Bean Bag Chairs - Cool Dorm Furniture

It's almost time to go back to school! And time to think about furnishing that "blah beige" dorm room! Now you can create the room where everyone hangs out! Buy a bean bag chair (or two)! The newest foam-filled bean bag chairs are cool college dorm room furniture:
  • Bean bag chairs are comfortable.
  • Bean bag chairs are available in a variety of sizes.
  • Bean bag chairs let you show off your school spirit!
Bean Bag Chairs are Comfortable
Foam fill and fabric covers make the difference! When you sit down on a Fuf Chair or Jaxx Sac, the urethane foam fill engulfs and supports your body. If you have been reclining and now want to sit more upright ... no problem ... simply fluff up your bean bag chair as you would a good quality bed pillow! Now you have a fresh space to create a new "body imprint". Fabric covers provide comfortable seating year round and can be removed for laundering, which keeps your bean bag chair looking good for a very long time!

If space is not an issue, with Fuf Chairs and Jaxx Sacs ... bigger is better.

Bean Bag Chairs ROCK!

Bean bag chairs have been around for decades and, for good reason: they "rock" ... they are versatile ... they are affordable. Small bean bag chairs provide fun seating for young children. Larger bean bag chairs are comfortable for teens and young adults. The biggest of the bean bags can even replace the "family sofa"!

More Choices
The bean bag chairs of the 1960's and 1970's were covered in vinyl fabric and filled with polystyrene beans ("packing peanuts"). Today, bean bag chair manufacturers offer a much greater variety of upholstery grade fabrics and the option of urethane foam fill. Bean bag chairs are also now available in a variety of shapes and sizes!

Upholstery Grade Fabric vs Vinyl
Fuf Chairs and Jaxx Sacs are fabric-covered bean bag chairs. The advantages of fabric over vinyl covers are:
  • fabric is supple and comfortable all year long, unlike vinyl which is hot in the summer and cold in the winter
  • upholstery grade fabrics are available in a greater variety of blends, textures, colors and patterns
  • when ordered with an inner liner, the outer cover can be removed for laundering
  • fabric covers can be embroidered, for a customized look.

Urethane Foam Fill vs Polystyrene Beans
Urethane foam is the same material that is used by manufacturers of fine sofa cushions. Urethane foam fill is better than polystyrene beans because:
  • when you sit in a foam filled bean bag chair, you are engulfed by a soothing cushion of foam
  • foam fill provides customized seating ... just fluff up the bean bag chair for the next person's pleasure
  • urethane foam NEVER breaks down, unlike polystyrene beans that need to be replaced within a year
  • foam fill is quiet ... there is no rustling noise as you change positions
  • the support that urethane foam provides is substantial enough that a big man can sit down and not "bottom out".
Further, there are no hard edges or pressure points with a bean bag chair, so it serves as comfortable seating for anyone with special needs.

Many Shapes and Sizes Available
Bean bag chairs are no longer just round balls. They are offered in a variety of shapes. For kids there are:

Tink Arm Chair for Children Fruit Fuf Chairs - Apple, Banana, Orange and Pear
Tink Chairs and Couches - Fruit Fuf Chairs

Sports Ball Fuf Chairs - Baseball, Basketball, Football and Soccer Ball
Sports Ball Fuf Chairs


There are shapes that make bean bag chairs more comfortable for adults:

Chillum Chair Jaxx Club Chair

Block Fuf Chair

Bean Bag Chairs ROCK!
For style, comfort, versatility and affordability, bean bag chairs are perfect casual furniture for the family room, game room, playroom, classroom or dorm room. For these styles and more, check us out!

Latest Consumer Product Safety Standards

At One Purple Frog, we are dedicated to providing quality children's playroom furniture that not only sparks a child's imagination, but ... more importantly ... is SAFE! We are proud to offer the unique hand-crafted, hand-painted children's playroom furniture designed by Levels of Discovery.

In recent months, there has been a lot of information in the media regarding consumer product safety laws in the United States. In August 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) enacted several changes to current consumer product safety laws.

Effective February 10, 2009, lead content in any children's product must not exceed 600 parts per million (ppm) by weight for any part of the product. Effective August, 2009, the lead limit will be decreased again to 300 ppm total lead content.

From the day Levels of Discovery began manufacturing in May of 2002, all of their products have been in compliance with CPSIA regulations. As soon as they became aware of the new laws for 2009, their entire line was re-tested again and all were found to be in compliance with the new standards as well.

Rest assured, consumers can be confident that the rocking horses, rocking chairs, toy boxes, and table & chairs sets manufactured by Levels of Discovery and offered by One Purple Frog all meet the current CPSIA safety standards.
