I finally caved and bought this EDUJIN 5ft bean bag chair after months of debating whether I really needed another piece of furniture in my apartment. Man, I’m so glad I did! When it first arrived, it was kind of squished into this vacuum-sealed package (honestly, I was a bit worried it wouldn’t expand properly). But after opening it up and giving it about a day to do its thing, it fluffed up amazingly well. I kept fluffing and kneading it every few hours, which definitely helped it reach its full potential faster.
The memory foam filling is pretty great—way better than those old-school bean bags that had those little beads that would eventually go flat. This one actually contours to your body when you sit in it, which makes it super comfortable for those marathon Netflix sessions I’m kind of addicted to. I spent like three hours watching shows on it last weekend and didn’t get that achy back feeling I usually do on my couch.
The velvet cover is no joke—it’s honestly softer than I expected. Not gonna lie, I’ve fallen asleep on this thing twice already! The camel color I chose works perfectly with my living room vibe, and it’s a nice change from the basic black or gray everything else seems to come in these days. To be fair, I was torn between this and the navy blue option, but I’m really happy with my choice.
This thing is HUGE at 5 feet across! It’s definitely big enough for me to sprawl out completely (I’m 5’9″) or even share with my girlfriend and our cat (who, by the way, has claimed one side as her new favorite napping spot). I was worried it might overwhelm my apartment, but it actually fits really well in the corner of my living room. It’s become the most fought-over seat when friends come over for game nights.
The maintenance has been pretty straightforward so far. My friend’s kid spilled some juice on it last week, and I just wiped it down with a damp cloth and some mild soap—came right out, no stain at all. That’s a massive improvement over my last fabric chair that showed literally every spill.
One thing I didn’t expect was how it’s kind of replaced my desk chair for casual laptop work. It’s just so much more comfortable! I’ve started taking my morning Zoom calls from it (camera off, obviously, since I look like I’m lounging instead of working, lol).
At about 35 pounds, it’s not too bad to move around when I need to vacuum underneath it. Definitely lighter than my old armchair was. The round shape is super versatile too—you can kind of mold it to whatever position you want.
For anyone on the fence, they do offer that 60-day satisfaction guarantee, which gave me peace of mind before buying. I haven’t needed to contact customer service though, since everything’s been pretty much perfect with it.
