Bean Bag Bonanza

Since its introduction in 1968, the bean bag has come a long way. Nowadays you can order bean bags in all manner of shapes, sizes, colors, materials, and so on. And that's just the outside. Bean bag insides can be filled with beans, beads, shredded memory foam, plastic pellets, and more. The options are enough to start your head spinning and prompt add-to-cart paralysis. That's where this guide comes in. Whether you're looking for a bean bag for a teen's room, one on which you can snooze the day away, or something that doesn’t cost a fortune (and more), this list is full of well-rated bean bags that are worth consideration.
