Are lots of real, unsolicited customer testimonials available?
AHH: We publish pages of testimonials that people voluntarily give us.  Honest-to-goodness praise from happy customers from 1998 to today!  From celebrities, decorators, schools, hospitals, libraries, corporations, and tv shows too! No, we don't make anything up...
Other Company: [  ]

Do customers come back and buy again, even years later? 
AHH: We have an ever-growing, loyal customer base that returns to us repeatedly and spreads the word worldwide.  That's the best testimonial of them all!
Other Company: [  ]

Do the bean bag chairs meet US Flammability and Safety Standards? 
AHH: We meet UFAC class1, California TB 117E, California TB 117A.3, and CSPC Zipper Enclosure standards. We also started our law label program in 2007, legally required by individual U.S. states.
Other Company: [  ]

Are the bean bag chairs "direct from the factory" in the USA? This ensures high quality, easy customer service, plus it's great for our country!
AHH: Our bean bags are assembled in and shipped from Fairfax, Virginia.  We have local seamstresses and employ local "bean bag technicians".  Refer to our product information page for details on our manufacturing process.
Other Company: [  ]

Can you easily remove and wash the bean bag cover? Be careful - some companies say "remove & wash" cover, but they don't mention that you have to take out some of the filling to do this.
AHH: All Ahh bean bag chairs have covers that are easy to remove and wash in your household washing machine.
Other Company: [  ]

What are the filling options?  The filling pellets should be very small, anything pea-sized or larger may be lumpy and will deflate faster.
AHH: Our virgin bead filling is comprised of aproximately 3mm wide, smooth, and perfectly round "bb's". Our regular reground filling is mainly 3-4mm wide, almost-round "bb's". Reground has some occasional chunks of  "bb's" stuck together.
Other Company: [  ]

If comparing to a foam chair, is the foam easy to re-fluff?  We've sold replacement filling to customers to completely change out their foam filling because they say it is very hard to re-fluff a foam chair that has become compacted.
AHH:  We do not offer foam chairs. They are too "pillow-y" and do not feel like bean bags to us.  To re-fluff, just pick pick up and shake.
Other Company: [  ]

Do you get discounts on refill?
AHH: Ahh Spot bean bag owners get $25 off refill.
Other Company: [  ]

Are bean bag seams hidden and double-stitched for a high-end finished look? Or are they on the outside and easy to see?
AHH: Ahh Spot bean bags double seams will never break and are the most stylish in the industry...as attested to by interior decorators worldwide.
Other Company: [  ]

Is there an inner liner bag to hold the filling so you can remove and wash the cover?
AHH: Of course!
Other Company: [  ]

Is the inner liner bag super-strong PLUS water-repellent PLUS made of light-weight microfiber? Most, if not all other companies use poly/cotton or cotton liners.
AHH: We are the first company with a water-repel liner made of microfiber. "Weatherproof" coats are often made of the same material that we use.  Our liners will never rip or split or wear-out, yet are lightweight...even if they are used as landing pads. (Not that we advise that!)
Other Company: [  ]

Does the inner liner bag have a child-resistant zipper that can be opened and relocked to refill?
AHH: Our zippers are YKK, best in the business. They open and relock easily with a paperclip, and comply with US Consumer Safety Product Commission guidelines.
Other Company: [  ]

Are products shipped out next business day *if ordered by 4pm EST?
AHH: Yes, barring issues that we cannot control (weather, FedEx delays, etc.).  (Name personalizations require up to 7 days.) HOLIDAY SHIPPING: orders placed Dec. 1 - Dec. 21 may take up to 3 weekdays to ship out after payment is received.
