Outdoor Bean Bag Chair

The shape and feel are similar, but the materials are completely different. A regular indoor bean bag uses decorative fabric that absorbs water and fades quickly in direct sun. An outdoor bean bag chair is made from technical fabric that is water-repellent, UV-stabilised and resistant to mildew, so it can stay outside through the season without deteriorating. The filling also matters: our outdoor models use moisture-resistant EPS beads that do not clump when damp. In short, an outdoor model is engineered to live where an indoor one would be ruined.

Yes. The fabric is waterproof and the seams are designed to shed water, so an unexpected shower will not soak the filling. For the longest possible life we still recommend storing it under cover or bringing it indoors during prolonged heavy rain, winter storms or frost, and standing it on its side to let any surface water run off after a downpour. Treated this way, a single chair comfortably lasts many seasons.

For everyday marks, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then rinse with clean water and let it air-dry. Because the fabric does not absorb liquid, spills from drinks, sun cream or food lift off easily instead of staining. Avoid harsh solvents and bleach, which can damage the UV coating. The cover keeps its colour and water resistance far longer when you clean gently and let it dry naturally in the shade.

It depends on who is using it and where. The L size is ideal for children, balconies and tight corners; the XL suits most adults as a relaxed everyday armchair; and the XXL gives the deep, sink-in lounging feel that two people can share or one person can stretch out in. If in doubt, size up – an outdoor bean bag chair is most comfortable when there is plenty of filling to support you.
