AHH Spot Bean Bag Chairs
How They're Made

ahhhh...that spot's beautiful!

Ahh Spot bean bag chairs come with three parts: a Cover, a Liner, and Filling. Together, they make very comfy round (not ugly pear-shaped) bean bag chairs.  Our round bean bags are preferred by decorators and designers worldwide.

COVERS

Covers are the "outer" shell of Ahh Spot bean bags. They are handmade in the USA and double-stitched with quality materials for exceptional beauty and long life.  We use top quality thread, fabrics, and zippers.

Unlike other bean bags, ours are sewn like a baseball. Other bean bags use many panels and look like an orange with sections. It's much cheaper to make a paneled bean bag chair, but this style shows more seams and doesn't look nice. Our seams, on the other hand, are hidden and look more "finished".

Note: paneled bean bags are egg-shaped, that's why they have 3 measurements (width, depth, height). Our round shape has a simple diameter measurement.

Bean bag covers come in many different materials and colors, so you can match them to your taste and lifestyle. Covers can be zipped-off completely for washing in your household washing machine and for changing whenever the mood strikes you.  You can purchase covers separately.

LINERS

Liners hold the filling, allowing the cover to be removed and washed.  They are handmade and double-stitched.  They simply won't break.  We use an extremely strong, water-repellent microfiber - water beads right up! Other bean bag chairs use cheap, thin cotton or poly/cotton liners. What if you spill a drink on your bean bag chair and it soaks right through to the filling? What's the point of a washable cover if the inside is sticky and stinky (or worse, mildewy)?  And what a mess when they break!

All liners have a self-locking, child-resistant zipper that makes refilling easier, but keeps your child out of the filling. You can purchase liners separately, too..

People even like the way the liner looks & feels, so when you're washing your cover, you still have a nice bean bag!  See the bean bag liner in action!

FILLING

The filling is polystyrene (better known as styrofoamTM).  This is the traditional filling for bean bag chairs, and it makes our bean bags feel the way you'd expect a bean bag to feel.  It conforms to your body, while still providing enough structure to hold you up. Wondering about our filling compared to the shredded couch-foam filling?...We've been told that the foam filled chairs are really hard to "re-fluff" and are too "pillow-y".  This means you have a compacted chair with no support!

We fill our bean bags with reground polystyrene pellets...we try to be as Earth-friendly as possible. We also offer virgin bead filling as another option.  Read about reground vs. virgin refill. 

Bonus: customers with Ahh Spot bean bags get discounts on refill!

SAFETY NOTE

All bean bag chairs are upholstered furniture, which also fall into a special category because they are filled.  As such, all bean bags are legally required to include labels with information about the manufacturer (name, address, URN #) and what the filling is.  In most cases, it should also include flammability information.  With this information, consumers are safer.  Especially because children often use bean bag chairs, it is vital that you know what is inside, if it meets US flammability standards, and who to contact if you have problems.

Manufacturers that stand behind their products will have this label for all to see.  Immediately after we found out about these labels, AHH! Products started labeling our bean bag chairs as required by law.
