Reddit mentions: The best bean bag chairs

Got seating? Nothing sucks more than an apartment without adequate seating. Get nice seating. Sofas, chairs. I just bought a 7' foof chair that arrived today. It's not "grown up", but fuck being a grownup, it's the most comfy thing ever. Like a cross between a pile of thick blankets and a memory foam pillow.

Got a rug? Buy a rug that matches that seating. Helps define a space and brings a room together. Makes it seem intentional.

Got paint? Shit, son, go crazy. Paint the place. Look up what colors work best in big or small spaces. Consider just painting one wall. Also consider painting that wall a color that's gonna match your seating and rug.

Got curtains? Curtains do wonders. Don't make EVERYTHING the same color, but curtains can do just as well as an accent wall for tying a room together. On a tight budget? I am, and curtains can be really damn expensive. I had great success with these and the clips. Then, I got crappy king size sheets from Wal Mart, trimmed them down to size, and used the existing hem at the top of the sheet for the hem at the bottom of the curtain. Bam. As an added bonus, they're thin, crappy sheets, and alone, will let some light in through them for a great look. Mine are in front of the existing blinds for when I want real darkness, but a double layer will do the trick if no blinds exist. Just make sure your curtains aren't TOO heavy, especially if your drywall sucks, and ALWAYS use proper screws for mounting- the beefier the better, curtains get tugged on all the time, and when they're open, all the weight is resting on one or two points of the wire, causing great stress. I've had them rip out of the wall before because I was careless, and then you have to spackle and then there's tons of dust and it's just a mess.

So, your walls are painted, put shit on them! Not too cluttered. If you aren't a "pictures" sorta guy (And who is anymore? Don't we have walls on Facebook for that?), then you can use something else. I got one of those deep gallery frames in black and flattened some birch bark and put it in there. Looks great contrasted against a darker colored wall. Small shaped mirrors can also work, and in some spaces, larger mirrors on the wall can make the space seem bigger. I have a couple small round mirrors of varying sizes clustered around a mirrored clock- Got it all at Target.

Here's a trick to consider: Mount a large mirror on the wall opposite the TV such that you can see the TV in it. This has two benefits: One, watching a movie in the dark, it reflects the light, giving an ambient lighting effect similar to those TVs with the colored back lights that dynamically respond to the image. Two, it allows you to be able to see the TV from anywhere in the room, without facing it- a godsend when you need to squeeze more chairs in a small living room for guests.

Consider getting a head board for your bed. It makes it look and feel more substantial and grown up, plus, you can tie someone to it, if you're into that.

Make sure there's adequate lighting! Makes the place seem bigger, and friendlier, and better.

I'm also fresh out of college, and I enjoy doing this sort of thing. I've lived in my current place for a few years now. My roommates don't always give a shit about this stuff, but I do. I can think of more if you're interested. I'd be happy to post some pictures of any of the suggestions I've listed if you'd like, it's all stuff I've done myself around my place. Also, go wander around IKEA if there's one near you, even if you don't buy from there you can get design ideas.

1. Blue Because this is all I could think about after reading #1
   
   

2. Summer Accessories bc this would be Awesome at the beach, and I hear they work great!
   
   
3. Weird food related items items. Not sure I'd be able to actually consume these without vomiting lol.
   
   
4. Id gift this for my daughter, bc she is the ultimate FNAF fan and 6 years old, and it's one of the only 3 she doesn't own for her plush collection.
   
   
5. House of Leavess my ultimate favorite book, and I push it on everyone I know that loves reading. Although intimidating, the format is awesome and original, and mimics the way we Google and use the internet for constant reference. Plus the codes are siiiick.
   
   
6. This is less than a dollar and ADORABLE
   
   
7. This looks like a rad dog toy, whilst simultaneously resembling a sexy toy too lol
   
   
8. This is so expensive and impractical but I would live in this thing!
   
   
9. Vanilla Skywas a movie that really spoke to me as a teenager. If you don't like your reality, change it- just, errrr, mayne not the way Tom Cruise does. Also the mostly Radiohead soundtrack kicks ass.
   
   
10. A katana would obviously trump guns in the zombie apocalypse- you'd eventually run out of bullets, and this baby is the most expensive Amazon's got, so I'd hope youd get quality.
    
    
11. Microsoft Office would help me out. I'm an aspiring writer, but using an offbrand, free version that doesn't work makes writing a nit more tedious and difficult-even spellcheck doesn't work!
    
    
12. Annoying add-on bc a girl can never have too many of these, amirite?
    
    
13. FNAF is as close to fandom as I get. My kid is obsessed, therefore I am obsessed, and I'm not into sports :(
    
    
14. This watch popped up after seeking the most expensive item on Amazon, although it doesn't seem justified lol.
    
    
15. I Chose BOTH a shark & unicorn !
    
    
16. Thierry Mugler Angel smells great- I had to ask a customer what she used bc I wanted to eat her flesh when she walked past me.
    
    
17. Teddy Ruxpin was so 90's- we put our fave cassettes in and hed seemingly sing along
    
    
18. The Artist's Way
    by Julia Cameron is one of my favorite books on creative unblocking for both writers AND artists! I go back to it whenever Im in a slump!
    
    
19. This tote file would be totes cool bc Im obsessed with organizing!
    
    
20. This coloring book about farts? Ridiculous and fun. Id likely make ea fart a different color lol.

I am also moving really soon so I have giant list dedicated to the move, feel free to check it out.


First this is to not for get cleaning supplies or a plunger because they are things you are going to need!


Storage bins and closet organizers are always good for keeping the potential small apartment clean, organized and a bit bigger.


Who wouldn't want to wake up to this awesome alarm clock in their brand new apartment?!

I love this shelf and I think it would be perfect for a small apartment and this beanie bag looks pretty comfy, and would be great if you have friends over to play video games!

Not sure where you live, but they are like $70 for a decent 1 person.

Here's a 3-to-4-person one (8 footer) the size of a couch for $299 on amazon:

3' by 3' below for like $37.

Where are you shopping for fucking bean bags at? Best Buy?

For $400 you can get a very nice name brand recliner... screw a bean bag.

This recliner is $360 and punches beanbags in the face:

And that was after about 12 seconds of surfing for one.

for years i've struggled with sleeping problems. i hated resorting to medication because when i do sleep, it tends to be very deep sleep, almost nothing wakes me until my body decides that it is time. about a year ago i bought one of those giant bean bag things (comfort research on amazon, i'm not linking because i don't do referral stuff). I bought a 7 foot model (i'm a few inches above 6 feet) just for you know, a comfortable place to play video games. To my surprise, when I got this and set it up, all of my sleep problems instantly vanished. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but i doubt it. I'm slightly afraid of it, to be honest, at night I can never last more than 5 minutes without falling asleep. Its been a year now and the changes are amazing. I've had fewer episodes, my sleep schedule is borderline healthy and 'normal', my back pains (from an old car accident) rarely flare up, and when i wake up in the morning i am refreshed and energetic. I can't praise enough the changes that a new sleeping surface have made in my life. This particular solution might not be right for everyone, but i would strongly suggest at least experimenting with different mattresses, materials, etc. Healthy sleep and the right positions can make so much difference in our lives.

If you want to see what I'm talking about. If your insurance covers it, maybe this would help, too

This has some good ideas of how to "Adulting So Hard"...

So here's my suggestions:

• This
  
• This
  
• And this
  
  
  ...and here are my actual suggestions:
  
  
• Toilet Brush
  
• Bin
  
• Chopping board
  
• Kettle
  
• Can Opener
  
• Measuring Jug
  
• Oven gloves
  
• Bottle opener (Very important for drinks and wine ;] )
  
• Smoke Alarm, Fire Extinguisher & Fire Blanket So you don't die.
  
• Torch When the lights go out.
  
• Clothesline
  
  Good luck with the house! :D
  

Some bigass bean bags. Like this.

A glass cabinet to show off peices. Some beaded door curtains maybe. Here is what i am getting for my room.

Just going off my own plans. Definitely a nice tv and some good sound for ENTertainment.

From each list?

On my wishlist for basic home needs/wants the highest priority is This mp3 player. My kids enjoy falling asleep to music, I find it helps my two year old sleep longer our five year old mp3 player finally died.

Books list my highest is this book, I am obsessed with the series and this is the next one I need I am going nuts not being able to read it.

The kids wishlist the highest is a bean bag chair for my two year old son, he loves the one his uncle has but I haven't been able to find any in our area for a decent price.

Makeup list highest because it helps me look good lol.
Nail polish highest my nails are overly weak right now and hurt I am hoping this would help.
Movies highest because it is hilarious.

You could always go with a huge bean bag. I have this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Cozy-Sack-6-Feet-Chair-Large/dp/B0064SYZDK/

You need to flip it every few days, but it's INSANELY comfortable, and really good for reading. It's filled with strips of soft foam material.

Search for Cozy Sac on Amazon. These are the 6' bags but the make them from 4 - 8 ft. Not to sound like an ad, but they are awesome. Better than any couch I've ever owned.

http://www.amazon.com/6-feet-X-large-Earth-Cozy-Sac/dp/B00139XMFC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1333940552&sr=8-2

Something I have! Or a smaller version at least. /u/Checkheck says this is the "Chill Bag"

Name: "Chill Bag"

$366

Product Link:
https://www.amazon.com/Chill-Bag-Bean-8-Feet-Charcoal/dp/B00P21UAHK/

Important to note this is filled with shredded foam, not small beads like many bean bags!

---
The one I have is from Lovesac, so this is one I can personally recommend. Quality is pretty nice and the variety of fabric styles is much more diverse than the Amazon one.

Here's a video of their largest size of bag:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgyG1ka3rhk

(It's $1,300 and way too big unless you live in a warehouse.)

Oh man! My friend just got one of these to go in his room. I spent so long in it last weekend! So many different positions you can sit/lie in, and so so comfy! Definitely fucking awesome!

I second the hammocks other people mentioned. I have two and they store soooo much more than I expected.

I'll also add an empty storage bean bag, like this. Stores tons of stuffies if you get a big one, and you get a cute bean bag seat thing out of it! mine is this grey one with stars, but if you look around on amazon, there are tons of different patterns and colors. here's a really cute floral one that I might get sometime in the future.

When I turned 30, I got myself a 7' beanbag couch. I love it. It was a little expensive, but I just love me that much.

I'm saving up to buy the twin mattress topper and the full mattress topper on my Household Wishlist. My mattress sucks and my daughter's mattress sucks and we want to be comfortable but we really can't afford new mattresses right now. It's a crime how expensive mattresses are!! lol

The other thing I'm saving up for isn't really a need but I would love it. It's on my Reading Nook/Comfort zone wishlist because I want to create my own little zone in my room. lol It's this and it looks so amazingly comfortable! I think if I had it, I would lay in it forever.

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this.

Comfort research 8ft bean bags $250 on amazon! They are awesome!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0055DXL30/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502843159&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=comfort+research&dpPl=1&dpID=41WvG7sTkSL&ref=plSrch

These chairs would be great for sitting for an hour or two. But TRUST me..Conference Chairs are NOT meant to be sat in for 40 hours a week.

My vote? The giant cheeseburger chair: http://www.amazon.com/Wow-Works-Hamburger-Adult-Beanbag/dp/B00BYV0I06

I bought a 7 foot long bean bag chair/couch thing!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055DXL30/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

I sat on a lovesac (Maybe a fake one) at a friends friends house once and thought it was pretty cool so I'm hoping this is simiar.

I bought mine from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lounge-Pug-GIANT-MAMMOTH-Beanbag/dp/B00LB69LHA?ref_=bl_dp_s_web_5072758031

It is really messy putting the filler into it though and there is no inner bag making it impossible to wash. I ended up buying some separate netting so I can wash mine, but it makes it a little lumpy. You might be able to find better elsewhere, but it is still pretty comfy.

I men there's things like this but I don't think they're ever as comfortable as they look.

i got one of these was a big sale on them last year got the 6ft one for $100 https://www.amazon.com/Cozy-Sack-6-Feet-Chair-Large/dp/B00139XMFC

i figured it's still probably months off till we get one of the wireless solutions Valve has been helping create so if I can get a few months of use on it it's worth it.

I bought bean bag filler to put in mine, got it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Research-UltimaX-Refill-Liters/dp/B0055DXQS0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1457803485&sr=8-3&keywords=big+joe+bean+bag+chair+refill
I have to add more every few months as the beans get "squished". It's very comfortable!

That is why I've wanted this for long. My dad and step-mom have them in their basement and OMG super comfy!

Not positive, but probably this.

I never take it off, though, because I do really want it for some unexplainable reason.

I just added this though and it's slightly pricier and in the same vein.

I like being comfy. Now I'm on an expensive comfy chair adding spree.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055DXLAI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_zlYjzbWY07EKG

Something in that ball park lol

You clearly haven't seen this 6 foot bean bag chair.

I read that using a big box and one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Research-UltimaX-Refill-Liters/dp/B0055DXQS0

is the best way, personally I haven't tried it, but I probably will once I move, along with ziplock bags.

Like this.

That's why I like this thing.

[LOUNGE PUG] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LB69LHA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wAefzb2ZRZJ14) is the biggest I could find tbh.

And that's still not big enough. We need like a King Size bed sized one that's full to the brim.

Not op but found this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0055DXL30/ref=psdcmw_14109891_t3_B0085ZQ3FS
