If you’re looking to buy bean bags, quality is key. The last thing you want is your bean bag exploding and sending tiny white beans all over the floor! A quality bean bag is one that can survive kids jumping on it, that won’t burst and won’t deteriorate under the sun and one that can withstand everyday use with ease. So what makes a quality bean bag? Read on for our helpful hints.
Materials
The quality of a bean bag is first determined by the materials used to make it. As bean bags take a lot of pressure on their seams through the bean filling constantly moving around, the fabric stitch lines are the most likely place for splits to occur. Regardless of what your bean bag is made of, if it’s not sewn together well it’s unlikely to last. Generally, stain-resistant upholstery or furniture-grade fabrics are a durable choice.
Thread
A bean bag’s thread needs to be sewn tightly. Double-stitched bean bags are a great choice, as they have stronger seams making them more durable. While you might be tempted to buy an outdoor bean bag because you think it’s more likely to last, if the thread used to sew the bag together isn’t UV-resistant it will end up deteriorating over time.Care
The material and manufacture of your bag will impact how it’s washed. Some bags have covers that can easily be removed and cleaned, meaning your bag won’t be damaged, while vinyl bags are waterproof and safe to clean from time to time.
Filling
The quality of your filling is also crucial, especially if you have kids. A bead bean or polystyrene bead filling could be hazardous for little ones. Instead, try to find a filling made of recyclable materials, wood shavings, or eco-friendly foam.
