Bean Bag Chairs and Kids' Playroom Furniture

Small Fuf Chair - Better Kid's Bean Bag Chair

2010-11-12T12:19:00.001-05:00

Better Bean Bag Chair for Kids
Shopping for a great holiday gift for that special child in your life? The Small Fuf Chair is sure to delight! The Fuf Chair is the original fabric-covered, foam-filled bean bag chair. It is a better bean bag chair for kids because of the double-stitched seams (for durability) and the dual, locked zippers (for safety).

Sized Right for Kids
Although comfortable for an adult (as shown above), with a diameter of a full 3', the Small Fuf Chair is sized to fit children from elementary school age on through their early teen-age years. When purchased with an inner liner, this is a bean bag chair that will last for many years because of the ability to remove the outer cover for laundering.

Fuf Chairs in 7 Sizes
Fuf bean bag chairs are available in seven sizes ... from Extra Small to an XXL Fuf Couch. So, whether you are looking for individual seating or for a place for the entire family to relax and share, there is a size to fit your needs. For more information on Fuf Chairs, check out Fuf Facts.

The Prima Ballerina Rocker features a removable, pink ruffled seat cushion and an armrest that opens up to reveal a beautiful ballerina spinning to the tune of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies".

The Fire Engine Rocker is sure to delight your little firefighter as a miniature fire truck "travels" along the runner when your child rocks back and forth. It comes complete with a real-sounding "siren" (which Mom can turn off with the flip of a switch).

The Musical Rocker is bound to encourage the musical side of any child! It features a mini five-note xylophone with wooden mallet attached to the arm, and "Do, Re, Mi" tiles that flip around along the top of the backrest.

Another "sound and action" rocker is the Railroad Rocker, with a locomotive that moves along the runner, complete with "choo-choo" sound effects. Once again, the sound can be turned off with the flip of a switch.

Bean Bag Chairs - Affordable, Multi-Purpose Furniture

2010-06-08T18:05:00.001-04:00

Bean Bag Chairs - an Affordable Update
If your home needs a new look, or your child has outgrown the decor of his room, quality foam-filled bean bag chairs, like Fuf Chairs and Jaxx Sacs, can affordably update that look or make your child's room more inviting.   You do not need to invest "big bucks"! Bean bag chairs come in a variety of sizes and shapes.  From Extra Small (sized just right for the youngest family members) to Loungers as big as 7 feet across ... you can find one that will work in whatever space you have available.



Bean Bag Chairs - Durable Comfort
Unlike traditional bean bag chairs, Fuf Chairs and Jaxx Sacs use quality urethane foam fill. The urethane foam fill never breaks down (like polystyrene beans do) and therefore provides long-lasting, unparalleled support. The fabric covers provide year-round comfort (cool in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter).  Fluff up your Fuf Chair or Jaxx Sac and plop on down ... you will create your own "body print" as the foam fill surrounds and supports you. Then just fluff it up again for the next person to make it his own!

Bean Bag Chairs - Multi-Purpose
Depending on the size, foam-filled bean bag chairs, like Fuf Chairs and Jaxx Sacs, can be used as additional casual seating or as versatile bedding. As chairs, bean bags are perfect for young children and persons with special needs because there are no slippery surfaces to fall off from or hard edges to bump into. Bean bags offer a unique sleeping experience. They are more manuverable than traditional mattresses and can provide a solution to the awkward positions required for sleeping with a broken arm! Because bean bag chairs and loungers are versatile and affordable, they are a great solution for the times when you need extra seating and sleeping spots!

Plan Ahead for Personalized Bean Bag Chairs
A bean bag chair can be made extra-special when you add the option of custom embroidery. But you need to plan ahead! Typically the addition of embroidery adds a week to the lead-time required for shipping.

Dorm Furniture - Pillows - Comfortable, Convenient

2009-08-20T14:58:00.008-04:00

A majority of a college student's life is spent in the dorm ... visiting, studying, relaxing, and sleeping.

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.

One Purple Frog offers Square Floor Pillows that are available in 3 sizes. Round Fuf Pads in 3 sizes and Rectangular Floor Pillows in two sizes! By being able to remove the cover for washing, these dorm floor pillows will remain looking nice for a good long time.

Dorm Furniture - Choose Multi-Purpose Pieces

2009-08-18T16:09:00.006-04:00

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
a lounger that converts to a floor pillow
The Relax Lounger is the latest in the line of unique Fuf Chair products. 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!

Jaxx Pillow Sac
a bean bag chair that converts to a floor pillow
The Jaxx Pillow Sac is a full 5' by 6' and 20" thick ... full of shredded urethane foam. As a bean bag chair, it provides the perfect comfort place to study. When laid flat, it becomes the place to crash and relax after a tough week of classes.

Dorm Furniture Can Be Affordabe

2009-08-12T15:33:00.005-04:00

Dorm Furniture Can Be Affordable
Typically, no one wants to invest big bucks in dorm room furniture. Let's face it: dorm furniture gets a lot of use and sometimes flat-out abuse. And, even if it DOES survive the college years, your style and tastes will probably change! Yet, you want something that will make that "blah-looking" room comfortable and "your own"!

Bean Bag Chairs, Foam Furniture, Accessories
Bean bag chairs, foam furniture, and accessories are the perfect dorm room furniture. Affordable, comfortable and versatile, the dorm furniture that we sell range from floor pillows in a variety of shapes and sizes to foam-filled bean bag chairs that can replace that uncomfortable dorm mattress!

Products Under $100
The advantage that each of these items has is that they have removable covers that can be laundered from time to time!



Products Under $200
If your budget is not too tight, you can show your school spirit with a larger foam-filled bean bag chair. And if you are an avid video game player, then a video rocker or Wedge Lounger will help you "take a break" in style!





Multi-Purpose Dorm Furniture
For those with more cash to spend, the largest of the foam-filled bean bag chairs can be used as seating for more than one person, or as a replacement mattress.

Dorm Furniture Buying Tips

2009-08-11T14:52:00.012-04:00

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?

Jaxx Pillow Sac

Fuf Pad

Zak Contour Convertible

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.

Polystyrene Beads

Shredded Urethane Foam

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.

Bean Bag Chairs - Cool Dorm Furniture

2009-07-21T13:28:00.009-04:00

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!

Medium Fuf Chair - Jaxx 40 Club Chair
Bean Bag Chairs are Available in Many Sizes

Bean Bag Chairs ROCK!

2009-07-16T11:52:00.024-04:00

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 Chairs and Couches - Fruit Fuf Chairs

Sports Ball Fuf Chairs

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

Chillum Chair - Jaxx Club Chair

Block 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!

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.

Bean Bag Chair Differences

2009-05-27T16:44:00.018-04:00

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 (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".

The Jaxx Lounger is capsule-shaped, with a 3' diameter and lengths of 5', 6' or 7.5'.

The Jaxx Sac is drum-shaped, 3' in height and in diameters of 3', 4', 5', 6' and 7'.

The Jaxx Sphere is a ball-shaped design, 3' in height and either 5' or 6' in diameter.

Keep in mind: whether you choose a Fuf Chair or a Jaxx Sac ... you will want to carefully measure the space you have available ... those large size bean bag chairs are BIG!

But, no matter which you choose, you can be assured of a quality product that will serve you well for years to come!

Keeping Your Bean Bag Chair Looking New - Part 3

2009-04-23T17:52:00.004-04:00

Fluffing Up a Foam-Filled Bean Bag Chair

One of the best features of a foam filled bean bag chair is the fact that while it conforms to the shape of whoever is sitting in it, it can be fluffed up (like a good quality bed pillow) to provide individualized comfort for the next person.

There are four simple steps:

Step 1:
Grip the seams of the bean bag chair.

Step 2:
Lift the bean bag chair, rolling it to turn it over.

Step 3:
Continue to lift and roll several times.

Step 4:
When it is full and round, sit yourself down and be engulfed by the comfort.

The Fuf Chair and Jaxx Pillow Sac are two quality foam-filled bean bag chairs that can be fluffed up time and time again … keeping your bean bag chair feeling like new every time!

Tips for Re-Covering Your Bean Bag Chair

After you have laundered the outer cover, placing it back on the bean bag chair can be a challenge. The quality foam-filled Jaxx Pillow Sac and some of the larger Fuf Chairs can be particularly difficult just by virtue of their size. We have three suggestions that you may find helpful:

the “Plastic Bag Technique”
the “Pillow Stuffing Technique”
the “Remove Some of the Fill Technique”.

The “Plastic Bag Technique”
works well if you have teen-agers in the house! It involves placing the bean bag chair in a brand new, heavyweight plastic bag. A leaf bag or contractors bag works well. Gather up the open end of the plastic bag and then “body slam” the bag with the bean bag chair in it, to remove some of the air from it, re-closing the opening to keep air from going back in. Repeat as necessary until the bean bag chair is smaller than it was. What you are doing is a manual version of vacuum-packing. Then, unzip the outer cover, place the plastic bag with the squished-down bean bag chair into the cover, remove the plastic bag and zip up the outer cover.

The “Pillow-Stuffing Technique”
is best described as similar to placing a Standard-sized pillowcase on a King-sized bed pillow. Unzip and open up the outer cover. Grab a portion of the bean bag chair and stuff it into the cover. Grab another portion, stuff that in while also pushing the first portion further into the cover. Working one side and then the other, rolling and filling as you go, seems to work best. Repeat as necessary until it is all in. Zip up the cover.

The “Remove Some of the Fill Technique”
is absolutely guaranteed to work! But be forewarned … it is the messiest procedure! You might want to work in the garage! It is recommended that you place a large plastic sheet (an inexpensive painters’ drop cloth works well) on the floor first. Open up the inner liner of the bean bag chair and remove some of the fill. Place the foam-filled liner (which is now smaller) in the outer cover. Once in, put back the fill that was removed, zip up the inner liner, and zip up the outer cover.

All three of these techniques will work for putting a cover on any Fuf Chair or Jaxx Pillow Sac.
Keeping your foam-filled bean bag chair looking like new means you and your family can enjoy its comfort for years to come!

How to Clean Your Bean Bag Chair

Most families quickly discover that their foam-filled bean bag chair is everyone’s favorite place to relax. With everyday, ordinary use, it is inevitable that the time will come when it starts looking dirty.

Best suggestion: treat the outer cover with Scotch Guard when it is new. Then clean up messes shortly after they happen.

If the bean bag chair you have does not have an optional inner liner, the outer cover can be easily spot cleaned with a good carpet and upholstery cleaner such as Resolve.

If you have a Fuf Chair or a Jaxx Pillow Sac that does include the inner liner, the outer cover can be removed for laundering:

unzip the outer cover by inserting an unbent paper clip into the head of the zipper (this creates a pull tab and the leverage needed to unzip and open up the cover)
remove the outer cover
launder at home or send to a professional dry cleaner.

The quality foam-filled bean bag chairs we have available are created using upholstery grade materials. These cotton blend fabrics are machine-washable.

To launder your bean bag chair cover at home:

Reasons Why Foam Fill is Better

2009-04-14T15:03:00.015-04:00

Manufacturers of better bean bag chairs use urethane foam instead of polystyrene beans ("packing peanuts") for filler. Traditional furniture makers, when creating sofa cushions, have used urethane foam for decades. When urethane foam is used to fill bean bag chairs, the large chunks are cut down into smaller pieces.

King Fuf Chair

Jaxx Pillow Sac

The Fuf Chair by Comfort Research and the Jaxx Pillow Sac by FoamLabs are two good examples of better bean bag chairs. By using urethane foam fill, these better bean bag chairs provide:

a soothing cushion of foam that engulfs the bean bag chair occupant
substantial support for all members of the family, including adults
filler that can be “fluffed up” after use to provide individualized seating for the next person
a durable filler that will never break down, unlike polystyrene beans
fill that is quiet … there is no rustling noise when you change positions
no hard edges or pressure points, so it serves as comfortable seating for anyone with special needs.

So, when you are shopping for better bean bag chairs, be sure to look for a product that offers urethane foam fill. We are sure you will find it well worth the extra cost!

Discount Bean Bag Chairs

2009-04-09T17:30:00.007-04:00

In today's economic climate, it is more important than ever to shop around and find the best deal. And, there is no easier place to compare prices than on the internet. As the old “Yellow Pages” ad used to say: “Let your fingers do the walking” … but be aware you need to be an informed consumer … make sure you are comparing “apples to apples” when shopping for discount bean bag chairs!

Surfing the internet for the best price on a bean bag chair can become very confusing:

bean bag chair images on the internet are easily used by others and are not always representative of the product being offered for sale
not all web sites provide accurate and complete product specifications on their bean bag chairs
not all web sites are kept up-to-date
some web sites require you to input your credit card information before letting you know what your final, total purchase price is.

So, what you want to do is, at each web site, look for answers to these questions:

Is this truly the same bean bag chair, made by the same manufacturer (i.e., a Fuf Chair or a Jaxx Sac, etc.)?
Are the size, fabric, filler, and features the same (i.e., filled with polystyrene beans or urethane foam)?
What is the construction of the bean bag chair (i.e., double-stitched seams and dual locked zippers)?
Does the price include an inner liner or an upgraded fabric?
Is the product covered by a warranty against manufacturing defects?
Is a “real person” available to assist with choosing the right fabric or size (either via email or toll-free telephone number)?
What is the final, shipped price?

When shopping for discount bean bag chairs, there is truth in the adage: “You get what you pay for”. You may want to consider paying a little bit more to purchase a bean bag chair from an online dealer who offers good customer service … someone who will “be there for you” when you have questions or difficulties!

Reasons Why Today's Bean Bags are Better

2009-04-06T13:33:00.005-04:00

Perhaps you remember: a number of years ago, there was a product recall of some bean bag chairs after a few children unzipped the bean bag, crawled inside and suffocated. Also, there were news stories of children who choked after inhaling the small polystyrene beads used as filler.

Today’s bean bags - better bean bag chairs …
Quality manufacturers have addressed those issues by designing bean bag chairs that feature:

Double-stitched seams: seams that will withstand the daily use of an active family.
Double zippers: incorporating both an inner zipper as well as an outer zipper.
Locked zippers: zippers that have had the pull tab removed so a young child is unable to open them
Urethane foam filler: a material that will never break down and leak out.

Other reasons why today’s bean bags are better bean bag chairs …
The biggest differences in today's better bean bag chairs are:

Construction: bean bag chairs are best described as a soft ball full of filler. Being frameless, there are no hard edges, no sharp corners, nor rigid surfaces for a child to bump into or slip off of.
Size: bean bag chairs come in a variety of sizes, from small enough for toddlers to large enough for an entire family to cuddle up on.
Design: when a person sits or lies down on a bean bag chair, the bean bag molds to the shape of his or her body, providing individualized comfort and support.
Therapeutic: bean bag chairs are sometimes used by therapists in working with children who have sensory-integration problems. In addition, doctors have recommended bean bag chairs for patients recovering from back surgery.

So, when you are shopping, be sure to look for products that have the features of today’s updated bean bag … better bean bag chairs.

History of the Bean Bag Chair

2009-04-04T18:03:00.011-04:00

Conceived in the late 1960’s
Bean bag chair history goes back almost fifty years. The original bean bag chair was conceived in the late 1960’s by a team of Italian designers. It was pear-shaped (incorporating a head-rest) and made of leather. Called a “Sacco", when it was mass-produced, it was made of vinyl fabric and filled with polystyrene plastic pellets: materials which had only recently been developed. The Sacco revolutionized the concept of a chair with its rigid, hard surface design.

Instantly popular
The Sacco became an instant worldwide phenomenon and a leading icon of the 1970’s. Because a Sacco placed the sitter close to the floor and accommodated a variety of lounging body positions, it met the casual social behavior needs of the times. Consumers liked the fact that the chair molded to each individual’s body shape. Professional decorators liked the lightweight, mobile nature of the furniture. Therapists discovered that the bean bag chair helped children with sensory-integration problems. And, doctors recommended bean bag chairs for patients recovering from back surgery.

Now available from many manufacturers
As its popularity grew, many furniture manufacturers added bean bag chairs to their lines, each incorporating their own unique elements to the design. In the 1990’s, as the world of fashion made “what was old is now new", bean bag chairs evolved from “cheap furniture" to “comfortable, casual seating designed to meet a variety of needs".

Bean bag chairs in many shapes and sizes

Today, you can find bean bag chairs in many shapes and sizes. There are companies who manufacture bean bag chairs with washable, removable fabric covers. And there are some who use urethane foam as filler: a material that provides durable, substantial support.

The history of the bean bag chair is interesting in that is never really "went away" ... it evolved over the years. Today’s bean bag chair is not only versatile and fashionable, but can be custom-made to meet your needs for a good number of years!

Safe Kid Furniture - Foam Filled Bean Bag Chairs

2009-04-03T22:08:00.017-04:00

Reasons Why Foam Filled Bean Bag Chairs are Safe Kid Furniture

As adults, we often exhibit a considerable amount of self-control in how we use our furniture. Your kids, however, may not exhibit the same restraint that you do. For that reason, you may want to consider getting them their own furniture so that they can be uninhibited, comfortable, and safe.

Furniture for adults many times is not suitable for young children:

it is too big for them to get up into
it is too easy for them to fall out of
expensive fabrics can be easily damaged by dirty shoes and dirty, sticky fingers
wooden and metal framework and trim can cause injuries.

If you are looking for safe kid furniture, frameless foam-filled furniture is what you want to shop for. Foam furniture is perfect for children, featuring:

no hard surfaces
soft cotton blend fabrics that are easily kept clean
double stitched seams for durability
dual, locked zippers for safety
high-quality urethane foam fill that is long-lasting and supportive
available as either a traditional-shaped bean bag chair or as an arm chair.

Today’s foam-filled furniture for children, however, is nothing like the bean bag chairs that you might have encountered in the past. While bean bags filled with polystyrene beans (i.e., “packing peanuts”) need to be replaced, sometimes within as little as one year, urethane foam fill lasts forever.

Tink Chairs and Tink Couches – for children 2 to 6 years of age

The Tink Chair is more than just a bean bag chair. It is a frameless, foam-filled arm chair designed for the youngest members of the family. Available in five dozen colors, fabrics, and patterns, it can be made to match any playroom or family room décor. These chairs are not only soft, but also light, so you can move them into your living room if your child prefers sitting on his own chair when you watch movies, read a book, or play games together. If your child is very social and entertains a lot, you will want to consider the Tink Couch and, perhaps, a matching Ottoman.

Fuf Chairs – a better bean bag chair in sizes to fit everyone

Fuf (pronounced “Foof”) Chairs are the original foam-filled bean bag chair. They are available from Extra Small (the “2-Footer”) to Extra Extra Large (the “7-Footer”). Fuf Chairs also offer an optional inner liner, which allows you to remove the outer cover for laundering (particularly important when your household includes children and pets). Urethane foam filler is better because:

it can be “Re-Foofed” again and again, providing individualized seating for everyone
it 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 in a Large Fuf Chair and not "bottom out"
there are no hard edges or pressure points, so it serves as comfortable seating for anyone with special needs.

When shopping for safe kid furniture, the comfort and quality of Tink Chairs and Fuf Chairs is hard to beat! All Fuf Chairs, Tink Chairs and Tink Couches are made in America and come with a one-year warranty!
