Assembling Your Comfy Sacks Bean Bag Chair

Your Comfy Sack will arrive via Fedex Ground in a cardboard box or several cardboard boxes depending on the size of your product.

*For the 8 ft Sack and 7 ft Sack (not 7.5 ft Lounger) please read the additional assembly notes at the bottom of the screen.

  1. Remove the cover and liner (filled with foam) from the box(es)
  2. Keep the liner closed while you break apart the large chunks of foam. This will get oxygen to the foam which helps the foam expand back to it’s original shape. (The foam is already shredded so you don’t need to manually rip the foam apart but simply release it from its compressed state)
  3. Massage the foam to ensure all large chunks are completely broken apart. Take your designer cover and match the seams of the cover and the liner and enjoy! It will take several days to a full week for your Comfy Sack to expand to it’s full size.

All our liners (not covers) have locking zippers that are used for safety reasons. The liner zipper does not have a pull tab on the zipper for this reason. If you would like open the liner to access the foam, simply insert a paper clip into the zipper to disengage the safety locking mechanism. The liner zipper can always move forward (to close the liner) but in order to open the liner you must have the zipper disengaged using a paper clip.

Many customers have found it very helpful to simply remove the product from the box and let it sit for a full day without breaking up the foam. This allows the foam some time to start the expansion process on it’s own so you don’t have do all the work! Depending on how long the foam has been compressed, the foam may need some help to get the expansion process started. To expedite the expansion process make sure the foam is broken down into golf ball size pieces and for the first week rotate and fluff once or twice a day. While this process may sound complicated, it is both fun and not difficult to do.

Above all enjoy your Comfy Sack!

* For the 8 ft Sack and 7 ft Sack (not 7.5 ft lounger) the products require some assembly. Due to the very large size of these products we are not able to ship the items prefilled because they exceed FedEx’s weight and box size restrictions. The 7 ft Sack will come with two 50 lb pods of foam and the 8 ft Sack will come with three 50 lb pods of foam. Simply place the pods of foam inside the liner and remove/discard the plastic that is keeping the foam compressed. Make sure to zip up the liner after putting the foam inside because it will start to expand on its own once it is outside the plastic. (the liners do not have pull tabs for safety reasons however the zippers will still close without disengaging the zipper) After this is complete, please follow the directions above for getting your sack fluffed up.

Bean Bag Chairs Help Kids With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by a wide range of developmental disorders.  It affects as many as 1 out of every 150 children.  Parents of children with autism can employ many different strategies to help improve their child’s behavior and mood.  One way of helping to treat a child with autism or with other intellectual disabilities is to make use of a bean bag chair.  A bean bag chair is soft, comfortable, and is able to apply equal press across your child’s whole body.  This can help to calm a child down when they begin to show signs of aggression or may consider harming them self or others.  A bean bag chair can also be used as an exercise aid.
