Big Joe Bean Bag Reviews

Big Joe Bean Bag Specifics

Big Joe was started by two college students that experienced discomfort and frustration from classic bean bag chairs. With a revolutionary idea to include shredded foam in bean bag chairs instead of microbeads, they started their successful company. Since then, they have incorporated both foam designs and microbead technology in their bean bags with a variety of looks to choose from.

Below, we'll go through the details of their most popular bean bags and what customers are saying about the comfort versus competitors.

First, we'll go through their XL Fuf:
The Outside: The XL Fuf is one of Big Joe's most popular bean bag designs, with enough room for two people to sit comfortably snuggled or one person to stretch out. With a softer, squishier feel, the Fuf is reactive to your touch while melting away pressure points. It comes with three different materials to choose from with suede, synthetic union, or lenox (similar to denim) styles. These options come in multiple colors -- from grey, black, espresso, and tan type colors that will fit most living spaces.

The Insides: The insides of the bean bag are unique Ahhsome™ shredded-foam technology that adapts like a pillow to each individual.

What Customers Say: Most customers describe a fluffy, comfortable experience that occassionally needs to be refluffed by hand to maintain comfort. There were a few customers that reported quality issues with the covers and internal foam.

Next, we'll go through their Dorm Bean Bag Chair:
The Outside: The Dorm chair has a firmer, traditional microbead feel, but a recliner shape. It comes at a low profile for those that don't mind sitting close to the ground and comes in 5 colors or a zebra print design.

The Insides: The inside of the Dorm bean bag chair is filled with Megahh™ expanded bean technology that offers a firmer, responsive comfort.

What Customers Say: There are good reviews about the Big Joe Dorm bean bag chair. Some described expecting a different level of comfort than the firmer bean feel.

Next, we'll go through their Milano Bean Bag Chair:
The Outside: The Milano bean bag chair has a higher profile than the Dorm option, which is good for those that want to sit upright, but with the comfort of a bean bag cushion. These are ideal for individuals that are a looking for an affordable seat with additional comfort versus wood, metal, or plastic. These chairs have a variety of cover options with 4 colors to choose from. Synthetic union fabric, shag fur, or vegan leather are some of the most popular options.

The Insides: The inside of the Milano is made of packed Megahh expanded bean technology that provides firmness with a good amount of response and cushion to alleviate pressure.

What Customers Say: Most customers describe comfortable bean bag chairs, but there are some that had issues with sagging and long term support.

Next, we'll go through their Roma Bean Bag Chair:
The Outside: The Roma is an arched pillow like bean bag chair that is very low to the ground, but assists in laying or sitting on the floor. It has a firmer feel, which is good for those that want a bit of support along with the cushioning. The exterior cover has both vibrant colored options in a synthetic blend or suede.

The Insides: The inside is made of tightly packed Megahh expanded bean technology that provides a firm, but responsive feel to the bean bag chair.

What Customers Say: Most customers describe a comfy and supportive bean bag chair that is easy to lounge in. There are some that had issues with getting out of the chair and others that found the comfort to degrade quicker than expected.

Next, we'll go through their Media Lounger:
The Outside: The Media Lounger has a large cylindrical shape and a fluffy feel to the touch. Under a little pressure, it responds and molds to the body -- relieving pressure points and adjusting to your body. This is a perfect size for someone that wants to spread out or two people that want to cuddle up. The exterior cover comes in a brushed denim look in three colors, which will blend into most spaces.

The Insides: The inside of the Media Lounger is made of the Ahhsome shredded foam technology so that it will be fluffy and pressure relieving.

What Customers Say: Most customers found the Media Lounger to be comfortable and adaptable to most laying and sitting situations. There were some that had problems with the comfort / quality and found the bag lumpy.

Next, we'll go through their Lumin Bean Bag Chair:
The Outside: The Lumin is similar to the Milano with its chair-shape, which is ideal for those that are looking for an upright sitting position. It comes with synthetic blend covers in four colors or a camo print.

The Insides: The inside of the Lumin features Megahh expanded bean technology. It comes tightly packed with these beans for a firmer feel, while still having a cushioned support.

What Customers Say: The Lumin get good reviews from customers initially, but there were some that experienced issues with degrading quality over a shorter than average period.
