Living with beanbags.

For a reading corner, think about the lamp, a place to set a book and whether the seat leaves a clear path through the room. For movies or games, think about where the screen sits relative to the chair. Measure the intended space before choosing a size, and compare a product’s height and depth as well as its width.

Choose a cover for the way the room is used. Read its actual care instructions rather than assuming that a soft-looking fabric will be easy to wash. In shared rooms, think about who will move, clean and use the chair. The guides below connect design choices with published product details so you can narrow the options without losing sight of the room as a whole.
