Best Bean Bag Chair for Kids 2024

Every home at some point should have a bean bag chair.  They can be used for movie nights, reading and pretty much everything you can think of. They are so easily moved around and propped-up that this makes them an ideal companion in every kid’s room. Bean bag chairs are slightly different from the bean bag, however the only difference is a slight-one and that they have a similar shape to a chair, but this is mainly to do with stitching and not any solid internal structure, which some might wonder about, maybe even thinking that it ruins the relaxing comfort of the soft feeling the original type had, but fret not it’s an all-rounder.

Best Overall Pick

The “Chill Bag” is the best in my opinion. This pear-shaped water-resistant bean-bag has been made with Fabric that can withstand superior roughing and comes in an array of colors which can suit a wide range of homes and circumstances, which others can’t necessarily do.

Best Budget Pick

The “Disney Frozen Kids” is the budget choice for and is on the low end of the budget but offers great value for money, which is great.

Consideration When Choosing Bean Bags for Kids

Size – is an important factor when choosing and the larger the child the bigger the bag should be, however you’re probably saying…well of course..but the amount of parents that don’t get the size right first time round would astonish you. Another important factor is, if you want multiple kids to be able to use the bag at the same time, which is preferred by some, especially if a movie is on, then a larger is the one to choose.

Seat Types: There are loads of different types of children’s seats, from bean bags to kids recliners. Have you ever sat on a new recliner with the electric button for adjusting leg position, it is bliss, which is another option worth considering and can be found at reclinerfaq.com.

Color – Make sure to pick the right color and get one that suits the kids, both in personal preference and matches the room. I have never liked orange and red together for example…but maybe that’s just me!!

Washable – Some come with removable covers and this makes it really easy to wash, so depending on the way you envision your child using the bag, it’s probably sensible just to make sure you buy the one that suits. My personal preference is always washable, because as we all know a spill can happen at any moment. Some are water-resistant and this is a nice feature to prevent major mess or spills, which can get soaked up.

Safety – Most have been made with safety regulations in mind, however there are some that offer greater fire-resistant beads that lessen the chance of fire in the unlikely event. There is another level of prevention and the double-stitched lining and zipper makes it hard to tare, rip or spill.

Material – The material and design is by the company Zanotta, which invented this global sensation, which is now in every corner of the world. Styrofoam is the main material and is the most commonly used. As time has passed the technology has slightly adapted, but almost all bean bag adaptations have a lovely soft bounce to them making sitting in them a pleasure. The inside of the bag traditionally and most commonly dried beans, but increasingly is becoming polypropylene and polystyrene. There is loads of different materials used on the outer layers as well and some of these are:

  • Suede
  • Leather
  • Fur
  • Denim

Types of Filler

There are loads of different types of material used and normally the higher quality the filler the more expensive, but sometimes the synthetic material is as good as the traditional bean. Most material used these days are fire-resistant and offer better protection for your family. The material used for the filler is more commonly recycled waste and is a great way to be environmentally friendly, even if unintended. The material that is used is usually polyurethane, but even broken down bottles are recycled and then used. Other types used are:

  • EPS Beads
  • Micro-Beads
  • Compressed Foam
  • Beans, Rice and Natural Fillers
