Before you choose bean bag chair for you, you have to decide what your buying criteria actually are. Below is a bean bag comparison of some of the good chairs available on market, using the following criteria:-
· Cost – Bean bags are undoubtedly one of the cheapest seating solutions available on the market, and you can get a beanbag for a third of the cost of a chair.
· Quality– They vary tremendously in quality, as anyone who has had to clean up 30,000 foam pellets will tell you. You can tell which items are of good quality quite easily, as the quality items will tend to be firmer and hold their shape better, be more expensive or from a reputable and/or well-known brand, have a higher quality outer cover and possibly a guarantee or warranty.
· Comfort– For those who have ended up falling out of their bean bag, or unable to stand up because the beanbag isn’t firmly packed enough, comfort can be a major factor when it comes to choosing a beanbag. A beanbag designed for an adult should maintain its shape, be strong enough to take the weight of an adult without collapsing, and continue to do this over a period of time.
· Durability – They can last years if treated well. A good quality cover will ensure that beans do not leak out, that it doesn’t rip or tear or the fabric flake off in the case of faux leather/PVC beanbags.
· Outdoor Use – Beanbags are often bought specifically for use outdoors. Many beanbags are sold as outdoor bean bag chairs and need to withstand heat, cold, rain, ice and sun. A strong durable outer coating is vital for this, to prevent mold or tearing. The pellets also need to with stand the extremes of outdoor use and maintain their shape and buoyancy.
· Cleaning – There are two types of beanbags, those with covers you can remove, and those without. Decide whether you will need to wash the outer cover before buying. You can see some tips on how to care your bean bag from our post.
· Health and Safety – Even though Bean bags are good for your health, Bean Bags have to conform to certain regulations to ensure that they are not a fire risk, or otherwise dangerous to the health.

Full Review: https://beanbagsexpert.com/bean-bag-chairs/gold-medal-large-leather-look-tear-drop-bean-bag/
Overall, the beanbags that performed the best were the medium sized bean bags which were averagely priced. The softness and comfort of the Chill Bag and Sofa Sack made them hugely popular, while the fresh bright design of the cupcake bean bag was liked by most.
The Gold Medal received the lowest score, as it was flimsy and the seams tend to tear. Surprisingly, the biggest and most expensive option wasn’t particularly popular, as it was difficult to move or fluff up, followed by the least expensive option which didn’t keep it’s shape.
All the bags mentioned conformed to US Health and Safety Standards.
