Beanbag chairs are the ideal furniture for all different types of people, including students, parents, and individuals with sensory issues. Beanbag chairs deliver comfort and style while staying friendly to the wallet. No other piece of furniture offers such a perfect combination of support, versatility and fun. Beanbag chairs were invented in Italy in 1969, and since then these great items have spread around the globe. While people of all types love these seats, three groups in particular have embraced them: students, parents and people with sensory processing issues.

There is an appeal of Beanbags in various college and university students in many ways. Dorm rooms are usually equipped with boring, uncomfortable furniture. Bean bags are an easy way to add color and personalization to a room while also making the room more functional. And since they can be inexpensive, they are affordable even for students on tight budgets. These terrific room essentials are many students' first furniture purchases. Most students move frequently, some as often as every semester, and these lightweight pieces are easy to throw into a car or moving van.

Later in life when they have children, many people rediscover their love of beanbag. Young children often do not understand how to be careful with and around furniture. As a result, both the child and the furniture can end up injured. Bean bags are soft, safe and durable. Children can flop down on them without fear, and parents don't have to worry about damage. They can easily be moved throughout the house for use in any room. Many are even large enough for kids to nap on. Children and adults with sensory processing disorders also benefit from beanbags. In sensory-related issues, the brain has trouble processing the information it gets from the senses, including touch. The way the beanbag envelops the body provides gentle, continuous pressure, helping the person calm down and focus. This sort of pressure has been shown to be highly therapeutic in individuals with autism or developmental disorders. Bean bags also provide great total body support, providing further comfort and calm.

While these groups might be some of the most common users of beanbags, everyone can benefit from these great soft seats. Quality bean bags are available in many different colors, styles and patterns. They are light enough for children to move around, yet can accommodate even a large adult comfortably. These soft pieces can easily be pushed into shape for perfect support, enabling a person to use them in almost any position. Overall, beanbag chairs are amazingly simple yet effective pieces of furniture. They are at home in any home.
