Pillowtex set out to make a bean bag with child safety as our primary priority. The inner bag is completely sealed so no little hands can make their way into the traditionally used Styrofoam or foam fills. Comfort was the second most important part of our project. We tested over fifteen combinations of fill and fill materials to settle on the most comfortable. Third was product longevity. This bag will not go flat. Period. And if it ever does, we'll replace it. The cover is removable and washable. High quality plush fabric was chosen for comfort and durability. Last but not least, we wanted this bag to be ascetically pleasing. No more tacky bean bags! This is the bean bag you are looking for!
