CordaRoy’s Bean Bag Review: Every Dad (and kid!) needs this bean bag

Since the 1960s, kids and families have delighted in the bean bag.

There’s definitely a cool factor that comes with owning a bean bag. When I was a kid, someone in my family owned one (can’t remember if it was my Grandparents or Aunt/Uncle) and that soft styrofoam-bead-filled-bag brought me, my brother, and cousins great joy.

Today, bean bags have evolved — for the better! Not only is the foam made of safer material, but they’re softer and bigger. They hold their shape much better over time, and get this — some even convert into beds!

Cue the CordaRoy’s Bean Bag Chair.

Not only is the foam third-party certified for safety, you can unzip the cover and the stuffing inside converts into a bed. Much, much different the bean bags I grew up with!

Pros and Cons

What I Liked

1. Versatile and Comfortable: I love the versatility to convert the bean bag into a bed when needed. It molds well to both adults and kids and provides excellent support for lounging.
2. Foam is Third-party certified: CertiPUR-US certified foam is made without formaldehyde, ozone depleters, prohibited phthalates, heavy metals, and more!
3. Soft and Stylish Fabric: The chenille fabric feels luxurious and stylish (for a bean bag) to the kids’ room. It’s super soft, and I find myself sinking into it every time I sit down.
4. Easy Maintenance: The removable cover is a lifesaver. I can toss it in the washing machine once I start seeing pizza sauce stains!
5. Cool Concept: The idea of a convertible chair and bed is fantastic. It’s unique and a conversation starter when people come over.

What Can Be Improved

1. Conversion from bed > bean bag: I’m nit picking here, but if the bed itself had some arrows/markings to help fold it up and convert back to a bean bag, that’d be awesome.
2. Foam Filling: This really isn’t a con, but if you’re used to the old crunchy styrofoam-bead bean bag, this will feel differently and may take time to get used to.

Features – What I Found

Versatile Convertible Design

One of the standout features of the CordaRoy’s Chenille Bean Bag Chair is its incredible versatility. It’s like having two pieces of furniture in one, allowing me to maximize my space efficiently.

I also appreciate how simple the transformation process is. There’s no complicated mechanism or assembly required; you simply unzip and unfold it! This ease of use is fantastic for anyone who values both convenience and comfort in their home. Whether my kids are lounging during the day, wrestling with Dad, or needing an extra bed at night, this bean bag chair adapts to my needs seamlessly, making it a favorite in my home.

Pro-tip: Whenever you’re ready to convert it into a bed, try to fluff the foam beforehand for an even more comfortable experience. It enhances the sleeping surface significantly!

Queen Size Comfort

The queen size of this bean bag chair is designed with relaxation in mind. You’ll find that its 48″ diameter creates an ample seating area for lounging, reading, or gaming. When you sit back, you can sink into the foam, which feels incredibly supportive. Plus, converting it into a queen-sized bed means you’ll have enough space for two people to sleep comfortably.

Soft Chenille Fabric for Ultimate Comfort

The soft chenille fabric used in the construction of this bean bag chair is a great fit.

Have you ever experienced fabric that feels velvety against your skin? It’s like being enveloped in a warm hug! The dimpled texture not only adds a touch of style but also enhances comfort, making it a delightful place to sit or lie down. This fabric is not only inviting but also durable, which means it holds up well against wear and tear.

What’s great about the chenille fabric is that it’s easy to integrate into various decor styles, from modern to classic. It comes in a rich espresso color that adds a timeless charm to my living space. Plus, it’s breathable, which ensures that you stay comfortable no matter the season.

Easy Maintenance with Removable Cover

One of my favorite aspects of this bean bag chair is the removable and machine-washable cover. There’s nothing worse than having cozy furniture that’s difficult to keep clean, especially with kids and/or pets around. With the CordaRoy’s Chenille Bean Bag Chair, I can easily remove the cover and toss it in the washing machine whenever it needs freshening up. This feature truly takes the hassle out of maintenance, allowing me to enjoy my chair without worrying about spills or stains.

Additionally, the fact that the cover is durable means that it can withstand frequent washing without losing its shape or softness.

Pro-tip: Always follow the washing instructions carefully to ensure your cover stays in great condition for years!

CertiPUR-US Certified Foam for Safety and Comfort

The CordaRoy’s Chenille Bean Bag Chair is filled with CertiPUR-US certified foam, which is a significant feature when considering safety and sustainability. This certification means that the foam is made without harmful chemicals and meets rigorous standards for emissions and durability.

The foam inside a CordaRoy’s Bean Bag is:

• made without formaldehyde
• made without ozone depleters
• made without prohibited phthalates
• made without mercury, lead, and other heavy metals
• low emission (low VOCs)
• screened for relevant chemicals, including flame retardants, that are classified as carcinogens, mutagens or reproductive toxins and are harmful to human health

It’s comforting to know that I’m choosing a product that is not only comfortable but also safe for my family and the environment.

On a scientific level, CertiPUR-US certified foam is designed to provide optimal support while allowing for breathability. This helps maintain a comfortable temperature while I sit or sleep on the bean bag. The foam contours to the body’s shape, reducing pressure points and ensuring a comfortable experience whether I’m gaming, lounging, or taking a nap. It’s a great investment for anyone looking to prioritize comfort and health in their living space.
