I feel the same to be honest about my supersac. I've sat on a friend's older one prior to purchasing, but that one seemed to hold it's shape for longer and be more comfortable overall. I've had mine for about a week and can't sit on it for longer than an hour without needing to re-fluff. I want to love it, not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

r/Lovesac on Reddit: SuperSac vs generics
February 5, 2022 -

SuperSac w/ footrest bundle is $910 right now. 5' Ultimate Sack w/ footrest is $164 (1st party site w/ coupon)

I can't reconcile the $750 difference, despite preferring the LoveSac options.

I know the LoveSac is probably somewhat higher quality and maybe has better longevity. The fit and finish is superior from images online. That doesn't make up the difference.

Any firsthand accounts and distinctions for LoveSac are appreciated.

A few years ago I bought a Comfy Sack for my theater, but it was killed by a flooded basement. I'm finally ready to replace it, but I see there are quite a few players in the market I hadn't seen before. Other than Lovesac (which I'm not willing to spend the money for), who makes the "best" large memory foam beanbag right now? Comfy Sack? Cozy Sack? Big Joes? Ultimate Sack? Someone else? Looking for a 6' one.

I had no idea bean bag chairs suddenly became luxury items because you could get one for $20 the last time I was in the market for one. Now I am confused about what could possibly make someone pay the equivalent of a new couch for this item. I can’t bring myself to pay Lovesac prices for this—any good alternatives? Does the filling matter? It’s for a kid.

I worked lovesac production while in college. They are legitimately BIFL. Most people get rid of them because they're over it, few get to be worn out. They used to have a lifetime warranty that they would honor as well. LoveSac is using closed cell memory foam which is one of the reasons they're expensive. It's the 40-60 lbs of foam (several lay z boys worth) and shredding and shipping it is not an easy process. Regardless of age, when you pick them up and flip them over a few times they'll puff right back up as if they're brand new. They can hold you like a chair without being up against a wall. The big LoveSacs require about 10 yards of fabric, heavy duty zippers, stitching, etc, thats to both to removable covers and to shroud the insert, which is the other reason they're as expensive as they are. If you keep it 10 years being able to swap out the cover can refresh the look as the insert is the most expensive part. if instead you're going for a traditional bean bag, small, up against a wall, or just want to stay cheap, or plan on throwing it away in a couple years, that's fine, but note the ones filled with styrofoam peanuts or anything similar: they compress and don't come back. If you intend to keep a cheap one expect little, or that you'll need to refill it over and over and over. I'd avoid it as it's a nightmare mess to refill, you can't shape it as it has the structural Integrity of sand, and cannot hold you in a sitting position in the middle of a floor The competitors to Lovesac used to ship you a half empty bag and another bag of filler and have you fill it yourself. Not sure if this is still the case. Tldr. They're spendy, but do deliver and can be shaped to act as a chair / bed / recliner for 10 years±.

November 29, 2011 -

Hey GV,

I live in an upper floor apartment with narrow stairways and no elevator. I narrowly managed to get a smaller couch in, and dont want to deal with the hassle of that again, so I am looking for one of the 2-3 person sofa sized LoveSac couches available.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good value option? It wont be moved around a lot, and a washable cover would be a plus.

Is it worth it to buy the original (sort of pricy), or are there just as good alternatives for a better price?

Thanks GV!

February 7, 2024 -

I’m thinking of buying a used supersac but my main concerns are 1: having to constantly fluff up a 75lb sack 2. It taking up a lot of space in my small room 3. The sac not being comfortable laying or sitting on for hours on end. Inadequate support overall.

What are your experiences with the supersac? I have a pillowsac and my back aches after a short time. Would you recommend I just stick with what I have? For anyone who believes in the supersac, pitch it to me. Why is it worth getting?

I've had mine for 15ish years. It was the first somewhat frivolous purchase I made. I have carted that thing across the country twice and moved it to a new home 8 times. I have sold all of my furniture twice but kept my supersac. It went kind of flat at one point and lovesac sent me a massive box of extra foam at no charge that did the trick. I have shrunk it down for moves and tied it up. Highly recommend shrinking if you have a shop vac. I have 3 covers for it and thinking of buying a 4th. A moving/outdoor one, the original black velvet, and a phur. It's the most comfortable piece of furniture I own. It's a pain to fluff and the less you fluff the less comfortable it becomes until you fluff again. I consider fluffing it part of a workout. Some people flip tires, I flip my supersac. If I can't fluff it I know I'm getting out of shape. I've used it as the primary couch twice when I was in a small space. I've taken so many naps and read so many books in it. I've had a lot of dates watching movies on it and have even taken it to drive in movies. I've had parties and had people pass out on it. I had one person throw up on it and a cat pee on it. (I removed all of the foam to deep clean it. Massive mess, don't recommend). I've had 6 people fit on it before. I've recovered from multiple surgeries on it as it's great if you need to keep your leg elevated. I've even ended a bad relationship partly over it because I realized the guy didn't respect my stuff or care about my happiness and never would (he's the reason the cat peed on it). I'm now happily married and The Beast resides in my office that doubles as my reading room. Still fluffs up perfectly and has no stains, rips, or smells. It is massive, and ridiculous, and heavy, and it brings me joy. Absolutely recommend lol.

It’s my most fav piece of furniture and the only thing I will sit on while watching tv! Mine is 4 years old and just needs to be fluffed once in a while! Worth every $

r/Lovesac on Reddit: Differences between Lovesac and Cordaroys?
August 26, 2021 -

Hey guys, I’m looking at possibly getting a Lovesac Sac. But I’m also exploring the Cordaroy Bean Bags (the foam bean bags that turn into a mattress as well). The main reason I’m looking at the Cordaroys is the affordability.

Has anyone owned both? Is the Lovesac worth it over the more expensive Cordaroy?

I’d really appreciate your opinions!

I had a large Lovesac for almost 20 years - best investment ever. When I got married, I bought a nicer cover, but other than that, it had been the same ol’ high-quality Lovesac. A year ago, we had to get rid of it because it took too much space in our small house and the kids needed the extra room in their bedroom. I was really sad, to say the least. We moved recently, and I decided to buy a Cordaroy instead for cost-saving purposes and the bed benefit. I regret it SO MUCH. The bed is awful. My toddlers even hated sleeping on it and chose the floor (they’re not ones to care about things like that). It was filled to the max for the bag chair - so hard you couldn’t even sit on it. I took a garbage bag of the fluff out, and it’s still too hard… you can tell the quality of the fluff versus the Lovesac, and it’s a night and day difference. Bottom line: Pay the extra for a Lovesac.

I got a corduroy and it was large and heavy. At remember but it was either the queen or full size bed. To take it out of the sac felt like a work out. To get it back in, felt like wrestling a beast. Maybe it would help if I had 2 people. To use it as bed wasn't that comfortable because the stuffing would move and I'd end up sinking to floor by morning. If I got a small child's size one, I think it would have been manageable but I regret buying it. Disposal was also a nightmare. If your going with an adult size, I would recommend picking a large place for it and never moving it around except to fluff back up.

r/hometheater on Reddit: Bean bag style seating recommendations
March 31, 2023 -

My living room is massive, and the couch at the back of the room is too far away to fully enjoy my massive LG OLED.

Wife won't let me move the furniture since, y'know, she's the boss... And her reasoning makes sense, our downstairs is open plan and having the couch at the optimal viewing distance is going to break that up.

Anyway, I'm the only one that cares to sit at the optimal viewing distance and I usually do so when she's not around and I'm eating cereal in my Y fronts..

So she's allowing me to buy a bean bag, or some sort of seating that I can store in the corner of the room or in the closet.

I've been doing some research and lots of people on here recommend lovesac, but I cannot get my head around paying nearly $1k for a bean bag.

Some people have recommended moon pods, but the reviews are iffy, some people love it, some say the quality is garbage.

The problem with all of these is that I'd have to buy sight unseen, and they all proclaim returns are on your dime (most people in the reviews quote $150+ to return such large items).

So I'm kinda stumped.

Comfort means a lot to me (I fucked my back last year, and had no problem spending a lot of money on a proper orthopedic office chair)... But at the same time, I'm also looking for a damn bean bag. So.. kinda why the lovesac seems a crazy price to me.

Hoping hometheatre can come to my rescue with some suggestions as I hate sitting like 12ft away from my TV at nights.

Also, before anyone suggests it divorce is unfortunately not the answer. I'm punching way above my weight already.

r/Lovesac on Reddit: Why or when did lovesac became so expensive?
May 30, 2021 -

Please let me begin this post by saying that this is not a hate post: this post is about being blown away by current prices. 10 years ago I bough a movie sac bundled with a sport cover for 230 dollars. It’s been the best piece of furniture we have ever had and I’m quite happy with it. Today a friend of mine finally moved to a bigger place and asked about my “bean bag, how much she loves it whenever she comes to visit and how she wants to get one” and I kindly told her “it’s not a bean bag it’s a love sac, and I paid around 230 dollars, bear in mind it was 10 years ago it must have gone up in price” a few hours later she replies with “2000 + dollars? Did you buy it used? No way it costs that much and you paid 200 usd” I could not believe her so I visited the page and to my surprise, she was right. What happened? I mean; like I said we love our movie sac but I’m not sure it’s worth 2000+ dollars Is it a different movie sac from the one I bought 10 years ago? Was the company sold and someone revamped it and jacked up the prices? Really curious on why the price difference

Thanks

I had no idea there was a sub for these things lol.

I just saw these at Costco online and was wondering if you thought the sac was worth it. Why or why not? Is the movie sac big enough for 2 adults (5'8 170 lbs)to sit in? Are these easy to return back to costco (more worried about it fitting into a small sedan)?

I live in a small condo but I don't have much furniture so I think I can make room. I am just looking for something comfortable to jump in and chill on, maybe even with someone else.
