Fatboy Original Bean Bag, Dark Grey, Medium

I was very nervous about this purchase, because of how big everyone said it would be. They were not joking, this thing is very large - especially when you live in a very small (<900sqft) home. However, it is so versatile that the size hasn't been a problem. Some people said things like "you wouldn't want to lug this thing around the house," and I completely disagree. We've moved ours around a lot. It's light and easy to move.I had also been concerned about our cat destroying it, but as someone commented on my question, the fabric does not really entice her to claw at it, and when she did jump on it and started to slide, her claws wouldn't even grab on and she just kept sliding. I give it an A+ on quality, resistant material.There are some seating options with it that none of the advertisements or videos offered. I found my favorite option through a different company offering a similar style of bean bag. You stand it upright, get all the beads in the bottom as you can, tuck one corner at the bottom under the bag, and tuck the corner above that down into the center of the top of the bag. Hold up the back, top corner, and sit. It makes a tear-drop shape that holds you up very well and is perfect. I have found tucking corners in when sitting on it really helps give structure when I get settled in.I also bought it mostly to be used as a "whole room" ottoman. It's big enough that we can "fold" it in half "hamburger style" and shift the beads evenly to each half and it sits up perfectly as an ottoman for several different seats in our living room. I didn't see anywhere where someone was using it for an ottoman. Thankfully it's such an intuitive thing to work with, you can play with it just a little and figure out how to use it to suit your preferences.I give this product 5 stars for quality, versatility, comfort, and style. It's a great product and the price I paid (~$200) was just right for such a unique, versatile piece.

I first encountered the Fatboy beanbag chair at work. I was hired on and shown the office I'd be sharing with a fellow code monkey (or "Software Engineer" for you normal people). And there it was, just sitting in the corner. My first thought was "A beanbag chair, seriously?" - because we've all been there. They're fun to sit in, until one day they just explode on you. But fellow Amazon shopper, I tell you the Fatboy will not disappoint! It was only a matter of weeks before I had to have one at home.The sittability factor is great. This thing can be anything from a mini-mattress to an office chair. Whether you're sitting, lounging, napping...this thing has you covered. I'm also impressed by its durability. As it's in an office it sees some pretty heavy usage, and it's still by all appearances just like new. Even a heavy-set man can wander over and flop down on it without secretly fearing that it'll explode. These things really were built to last.Now, it is still a beanbag chair, and a rather large one at that. They can occasionally be difficult to climb back out of. Also, moving it from room to room might be something of a challenge due to its size and malleability, but I think they found a great balance. And honestly, if that's really an issue then you probably don't want a beanbag chair to begin with.If you're unsure purely because of the price, consider it an investment in a piece of furniture that'll be around for a while. It does cost 2-4 times as much as others you might find, but I assure you that it's 10 times better.

Absolutely amazing! This is one of the best if not thee best bean bag on the market.Pros:- It's huge enough for you to sleep on it.- The quality is incredible- Does not get dirt easily- Extremely durable- Very cushioning- Flexible (you can use it as a bed or chair)- Provides a lot of support when sitting on itCon:- If you have a small room this could take up a lot of space- Can be a little pricey but its worth it. The build quality is superb.Overall:I bought two Fatboys (one teal and one lime green). We used them for over 2 years and they still look and feel brand new. The foam beads have not been deformed nor have they lost their comfort. It truly is an amazing product and I would highly recommend them to anyone that want to buy an excellent quality bean bag. I know this is a little pricey, but it's completely worth it. Again, I have had them for two years and they have not ripped, lost form or comfort, and have gotten dirty.

Excellent bean bag! Wish the packaging was more thorough, though. Mine had several large black scuff marks from the gap in packaging, that I can't wipe off...

Awesome bean bag !

A lot of beanbags tend to be best used in a particular position but the Fatboy is a great all rounder given its size and durability. The bag itself is not made of cloth but nylon which should put up with a bit more punishment and be more resistant to stains and water (although I've not tested this aspect). Unless you are doing something crazy you won't get the feeling that this beanbag will explode spilling its beans in the general vicinity.After using this for a couple of weeks now I could honestly say that I could go to sleep in one of these beanbags as it is very comfortable and large enough for most adults. You'll not want to get out of the Fatboy once you are all comfy but therein lies perhaps the only drawback - it might be an exercise in itself to get out of it!Granted, this is one of the pricier beanbags on the market but the size and quality should see you through many years of use that should well offset the initial cost.
