12 ways to use a bean bag to sit you from January to December
January – enveloped in a beanbag, create an instant cosy escape for me-time
Dark days and the turning of the year come with reflection and re-evaluation. A bean bag carried into a corner of the living room, or against the radiator in the bedroom, becomes a place to be absorbed by a book, or gather your thoughts and watch the weather outside.
February – kindle intimate conversation with the perfect indoor picnic set-up
What better way to celebrate a cosy Valentine’s Day than snuggled together on bean bags watching an old film and grazing on a beautiful picnic of charcuterie and strawberries? Informal, yet luxuriously self-indulgent, bean bags set the tone perfectly. Opt for faux fur bean chairs and your brownie points sky-rocket!
March – say no to spring cleaning your outdoor furniture!
With the early days of spring emerging you might think about tackling the outdoor furniture to be ready for the longer days. This is made simple when your outdoor furniture is bean bags made from stain-proof, mould-resistant, fabric. Instead enjoy more of the first days of spring at the window!
April – soak up the sunshine between the showers with an outdoor bean bag that can handle the weather and dries quick
April might be too early for the covers to come off most garden furniture, but not so for outdoor bean bags! They dry super quickly and are perfect for making the most of any spring sunshine without the risk of a soggy bottom.

May – encourage multi-generational fun with a games evening
You won't be surprised to hear that we find that kids and teenagers love our bean bags. But are they only for kids and teenagers? Absolutely not!
The joy of a properly filled, well-designed, bean bag, is that it is supremely comfortable for everyone from 3 to 103. No sharp edges to donk your head on when you're little and, when you're a little older, a seat that supports you but doesn't leave you flailing to get out. Pregnant friends will thank you as they ease their aching bones into their enveloping softness.
Invite everyone around for the bank holidays for an indoor games evening. Or, if the weather is kind, consider a garden-cinema night.
June – celebrate the summer solstice with an elegant garden party
With a bean bag there is a multitude of colours and patterns to choose from to ensure that your outdoor space emulates your style. Whether you prefer something bold and vibrant or a neutral for understated chic, make sure to show off your patio and garden with a party!
July – enjoy hassle-free BBQs and al fresco dining
Outdoor dining is easy when you can rearrange the furniture by swinging it over your shoulder (making use of the handy handle) and remove tomato sauce and red wine spills from the fabric with a damp cloth.
Elevate your outdoor dining experience with a bean bag garden sofa which benefits from all the features of the bean bag chair on a larger scale. No more hefting around a clunky outdoor furniture set!
August – really lounge at the beach (without fear of toppling over)
No more sinking into the sand or teetering unevenly. A bean bag chair makes you the envy of other beach-goers by being both super comfy and super sturdy. Plus the cotton-feel fabric won't stick to your skin in the sunshine.
A bean bag at the beach is worth every inch of car space in getting it there!
September – grab the sunniest spot whilst still protecting your lawn
Chase the last of the sunshine around your garden, without leaving a trail of little muddy sinkholes and damaging the grass. An outdoor bean bag is garden seating you really can use on the lawn.
October – embrace the transition of the seasons with afternoons by the fire-pit and evenings by the fireplace
A bean bag that is hardy enough for outdoors but elegant enough for indoors, means you are ready to enjoy whatever the weather has in store. Whisk it outside for a seat on a cold bright winter afternoon, and then simply carry it back indoors to warm up with a hot cuppa.
November – use a faux fur cover on your bean bag to cosy-up indoors
As the nights draw in, bring your bean bag indoors for fireside seating - or for somewhere to sit and prise off your muddy boots. Change-up your bean bag completely with its own faux fur cover and take cosy to a new level!
December – pull up an extra seat for friends & family and celebrate the festive season together
The perfect easy chair for the extra guest (or guests!) over Christmas and New Year. Comfortable, stylish, and simple to carry to wherever you want it.
The difficulty will be getting your guests to leave!
