortable and "your own" within the confines of the space available and monetary constraints. Floor pillows can be the affordable answer to that decorating dilemma.

Today, pillows are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as a multitude of colors, patterns and fabrics. Many offer optional inner liners that allow you to remove the outer cover for laundering.

Dorm Furniture - Choose Multi-Purpose Pieces

Choose Multi-Purpose Dorm Furniture
Many college dorms have somewhat narrow hallways, making it difficult to navigate with traditional heavy furniture. In addition, the dorm rooms themselves tend to be small. Therefore, when shopping for dorm room furniture, our advice is to look for foam furniture pieces that serve multi-purposes. At One Purple Frog you'll find a wide range of furniture that is perfectly suited to a college dorm.

Relax Lounger

With two simple clicks of the durable clasps, the Relax Lounger (with cozy seating for two) can become either a large, luxurious floor pillow or temporary bedding for those unexpected overnight guests! The shredded urethane foam fill of the Relax Lounger provides the same support and comfort for which "Foof" Chairs have become famous!

Dorm Furniture Buying Tips

Heading off to college? Looking for comfortable dorm furniture? Not sure what to look for? We are here to help!

First you need to decide how you are going to use your dorm furniture. Do you need a comfortable chair for studying? Want a crash pad for when extra friends come to visit? Or, are you looking for an alternative to that old, wooden loft?

Bean bag or foam furniture will serve you well. The following are features to look for in a bean bag chair or other foam furniture for your college dorm room:
  • Washable Covers - Can the cover be removed for washing without removing the filling? Being able to launder the outside cover will significantly increase the useable life of your dorm furniture.

  • Type of Filler - You have two choices: polystyrene beads or urethane foam fill. Polystyrene beads are lighter in weight but are like packing peanuts and will flatten down, break down and leak out with use and age. Urethane foam fill is not only more supportive, but it will never break down. Urethane foam is the same material that is used in quality sofa cushions.

  • Cost of Replacement Fill - If you choose the polystyrene beads, you will need to factor in the cost of replacement fill, because polystyrene beads are likely to last just two semesters.


  • Quality Construction - Are the seams double-stitched? Is the zipper a good one? College dorm furniture gets some pretty rough use. You do not want the seams popping or the zipper breaking after just a couple of parties!


  • Replacement Covers - After four years in a dorm room, it is likely your style and tastes will change. The Fuf Chair line of foam-filled bean bag chairs offers replacement covers in dozens of colors, patterns and fabric.

When looking for bean bag chairs and foam furniture for the dorm room, there are many shapes and styles to choose from. For information on that, check out our post from July 21st - Bean Bag Chairs - Cool Dorm Furniture.
