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.

Attendees to a Toronto museum exhibition can sit on bean bag chairs as they take in the view of the all the works. Varsity student writer Emily Kellogg got a chance to experience sitting on her own bean bag during a trip to see the Ron Terada: Who I Think I Am exhibit at Toronto’s Justin M. Barnicke Gallery.

Ms. Kellogg describes the Vancouver artist’s showcase as a “baffling signage”, and states that the mixed media exhibition incorporated black canvases and video installations inscribed with white text. Ms. Kellogg enjoyed being able to sit down while enjoying watching the projection of a spinning vinyl record and found her bean bag chair as “moderately comfortable” enough to make her nearly forget she was in an art gallery.

The fusion of bean bag chairs and culture will continue, as noted by New Zealand publication, The Aucklander. According to the Aucklander, filmgoers are encouraged to bring bean bag chairs to Mount Eden’s Tahaki Reserve when it launches its open-air movie season on February 9th.

College Dorm Decorating Idea: Bean Bag Chairs

tshearburn — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 21:42:28 +0000

Think back to college- or think about your dorm, if you’re currently in school. Your dorm room is a place where you spend a great deal of time: studying, sleeping, talking with friends. Often, you may spend hours upon hours, up late, preparing for important tests and exams. Other times, you’re spending time with your friends, and enjoying company, maybe playing video games.

You know that you have a style that is all your own- and being comfortable is also important. Being able to fully decorate your dorm room easily, with space saving in mind is something that every college student considers. Bean bag chairs are a great way to do that, enhancing the overall look of your area, while at the same time, making great use of the small space you have.

Made for durability and comfort, these chairs will bring a new life to any dorm room and have your space much more comfortable. Whether you’re up late cramming for that mid-term, or just relaxing after a rough day of class, you’ll find that a bean bag chair is the perfect accessory for your dorm room. Fitting easily into any and every budget, bean bag chairs are also more affordable than ever. This light weight option is also perfect for people who probably don’t want to toss out a bunch of furniture at the end of term or when they move- rather, just pick it up, pack it up and off you go.

Modernize Gaming Space With A Retro Classic

Does your gaming cabinet have all the latest systems, but your game-room furniture screams old school NES? Have you been having a hard time scooting back that heavy couch so that you can use your Kinect or Wii with all of the awesome action games? This has been a conundrum for many gamers- but one with a simple, attractive and affordable solution.

Bean bag chairs have been modernized and are steadily climbing as the furniture of choice for game rooms, everywhere. In every color you can imagine, in many different sizes and styles, these versatile, comfortable seating options make a perfect addition to any game room- be it a room designated just for that purpose, or even your own living room. Absolutely perfect and almost made for the new systems, these light weight options for seating are comfortable enough to sit for hours, but simple enough to scoot to the back of the room for the more active games.

Anyone who is a serious gamer can tell you, one of the biggest issues with seating is that the usual options just aren’t comfortable enough and often, aren’t supportive for gamers. They certainly don’t offer the ease of movement, and definitely, old school chairs and couches cannot be moved quickly or easily to switch to games offered with the Wii or Kinect. However, anyone who has sunk down into a bean bag chair for a gaming session knows, once you’re done- you can simply move the bean bag back to switch up for more active gaming. It’s no wonder these chairs are gaining in popularity!

Bean Bag Chairs – Gaming Consoles Need Seating Too

tshearburn — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 19:55:25 +0000

It has been 30 years since home gaming consoles first started becoming household tools of entertainment. Today, the gaming community ranges from young children to men and women who began playing in the early 1980′s.

Anyone who partook in the early days of home gaming remembers the lack of comfortability offered to the user. Old systems from those days were notorious for having short cords that attached the player’s controller to the game console itself. This often caused the gamer to sit more upright and closer to the television than normal to compensate for the minuscule two and half feet of cord. Such a predicament disallowed gamers to sit back and relax in their couches or chairs.

Today those gamers from yesteryear make up a diverse gaming community. Gamers now in their 40′s, in spite of consoles lending themselves to more comfort, are still seeking a more comfortable way to play video games, especially for long sessions. Couches and chairs become awkward and uncomfortable over time simply because they are unable to provide a more prone position.

Bean bag chairs are famous for having their users sink into them while at the same time providing full body support. Gamers who yearn to obtain a more desirable position for those three hour long gaming sessions should consider purchasing a bean bag chair for lasting comfort. In today’s age of wireless video game controllers bean bag chairs come in handy as they can be moved around the gaming room freely, allowing for more portability than the traditional couch or chair. A gamer with a bean bag chair can also take it to other locations to participate in afternoon long video game tournaments at their friend’s house.

Bean Bag Furniture Is A “Wonderful Addition” To Any Room

According to a recent Video Game Chair article, large bean bags can be a great alternative to traditional furniture or add a new place to relax.

The article notes that a large bean chair is a “wonderful addition to any room in the house.” Large bean bag chairs, also called bean bag sofas, can be a great place for the family to sit and watch a movie or play video games together. Bean bag chairs are also lightweight enough to be moved from room to room, and are easy to maintain.

Bean bags can also fit with a modern indoor design. According to the Video Game Chair article, “bean bags are also wonderful when being matched with the rest of the furniture in the family room, music room, or anywhere in the home.”

Earlier this week, John Espinosa of Ezine Articles reported that bean bag furniture can also be a quick way of spicing up the décor in the home.

Video Gaming Chair Ideas

If you’re anything like my teenage sons you spend hours thinking about, talking or playing video games. There are games grown ups can get into too but usually work gets in the way of having an all night marathon playing online against others people around the world. The graphics in these games are what make them so attractive but having a comfortable place to sit while you play is one of the most important aspects even though so few people actually think about it. Sitting in an uncomfortable chair will ruin just about any game. Here are some ideas to consider when thinking about a video gaming chair of your own.

Desk chairs offered for sale at office supply stores are by far the most inexpensive. For under $50 you’ll be able to have a chair but it will offer little comfort past that. These chairs are usually stiff and could give you a bad back depending on how long you sit in them. Also only one person can sit in them at a time so if multiple people want to play a game together you’d need to pay for multiple chairs which can get expensive and take up a lot of space.

Next are dedicated gaming seats. These aren’t chairs because they don’t have a stand or base. They sit on the floor and allow you to sit up in a reclined position while you play. Some of these models have audio-in jacks so you can pipe the sounds from your game into the chair to enhance the game playing experience. As many people are choosing to mount their television on a wall or above a fireplace the low sitting height of these chairs may make it difficult to see what’s actually going on in the game.

Another option many people don’t consider is a bean bag chair. The oversized pieces of furniture come in multiple sizes allowing you to get one large enough to fit one person or to host your own tournament. An example of such a chair is a Comfy Sack. Comfy Sacks come in sizes from three to eight feet allowing you to select the right size for your space.

Foam Chairs are a Gamer’s Delight

tshearburn — Fri, 04 May 2007 19:55:27 +0000

More and more people these days are discovering the fun of video games played at home on consoles and massive multiplayer online video games and computer games. Some people sit for hours on the weekend or in the evening playing these games, and there are huge tournaments devoted to the pursuit of virtually blowing up other people.

Marathon gaming sessions can be a lot of fun, but they also place a lot of strain on the body. Sitting in one position for hours at a time with very little movement can strain the back and shoulders, not to mention the pain in the arms and hands from holding your controller for so long.

There’s no good remedy for hand strain other than taking breaks from destroying your enemies, but when it comes to the body aches associated with long periods of gaming, there is a solution: picking a different chair. Next-generation beanbag chairs like the Comfy Sack are a perfect choice for gamers because they give needed support while also being incredibly comfortable.

These foam chairs are different from the bean bag chairs of old. Instead of being filled with those noisy, crunchy Styrofoam pellets that leak out all over the floor, these chairs are stuffed with furniture-grade Comfy Foam for extra comfort and durability, but they keep the classic beanbag shape, allowing users to sit or lie however they like.

Comfy Sacks come in a variety of sizes, but the most popular one for gaming is known, appropriately, as the Gamer. This five-foot sack is perfect for one person to sit in for long hours playing video games. If you’ve got a little more room, the six-foot Video Sack is another great choice for watching movies and playing games. It can even replace your couch!

Because the foam in Comfy Sacks is incredibly supportive, it puts no pressure at all on the body, so no matter how or how long you sit playing your favorite video games, you’ll feel a lot more comfortable than you do sitting on a traditional couch. Gamers who have used the Comfy Sack for gaming rate them even higher than chairs that were designed for long-term gaming—they’re just that comfortable.

The Comfy Sack has been cited by gaming magazines as the ultimate choice for marathon gamers, and this beanbag chair is actually used at some gaming tournaments so that fatigue is not a factor in the scoring of the games.

If you’re planning the perfect game room or simply love gaming and want to have the best chair possible for your favorite hobby, invest in a foam Comfy Sack. These aren’t your grandma’s beanbag chairs, and they’ll get you through many hours of gaming (or watching movies, or television, or whatever else you do in front of your television) with ease and comfort.
