It might surprise you, but bean bag chairs can be expensive, often costing a couple of hundred dollars. That can seem a bit pricey for what is essentially a large piece of fabric filled with beans or foam. Thankfully for just over $100, you can purchase the Big Joe Black Large Fuf. Despite its value price tag, this is still a bean bag chair that you will enjoy having.
Shaped like a very large ball, it has a class bean bag chair look. The details, however, are very modern. The inside has foam filling which makes it more durable and springier. You can expect a long lifetime with this item.
For added convenience, the Big Joe Black Large Fuf has a handle, which makes it perfect for maneuvering around the house, especially if you are on your own.
There’s plenty of choice with this model. It comes in classic black as well as more modern colors such as light blue, dark grey, and cocoa.
What’s more, if you really like the design of the Big Joe Black Large Fuf but need a different size, the manufacturer also has an extra-large size for those wanting a bit more bulk.
The biggest disappointment with the Big Joe Black Large Fuf is that it isn’t as puffy as some would like. This is an unfortunately common complaint with most bean bag chairs. If you need more foam for this item, you will have to purchase it which can add to the overall expense.
Pros
Very budget-friendly
Handle makes it easy to move
Size and color options
Cons
Not as fluffy as expected

Let’s face it. As we get older our backs tend to need a bit of extra support. Or sometimes even a lot of support. As much as bean bag chairs are comfortable, they do tend to lack enough back support. That’s why the Big Joe Stack Chair is such a unique product. Instead of being simply a ball of beans, this chair has a separate compartment made for back support. You can sit in this chair and have the comfort of a traditional bean bag chair with the added support you need. It’s the best of both worlds.
Because of its back support, this is also one of the best bean bag chairs for gaming. You can have hours of gaming time all while being completely supported.
The inside of the Big Joe Stack Chair is filled with unique Megahh beans. While more and more bean bag chairs are using foam fill, this product is a traditionalist. The beans are lightweight and form completely to your body. No matter your size, you will fell like you are sitting on a cloud.
This cloud-like feeling is further enhanced by the plush microfiber fabric. The cover doesn’t have a lot of color options, and the most popular color is turquoise.
While most bean bag chairs need to have their filling replaced every six months to a year, most users recommend refilling every two months. This can quickly become expensive and tedious, so it is something to really consider.
Pros
Excellent back support
Cloud-like fabric
Traditional feel of real beans
Cons
Might need to refill beans every two months
Buying Guide
If you’re looking for a bit of a statement in your home and are considering a bean bag chair, there are a lot of options to choose from. Learn about all the exciting features you can choose from so you can find the perfect bean bag chair.
Advantages of getting a bean bag chair
Need somewhere comfortable to sit on but also want a flexible option that can easily be moved? A bean bag offers the best of both worlds. Not only is it comfortable and supportive, but it is also portable. You can move it from the rec room to the bedroom. Or, if you want to free up space you can easily store it in a closet. Furthermore, you can bring it in to a room for extra seating when guests come over.
Whether you’re watching your favorite movie and settling in for a video game session, you want to be comfortable. Chairs and couches might not be the right fit. Because bean bags mold to yourself, you can be guaranteed of the perfect support, always.
Features to consider while choosing a bean bag chair
Bean bag chairs come in all styles and sizes. While they will all mold to your body, there are not necessarily a one size fits all kind of accessory. The more you know about their specific features, the easier it is to find one that is perfect for your needs.
Dimensions/size
Where do you envision your bean bag chair to sit? Is it in a corner? In the middle of the room? Take stock and take a few measurements before you purchase anything. Some bean bag chairs, such as the Big Joe Stack Chair, are meant for only one person. Others, like the Lumaland Luxury 7-Foot Bean Bag Chair are wide enough for a small family. You don’t want to make the mistake of buying a bean bag chair for your dorm room only to discover it takes up more space than your own bed.
Cover
Thankfully, many bean bag chairs come with removable and washable covers. Let’s face it; chairs can start to smell after a while. All the sitting, eating, and spilling can start to take a toll on a bean bag chair.
A common type of fabric that is used for bean bag chairs is micro suede. The FUGU Kids Beanbag Chair and the Waldo Faux Suede Feet Bean Bag both use this fabric because it is easily cleaned. If you spill on micro suede, the liquid will pool for a while on top of the fabric instead of instantly being absorbed. This allows you time to grab a cloth and blot the liquid before it makes too much of a mess.
Filling
There are two main types of filling for bean bag chairs: traditional beans and more modern foam. Traditional beans will give you a crunchier feel and are a bit noisier as you settle into the chair. They offer a lot of support but over time they can break down. You will have to either add more beans or replace the beans every six months to a year, depending on how often you use your bean bag chair. The cost of refill beans should be factored into your price when purchasing. On our list, the Big Joe Stack Chair uses beans.
The other common fill material is foam. Foam is a nice alternative to beans because it is much springier, holds its shape for longer, and is a lot quieter. The foam fill is cut into small pieces so it will still mold to your individual body.
The foam should be fluffed regularly so it holds it shape better. You don’t have to replace or replenish the foam inside your bean bag chair as often, but if your chair starts to sag, this might be a sign of it needing to be tended to. Foam is becoming much more common, as evidenced by the fact four of the items on our list use it, including the Big Joe Black Large Fuf, the FUGU Kids Beanbag Chair, the Lumaland Luxury 7-Foot Bean Bag Chair, and the Cozy Sack 6-Feet Bean Bag Chair.
Finally, there is one alternative in the bean bag chair world, and that is a synthetic bean fill. The only item on our list that has such as filling is the Waldo Faux Suede Feet Bean Bag. Along with recycled foam, this bag chair uses poly beans which are eco-friendly. They are made to imitate the shape of natural beans, but are man-made. This is a nice compromise if you’re looking for the feel of a traditional bean bag chair but don’t want the hassle of constantly replacing the fill.
Colors available
If you find the perfect bean bag chair with all the features you are looking for, you don’t want to be denied by your purchase just because it doesn’t come in the color you want. All of the bean bag chairs on our list come in black and almost all of them also come in brown. In addition to these basic colors, you can find desert rose or turquoise for the Big Joe Stack Chair and earth or buckskin for the FUGU Kids Beanbag Chair. Out of all the products on our list, the Cozy Sack 6-Feet Bean Bag Chair has the most color options with an impressive 15 hues to choose from.
Extra features
Bean bag chairs are relatively simple so when you come across extra features, it’s a really nice bonus. The biggest maintenance aspect of these chairs is the fill. Sometimes, the inside foam or even beans can take a few days to really fluff up after delivery. And while the manufacturer includes as much fill as they think is idea, this can vary greatly between individuals. It’s best to test out your new bean bag for at least one week before deciding if it needs more or less fill. It’s always a nice feature if the manufacturer has easy to purchase filling to match the product that is already being used.
Another extra feature that is handy is a handle. Chances are you’ll be moving your bean bag chair at some point. While they aren’t very heavy, they can be bulky. Finding a bean bag chair with a handle means so much more convenience, especially if it’s just you moving it around. The Big Joe Black Large Fuf has a handle and it screams ease of use.
Most bean bag chairs have removable covers. This is so you can easily clean spills or switch to a new color with any décor changes. Having easy to use zippers is so convenient and durables are all the better to prevent any breakages.
While the cover of a bean bag chair might have decent spill coverage, accidents to happen. A wonderful bonus feature is a second, inner cover that is waterproof. Being puncture proof, like the Waldo Faux Suede Feet Bean Bag is also a really great feature, especially if you have pets that plan on taking their daily nap on your new bag. Sharp claws can snag fabric and if any holes develop, that filing can start spilling.
When it comes to extra features of bean bag chairs, take stock of your environment. If you have kids, pick a product that is easy to wash and clean up. If you have pets, find something that won’t get easily damaged.
FAQ
How often will I have to refill the bag with new beans/foam?
Bean bag chairs have many different types of fill and this will determine how often the insides need to be replaced. Traditional bean fill can break down over time and you might want to top up the bean components every year. You don’t have to remover the old beans; however, over time this will add to the overall weight of your chair. After a few years you might want to get rid of the entire inside components and start with fresh bean fill.
Foam, on the other hand, will last for a lot longer. You might need to add more in one or two years, but foam is meant to fluff back to its original size. A few fluffs each day should keep the foam nice and bouncy.
Are they heavy?
Thankfully, bean bag chairs are not very heavy. This is one of the advantages of purchasing a bean bag chair. Unlike traditional chairs that are hard to move, bean bag chairs are much lighter and can be moved from room to room or even into the closet. Of course, if you purchase a larger sized bean bag chair, expect more weight. Those chairs that are extra long or meant for multiple people will be a bit heavier although still maneuverable.
Are such chairs bad for the spine?
While traditional bean bag chairs don’t offer a lot of support for the spine, there are models that have improved this quality. Regular bean bag chairs are fine if you don’t have any back issues and plan on sitting on one for short intervals. If, however, you need more spinal support, look for a bean bag chair that has a built-in back rest. This will keep your spine aligned properly so you can sit and enjoy your bean bag chair for hours at a time.

The biggest disappointment with the Big Joe Black Large Fuf is that it isn’t as puffy as some would like. This is an unfortunately common complaint with most bean bag chairs. If you need more foam for this item, you will have to purchase it which can add to the overall expense.
Pros
Very budget-friendly
Handle makes it easy to move
Size and color options
Cons
Not as fluffy as expected

Let’s face it. As we get older our backs tend to need a bit of extra support. Or sometimes even a lot of support. As much as bean bag chairs are comfortable, they do tend to lack enough back support. That’s why the Big Joe Stack Chair is such a unique product. Instead of being simply a ball of beans, this chair has a separate compartment made for back support. You can sit in this chair and have the comfort of a traditional bean bag chair with the added support you need. It’s the best of both worlds.
Because of its back support, this is also one of the best bean bag chairs for gaming. You can have hours of gaming time all while being completely supported.
The inside of the Big Joe Stack Chair is filled with unique Megahh beans. While more and more bean bag chairs are using foam fill, this product is a traditionalist. The beans are lightweight and form completely to your body. No matter your size, you will fell like you are sitting on a cloud.
This cloud-like feeling is further enhanced by the plush microfiber fabric. The cover doesn’t have a lot of color options, and the most popular color is turquoise.
While most bean bag chairs need to have their filling replaced every six months to a year, most users recommend refilling every two months. This can quickly become expensive and tedious, so it is something to really consider.
Pros
Excellent back support
Cloud-like fabric
Traditional feel of real beans
Cons
Might need to refill beans every two months
Buying Guide
If you’re looking for a bit of a statement in your home and are considering a bean bag chair, there are a lot of options to choose from. Learn about all the exciting features you can choose from so you can find the perfect bean bag chair.
Advantages of getting a bean bag chair
Need somewhere comfortable to sit on but also want a flexible option that can easily be moved? A bean bag offers the best of both worlds. Not only is it comfortable and supportive, but it is also portable. You can move it from the rec room to the bedroom. Or, if you want to free up space you can easily store it in a closet. Furthermore, you can bring it in to a room for extra seating when guests come over.
Whether you’re watching your favorite movie and settling in for a video game session, you want to be comfortable. Chairs and couches might not be the right fit. Because bean bags mold to yourself, you can be guaranteed of the perfect support, always.
Features to consider while choosing a bean bag chair
Bean bag chairs come in all styles and sizes. While they will all mold to your body, there are not necessarily a one size fits all kind of accessory. The more you know about their specific features, the easier it is to find one that is perfect for your needs.
Dimensions/size
Where do you envision your bean bag chair to sit? Is it in a corner? In the middle of the room? Take stock and take a few measurements before you purchase anything. Some bean bag chairs, such as the Big Joe Stack Chair, are meant for only one person. Others, like the Lumaland Luxury 7-Foot Bean Bag Chair are wide enough for a small family. You don’t want to make the mistake of buying a bean bag chair for your dorm room only to discover it takes up more space than your own bed.
Cover
Thankfully, many bean bag chairs come with removable and washable covers. Let’s face it; chairs can start to smell after a while. All the sitting, eating, and spilling can start to take a toll on a bean bag chair.
A common type of fabric that is used for bean bag chairs is micro suede. The FUGU Kids Beanbag Chair and the Waldo Faux Suede Feet Bean Bag both use this fabric because it is easily cleaned. If you spill on micro suede, the liquid will pool for a while on top of the fabric instead of instantly being absorbed. This allows you time to grab a cloth and blot the liquid before it makes too much of a mess.
Filling
There are two main types of filling for bean bag chairs: traditional beans and more modern foam. Traditional beans will give you a crunchier feel and are a bit noisier as you settle into the chair. They offer a lot of support but over time they can break down. You will have to either add more beans or replace the beans every six months to a year, depending on how often you use your bean bag chair. The cost of refill beans should be factored into your price when purchasing. On our list, the Big Joe Stack Chair uses beans.
The other common fill material is foam. Foam is a nice alternative to beans because it is much springier, holds its shape for longer, and is a lot quieter. The foam fill is cut into small pieces so it will still mold to your individual body.
The foam should be fluffed regularly so it holds it shape better. You don’t have to replace or replenish the foam inside your bean bag chair as often, but if your chair starts to sag, this might be a sign of it needing to be tended to. Foam is becoming much more common, as evidenced by the fact four of the items on our list use it, including the Big Joe Black Large Fuf, the FUGU Kids Beanbag Chair, the Lumaland Luxury 7-Foot Bean Bag Chair, and the Cozy Sack 6-Feet Bean Bag Chair.
Finally, there is one alternative in the bean bag chair world, and that is a synthetic bean fill. The only item on our list that has such as filling is the Waldo Faux Suede Feet Bean Bag. Along with recycled foam, this bag chair uses poly beans which are eco-friendly. They are made to imitate the shape of natural beans, but are man-made. This is a nice compromise if you’re looking for the feel of a traditional bean bag chair but don’t want the hassle of constantly replacing the fill.
Colors available
If you find the perfect bean bag chair with all the features you are looking for, you don’t want to be denied by your purchase just because it doesn’t come in the color you want. All of the bean bag chairs on our list come in black and almost all of them also come in brown. In addition to these basic colors, you can find desert rose or turquoise for the Big Joe Stack Chair and earth or buckskin for the FUGU Kids Beanbag Chair. Out of all the products on our list, the Cozy Sack 6-Feet Bean Bag Chair has the most color options with an impressive 15 hues to choose from.
Extra features
Bean bag chairs are relatively simple so when you come across extra features, it’s a really nice bonus. The biggest maintenance aspect of these chairs is the fill. Sometimes, the inside foam or even beans can take a few days to really fluff up after delivery. And while the manufacturer includes as much fill as they think is idea, this can vary greatly between individuals. It’s best to test out your new bean bag for at least one week before deciding if it needs more or less fill. It’s always a nice feature if the manufacturer has easy to purchase filling to match the product that is already being used.
Another extra feature that is handy is a handle. Chances are you’ll be moving your bean bag chair at some point. While they aren’t very heavy, they can be bulky. Finding a bean bag chair with a handle means so much more convenience, especially if it’s just you moving it around. The Big Joe Black Large Fuf has a handle and it screams ease of use.
Most bean bag chairs have removable covers. This is so you can easily clean spills or switch to a new color with any décor changes. Having easy to use zippers is so convenient and durables are all the better to prevent any breakages.
While the cover of a bean bag chair might have decent spill coverage, accidents to happen. A wonderful bonus feature is a second, inner cover that is waterproof. Being puncture proof, like the Waldo Faux Suede Feet Bean Bag is also a really great feature, especially if you have pets that plan on taking their daily nap on your new bag. Sharp claws can snag fabric and if any holes develop, that filing can start spilling.
When it comes to extra features of bean bag chairs, take stock of your environment. If you have kids, pick a product that is easy to wash and clean up. If you have pets, find something that won’t get easily damaged.
FAQ
How often will I have to refill the bag with new beans/foam?
Bean bag chairs have many different types of fill and this will determine how often the insides need to be replaced. Traditional bean fill can break down over time and you might want to top up the bean components every year. You don’t have to remover the old beans; however, over time this will add to the overall weight of your chair. After a few years you might want to get rid of the entire inside components and start with fresh bean fill.
Foam, on the other hand, will last for a lot longer. You might need to add more in one or two years, but foam is meant to fluff back to its original size. A few fluffs each day should keep the foam nice and bouncy.
Are they heavy?
Thankfully, bean bag chairs are not very heavy. This is one of the advantages of purchasing a bean bag chair. Unlike traditional chairs that are hard to move, bean bag chairs are much lighter and can be moved from room to room or even into the closet. Of course, if you purchase a larger sized bean bag chair, expect more weight. Those chairs that are extra long or meant for multiple people will be a bit heavier although still maneuverable.
Are such chairs bad for the spine?
While traditional bean bag chairs don’t offer a lot of support for the spine, there are models that have improved this quality. Regular bean bag chairs are fine if you don’t have any back issues and plan on sitting on one for short intervals. If, however, you need more spinal support, look for a bean bag chair that has a built-in back rest. This will keep your spine aligned properly so you can sit and enjoy your bean bag chair for hours at a time.
