Frequently Asked Questions - Using Your Bean Bag

How do I get comfortable in an ARICO bean bag?

To get the right support, it's important to redistribute the filling before sitting down. The best trick is to start by "resetting" your bean bag. Grab it by the fabric and gently shake it so the filling settles back toward the bottom. Then sit down in the centre of the bean bag and let your body naturally move the filling around you. Once seated, gently move your hips from side to side to settle into place and adjust the support until you find your ideal position. Depending on the model, move more filling behind your back and neck, then adjust until you reach the level of support you want.

Do I need to adjust my bean bag every time I use it?

A small adjustment may be needed depending on your position or activity. If someone else has used the bean bag before you, it's best to reposition it so it can adapt again to your body and the way you sit in it. Simply use the trick mentioned above: reset the bean bag, then take a few seconds to settle into the right position. The filling naturally moves with use, making it easy to adjust support for reading, working, watching TV or simply relaxing. ARICO bean bags are designed to be easy to use, but proper positioning is still essential for optimal comfort.

Which ARICO bean bag is best for reading or working from home?

The Ergo model is particularly well suited for reading and working from home thanks to its back and neck support and higher seating position. It's also easier to get up from this model. The Classic offers a more versatile seating position, while the Lounge is designed more for reclining and longer periods of relaxation.

Why doesn't my bean bag feel comfortable as soon as I sit down?

A bean bag is not a chair or a rigid armchair. Because it is filled with millions of microbeads, it can mould itself to the person sitting in it. Once properly positioned, the filling naturally conforms to your body and helps maintain the position you've chosen, even for longer periods.

Because there is no rigid wood or metal frame, you do need to take a few seconds to position the bean bag properly before sitting down. This step allows the bean bag to form correctly around your body and provide the level of support you're looking for.

Enjoy the comfort!
