An Introduction to Bean Bags Australia
ABOUT US
OUR BUSINESS IS
MAKING YOU COMFORTABLE.
In the beginning...
Bean Bags Australia has its start in a small family business called Foam Home, based in Osborne Park, Western Australia . Later on, when bean bags were incorporated into the business, it became Foam Home & The Bean Bag Factory. We have grown over 20 years in our experience with designing and making bean bags, supplying bean bags for both personal and business needs.
Originally, the business was a supplier of cut polyurethane foam and provided a covering service for chairs and bedding. But later an idea came about to make and sell bean bags with the skills that we had developed with covering foam and we experimented in many innovative ideas to think outside the square. With trial and error, the techniques of our manufacture were improved upon as our experience grew with every modification. Before long, we had developed a good reputation for the place to get bean bags in Perth, Western Australia. Today, Foam Home still cuts and covers foam as it did and The Bean Bag Factory still makes custom bean bags when it was started, but the focus has moved more towards bean bags as they have proven to be immensely popular, having not declined in popularity over all those years.
While we had been designing and making all our bean bags in-house, we felt that we could still improve on the quality of our designs by having them outside for us in a purpose-built factory with a larger range of equipment required. By chance, a customer came in to have their bean bags filled that they had purchased in Dubai. We were most impressed with the quality and design of these bags (the Comfy Chairs), we contacted the manufacturer and orders were placed with Relaxsit to try them out in the local market. Relaxsit, a furniture manufacturer supplying bean bags to many middle-east countries, are a household name in Pakistan, being sold in department stores across the country. The range that we bought impressed us with their quality and price, and we increased our orders every month for the next year. Eventually, the CEO of Relaxsit, a very charming and friendly Mr. Zia Saeed, came out to Australia to meet us and we struck a deal and partnership arrangement with him as the exclusive agents for Relaxsit in this region, which we still enjoy today. We have been importing bean bags from Relaxsit and dealing with them for over 5 years now.
With more Australians now being predominantly online shoppers, we are able to show and sell our quality bean bags to anywhere in Australia. This is why our company exists as an online store - to provide this service. We are grateful for every visitor like you who comes to our store, and we extend to you a warm welcome to Bean Bags Australia!

Early bean bag designs
A brief introduction to the bean bag
Nearly everyone has been introduced to a bean bag at some time in their life – for many of us, we may have been introduced to one as kid. Maybe someone kind once gave you the amazing gift of a bean bag that was lovingly hand-made at home. Perhaps today you still miss it ...
In the natural world of comfort, all animals (and humans) "bed down" on something soft and shape it to their comfort. The bean bag allows for this, naturally, as no other furniture can. It conforms to your body's shape and position, giving support and comfort where you want it. Another way to look at a bean bag, is not just as furniture, but as a kind of clothing that you can sit on. Because it is constructed to perform like heavy duty clothing, except without a part for your neck or tubes for your arms and legs. The bean bag material has to wear well like good clothing and it must feel comfortable. The only difference between clothing and a bean bag is that instead of sitting inside it, you sit on it, and this "external clothing" should look good wherever you sit. It should look as good in the space it occupies as clothing would look good on you.
The bean bag has come a long way from its early primitive form as a sack full of coffee beans with simple stitching. It evolved from a simple 4 sided, thin cotton, tear-drop shape in the 1960’s, and morphed into many amazing designs of furniture. With modern materials they can now be used anywhere and go with anything. They are portable and comfortable, and they last. The modern and convenient choice of seating is bean bag furniture. Our bean bags are constructed with specially chosen high quality fabrics for their ability to easily be kept clean. They are double stitched for strength wherever possible, and some are lined inside with Dacron poly-fiber wadding to provide an extra layer of comfort. Our bean bags are made in compliance to Australian Standards for safety by employing lock zips - and we even added a double zip for extra security and internal liners.
We have found that our original prototypes still look great today after many years of respectful use! Each of our bean bag designs has been through the most enduring field testing known to bean bag manufacturers, having been tested with kids continually giving them a workout on the showroom floor – and yet not one of ours has burst even with this kind of treatment (touch wood, cross fingers)!
