How NOT to use your bean bags…
OK, I couldn’t resist. This was just too funny and I thought you’d enjoy it…
The Blog Zone | Comment (0)Put the Foof Back In Your Bean Bag
Remember when you first got your Foof Bean Bag? It was so fluffy and comfortable and nice….aaaah. Since then you’ve been sitting on it, oh, pretty much every day, and now it is starting to look a little flat and lifeless. This is normal and there is a remedy for it, so don’t panic. The BeanBagZone Zonemasters are here to help! All you have to do is follow these simple instructions to “re-foof” your Foof bag, and it will fluff up over and over again. Check it out…
Bean Bags For The Sportsfan!
By now, you’ve seen our Sports Ball Bean Bags…they are bean bags shaped like your favorite sports ball. They are lots of fun for the bigger kids in your life — perfect for your teenager’s bedroom, the family game room, or the lobby of the sports complex. They are filled with “Foof” and come in the shape of a baseball, basketball, soccer ball, or football.
While those are great choices for the younger sportsfans in your life, what about the guy (or gal) who wants to drag a comfy chair up to the tube, grab a beer out of the fridge and a snack from the pantry, and sit down to watch the game?? We have the perfect option for you! It’s the fatboy FOX Sports bean bag…lightweight, incredibly comfortable, spill-resistant, and available in FOX Sports blue. It’s hard to describe how comfortable this bag is, because it really does sort of look like a large blue bean-filled blob when you take it out of the box. But there are so many options for seating with this bag. Think of it as a portable armchair, that you don’t have to worry about getting dirty! So you spilled something when your team scored…no big deal. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and you are good to go. The nylon cover makes it as simple as that!
We’ve just given away one fatboy FOX Sports bean bag to a lucky winner, and we’ll post their photos here shortly. We think you’ll be as impressed as they were when you see it in action. Score!
Fun with bean bags — Assembling your Jaxx and Zak products
So you’ve ordered a large bean bag from the Jaxx or Zak line…or maybe Santa sent you one this year because you were a such a good elf…and now it has arrived. You look at the box full of parts and you are wonder, “what the heck am I supposed to do with this?” Well, I’ll tell you that if we had sent it to you fully assembled, the FedEx driver would not have been too happy with us (or you), and shipping the bag would have cost as much as the product itself. So vacuum-packaging is a great solution.
All Jaxx and Zak bean bags come with instructions for assembly, but they do not include which pods go in which bags. Some of you eager beavers might have gotten a little too excited and you unpacked all your bags at once, laid everything out on the floor, and then realized you did not keep the pods of compressed foam together with the correct covers! Before you call us in a panic, take a look at the following list to find your bean bag and determine the correct amount of foam for each one. You can still call us in a panic, but maybe it will be to tell us how excited you are about your sweet new bean bags.
| Product | Pounds of Foam |
| 3-foot Sac | 25 lbs |
| 4-foot Sac | 32 lbs |
| 5-foot Sac | 41 |
| 6-foot Sac | 75 |
| 7-foot Sac | 100 lbs |
| 8-foot Sac | 150 lbs |
| 5-foot Lounger | 41 lbs |
| 6-foot Lounger | 57 lbs |
| 7.5-foot Lounger | 82 lbs |
| Zleep Twin | 25 lbs |
| Zleep Queen | 41 lbs |
| Zleep King | 66 lbs |
| Cocoon | 41 lbs |
| 5-foot Sphere | 41 lbs |
| 6-foot Sphere | 75 lbs |
| Sphere Ottoman | 8 lbs |
All foam comes in 8 lb, 16 lb, and 25 lb Capsules. So if your product calls for 41 lbs of foam, that would be (1) 16lb and (1) 25lb Capsule. If it’s a 57 lb item than it’s (2) 16 lbs and (1) 25lb Capsule.

BeanBagZone.com Introduces the YogiPoof – An International Sensation!
Every once in awhile we come across a product that is just too good to resist, and the YogiPoof is one of those products. When we first saw the photos we thought, “OK, another large bean bag. What’s so special about that?” But when we actually had one in front of us, we realized right away what makes this bean bag special…it’s unlike any other. The combination of high quality stretchy fabric over perfectly sized beans means this large bean bag perfectly molds to your body. No shifting around, no trying to get comfy, you just ARE comfy as soon as you sit in the YogiPoof. I watched a whole movie during my YogiPoof test-drive, and I didn’t move around once because as soon as I sat in it, I was exactly where I needed to be. If you knew me, you’d understand why the YogiPoof made such an impression. I’m a generally restless person, who can almost never sit still…always have to be doing something. So when I sat in the Yogi and didn’t want to move, I was sold on this product. There’s not a whole lot out there that makes this girl sit still.
OK, enough about that. Let’s get down to business so you can learn about this product via the Blogosphere. The YogiPoof was developed in Israel, where it is practically a household name, and it is now being imported for sale into the States. Its shape makes it so versatile that it can be marketed in many different ways. Prepare to be impressed.
OK, here’s the really cool part. You can turn this thing into a recliner, gamer, chair, or whatever you want it to be. Watch this short movie to see what I’m talking about.

The Blog Zone | Comment (1)Create your own Bean Bag Zone!
It was time to create a little chill-out space in our house that reflected our style and was easy to maintain. I missed out on the “before” photos, but trust me…it wasn’t pretty. A chunky loveseat and chair set, in sage green. They had seen many social events and accommodated lots of rear ends over the years, and they were starting to look a little weary. At one time, in the right room, they were perfect…and now it was time to say goodbye. So I didn’t get the “before” photos, but I do have some “during” and “after” photos. Here we go:
I began by clearing out the seats and donating them to the ARC. It was a bittersweet moment of sorts. Once they were gone, this is what I had to work with.
Nice! My package from BeanBagZone.com has arrived. A cardboard treasure chest filled with the ingredients for
a Zak Cocoon, a.k.a. The Napper. You wonder how they get all that bean bag in the
box and then you open it up and it all makes sense. The foam comes in vacuum packed capsules, and the cover and liner come separately with a little piece of green
paper and the instructions on how to work the bean bag magic.
Step 1. Unzip the liner
Step 2. Place the foam capsules in the liner
Step 3. Cut open the bags
Step 4. Remove the plastic from the foam
Step 5. Zip up the liner and play with the foam, break it up and spread it out. Be sure to twist off the child-proof zipper pull to prevent children from opening the zipper and getting into the contents!
Step 6. Wash, rinse, repeat…continue messing with the foam until you’ve got most of the big chunks broken into pieces
Step 7. Place the filled liner in the cover
OK, tip here…the foam creates a ton of static. So before you place it into the cover, spray the liner with some sort of fabric-grade static guard.
I also sprayed a bit inside my cover. The spray really stinks after you apply it, but it will fade right away. No static.
Step 8. Toss the blob around every once in a while to continue breaking it all up. Pretty soon, it will be comfortable enough to sit in…say 1
day or less. In about 5 or so days, it’s a full sized bean bag dream.
Step 9. Pair with a couple other bean bag chairs, dust off those plants and there you have it.
Your very own Bean Bag Zone. Enjoy.
