Find the right seat to sink into

Lean back, because no matter how different the types of beanbags are, they all serve a single purpose: relaxation.
Outdoors and indoors, the cosy furniture is versatile and adapts to you and your body. Thanks to innovative fillings, rustling is a thing of the past. Instead, models invite you to daydream - without pressure points. Find out which beanbag is right for you here.
Outdoor soloists or duos
The classic beanbag comes in the form of a rectangular cushion like the model from Overseas. By sitting down and sliding back and forth, a backrest is formed. To provide additional support, there are variants such as those from Fatboy with straps and straps to fix them in place. Other models from Arit or Sitting Bull have a predetermined backrest.
Covers vary between artificial and plant-based materials. It is worth opting for models that promise a water-repellent and UV-resistant protective layer. Available in plain colours and two-tone, there are models such as those from Arit, which are particularly elegantly finished and are therefore designed with an extra weather protection cover. They also have an additional clue: if you remove the cover, you are greeted by two seat cushions when you are in good company.
In most cases, the filling is low-noise polystyrene, so-called EPS beads. They should dry quickly, be breathable and resist mould.
Indoor heroes
Ball-shaped, angular, with armrests or in a classic "dumpling" cut, these beanbags are available for indoor use. Of course, you can also use all outdoor models under a roof. The advantage of indoor versions is simply that they are usually fluffier.
They are available in water-repellent plastic, soft cotton, cosy fur or velvety textiles. Their fillings are usually noiseless and consist mainly of EPS beads. However, you can look out for features such as hybrid memory foam in models from Vetsak, which also promises not to lose any volume. Vluv beanbags, on the other hand, have a removable cover and are suitable for you if you don't like sitting on a chair - and sitting still. Their seat firmness is adjustable and is designed to support your posture. Less for lounging, but a nice alternative to an office chair in the study. There are also size-appropriate and cute designs for children.
The better deckchairs for outdoors
Since, depending on your height, your legs may come up short on a classic, there are beanbags in the shape of loungers. They do not differ significantly in terms of their properties. Only exceptions such as the loungers from Arit score points with features such as the patented Dryfeel® filling, which is said to dry three times faster than conventional fillings. They also have practical cushions that catapult comfort to the next level.
Air beanbags without pumps
The latest generation of beanbags, such as those from Fiam, allow you to lie comfortably on the water. Their foam balls provide buoyancy
.
Airbags and chairs from Fatboy and Creative Living are practical relaxation furniture, even when travelling. Both have a carrying bag and can be installed in the desired location in seconds without the need for a pump. They are usually made of one hundred per cent water-resistant polyester.
