The Plattsburgh Public Library in Plattsburg, New York recently added bean bag furniture to their Teen Room to create a comfy, modern space for teens to enjoy their favorite books. As part of the young adult fiction section, bean bags encourage teens to read by providing a lounging area. In the Plattsburg Library Teen Room, young adults can lounge and read or hang out together in comfort.

Many other public libraries across the nation have used bean bags to create comfortable reading areas for kids and adults. Bean bags in libraries create an open, relaxing space where people of all ages can lounge, read or converse. Not only does bean bag furniture create a modern style décor in a public library, but it can encourage reading in children and teens because it provides a place to relax the body and open the mind.

Studies have shown that bean bag furniture helps kids and young adults focus and retain information. This makes bean bag chairs great for schools and libraries that want to encourage learning through reading. The comfort and support of bean bags allows teens to find a comfortable position to read in so that they can focus on reading books instead of getting distracted by uncomfortable chairs.

Bean bags can also encourage creativity because they relax the body so the mind is open to come up with great ideas. The freedom of movement and positioning of the body offered by bean bag chairs also encourages creativity. This makes bean bags a great addition to a teen reading room in a public library.

Bean Bags Are Tax Deductions for Day Cares

April was tax month, and both individuals and businesses were scrambling to get their tax information in order. Many people are looking for ways to save money on their taxes with tax deductions, and small businesses like day cares are no exception. Even if you missed deductions on this year’s taxes, you can begin planning ahead for next year’s by looking for deductions now. There are many great ways for day care centers to get deductions on their taxes while improving their business at the same time.

One way for day cares to save money and improve their environment is to redesign their center for comfort and learning. Child care businesses can also get tax deductions for buying furniture, especially if that furniture also counts as an educational aid. What kind of furniture does that? Bean bags!

Beanbag furniture is one of the great hidden tax deductions for child care businesses like day cares or private schools because not only do bean bags provide great places for children to lounge and read, but they are also proven to promote creative thinking and learning. Children love the squishy but supportive texture, and the relaxation this furniture offers lets children relax and open their minds.

As part of a reading area, beanbag chairs can let children find the perfect comfortable position to read in, and they will be encouraged to read more. Bean bags can also provide a great place for kids to watch movies. If you have children who fight nap time, you can get bean bag chairs to make nap time enjoyable.

Thanks Mail Carrier is a blog that reviews all sorts of products that can be “delivered right to your door,” including home improvement and décor items. Head blogger and mom recently reviewed a 6 Foot Comfy Sack as part of the Comfy Sacks giveaway. She blogged about the old bean bag chairs she remembered from her childhood and how happy she was with the modern comfort and washable cover of modern bean bag furniture.

In the blog, she described the incredible way the Comfy Sacks are delivered. The huge bean bag furniture was vacuum packed into a 68 pound package. Once removed from the package, the foam inside the bean bag expands to its full size. While Comfy Sacks warns that their bean bag furniture can take between 48 hours and a week to reach its full size, the Thanks Mail Carrier blogger was pleasantly surprised to find hers had expanded in a few hours.

All in all, the blogger and her family were very happy with their Comfy Sack. “Whether you put it in your home theater, living room, bedroom or any place where family and friends want to relax and enjoy it, this really is the perfect couch for lounging, a place for the whole family to watch a movie, a bed for a cozy nap or just a really unique chair for hanging out or playing video games,” said Thanks Mail Carrier blogger Xenia.

In an article titled “Living Life to the Fullest,” Victoria Remback of the McHenry County Magazine reported on how a local family with an autistic child uses bean bag chairs every day to relax and focus at school and home. Studies have shown that children with autism spectrum disorders can benefit from sensory therapy using bean bags, and parents of autistic children agree. “His brain is always going, and sense is a huge thing for Bryce,” Christine Selof, mother of a 10 year old boy with autism says. “So sitting on a bean bag chair or playing with rubber bands at his desk with his feet help to calm him.”

Her son, Bryce, is lucky to be in a program at his elementary school that recognizes his sensory needs. The Greenwood Elementary School provided Bryce and other children with beanbag chairs to sit on during school to help him focus on his studies. Many elementary schools around the country have recognized the psychological benefits of bean bag furniture for children, and children with autism spectrum disorders can benefit at home as well.

Remback explains in the article that, “When an autistic child goes into a fit because of overstimulation, frustration or anger, soothing techniques such as holding the child tight or swaddling him or her with a blanket helps to calm the child.” One common way to swaddle autistic children is to squish them between two bean bags. This technique provides what psychologists call deep pressure stimulation that calms the child.

California-based company Bump, a firm that allows mobile phone users to share content between phones, has been noted for joining the increasingly popular trend of replacing regular chairs with bean bag chair in its Mountain View office. Co-founder David Lieb told the San Francisco Examiner that the company is doubling its staff at the Mountain View office and new employees will get the chance to experience the comfort of sitting on bean bags as they work.

Formerly a warehouse, in addition to bean bag sitting the office contains exercise balls, surfboards, catered lunches, as well as a dog. Mr. Lieb stated that the office probably has more different beverages in its kitchen than employees.

Bean bag chairs may become the norm in years to come. A recent Wall Street stocks article states that bean bag chairs have already become a mainstay in many offices.

Patrons at one Indian restaurant will get the chance to dine while sitting on bean bags, according to an article in The Hindu. Yalla! Yalla!, a restaurant located in Chennai’s Radisson Hotel, features Middle Eastern street food cuisine. Bean bag seating add to the Middle Eastern ambience, as diners are required to use such seating when enjoying such far as falafel, baklava and vegetarian mezze.

The Hindu reports that waiters dressed in enviably chic harem pants and keffiyeh scarves scuttle about while dramatically whipping heads around in time to belly dancing. Located near the hotel’s swimming pool, Yalla! Yalla! was highlighted for its hawker-style stalls and canbanas.

Yalla! Yalla! is the latest establishment to use bean bag chairs. The Hindu reported in November that the High on Caffeine Sports Cafe also has bean bag seating and is popular among college students.

Bean Bags and Ocean Views for Philippine Bar Patrons

tshearburn — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:06:05 +0000

Bar patrons at one beach-side bar in the Philippines can relax on watch the sunset from the comfort of a bean bag chair. Sydney Morning Herald writer Belinda Jackson states that the Sunset Bar located in Manilla’s Sofitel Philippine Plaza is a great place for a romantic rendezvous. The bean-bag seating placed in the middle of the landscape overlooking the ocean adds to the relaxing, romantic atmosphere, Ms. Jackson adds, noting that the bean bags–and the bar’s white lounges–are “hot property” when the sun sets.

The Sunset Bar is also a favorite for group gatherings, so it may be a good idea to arrive early to make sure you get a bean bag seat. The Sofitel is only the latest establishment to hop on the bean bag trend. Yalla! Yalla!, located in the Radisson Hotel in Chennai, India, also has bean-bag chairs and sofas to recreate a Middle Eastern street market environment.
