What is the best bean bag for adults in South Africa?
A medium (±120cm) or large (±160cm) foam-filled bean bag. Foam chip filling supports an adult's back properly and doesn't flatten like polystyrene balls. Every Shloomfy has a dual function — upright for sitting, flatter for reclining.
What are Shloomfy bean bags filled with?
A specially formulated foam chip recipe — no beans, no polystyrene balls. The foam moulds to your body, supports you, and recovers its shape, so your Shloomfy never goes flat. A large Shloomfy weighs 28–30kg — that weight is foam, and foam is support.
Do bean bags go flat?
Polystyrene-filled bean bags do — the beads crush and compact with use. Shloomfy's foam chip filling is designed to recover its puffiness every time, no matter how often you dive in. No topping up, ever.
Can I use a bean bag outside?
Only if it's made for it. Our Patio range is covered in weather-resistant, waterproof fabric built for undercover patios, pool decks and sunrooms. Standard indoor fabrics fade and perish outdoors.
What size bean bag should I buy?
Small (±90cm, 9–10kg) suits kids; Medium (±120cm, 16–18kg) is the adult favourite; Large (±160cm, 28–30kg) replaces an armchair. Most size regrets are buying too small. See the size guide.
Do you make bean bags for pets?
Yes — foam-filled pet beds in corduroy, denim and faux fur with zip-off machine-washable covers, in two sizes for cats and dogs. See the Pet Range.
Can I get a custom fabric or branded bean bag?
Yes. Send us your own fabric for a one-of-a-kind Shloomfy, or have a name or company logo embroidered — popular with lodges, offices and gifting. Customise here.
How much does a quality bean bag cost in South Africa?
Quality foam-filled bean bags run roughly R2,300–R7,900 depending on size and fabric. Shloomfy beanbags start at R2,360 (small denim) with free delivery to all major SA centres — and replacement covers let the same bag last for many years.
