When it comes to selecting a bean bag, there are a few things that I will refuse to compromise on.
First, it has to be comfortable, otherwise what’s the point? A bean bag also needs to feel good, and have enough support for me to linger for long periods of time should I choose to do so.
After all, you want to enjoy yourself when you’re sitting on your bean bag. Otherwise, what is the point?
One (extremely crucial) thing that can impact the comfort, feel, and support of a bean bag is the type of filling. As we’ve covered in a previous article, memory foam is a durable and comfortable option that provides excellent support and comfort as it molds to the shape of your body.
Unsurprisingly, not all memory foam bean bags are created equal. High-density foam—for example—provides better support and is highly durable, but it might not be the best option if you prefer a softer feeling.
To help you find the right memory foam bag, we’ve scoured the internet (well, Amazon.com) to identify the best ones on the market.
Whether you’re looking for a bean bag for your living room, bedroom, or office, we’ve got you covered.
1. Chill Sack Bean Bag Chair
If oversized bean bags are your thing, look no further than the Chill Sack Bean Bag Chair. You can get them in various sizes—from 4 feet to 8, depending on how big you like your bean bag (and how many people you want it to be able to sit).
If, like me, you like it spacious and big enough for it to lie down on, the 5 (or 6 foot, if you’re tall) is a great option. Alternatively, if you want it to sit someone else (or you have a furry friend that likes to curl up next to you), go for the 8-foot.
Pros
- The oversized lounger is perfect for relaxing and cuddling with a friend or loved one.
- The shredded memory foam blend provides comfortable support that maintains its shape over time.
- The removable microsuede cover is soft to the touch and easy to clean.
Cons
- The bean bag chair is quite heavy and can be challenging to move around.
- It takes some effort to fluff the chair to its full size after unpacking.
- Some reviewers said they needed additional foam to provide the support they needed.
2. Homguava Bean Bag Chair Sofa
This avocado-like chair sofa is a great option if you want some of the bean bag experience but prefer the look (and feel) of a traditional sofa. Think of it like a sofa/bean bag hybrid.
This is also an excellent option for those of you who need more support than what a traditional bean bag provides. The back rest is ergonomically designed, so your head and neck can rest on it comfortably.
Pros
- The combination of memory foam and high elasticity cotton filling provides a soft but supportive seat.
- The triangular backrest and sizeable square seat are ergonomically designed for maximum comfort.
- The linen fabric cover is breathable, comfortable, and easy to clean.
Cons
- The bean bag chair arrives vacuum-packed and takes 24-48 hours to fully expand to its original shape.
- It’s an unusual shape, which might not necessarily fit with your aesthetic or decor.
- It may not be the best option for tall individuals.
3. Sofa Sack Memory Foam Bean Bag Chair
The Sofa Sack Memory Foam Bean Bag Chair is a fantastic option for those on a budget. Amazon reviewers raved about how comfortable it is, to the point that one reviewer takes the occasional nap in them.
Pros
- Plush and comfortable memory foam filling
- Durable double-stitched passion suede cover
- Versatile and portable for use in any room
Cons
- It may require additional filling for larger individuals
- Foam filling may take up to 5 days to fully expand
- Cover is not machine washable
4. Amazon Basics Memory Foam Filled Bean Bag Lounger
The Amazon Basics Memory Foam Filled Bean Bag Lounger is an excellent choice for a standard, no-frills bean bag. Available in various sizes, reviewers have praised the quality for the price point as outlined in our guide to the best bean bag loungers.
One reviewer did warn that once you sit down, it might be challenging to get back up (although I personally find that to be the case with most bean bags—memory foam-filled or not).
Pros
- The shredded memory foam filling provides softness, support, and longevity.
- The ultra-soft microfiber cover is durable and stain-resistant.
- Comfortable enough to lie down and nap
Cons
- The bean bag is heavy, so it may be challenging to move around.
- The cover is not removable, so you can’t machine wash it.
- The bean bag might take some time to fully expand after being unpacked.
5. ULTIMATE SACK 6000 Bean Bag Chair
If you’re looking for a bean bag that allows you to put your feet up (because who doesn’t like to do that?), then the Ultimate Sack 6000 Bean Bag Chair with foot stool is a great option.
The bean bag comes with a footstool, which you can use as another mini seating (for a kid or pet) or put in front of your bean bag so you can put your feet up.
One reviewer noted that it’s more on the ‘sturdy’ side (rather than plushy), so consider your preferred support level before purchasing this.
Pros
- The footstool is a great addition for added comfort
- Interchangeable outer covers make it easy to change the look of your bean bag chair
- The shredded memory foam blend provides a comfortable and supportive seating experience
Cons
- The bean bag chair is heavy and difficult to move around
- The memory foam blend may take a few days to fully expand and reach its maximum comfort level
- Some individuals might require more filling than what the product provides

6. Big Joe Fuf XXL Foam Filled Bean Bag Chair
If you’re looking for a bean bag that doesn’t go flat, look no further than the Big Joe Fuff XXL Foam Filled Bean Bag Chair. One reviewer commented that it feels like a ‘soft chair’, and one was impressed with the quality of the cover.
Another said that they noticed more support than a regular bean bag, making it a great option if sitting on traditional bean bags leave you with just a little too many pains and aches.
Pros
- The removable, washable cover is made from soft and durable fabric and comes in various colors to fit any decor.
- The patented shredded foam technology ensures that the bean bag chair will never go flat, providing long-lasting comfort.
- It comes with a sewn-in handle, making it easier to move around than other heavy bean bags.
Cons
- The bean bag chair may take up to 48 hours to expand to its full size after being compressed during shipping.
- The XXL size might be too large for some rooms or living spaces.
