Cozy Sack 8-Feet Bean Bag Chair, X-Large, Navy

Make sure you have room for this. I thought it was much smaller than it is. My bad, but be careful or this will take over your living room! Good quality - but it is as tall as it is wide.

I waited a year after buying my first Cozy Sack(4ft) to review so I could give an idea of the durability of this chair. I just bought my second chair (5ft) and my affinity for this item has not changed from the first moment I opened the box. I and my whole family are in love with this chair. In fact I had to buy a second one because a year later everyone is still fighting over who gets to sit in it.Just like all the other reviews, its bigger than you imagine, so make sure you have a good amount of space to put it in. Despite its size, they are light enough to move around but it is squishy enough that its a little awkward to do that so make sure you open/assemble it where you want it to go. Easy to put the cover on and easier yet to just let it expand for a day or two.I use it for my game room so putting it with the circle ends vertical to the ground makes it perfect for sitting up and having back support (the 5ft more so than 4ft). If you are taller, you will prob want some kind of pillow support for your head for the maximum lounging experience. I also turn my 4ft Cozy, circle ends horizontal, and its flatter for a more reclined position, perfect for reading and even sleeping. Yes, I've fallen asleep multiple times in this chair. It stays in the position you use for as long as you want, flattens out a little over time, never enough to be overly uncomfortable, but all you have to do is roll it a little and it fills back out on its own. I've left mine in the same position for months and never felt a need to reposition.If you have back problems, I can tell you its one of the best things I've ever sat in. However, you will be a lot closer to the ground and getting back up can be a little bit of an issue. My mom has had back surgery and when she comes over she always wants to sit in the this chair, but we have to help her back up or she has to roll out and then maneuver off the ground.Spills and pets have made no major impact on this chair. It cleans extremely easily, even to just wipe off (although you can machine wash the cover which I have not done) and the material is strong and yet soft. I have a red and a black and so far no staining, tears, and nothing really overly sticks to it (dust, lint). This is all with 3 dogs, multiple moves from game room to front-room, two-three people on it at once, and a 6'5'' brother doing his best to smother it.Fantastic product and I wish I had one in every room of the house!

Overall, I am happy with our enormous bean bag! And make no mistake ... it's enormous. (I own the 6ft XL size) Other reviewers likened it to a giant baked potato and that's pretty accurate. When it unfurls and puffs up, it's giant. Make sure you measure your space and choose accordingly, otherwise it'll look silly ... or just not fit! But the larger size also allows for it to be very comfy and can fit two people. Now, my 6'3" husband and I would not both fit on this comfortably, but I can lounge on it with one of my teens and 2-3 teen girls have sat on it together. I did seek out a size large enough for two people.It makes a great spot for reading, watching tv or napping. We don't use it for gaming so I can't speak to that specific function. I chose the bean bag for my room b/c a loveseat sofa was unable to fit in a corner. While this isn't exactly smaller than a loveseat, it does allow for a corner fit in the room by either turning it longways (as pictured) or "smooshing it" in to the corner if turned the other way. The bag is used by teenagers and me (small adult). I'd not purchase it to replace a traditional couch that you expect adults to sit on regularly. But it's great for a second living room or family room, where it serves as furniture for kids or is in addition to traditional furniture. Once fully puffed up, the bag is heavy and awkward to move between rooms (you're not going to pick it up and carry it), but you could pull/slide it to another room if your path is big/clear enough.Once you've sat on it a few times, the bag starts taking on that shape. If you don't want it to get "matted down" then you have to fluff it up from time to time. This isn't hard to do, but because the bag is so heavy and stuffing so dense, you have to really work to move the stuffing and bag around to retain its fluffier shape.PROS:- big and comfy, room for two- no (or minimal) weird smells- puffed up nicely after opening (I followed instructions and worked on pulling apart stuffing rather than just open and let it sit and puff up on its own)- cover can be removed for cleaning or replacementCONS:- requires routine "puffing up" so it doesn't flatten down- cost. For $243 ($260 after tax) it's pricey and maybe not worth that higher price tag unless you're using it all the time. But price was comparable to others on market and much less than the high-end brands.- not returnableWould I recommend? YesBut measure your space and order correct size for your needs. You cannot return this item and you don't want to be stuck with a pricey bag that doesn't work for you!

My kids absolutely love this for movie time!!

I spent a lot of time researching beanbag chairs before purchasing one. Based on size and reviews I got this and a big joe. The big joe is WAY better. This chair is indeed flat. I spent 30 minutes “fluffing” and teasing the foam apart to help it expand. Spent more time shaking it. Two days later it’s still maybe half full. Purchased two more bags of stuffing at another $140. Think that will make this bag decent. Get the big joe instead. They come very full and much softer!!
