Christmas Movie Marathons: Why Bean Bags Are a Must-Have

Movie marathons are a staple of Christmas. When it’s cold outside and you don’t have anywhere else you need to be, settling in for a friend or family film fest can be a brilliant way to bond. Not to mention to ease away the stresses of the year. But before you press play, you have to get your seating right. And bean bags can help!

Why Bean Bags are a Christmas Movie Marathon Essential

Comfort

OK, this has to be the number one indisputable reason for investing in bean bag furniture. It is supremely comfortable. Nothing supports your body quite like a bean bag. You might go for a couple of high-back bean bags for solo snuggling. Or a bean bag sofa for companionable cinematic experiences. Either way, you’ll be cocooned in comfort for the duration of your festive viewing.

Flexibility

One of the other great things about bean bags is that they can be arranged in different ways to suit your space. Whether you opt for classic bean bags or shaped bean bag armchairs, they’re lightweight, so they can be easily moved. They’re squashy, so you can cram a lot of them into a small space without impacting comfort. And you can change the configuration according to your needs. Circled in front of your screen. Around a table for board games. Or even piled high to create a fort for the kids (or adults!) to enjoy while you’re busy preparing snacks.

Versatility

Depending on the style you buy, bean bags can be used in a variety of ways. Pouffes and footstools, for example, can serve as footrests. But they can also double up as a table, holding trays of those essential movie snacks. And if you have any unexpected visitors, you can use your bean bag pouffes as additional seating.

Support

Vegging in front of the telly is never going to be good for you. However, when you’re using bean bag furniture, it can be a little less bad! Why? Because unlike other seats, bean bags mould around your body to provide proper support. This allows you to maintain better posture and avoid aches and strains.

Capacity

This is partly covered in the point above about flexibility. But bean bags can take a lot of people. You can squish more bean bags into a space if you need to. If you choose a giant bean bag, like the Mega Mammoth, a couple and their kids could easily pile on. While bean bag sofas, like the Albert, were designed to accommodate three adults and could easily take more kids.

Bean bag furniture was made for movie marathons! Providing the ultimate in cosy seating, it’s versatile, flexible, and so easy to move around. So, if you have plans for a festive film fest, why not make the best of it with some super snuggly bean bag seating?
