Living Room Bean Bags

The seating upgrade your sofa has been waiting for.

A bean bag round or armchair alongside your sofa isn't just extra seating, it's the thing that makes a living room feel finished. Our velvet and chenille armchairs are structured enough to hold their shape through hours of use and soft enough to never want to leave. Pair with a matching round or square footstool and a luxury faux fur throw from our accessories range for the full setup. Our customers regularly use them as reading nook chairs too, and it's easy to see why.

Go big or go comfortable.

If you're after something that makes a real statement, our velvet and chenille sofas are the answer. Plush, generously sized and available in a range of colours, they work just as well as a secondary sofa as they do as a centrepiece. For something more flexible, our cord classic bean bags and velvet loungers give you more freedom to move things around as the room needs it.

• Size matters: consider the space available and how many people will typically be using it. Please see the individual product for size information.
