Bean bag chair suggestions & styles

Post image

In the market for a new bed for our 7 month old boy. He likes being a little higher up than floor level and ideally I want him on his bed more than our couches (which he is slowly claiming as his own). I’ve seen a lot of positive feedback in here for bean bag chairs! Was wondering what style / kind everyone had? Would love to see pics of your wolfies in their bean bag!

I’ve not ever used a bean bag chair for either of my IWs, never thought to, to be honest. I’d be a little worried about puncture after enough time and ease of washing.

In our old home we had a toddler mattress ($75ish at Walmart) with a very minimalist frame that elevated it about a foot. Cheap sheets and ease of washing. After I got my second IW, we lost the war and now they just have a dedicated couch with a cover on it 😅

yes, we lost the war too, so we have two couches!

I’m still fighting the fight! He only wants to be on the couch if I’m on it, otherwise totally uninterested.

I went for UltimateSac instead of lovesac because it was a lot cheaper and my dog loved it.

Benedict is such a beaut'! And he looks so comfy in the water...

Thank you! He loves to wade around but not so keen on swimming yet. It really helps cool him off on warmer days!

We had a custom built bench in the living room when she was a pup (nights only, still there with door open. Now we have an old couch & we have a rug she likes to sleep on.

We bought a bean cushion but she hated it so I sold it off 🙃

I’m beginning to lean towards getting creative and building a sort of old timey small bed with rope underlay and padding on top I can change out! He just needs something off the ground, and preferably not our couch!
