How can you use your bean bag chairs?
Bean bags fall under the most preferred furniture category owing to the fact that they can spice up the decor of any place almost instantly. They are super comfortable as well. Bean bags are basically pear-shaped bags filled with Styrofoam beans or pellets. The concept of bean bags was introduced by Cesare Paolini, Piero Gati and Franco Teodero and then produced by an Italian company for the first time in 1969.
The materials used to make bean bags include corduroy, suede, leather, fake fur etc. The bean bags made of polyester can be used outdoors too as they are waterproof.
Floats for pools
Water resistant bean bags filled with Styrofoam pellets can be used as great floating couches for house pools. They would be super fun not just for kids but for pool parties also.
Beds for your pets
If you have a pet, you will relate at once to this genius idea. Yes, you can use these bean bags as pet beds and they would not only have a cozy place to sleep but also a fun thing to play with. A tiny advice would be to make sure that the bags are sturdier that usual. However, bean bag chairs are usually constructed with heavy materials which are tightly sewn, so there are really small chances of any problem.
As an outstanding heating pad
These bags can work as great radiant heating pads. In case you want them to be naturally heated, you can fill the bag up with natural elements like rice, oats, barley, flax etc. All you would need is to heat the bags in dry heat for a while and these natural fillers will be holding heat for almost an hour.
As a camera stand
Yes, it is an interesting way to use these bags. A lot of photographers have used this technique of using bean bags as camera stands. This is because, these bags can be easily manipulated into different shapes and the various high and low angle shots become achievable with this technique. Also its mobility is better than that of a tripod.
Therapeutic uses
Bean bags have been found to be helpful in therapy for children with autism. Bean bag chairs provide the kids with more steadiness and the pressure from the fillers helps in keeping the body calm and relaxed.
