Comfy Sacks vs. Jaxx: Which is the Best Family Bean Bag Chair?

Evolve — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:00:37 +0000

In the past several years, the standard of bean bag chairs has been completely revolutionized. No longer are people settling for the saggy, bead-filled chairs that we once knew. Instead, foam furniture like Comfy Sacks has transformed into the ultimate spot for relaxation.

Comfy Sacks is a brand that continues to raise the bar when it comes to quality. For this reason, we have thousands of satisfied customers, including those who have been happily using their Comfy Sacks for years. Other brands, specifically Jaxx, try to market seemingly comparable products. The difference between Comfy Sacks and Jaxx sacks, however, is that our bean bag chairs are made to last. We don’t take any shortcuts and we certainly don’t sell products that won’t do what we claim them to do. Each Comfy Sack we sell comes with a three-year “no hassle” warranty. This is our way of proving our faith in these products. Jaxx protects its sacks for just one year – and even then, only the workmanship is covered. Comfy Sacks, meanwhile, are sold with the promise of providing you, your friends, your family, and even your pets with comfort for years to come. Our products have been put through various tests time and again; just a couple of months ago, we actually ran over one with a 57-ton battle tank! In fact, we recorded the whole thing (and you can watch it here).

Why are we so confident in our products? Simply put, it’s because the materials we use are durable. Jaxx, on the other hand, uses cheap, thin liners that are prone to tearing. By the time you realize that your Jaxx sack is leaking foam pieces, the warranty will have expired. Customers who purchase luxury bean bag furniture are investing in comfort; their purchases should be expected to last far longer than just a year.

Another way we make our customers satisfied is by delivering pre-assembled Comfy Sacks. To save space, the foam is condensed and already situated inside the liner. Jaxx makes its customers assemble the sacks themselves. The foam comes packaged in plastic that customers have to slice open and dump into the liners. It’s a messy process, and we think our customers shouldn’t have to deal with it.

If you’re still deciding between Comfy Sacks and Jaxx, we encourage you to read the testimonials from our customers around the nation. Whether individuals, families, or corporations, Comfy Sacks takes pride in providing our customers with quality products at a price that simply can’t be matched!

Testimonial from Zazzle

Evolve — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:00:01 +0000

While many of our Comfy Sacks dwell in dorms, basements, media centers, and even living rooms, they are also prevalent in the workplace. Sometimes employees need a comfy place to crash during their break. Placing a few Comfy Sacks in the common area adds a fun, casual element to the office and offers employees an invitation to relax when they need to clear their heads.

One particular corporation recently bought a load of Comfy Sacks for its headquarters. This company, Zazzle, is known for its online customization of various products, from tee shirts to coffee mugs. The Zazzle brand strives to create a down-to-earth, inviting work environment as a means of encouraging employee satisfaction and devotion. Now that Zazzle is supplied with Comfy Sacks, employees have spaces to use as casual meeting spots, workstations, and just about any purpose.

How does Zazzle like the new additions to the office? Read the employees’ testimonial:

We searched high and low for the perfect solution to complement our unique office space, and I’m very happy to report that our Comfy Sacks have exceeded our expectations. The construction quality, attention to detail and outstanding customer service have made us true believers. Adding them to our office has single-handedly revolutionized our ability to create small, comfortable and most importantly, mobile conversation areas. We’ve even had employees purchase them for home use. We’re all huge fans!

Zazzle isn’t the only company that has invested in Comfy Sacks for the office. We’ve also had orders from Apple, Amazon, Groupon, and more! If your company is interested in purchasing Comfy Sacks, look at the options available on our website. We’ll even ship you free fabric samples to help you decide which color and texture will work best in your office.

Comfy Sacks is the Better Bean Bag Chair

With the prevalence of the Internet, shopping has never been easier. It only takes a few clicks and a bit of patience in order to research various products and brands. Comfy Sacks has tried to make this process easier for you by offering comparison pages of our biggest competitors. Monster Sak, for instance, is a brand that some customers consider when choosing bean bag furniture. What they quickly realize, however, is that Monster Sak can’t compare to the Comfy Sacks brand in terms of quality and selection.

For starters, Monster Saks are only available in three sizes: 5-foot, 6-foot, and 8-foot sacks. Unlike Comfy Sacks’ selection, which includes more than 10 sizes and shapes, Monster Sak fails to deliver a plethora of options to its customers. The brand as a whole is hardly accommodating to its customers’ individual needs, and we feel like that is unacceptable. In addition to the poor assortment of sizes, Monster Sak also fails to offer a diverse color palette. It’s more expansive than a few other brands, but the range is far from impressive – especially when compared to the selection of fabrics and colors of Comfy Sacks covers. We even send free fabric samples to anyone who requests them. That way you’ll know exactly what your future Comfy Sack will look and feel like in your own home.

Another reason Monster Saks pale in comparison to Comfy Sacks is that their covers are filled with a “Monster Mix” of foam and cotton. They claim that this blend is actually more comfortable than the foam by itself. We call their bluff. Cotton isn’t sturdy enough to support the body weight. Pure polyurethane foam, however, provides the perfect balance of comfort and support.

Finally, each Comfy Sack is proudly shipped with a 3-year “no hassle” warranty. To put it simply, if there’s something wrong, we’ll take care of it! No questions asked. Not many bean bag brands even come close to that kind of guarantee, but then again, Comfy Sacks is hardly an ordinary brand.

Accommodating the Needs of Autistic Children

Evolve — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 14:00:49 +0000

Autism is an increasingly prevalent disability; statistics have revealed a staggering surge in the number of children that are diagnosed every year. Parents, meanwhile, are left feeling helpless and uncertain of how to support their children in coping with this untreatable condition.

As a parent, you want your child to feel content and happy in your home environment. Unfortunately, many parents of autistic children have a difficult time accomplishing this. Typical symptoms of Autism include rocking and fidgeting, which makes traditional furniture often awkward and unaccommodating.

There is no failsafe solution for alleviating your child’s symptoms; however, many parents are discovering that they can create a more comfortable home atmosphere for their autistic child by supplementing their current furniture collection with what we call “adaptive furniture.” These products, which include Comfy Sacks products, are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and are typically much larger than standard sofas or recliners.

Comfy Sacks – filled with shredded memory foam – are able to provide contentment to autistic children because their unique design enables them to conform to the body shape of whoever is occupying the product. For you, it might just mean a luxurious relaxation spot. For an autistic child, however, the experience transcends the feeling of comfort; a Comfy Sack provides a much-needed sense of security.

Whether sleeping, watching television, eating, or relaxing, autistic kids deserve to feel comfortable – not just on the surface, but within as well. Comfy Sacks’ tendency to “surround” a child with a cozy pressure eases the stress for both the child and parents.

Possibly the greatest advantage of Comfy Sacks furniture is that our products delight the whole family! No one can resist the plush sacks and loungers. Parents appreciate that Comfy Sacks’ covers are machine washable and available in several varieties of textures and colors. Home furniture should be so much more than just a solution for seating needs. It should transform your living space into a comfortable surrounding that your whole family will cherish.

Comfy Gift Ideas

Evolve — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:31:13 +0000

Every year, the holiday season seems to start earlier, the sales are more competitive, and the shopping lists grow longer. As a parent, it can be exhausting to know what to buy for your family, especially if you already seem to have everything. This post dishes out some of the ways that Comfy Sacks can provide what you need this year. If you are part of a family, there is a good chance that one of these scenarios will apply to you:

A gift for the whole family:
Comfy Sacks is all about supporting family togetherness. The holiday season is such a special time because it provides relatives with an opportunity to give presents, eat lots of savory food, and simply enjoy each other’s company. Sometimes the best gifts are those that can be shared, which is why many of our customers invest in an 8-foot Comfy Sack for their basement or media room. This provides the whole family with a space to relax (it can fit up to 7 people!) Movie night will never be more comfortable than it is when sharing a ginormous Comfy Sack!

A gift for the kid who already has everything:
Whether he is your grandchild, nephew, or own offspring, it can sometimes be difficult to buy gifts for the kid who already seems to have everything. If not chosen wisely, the new presents will soon be carelessly tossed into the corner of the playroom. Why not consider buying the boy or girl in your life a product that is guaranteed to last for years to come? The 5-foot Comfy Sack is a fantastic choice when it comes to providing durable, cost-efficient comfort. Additionally, your child won’t grow out of this product. Rather, as kids age into young adults, they begin to appreciate the art of relaxation even more. Whether she treats it as a quiet reading nook or he uses it as a gaming chair, the Comfy Sack you buy will be treasured and most of all, used!

A gift for the deserving family pet:
Maybe you are seeking a luxurious bed for the special four-legged being in your life. If anyone deserves a soft place to lie, it is the family dog or cat. When you’re away, they anxiously await your return; once you arrive home, they work hard to shower you with as much love as possible. Pets love Comfy Sacks products. In fact, even if you don’t purchase one that is specifically designated for the family pet, we can pretty much guarantee that Fido will make room for himself. Comfy Sacks even have removable covers, which means you can conveniently toss a dirty cover in the washing machine. This season, surprise your furry comrade with the gift of a 3.5-foot Comfy Sack. After all, they are more than animals. Our dogs and cats are family members.

Hopefully this post has given you some ideas for holiday shopping. Although this time of year can lead to congested delivery schedules, Comfy Sacks offers a QuickShip option that will guarantee your products to be shipped from our warehouse within 2 days. We call that the gift of reassurance. Happy holidays from all of us at Comfy Sacks!

Comfy Sacks Shows the Love

Evolve — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:05:22 +0000

We at Comfy Sacks are extremely grateful for our fans on Facebook. Even during the unpleasant state of this economy, we have thousands of individuals supporting Comfy Sacks on our social media channels. To return the love, Comfy Sacks likes to initiate fun giveaways at least once a month.

If you’ll recall, October featured a unique opportunity for our Facebook fans to guess how many pieces of candy corn could fit in one of our products! The guesses poured in and one lucky lady won a “Halloween Sweets and Treats” gift package.

Last month we went where no bean bag chair company has ever dared to venture. We first asked our fans to provide us with creative ways to test the durability of our products. From those answers, we compiled a Facebook poll and asked our fans to vote (and be entered to win a 3.5-foot Comfy Sack). While it was a close race, the challenge that won the most votes was to run over a Comfy Sack with a tank. That’s right, a battle tank! Needless to say, Comfy Sacks had a very busy weekend because we were busy putting our products to the ultimate test. The hard work paid off because that Monday, we were proud to reveal to our fans video footage of a REAL battle tank running over a Comfy Sack! As promised, one of the voters (Travis Wisely) won a 3.5-foot Comfy Sack chair.

On Cyber Monday, a few Comfy Sacks staff members were working late when they decided to keep the promotion momentum flowing. Comfy Sacks asked its Facebook fans to guess how much the battle tank (shown in the video) weighs. After 200 submissions, we announced the winner on Facebook. Theresa Fitzmayer had the closest estimate, guessing 56 tons (the tank actually weighed 56.2 tons). She will receive one of our soon-to-premiere products, a Comfy Sacks ultra cozy blanket. This promotion was just in time for the long stretch of brutal winter nights. You haven’t experienced genuine comfort until you have paired a Comfy Sack with this warm throw. Congratulations Theresa!

Thank you to all of our Facebook fans. We always appreciate customer support and feedback, including photos and verbal testimonials. If you’re not a fan yet, head over to our Facebook page and jump into the conversation!

Home Theater Design: Efficiency on a Budget

Evolve — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:45:18 +0000

Every family dreams of having a home theater. And not just a flat screen television with booming audio. The whole point of investing in a home theater is to provide your friends and loved ones with a cozy, comfortable space that enhances the experience of watching movies.

Unfortunately, transforming a space into a room devoted entirely to popcorn and films can be incredibly expensive. This post is devoted entirely to creating an efficient space on a budget. That way you can reach your dreams without breaking the bank.

Our first piece of advice is to do research. It’s nearly impossibly to find deals in-store that beat online prices. Many e-commerce stores offer discounted rates on the product itself, along with minimal rates for shipping and even taxes in some cases. Shopping online also provides buyers with the ability to instantly compare prices instead of driving from physical store to store. On these sites, there are often customer reviews. At Comfy Sacks we hold client testimonials in the highest regard because we know that the unbiased opinions of customers can sway potential buyers better than we ever could.

Now that you’re open to researching and buying online, consider opting for an HGTV projector instead of a television. A home theater system demands incredible picture quality- and projectors can offer that. Who needs a 60” flat screen when you can opt for a 100-inch picture at a fraction of the cost?

Audio is also extremely important when designing a home theater. Even on a budget, it’s still important to ensure that the sound feels comparable to that of a movie theater. To maximize the audio without using a top-notch, multi-thousand dollar system is to consider insulating the walls with soundboard or additional sheets of drywall. Not only will that heighten the quality of the sound within the room, it will also contain the acoustics, thus preventing those outside the movie to be disturbed.

Last but not least, make sure you are making smart decisions when it comes to choosing furniture. So often people spend thousands on bulky recliners that only seat one person each. While those chairs might be cozy, they’re not cheap or roomy- and before you know it, your budget is maxed out on four chairs. Comfy Sacks are a perfect solution to home theater seating. The variety of sizes, shapes, and fabrics allows you to personalize your selection to fit the style of your family and home. Also, placing a few 6-foot sacks into a home theater room will provide spacious seating for at least 6 adults. As for kids, well the Comfy Sacks could probably fit around 12.

There you have it: a compilation of cost-efficient tips to designing your home theater. Hopefully following this guide will allow you to plan carefully and stay within budget. Don’t forget the popcorn!

Comfy Sacks Unite Families

Evolve — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:49:14 +0000

A house is so much more than a structure. It’s a home. It’s a sanctuary of security, and a place where families make memories. For many households, the best part of the house is the media room- a cozy space for watching movies, playing games, and catching up on each other’s lives.

We’re big on comfort. That’s why we made it a part of our name. The products we sell are comfortable, not just because they feel good to sit on, but because they generate stability. By that, we mean that a Comfy Sack is a reliable space that encapsulates relaxation. No matter what curveballs you’ve had to hit throughout the week, your Comfy Sack will always be a reservation of rationality.

Families associate Comfy Sacks with the best of times. Whether it is munching on popcorn during the opening credits of an anticipated movie, unwrapping presents on Christmas morning, or racing to the finish line in a video game, the memories created on a Comfy Sack are perpetual and powerful.

Many of our customers share stories about how they use Comfy Sacks as a cozy means of connecting with their kids. Parents especially love reading books together. Small children can snuggle up as their parents turn the pages of a favorite picture book. Older children can practice their skills by reading aloud to their parents. This month features National Young Reader’s Day, which should be celebrated in style. Take your family to the library and encourage everyone to pick out a couple short stories to read that night. Make it a family reading event. If everyone enjoys himself or herself, consider initiating a weekly outing to the library.

We love hearing about family camaraderie. Feel free to submit pictures or stories of you and your clan enjoying each other’s presence on a Comfy Sack!

Comfy Sack Giveaways

Evolve — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:48:04 +0000

We always appreciate the support and enthusiasm from our fans, both current and future owners of Comfy Sacks. Last week we initiated a fun October promotion for our fans on Facebook. We filled a 6-foot Comfy Sack with candy corn and asked everyone to guess the number of pieces. Anyone who came closest to the number would receive a special “Halloween Sweets and Treats” package delivered to his or her door.

The response was overwhelming! Nearly 250 people offered estimates, some even guessing that we had more than 9 million pieces! In reality, it actually took under one million pieces. 883,021 to be exact. Our staff had one heck of a time counting the pieces. Once packed with the candy corn, the sack weighed 3,470 pounds! A lucky lady by the name of Jenilee won with her guess of 838, 452.

This month we are doing something totally off-the-wall. If you head to our Facebook page, you’ll see that there is a competition in the works. We had previously asked our fans, “How can we prove to you that Comfy Sacks are totally indestructible?” From the feedback, we created a poll with several possibilities. Choose between “throw it off a roof, drive over it with a car, run over it with a tank, put it in a preschool classroom for a week, and have it attacked by a sumo wrestler.”

It’s up to our Facebook fans to determine how far we’ll go to prove that a Comfy Sack is the ultimate furniture piece. We never back down from a challenge, so the dare that wins is definitely going to be fulfilled. Here’s the best part: we’re giving away a FREE Comfy Sack to one lucky voter. If you want to choose what kind of damage we can do, and if you want to be eligible to win a Comfy Sack of your own, head over to Facebook to cast your vote!

Peace of mind for the injured.

Comfy Sacks aren’t just comfortable. They’re quite flawless. Each product acts as a giant piece of foam, contouring to the natural shape of your body. This eliminates pain from sitting or lying for long periods of time. To those with chronic back pain, Comfy Sacks are a welcome relief from achiness and sore muscles. Even more, they’re transportable. You can move our beanbag products from one room to the next, depending on where you need them.

Comfy Sacks believes that our products are more than just a fashion statement or one of many ways to fill a space. Our products provide refreshing advances in interior enrichment. We’re not making Comfy Sacks out to be some magical throne. They’re not all-powerful. But how many times during the week do you come home from a long day at work, simply needing a place to sit and briefly lose yourself in a moment? Comfy Sacks wants to provide you with a haven of rest. There’s something about our products that a couch, chair, or bed cannot provide. Sinking into a Comfy Sack releases tension that has built up throughout the day.

Whether you are resting from a long distance run, dealing with a stiff back, recovering from a surgery, or just concluding a long, stressful day, Comfy Sacks are the one piece of furniture that will support your body and aid your restoration.
