Bean Bag Chair History

Bean bag chairs are a popular form of home furniture made of fabric and normally filled with small chunks of styrofoam or PVC pellets. Bean bag chairs were extremely popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their popularity resumed in the mid 1990s, as companies began selling chairs filled with shredded polyurethane foam, charging a premium for the extra comfort the foam provides.

For bean bag chairs, It is also called expanded polystyrene or EPS in the furniture industry. The diameter of the bead that goes into the bean bag does vary from about 3mm to 9 mm, however you can now also purchase micro-bead which is 1mm to less than 3mm in diameter. Depending on how the bean bag chair is cared for, the beans within a bean bag will become compressed and comfort will be reduced after 2+ years of consistent use. Just recently, companies like Bean Bag Supply.com started carrying smaller bags of refill to top the worn out polystyrene beans.

Since the popularity and demand for bean bags has increased since the mid-90's, a lot of companies are providing unique styles, colors, sizes, and even logo bean bags - from Nascar Bean Bags to Collegiate Bean Bags to NFL Bean Bags.
