Regardless of which one a sufferer is inflicted with, all share many common traits. However, often overlooked, is their need to feel safe. Autistic children possess a strong desire to be alone, to do tasks by themselves. Keeping company with no one offers them a position of safety. A disorder present in 1 of every 150 children demands heavy research in regards to easing the child’s discomfort.

When searching for a low cost option to help the autistic sufferer’s desire to feel safe, one should consider the option of bean bag chairs. Bean bag chairs offer an environment of security, with or without the presence of others. This sense of safety is of great importance for autistic children who are known for fits of rage as it calms them, lessening the chance of any violent occurrences to either themselves or others.

There have been many studies done to determine the effect of various colors on peoples’ behavior. Colors such as light blue and lighter tans are known to provide a more relaxing elementary level classroom. In adhering to knowledge gained through these studies, the usage of blue suede would surely suffice. There is synthetic suede that is produced from microfiber, a material known to be soft to the touch, durable, less expensive, and easier to sew than actual suede.

Decisions other than which color and material to use are also prevalent in the bean bag chair’s purchaser. Sizes vary from three feet to as high as eight feet in height. The size of the bean bag chair is obviously relevant to size of the child.

Bean bag chairs provide more than just a piece of furniture for an autistic child; they can also be used as an exercise tool. By picking up the bean bag chair and moving it about. Autistic children have been often seen as methodically moving toys, such as trains in a particular order. The bean bag chair allows them to carry more weight safely which is extremely important in maintaining the child’s motor skills. This exercise clearly illustrates the need to select the proper size and weight for you child. One should take caution as to choose a bean bag chair that is not too heavy or cumbersome.

Once one of our Comfy Sacks bean bag chairs is delivered to your door, you may ask yourself how the contents of the box is going to turn into your new beanbag chair.  Well, with these simple and easy steps you’ll be able to start relaxing in your new Comfy Sack in no time.

First:  You’ll want to make sure to unpack the box.  Be sure to remove everything.  Inside you should fine the cover, liner, and capsules containing our special Comfy Sacks foam.

Then:  Open the package for the liner and spread it along the floor preferably in the room where your bean bag chair is going to stay.  Place the capsules into the liner.

Then:  Close the liner using the zipper.  Place the cover around the bean bag chair and start breaking up the foam in the liner.  You should not have to use too much force and be careful not to rip the liner.

COMFY TIP: Many customers have found it very helpful to let the foam pods sit (with the plastic removed) inside the liner for a full day without breaking up the foam. This allows the foam some time to start the expansion process on its own so YOU don’t have to do all the work!

Then:  Over the next few days the bean bag chair will begin to grow as oxygen get in between all of the pieces of foam.  This is a natural part of the process and is what helps to make our Comfy Sacks so comfortable.  This could take up to a week, but if you want to speed the process up feel free to rotate and fluff the sack a couple times a day for the first week to get oxygen to the foam which allows it to expand.

That’s it!

Once this process has completed your Comfy Sack is ready to enjoy.
