A Word About Improvements in Beanbag Chair Design

Older beanbag chair designs were troublesome in some respects. Imagine flopping into your jumbo bean bag and finding yourself in a blizzard of small polystyrene beads. Failed seams and poor construction were often to blame and cleaning up those tiny plastic beads was a real pain. The small size of the beads often created a hazard to small kids and household pets.

The tiny beads were easily inhaled or ingested. Inhaled beads could quite easily become lodged in the lungs. Since the beads are not regarded as toxic, ingesting the beads was not as big of a health concern but could still result in serious problems.

The problems associated with poorly designed beanbags reached the point where the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an agency of the Federal government intervened. One problem the agency discovered had to do with the design of the zippers. The old design zippers could be easily opened by young children. After several product recalls, manufacturers began to produce zippers that were more kid safe. When buying any type of beanbag chair, always check to see that chair conforms to the latest standards issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Newer designs enclose the beads in an inner bag, reducing the chance of your chairs beads ending up in every corner of the house. Some newer bean bag chair designs often use a combination of poly plastic beads and shredded foam. The result is much more comfortable chair. The outer cover can be removed and cleaned without the stuffing leaking out. Depending on the type of fabric or material used for the cover, the outer cover can be laundered or dry cleaned.
