TYPES OF BEAN BAGS
Round bean bag
These are the most common types of bean bags. The material is a large round bag that is shaped like a ball. It has enough space to collapse and mould itself depending on the shape of the person sitting in it.

Square bean bag
There are also bean bags that have a more defined shape. They have shaped cushions and sometimes even armrests attached to them, offering a more traditional sitting experience.

Gaming chairs
Many gamers enjoy playing while perched in a bean bag chair. These come in various types, but often include a structured seating area and built-in speakers to relay audio from the television directly to the person in the chair.

Novelty chairs
You can find beanbags for kids that come in all kinds of fun shapes and designs. There are chairs shaped like animals, sports equipment, and even emojis.

Large and long
If you’re trying to seat several people, some bean bag chairs come in massive sizes that stretch out and offer multiple seating options.
