I'm packing for a cross-country move, and I wanted to get rid of my big old smelly couch before moving day, but I needed something else to lounge on until then. It's been many years since I owned a bean bag, but I figured a relatively cheap one ($100 max) could hold me over and maybe find a home in a little nook in my new house.
The problem was, like so many products on here these days, there were SO many options - and the vast majority are white label products from random brand names that have maybe a 90-day company history. I spent an hour searching through legendary household names like NUTBURP and DR.DUDU only to conclude that anything under $100 was probably going to be a disappointment.
Eventually I narrowed in on this guy (found a "Used - Like New" warehouse deal just a hair under my budget limit), but my expectations still weren't super high. I was picturing something like the bean bags of yore, less than half full of loud styrofoam beads and covered in cheap smelly vinyl.
But holy cow - was I wrong! This thing is quite a beefer. Nice and heavy so it doesn't shift when I sit on it, soft and plush, MEGA supportive so I don't sink too deeply into it (honestly I barely do at all, even at 6'2", 230 lbs.), silent when I shift around, and it looks great and doesn't stink. There's literally nothing to complain about.
On day one, I unpacked it and let it expand, then sunk in to give it a whirl. Snap of the fingers, I wake up in the evening six hours later with two cats on my face. One of them I don't even know. I think it worked.
Speaking of cats, I can't keep the little dudes away from it. I have to herd them up every time I want to sit on it. It's by far their favorite spot in the house now.
This is honestly the best purchase I've made in a long while, and next to my memory foam mattress, possibly the best piece of furniture I've ever bought. It's that good. I find it to be perfectly supportive and extremely comfortable, and while my wife liked it but commented it was "a bit too soft," you should know that she'd sleep on a lumpy pile of lava rocks if it were socially acceptable.
It's also bigger than I was expecting. It matches the listed dimensions exactly, but still looks larger in person than I thought it would. There's not room for two adults to sit comfortably, but even for a large guy like myself, it's plenty big.
I plan to get a lot of years out of this thing, wear it out, then buy another. It's great. You should buy one.

A few things to know:
- I have a huge living room so the large size isn't an issue for me. It fits into a loveseat-sized gap between my couch and chair whether I set it down lengthwise or on its end. Might be a tight squeeze in smaller rooms.
- The stuffing inside is a bit lumpy. It doesn't bother my body but sometimes it bothers my head. When that happens, I just shift the filling a little or grab a pillow.
- I find myself "resetting" it every 3-5 days. I roll it around the living room until it's fluffed then put it back into place and enjoy making just the right body-shaped dent by doing a serious flop onto it (fun!)
- I don't find it too heavy to roll around the room when I want to fluff it or clear the room to vacuum and I am not especially strong.
- Lately, I am really liking standing it on its end. When I use it lengthwise I'll end up on the floor after the foam redistributes and compresses. Standing it on its side allows you to sit higher for longer. The only disadvantage of "portrait orientation" is that there's a lot of extra cover material to contend with but it's no lumpier than the filling.
- When I do set it down lengthwise, it's big enough for two people and not all up in each other's grill but side by side not touching.
- If you have a lot of random people coming through your living room, they're going to flop on it and ruin your perfectly shaped dent, but then you can just fluff it up again. Or tell them "no touchie."
- I suppose it's not going to fit in with all styles of decor. It definitely brings a cozy, casual vibe to a room. To me, that's a plus!
Overall, this is a great piece of furniture at an amazing price and much more comfortable than a couch or even a bed!
