A Little Bit About Bean Bag Chairs

Unlike conventional furniture, bean bag chairs are fun and versatile. They are incredibly comfortable and their simplicity enables them to be available in practically every color, which allow them to be stylish as well! Bean Bag Chairs for Kids love them because they feel great to the touch, which is very entertaining, and are a fun alternative to relaxation. The ever-changing shapes as the product moulds to their bodies provides endless hours of fun.

Originally created in the 1960s, this product was first conceived in Italy. It was called the Sacco and its overnight success was astounding. During the 1970s, it was found in practically every home for lounging and relaxation. Still popular today, they can be found in almost any size, style and color to match any taste.

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.

The beads inside are made from polystyrene. This is the original and traditional filler. They are light and airy, and feel like cushion when sat on. Better yet, they resist compression, which contributes to the comfort level of sitting in the chair, especially over an extended period of time.

Polystyrene is also known as Styrofoam, which is the brand name given to it by the company Dow. It is created by mixing plastic and chemicals, which produces EPS. EPS is an expandable resin which needs to be heated to the point that it pops, like popcorn, into little balls. If it is heated any further, the balls will become too hard to be used for this kind of product.

A good thing about polystyrene beads is the fact that they can be created using plastic that is recycled. This environmentally-friendly approach makes such a product even more appealing. Indeed, virgin plastic can be used to create the beads, but there is absolutely no difference in how they look or feel. However, because polystyrene cannot be recycled and is not biodegradable, it's a good suggestion to ensure that the bean bag chair you choose has been made using recycled plastic.

There is a new filler on the market, which offers an alternative to polystyrene beads. It is a foam of high density that is very comfortable and can also be easily compressed. This characteristic makes it cheaper to ship to the consumer. Breaking the seal allows the foam to spring back into shape. Foam-filled chairs have more structure than those that are bead-filled.

Nowadays, there are Bean Bags chairs that have fillers made up of both foam and polystyrene beads. This is a good option for those consumers who want the benefits of both materials.
