Fatboy – The Versatile And Trendy Seating Option
You have decided to furnish your drawing room and you want something that acts as a sofa, doubles up as a recliner and sometimes could be used as a bed as well. You want something that is comfortable, trendy and hip, while not looking out of place at all. Welcome to the world of Fatboy seating. A Fatboy is an oversized version of a bean bag – but it scores better than bean bags in many ways.
The Fatboy was designed by Jukka Setala of Finland in 1998, as the modern version of the bean bag. A Fatboy is made from either polyester or nylon, and has a PVC coating around it to make it water & stain resistant, which makes cleaning it no hassle at all. It is filled with virgin polystyrene beads that make for the ultimate seating and lounging experience. Why should you prefer a Fatboy over a bean bag? Well, the Fatboy is a bean bag in the conventional sense and it retains all its features like ergonomic value, flexibility, durability and easy maintenance too. However, it shoots past the bean bag in usability. While the traditional beanbags were stylised chairs, in essence the Fatboy is a stylised chair, bed and bean bag put together.
You could use it as a couch to laze on, and beat the fatigue after a tiring day at work – or you could use it as a two seater to watch movies or play video games and have a great time with your partner. Unlike bean bags, they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes to meet the preference of all and sundry. Since the Fatboy is ergonomic, it changes shape to conform to the shape of your body. This is especially useful for people who have joint or lower back problems, and it helps avoid the discomfort that you can face with conventional chairs.
There is also the junior Fatboy range that is specifically designed for children’s rooms. Kids can use the Fatboy as a chair while doing home work, watching TV or playing board or video games and it can also double up as a mattress for them to catch a quick nap. It protects their backs and necks, and helps avoid the postural problems that they could face when using conventionally styled furniture. Made up of kid-resistant nylon, Fatboys are easy to clean and parents do not have to worry about dangers of strangulation that traditional bean bags pose.
Not to be left behind, even pets can have their own pet Fatboys. These are the best options for your pet if you keep them inside your house. Your pet may actually prefer the comfort of the Fatboy to your bed, so you can finally have all the bed space that you can use. Fatboys are chic, stylish and extremely comfortable. They are available in a variety of colours so you can match it to the décor in your living room or bedroom or even your children’s room, and enjoy the comfort they offer for a lifetime.
