10 Moon Pod Alternatives That Are Just as Comfy

I’m a massive fan of Moon Pod. They’re comfy, ergonomic, multi-purpose, and lasts a long time while being low-maintenance.

But I also understand that Moon Pods aren’t for everyone. Maybe it doesn’t quite fit your aesthetic, or you’re not really ken on spending that much on a bean bag. Or maybe you have pet (or pets) that are going to (somewhat) ruin your furniture anyway, so you want something you can easily replace on a regular basis.

In this article, I’ll share a curated list of the top Moon Pod alternatives, depending on what you’re looking for when it comes to bean bags.

Top Moon Pod Alternatives:

• Cheaper Alternative: Big Joe Fuf
• Best Alternative: Yogibo Max
• Designer Alternative: Lovesac
• Bag & Bed Combo Alternative: CordaRoy’s Convertible Bean Bags
• Also Good: Ultimate Sack

1. Big Joe Fuf (Cheaper Moon Pod Alternative)

Why it’s a Good Alternative: The Big Joe Fuf is a bean bag with a patented memory foam fill. It’s roughly half the cost of Moon Pod with all the ergonomic benefits. The foam is super comfortable and if you find it losing its shape, all you have to do is give it a good old fluff.

Big Joe’s shredded foam tends to have a more substantial, enveloping feel than Moon Pod’s beads. It’s softer and provides a “sinking in” sensation that cradles the body. Foam-filled bean bags like the Big Joe Fuf generally feel more like a traditional piece of cushioned furniture compared to the more responsive and firm support you might feel with the Moon Pod’s bead filling.

Pros:

• Re-fluffable memory foam filling.
• Eco-friendly with upcycled foam.
• Variety of colors and sizes.
• Great pricing

Cons:

• Heavy and difficult to move.
• Foam can take time to expand after unpacking.
• Cover is not removable or washable.

2. Yogibo Max (Best Moon Pod Alternative)

Why it’s a Good Alternative: The Yogibo Max is the closest you’ll get to a like-for-like Moon Pod alternative. If you like what the Moon Pod does but not what it looks like, you might want to consider Yogibo (it kind of looks like a giant sack, so still not a traditional bean bag design).

Just like the Moon Pod, the Yogibo is multi-purpose. You can use it as a chair, recliner, bed, and couch. It contains frictionless beads and cotton-lycra covers, which conforms to the body’s shape and providing full-body support. This is similar to the Moon Pod’s zero-gravity like experience.

Pros:

• Multipurpose use (chair, bed, couch).
• Ergonomic, Body-conforming design.
• Variety of colors and washable covers.
• Good for sensory integration therapies.

Cons:

• Similar price point to Moon Pod
• Can be heavy to move around.
• May require fluffing to maintain shape.

3. Lovesac (Premium Moon Pod Alternative)

Lovesac offers a wide range of highly customizable and adaptable furniture pieces, including bean bags known as “Sacs.” They come in various sizes and are filled with a proprietary Durafoam blend, which is exceptionally comfortable and resilient. They also feature removable, washable covers.

However, Lovesacs are very expensive so this is probably not the best alternative if you’re on a budget. That said, if you do have the cash to spend and are looking for something that resembles more like a traditional bean bag, this isn’t a bad option.

Pros:

• Highly customizable with various arrangements.
• Durable and comfortable Durafoam filling.
• Washable and changeable covers.
• Well-established brand with a good reputation.
