    A little bit About Bean Bag Chairs

    Thinking about purchasing one of the many comfortable, colorful and popular bean bag chairs? If you don't feel like making one yourself, the options to purchase are endless, and they can also be stylish! They are great for children, giving them a fun-filled and entertaining way to lounge and relax as they play with the chair's morphing abilities for hours on end. bean bag furniture

    This chair started in Italy in the late nineteen sixties and was originally known as the Sacco. Its success was immediate and its popularity continued throughout the nineteen seventies, with at least one in almost every household. These days, you can find them in every style and color, big and small, to suit your needs.

    There is a very specific process involved in manufacturing this kind of chair. This is because of the nature of the materials found in the product, which could sometimes be potential safety hazards. This refers specifically to the beads which make up the filler in the bag, which are responsible for the way sitting on the bag feels. When making the product, it is important to keep the filler contained and make sure that it will not be able to escape when the chair is used regularly. bean bag sofa

    Bean bag chairs are traditionally filled with balls made from polystyrene. These beads are suitable because they are lightweight and very airy. They also have a cushion-like feeling and are resistant to compression. This is why the chair is so comfortable, and continues to be that way even with constant use.

    Another word for polystyrene is Styrofoam. This brand name comes from the company Dow. To make Styrofoam, chemicals are mixed with plastics, and the expandable resin that is created is then heated to the point that it bursts, a little like popcorn. When it pops, it takes on the bead shape and characteristics. Further heating will cause the resin, also known as EPS, to form hard beads, which aren't suitable for these chairs.

    One of the positive aspects about polystyrene beads is that they can be made from recycled plastic. This gives this type of furniture the added benefit of helping the environment. Alternatively, the beads can be made from virgin plastic. There is no difference in the final result; they both feel the same way in the end. However, it is important to note that polystyrene itself is neither biodegradable nor recyclable once created. This is one reason why it would be a good idea to try and purchase a bean bag chair where the filler has been made from one hundred percent recycled plastic.

    More recent ranges of this product are filled with a high density foam. It is extremely comfortable and has the added advantage of being able to be compressed for shipping purposes. This is a great money-saver. Once the packaging seal is broken, this foam takes its regular shape. The chair filled with foam rather than polystyrene beads tends to have better structure. large bean bag chairs

    Today, we are lucky enough to have bean bag chairs on the market that are filled with both beads and foam. big bean bag chairs
