This is what I’d call a classic, no‑frills bean bag done properly — a modest, single‑seat “sit anywhere” piece that actually remains useable for more than a few months.
What it is
A fully filled, UK‑handmade, rounded bean bag in a chunky polyester corduroy cover. Comes with filling included, free UK‑mainland delivery.
Fabric & Feel
- Cover: Chunky polyester corduroy — a smart choice. In the world of bean‑bags (and low‑cost “cloud couches”) I despise, corduroy excels because the wide‑wale ridges hide surface creasing and compression better than, say, cheap velvet, where every dip looks like a wrinkle.
- Cleaning: Spot‑clean only. Given the corduroy, that’s reasonable, though I’d expect a robust finish after repeated casual use.
Sizing (flat cover diameters)
- Small: 70 cm
- Medium: 80 cm
- Large: 90 cm
- XL: 100 cm
- XXL: 110 cm — note: this size requires self‑assembly.
Because this is a bean‑bag — not a structured sofa — the filled shape is fluid. The “filled dimensions will vary.”

£65.99
What’s inside (and what to watch for)
- Comes pre-filled; beans presumably polystyrene‑type (standard for bean bags), loose inside the cover.
- As with all bean‑bags, expect gradual compression over time — the “sinking‑in” effect.
- Given no specification of foam density (because this isn’t foam-based), the comfort comes entirely from the bean‑filling and how full the bag is. The corduroy cover helps with durability and appearance, but structurally this is not a “long‑haul sofa substitute.” It’s an occasional seat, casual, and mobile — good for student rooms, spare seating, games dens, or as a low‑maintenance spare seat in a flat.
Strengths & Trade‑offs (from my chair)
- ✅ Very easy to move — ideal for narrow London flats, temporary seating, or rotating rooms.
- ✅ Corduroy is a durable, forgiving cover fabric compared to cheap, shiny synthetics.
- ✅ Gives you the bean‑bag “free‑form” comfort — it moulds to your body, no rigid frame to fight.
- ⚠️ Expect “settling” over time: the internal beans will compact, reducing plumpness, comfort and support. Without a foam core or structured base, you’ll eventually be closer to “sitting on the floor than a seat.”
- ⚠️ Not ideal for daily, posture‑conscious seating (e.g. long laptop sessions).
Conclusion (my verdict)
“The Great Bean Bag” is what bean bags were supposed to be: simple, portable, and forgiving. If you want a nostalgic, flexible seat for occasional lounging or spare‑room use — particularly in tighter UK spaces — this is a solid pick. But treat it as a casual piece, not a replacement for a proper sofa (especially if you value shape retention over time).
