Market reports show bean bags are increasingly popular, thanks to their comfort and style. Among the many styles available, the bean bag lounger stands out for its versatility and comfort, perfect for indoor or outdoor use. To make the most of your soft bean bag lounger, consider factors like size, finish, and placement. This guide covers everything you need to know about these comfortable havens.
What Are Bean Bag Loungers?
Bean bag loungers mimic the style of traditional loungers, sitting low to the ground with ample space to stretch out. The slanted "backrest" provides a comfortable reclining position. While most bean bags are comfortable, loungers excel in providing a relaxed seating experience.
Bean Bag Lounger Benefits
The primary advantage of bean bags is superior comfort. They mold to your body, eliminating hard edges and accommodating your unique shape. Many find this supports back health. Bean bag loungers combine this with the ease of a lounger. They also add a funky, laid-back element to your decor. Depending on the finish, you can achieve an upscale look with materials like leather or fur. Outdoor pool loungers offer a modern, minimal aesthetic. Bean bags are often more affordable than traditional furniture like sofas or recliners, costing hundreds instead of thousands of dollars. Bean bag loungers offer even more savings compared to traditional loungers. They can be used indoors and outdoors, making them multipurpose and easy to clean and maintain.
Size Considerations
When choosing a bean bag lounger, consider the size. Do you want a single lounger or a double bean bag lounger? Single loungers, like our Media Lounger, take up less space. Larger loungers, like the Costa Luxe double bean bag, offer more seating space for cuddling.
Finishes
Consider your existing color scheme and design style when choosing finishes.
Color
For pops of color or Memphis style, opt for bright hues like jewel blue or rich purple. For a luxurious style, choose pure white or light pink satin. Neutrals like grey and beige are great for modern, minimal schemes. Bean bags can look casual, quirky, or sophisticated, depending on the finish.
Indoor vs Outdoor
Consider where you'll use your bean bag lounger. For outdoor use, choose our designer outdoor bean bags with sun, stain, and water-resistant fabrics. These are also a good option for high-traffic areas or homes with pets and kids. While outdoor bean bags cost more, their resilient finish makes them worthwhile for patios or gardens. An outdoor bean bag lounger can be used anywhere, while an indoor lounger shouldn't be used outside.
Pool Bean Bag Loungers
If you have a pool, consider pool loungers. These 100% waterproof bean bags float buoyantly in your pool, offering superior comfort and back support compared to pool floats. They keep you semi-upright for easy sipping and reading. Pool bean bag loungers can also be moved around your poolside, doubling as poolside loungers.

How to Decorate With Bean Bag Loungers
When incorporating bean bags into your decor, remember that loungers require more space than traditional bean bags. Plan for dual placement if using them both indoors and outdoors. Bean bags are easy to move, thanks to their light filling. If you have a place outside and an empty corner inside, you can conveniently use your bean bag lounger in both locations (with an outdoor finish). When decorating a living room with bean bags, ensure a dedicated spot for a cohesive blend. Style your bean bag by placing a small side table next to it and a picture on the wall behind or a large house plant to the side to create focal areas.
Where to Use Bean Bags
Bean bags aren't just for lounges or patios. They can serve as great seating and decor in various areas.
Offices
Bean bag loungers are ideal for home offices, providing a comfy spot to take a breather or rest your back. They instantly jazz up office spaces, adding a casual, fun vibe. They're also affordable and comfortable.
Nurseries
Bean bag loungers are great for nurseries, providing a soft, safe place to cuddle with your baby during naps and feeds.
Guest Rooms
Bean bag loungers make for great seating in guest rooms, offering a comfortable spot for visitors to relax in private.
Kids' Rooms
Kids' rooms are another ideal spot for bean bags, bringing a fun feel. It's easy to find bean bags in bright colors that match a kid's room aesthetic. Teenagers will also appreciate bean bag lounger options.
