Reasons for popularity

Interest in armchairs with filling has been growing for several decades. People’s need for comfort and relaxation after a busy day increasingly leads to the thought of acquiring such soft interior items instead of the usual furniture. The frameless chair was at the peak of popularity at the beginning of the 21st century, and there are a number of reasons for this:

Not a single frame product will allow you to get so comfortable in it: the chair-bag filler instantly takes on the shape of the body, so you can completely relax.
A family with young children should not be afraid that a lascivious baby will hit the armrest or other rigid structural element. On the contrary, in a chair-bag you can freely fall off the run without fear of injury.
A large selection of frameless products allows you to complement the interior of the living room, bedroom, children's room. No less organically they look on terraces, verandas of country houses.
The chair bag, despite its impressive dimensions, has a very low weight, it is easy to carry it from one place to another.
Having opted for Ikea products, the consumer easily complements the situation with new elements without violating the style and color scheme of the interior.
The popularity of the Ikea brand is explained by a guarantee of quality at an affordable price of the product, so the chair in the form of a bag from this manufacturer is the choice of most consumers who decide to introduce an element of novelty into the design of the apartment.

The main advantage of frameless furniture is the ability to relax muscles as much as possible and relieve tension.

Sleeping in bean bags is not worth it, and if there are problems with the spine, then you can’t. However, sitting in them for one or two hours is even useful.

The only drawback of frameless products is users consider the need to add filler, since the material is caked over 1.5-2 years of operation. You can fix this problem yourself, as foam balls are sold separately.

All models - pear bags, sofas, and ottomans - are made according to the same principle. They consist of the following parts:

inner cover with filler;
external - decorative, made of durable fabric, equipped with a zipper;
base is a denser material.

Some products are equipped with drainage rings to allow air to escape after a person is immersed in a chair, while others are blown through slots in the seams.

The filling of the filler in the inner cover of the chair-bag is carried out carefully. The balls are very light - one careless movement, and they crumble. It is quite difficult to collect them, you can accidentally inhale, so it is better to protect the respiratory tract with a mask.

Materials

The highlight of the bean bag is the filler. Expanded polystyrene granules from 2 to 5 mm do not cake, do not absorb moisture (you can use the product on open terraces). The density of the foam is about 25 kg / m3. It is enough for the material not to shrink so quickly, to hold its shape longer. In addition, granules with such a density provide a low weight product. According to fans of frameless furniture, polystyrene balls of filler retain body heat, which makes the chair bag even more comfortable.

The inner cover is sewn of non-woven polypropylene. The bottom of the bean bag is made of durable material that is resistant to mechanical damage. For external coating use fabrics with a high content of natural fibers - up to 100% cotton.

"Ikea" recommends washing the top cover of its seats at a temperature not exceeding 40 ° C, ironing in medium mode.

Strong and inexpensive fabrics are most popular for an external bag: flock, tapestry, oxford, jacquard. Genuine leather, leatherette is also used, in which case the furniture must be washed with a damp sponge.

The top cover is fastened with a zipper, the length of which should be at least 80% of the largest diameter of the frameless product. If the lock is shorter, it will be difficult to remove and put on the cover. The zipper dog is hidden in a pocket, which eliminates accidental injuries.

Colors

Thanks to the rich color gamut of fabrics, you can choose a chair-bag for any interior: organically fit into the main tone of the decor or make the original piece of furniture a rich accent. For a children's room, bright fabrics are usually chosen. "Ikea" offers chairs in red, yellow, orange, blue, shades of juicy lime or burgundy. More calm tones, for example, gray from the lightest shade to very dark, are appropriate in any setting. Contrast black and white graphics or a calm ornament in graphite shades are popular options for bean bags that add variety and comfort.

The bag chair is characterized by increased comfort and wear resistance, so every day it is gaining an increasing number of fans. So far, not all owners of small-sized housing can afford high-quality frameless furniture because of its dimensions. But residents of more spacious houses are happy to make cozy recreation areas with such products. This means that the growing popularity of frameless furniture will inspire developers and manufacturers to new models, a huge variety of shapes and colors.
