Buying a Kids' Bean Bag — Guide & Tips
A bean bag for children is more than just a piece of seating furniture – it becomes a favorite spot for reading, playing and relaxing. In our category with 21 items you will find models in various shapes, sizes and materials. To help you choose the right bean bag for your child, you should pay attention to a few criteria.
Size and filling: The bean bag should match the child's height. For toddlers, compact forms (approx. 40–60 cm diameter) are sufficient, while older children need more space. The filling made of EPS beads (styrofoam) ensures adaptability and easy shaping. Make sure to choose a high-quality, dense filling that does not give way too much even after frequent use. Some models also use a mixture of foam and beads for more stability.
Cover and care: Children love to romp on their furniture – therefore the cover should be robust and removable. Materials like cotton, corduroy or velvet are pleasant and easy to care for. A zipper makes it easy to remove and wash at 30–40 °C. Covers with a water-repellent treatment are particularly practical if the bean bag is also used in the garden or on the balcony.
Safety:Pay attention to tested materials (e.g., according to OEKO-TEX Standard 100) and sturdy seam processing. The zipper should be child-safe or concealed so that small hands cannot reach inside. A wide, flat bottom prevents tipping and gives the child secure support when sitting down or jumping out.
Place of use:Consider where the bean bag will be placed. For the children's room, colorful models that brighten the space are suitable. In the living room or reading corner, a subtle, elegant cover made of velvet or linen look may be the better choice. If you want to use the bean bag outdoors, pay attention to UV resistance and a water-repellent surface.
Our product range includes round, spherical, and more classic bean bag shapes. In addition to the bestsellers presented below, you will find other models that vary in color, size, and material. Also note the manufacturer's care instructions – a well-maintained bean bag will accompany your child for many years.
Popular Kids Bean Bags
The round LANDSCAPE bean bags (65 cm diameter, 40 cm height) offer a generous seating area for children aged approximately 3 to 10 years. With their neutral color options in Sesame or Natural, they blend harmoniously into any children's room. The "Chelsea" bean bag in green velvet is an elegant variant for slightly older children or as a special accent in the room. All models impress with removable covers and solid workmanship. If you are looking for a bean bag that can be used both indoors and on the terrace, choose one with an easy-care cover. The presented products represent a good choice in terms of quality – they combine comfort, durability, and appealing design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is suitable for my child?
The ideal size depends on age and height. For children aged 3–6 years (approx. 95–120 cm), bean bags with a diameter of 40–55 cm are sufficient. For ages 6–10 years (120–150 cm), 55–70 cm is recommended. With the round LANDSCAPE models of 65 cm diameter, children up to about 10 years sit comfortably. Make sure that the seat height (usually 30–45 cm) allows ergonomic standing up. Older children are better off choosing XL or adult sizes.
How do I best clean the bean bag?
Most covers are removable and washable. Remove the filling (EPS beads) before washing – best to transfer them into a large garbage bag or sack. Wash the cover at 30–40°C on a gentle cycle and let it air dry. Avoid the dryer as the material may shrink. For stains, a damp cloth with mild detergent often helps. For the inner cover (if present), vacuuming with an upholstery attachment is sufficient. A water-repellent cover can simply be wiped clean.
Is a bean bag suitable for toddlers under 2 years old?
For toddlers under 2 years, we recommend special baby bean bags with a support collar or integrated backrest. Normal bean bags can be too unstable and do not provide adequate neck support. Always ensure adult supervision for toddlers. Once the child can sit and stand independently (around 18–24 months), a compact bean bag with a non-slip bottom is a good choice. The cover should be free of harmful substances and saliva-resistant.
Can the bean bag also be used outdoors?
Many bean bags are designed for indoor use. For the terrace or garden, you should choose a model with a water-repellent, UV-resistant cover. Normal fabric covers can fade or mold when exposed to moisture and sunlight. A quick solution: Use a weatherproof cover or store the bean bag under cover when it rains. Clean it thoroughly after outdoor use. Anyone planning a permanent outdoor location should opt for special garden bean bags with appropriate certification.
Other categories
If a bean bag isn't exactly what you're looking for, in our category Children's seating furniture there are several alternatives that may better suit your child's needs and preferences.
Children's rocking chairs promote balance and are ideal for active children who enjoy moving. They are especially suitable for children aged 3 and up and offer a calming effect through the rocking motion. Compared to a bean bag, rocking chairs take up a bit more space but are a great addition to a child's room.
Children's sofas are a classic seating option with back and armrests. They are perfect for reading, watching TV, or having visitors. While a bean bag can be flexibly repositioned and adapts to the body, sofas provide a firmer sitting posture. For children who prefer to sit upright or need stable back support, a children's sofa is the better choice.
Both alternatives complement the range of seating furniture and can be easily combined with a bean bag. Consider how your child uses the room and which furniture enriches everyday life. In the entire category of children's seating furniture, you will find further options such as children's chairs, stools, or armchairs, so you can discover the right seating for every occasion.
In a nutshell
In this category, we offer 21 children's bean bag models. The selection ranges from round, flat variants such as the LANDSCAPE to elegant velvet models like the "Chelsea". When purchasing, pay attention to the correct size, a removable and washable cover, and materials tested for harmful substances. For outdoor use, choose a weather-resistant model. In addition to bean bags, we also offer children's rocking chairs and children's sofas – depending on whether your child prefers to snuggle or rock. With these criteria, you will find the right seating furniture for your child.
