Bean bags - love or loathe?

[Phteven]

Loathe. I hate the noise, they're never quite comfy and they always seem to smell funny after a while.

LOVE! But filled with foam bits rather than beans. Much easier to fill, much easier to empty and no noise issues

Only with a liner so you can wash the cover. (but they still smell manky after awhile)

Loathe. They make me feel claustrophobic... it's like they're trying to swallow me whole. And the same goes for waterbeds.

LOVE THEM!

we used to have a beanbag couch! yes, a COUCH! it was so frikkin' awesome...ahhh falling asleep in that baby was bliss. but then we got a 'grown up' couch and i gifted it...dream of it still today...

my best tip is to keep the kitty kats of them. ours really liked to paw at it before lying down for a nap. so got a few nicks in it (not enough to cause leakage issues, but enough to annoy me lol)

Edit: mine was a vinyl number so never had the smell issues that others are mentioning...thankfully!

I Loathe them as well....can stand the noise and I find them just plain uncomfortable.
