RAMP For PETS
Replace ugly staircase-like ramps that take up too much space with a bean bag.  Use it as a stepping up/down pad for your old and small pets. Just place one or more bean bag chairs next to your bed or sofa to give your pets a boost up or a soft landing pad for jumping down. This helps prevent injury, especially when jumping from a high surface to a slippery hardwood floor.  Bean bags are easier to put away and hide than a ramp when it's not being used, just store in a closet.  Please do not encourage this type of use for children, though, they tend to be less careful than pets when jumping up and down on bean bags.  Of course, use caution and common sense with all uses of bean bags.

SEATS for VIDEO GAMES
The perfect chair for playing games.  Bean bags are low to the floor and allow you to change position without having to get up.   Gamers can move around and actively play without falling off their chair.  Bean bag chairs get your child off the floor, and provide more structure than a a pillow.  Plus, they're easy to put away when not being used.

AIDS for THERAPY
Some of our customers have reported that their occupational therapists suggested they use bean bags for their children with sensory integration problems. Children find bean bag chairs to be a safe, comforting place that they can call their own.  People in casts also benefit from bean bags by using them as soft, moldable supports.

NEST for PETS
Generally, animals love to nest.  Bean bag chairs provide the soft, moldability needed for pets to "dig out" a nest.  You know, when your pet starts to scratch around and turn in circles, he's making a nest.  Plus, with washable covers and water-repellant liners, your pet can drool and you won't have to worry!

SUPPORT for YOUR BACK
Bean bag chairs can be propped up against a wall, bed, headboard, or sofa to provide more back support.  Great in bed watching TV or reading!

EASY DO-IT-YOURSELF INTERIOR DECORATING
bean bag chairs can add a quick and simple touch of design to offices and homes. Ahh bean bag chairs are perfect for designing because they come in many prints, textures, colors, and sizes that will suit any decor.  Turn a boring child's room into a fun, quirky room with a whimisical print bean bag.  Turn a drab living room into a fancy one with a home decor print bean bag.  Turn an outdated family room into a more contemporary one with an urban print bean bag.  Pile coordinated colored bean bags into a playroom and turn it into an inviting kid heaven! 

Or, send us fabric and we'll custom make a bean bag that will perfectly match your home. A bean bag chair that matches your bed spread, throw pillows, and drapery - how fabulous!  Your home will be so upscale!

EXTRA SEATS IN A PINCH
Have bean bag chairs stored away in a closet and pull them out when you have more guests than seats!  Wouldn't that be a fun surprise for everyone!  Pictionary or a board game on bean bags, how fun!

BASE for TABLES
A professional party planner used our bean bags as table base supports at a black-tie gala! She placed clear glass rounds on top of the bean bag chairs, with the bean bags centered underneath.  Her guests were delighted in the innovative concept and how they could see the colored bean bags through the glass.  A champagne bottle was also placed in the center, nested between the bean bag and the glass.  Try that with your own twist, perhaps instead of a bottle it could be a toy or stuffed animal for kids.  Or, dried flowers.  Or a model airplane or car.

NEW COVERS TO UPDATE DECOR
Change the cover of your bean bag to give it a fresh, new look. No need to have many bean bags, just update the one you have. All AHH bean bag styles can be purchased as a cover separately!  Surprise your family with "new" bean bags every year!  Make it a yearly tradition to treat the family!

SUPPORT IN BED
Put a bean bag chair in bed to watch TV or read. Place it behind your back for more support than a regular pillow.  Bean bags are also more moldable, so you can adjust the chair to make it fit perfectly.

CHAISE
Combine mulitple bean bags to create a lounger. If your sofa is too small or uncomfortable, try this!  Plus, bean bags are more portable than a big sofa!
