My iPad and smartphone have become as much a part of my relaxation routine as comfy socks and a candle. Whether it be reading in bed; watching films whilst travelling; experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen; following my daily yoga routine; or lounging in the garden.
Holding my iPad up is tiresome and a strain on the joints. Going hands-free with an iPad stand is essential, but gosh can’t they be fiddly?!
When you finally get the viewing angle you’re after, if you move an inch you have to adjust it all over again. Stands seem prone to collapsing (at least when I use them) and they’re only ever as good as the flatness of the surface you put them on, which is a challenge when using a tablet outdoors.
One day I was looking at the scraps of fabric leftover from making Armadillo Sun bean bags — I hate waste — and was struck with a brainwave.
Let me introduce you to the perfect throne for your tablet or phone: the Armadillo Sun iPad Bean Bag.
Armadillo Sun Bean Bag Tablet Stands are made from the fabric offcuts from the making of our outdoor bean bags. The iPad Bean Bag Stand pictured is made from the same premium technical fabric as our most popular product, the Garden Bean Bag Lounger in Palm Pumice.
A bean bag for your iPad?! A gimmick, or the best tablet holder ever?
We unreservedly love these bean bag tablet holders. They're flexible, portable, universal, and come in a choice of interiors-loving colours and joy-bringing designs. They’re an accessory you can be pleased to have lying around your living room and patio.
We’re not the only ones who love them either.
Customer reviews of the Armadillo Sun Bean Bag iPad Holder:
“Very flexible for positioning any device.” ~ Amy S.
“It works very successfully as a device stand as the bean bag is malleable and dense enough to hold the shape you mould it to.” ~ J. M.
“An excellent product, well made, and ideal for the purpose.” ~ Hilary N.
“Just what I needed – especially for using outside.” ~ Jo. R
“They are such a good idea. I have propped a book, my phone, and my iPad on it and they are always safe and well balanced.” ~ Anna K.
The advantages of a bean bag stand for your iPad
1) Find the perfect viewing angle every time
With a bean bag stand you can prop your iPad or phone at exactly the angle you want. You’re not limited by the set positions, like a folio stand, and there’s no fiddling with an adjustable stand. You can lie in bed with your iPad just where you need it to read — and easily tweak it when you move. Or have a tablet set-up for the grandkids to watch cartoons, saving squabbles about who gets to hold it and making sure they don’t have it squashed up against their faces.
Filled fully with beads that hold their shape, the Armadillo Sun Bean Bag Holder is malleable but holds its shape — so your tablet won’t slip or shift (which is so frustrating when you are mid-bake, have your hands covered in flour and dough, and can’t see what’s next in the recipe because it’s moved or fallen over.)
2) Plonk it on any uneven surface
Use a bean bag tablet holder on a sun lounger, on the sand or grass, on a sofa or bed. It’ll always sit securely and hold your iPad upright.
Our bean bag stands are mini replicas of Armadillo Sun bean bag chairs so they are sturdy and robust. With a broad base, and filled with premium beans, they mould over uneven surfaces and won’t tip over on the beach or on your duvet.
Armadillo Sun Bean Bag iPad Holders are mini replicas of our luxury garden bean bags. Made from the same premium technical fabric, and filled with the highest quality beads, they are waterproof, stainproof, wipe-clean, and maintain their shape — so you're guaranteed a secure, comfortable, and convenient viewing spot for your tablet.
3) Fits any size of device, tablet, or phone (plus their covers)
The Armadillo Sun bean bag stand will hold up your tablet or phone, whatever the size, in portrait or landscape, with or without a case.
Rather than purchasing multiple stands for different devices and tablets, one bean bag holder can be used with them all.
4) Soft, light, and portable
The Armadillo Sun Bean Bag iPad Holder is ultra-lightweight at only 150 grams and made from the same soft fabric we use for seating and cushions. It’s therefore extremely comfortable to have nestled on your lap with your phone, and simple to move around to exactly where you need it.
We fill each mini bean bag fully and properly with the highest quality beads (the same ones we use for our garden bean bags) so, whilst they are light, they will easily take the weight of your device and hold it up securely.
5) Use outdoors without worrying about dirt or rain
Armadillo Sun garden furniture is made to be used outdoors. Our Bean Bag Tablet Holders are exactly the same. Made from premium weatherproof material, and with interior beads that do not absorb moisture, they can handle being left out in the rain (although your iPad might struggle!)
iPad Bean Bags from Armadillo Sun can be used outside in the rain and won't tip over on uneven surfaces like grass or sand.
6) Untippable and non-collapsible
Use a bean bag stand wherever and whenever you want to use your tablet without worry that it’ll collapse or tip over.
7) Colours and patterns your interior designer would approve of
Whether you love neutrals or prefer bright organic designs, you can choose an iPad bean bag to complement your home décor.
I love this because, however much I tidy up, a tablet stand is always lying around somewhere in our household. So it needs to look good!
The Armadillo Sun Bean Bag Tablet Stand is a practical (and stylish) addition to the kitchen, holding a phone or tablet for recipes — and even a traditional recipe book. Being stain-proof and water-proof it'll handle a messy chef too!
8) Unbreakable
Drop it on the floor. Step on it. Chuck it in the pool. Have the grandkids play catch with it. An iPad bean bag is not going to break!
Plus each one is professionally handmade in the UK and, for extra robustness, is double-stitched and over-locked.
9) Spillproof and stain resistant
Spill wine on it in the kitchen, or a cocktail by the pool, and the premium technical fabric of a bean bag iPad holders will wipe clean.
The Armadillo Sun iPad bean bag stand in a zesty green patterned fabric holds your ebook perfectly for relaxing outside with a glass of something lovely.
10) Doubles up as a handy pillow
Being soft, comfortable, and lightweight, when these mini bean bags aren’t keeping your tablet safe they’re an excellent travel pillow or footrest!
