I see a lot of posts expressing disappointment from the sactionals but nothing on the beanbags. Am I just doing it wrong or are they pretty underwhelming? I bought the moviesac and let it expand for 3 days after rotating and fluffing regularly. It just feels clumpy and not nearly as comfortable as I'd hoped for a $1200 beanbag.
The cover is actually phenomenal and I love it, but the stuffing kinda sucks imo.
Any tips or suggestions to improve this or should I just return it?
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 own 2 LoveSacs. A CitySac (which has gotten heavy use) and a SuperSac which still resides packed up not opened in my basement. Wait for their crazy sales where it's almost 70% off. They're worth it quality wise.
The Sumo, Comfy and other competitors I've seen seem to wear too easily. Never pay full price.
I'm happy with my Sumo products. They've held up remarkably well.
I had no idea bean bag chairs suddenly became luxury items because you could get one for $20 the last time I was in the market for one. Now I am confused about what could possibly make someone pay the equivalent of a new couch for this item. I can’t bring myself to pay Lovesac prices for this—any good alternatives? Does the filling matter? It’s for a kid.
I’m interested in buying this, but it’s listed for 1000$, which is too much imo. Was hoping to get some feedback from others!
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!
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?
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!
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.
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 am just about to move into a new apartment and I am thinking of buying one of these does anyone own one and do you think it is worth the price tag?
This same thing happened to me when I moved into my apartment. There used to be a Love Sac store nearby and I remember sampling their $1000 'BigOne', but their store was closed down. As luck would have it, I found a local bean bag factory that was only 12 miles away and they made way better bean bags than Love Sac. My jaw dropped when I was able to get a Bean Bag that was the same size and better quality than the one made by Love Sac. When he told me it was $200, I asked him if he was joking and told him that I would have paid 5x that much for it. I'm writing this response right now my oversized bean bag and it's still comfortable as hell. I forget the name of the store I bought it from since this was several years back. I think it was a generically named Bean Bag Warehouse or Bean Bag Factory or something.
My point is, check out other vendors and see if there are any nearby. You might get something that is way nicer than the BigOne for a lot better price. Apparently, the LoveSacs are a big ripoff. Think of them as the "Monster Cables" of the bean bag industry, if you know what I mean.
Yup. I have one. It's now a thousand dollar dog-bed. It's actually really comfy, but it takes up a shitload of room and is a real bitch to fluff. The nieces and nephews love jumping into it too. Not worth the dough, but it's pretty awesome having sex on a giant marshmallow.
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.
Generally beanbags are frowned upon, was wondering if anyone here uses them. Reason im asking is i live in a studio apt and dont have space for a couch or loveseat thinking a beanbag would be a good alternative.
If you must have a beanbag look into Lovesacs. Same concept, but it's filled with better materials. I have a CitySac from them in my game room. It's good for playing video games in or just relaxing.
I am not going to say beanbags are good or bad. But if you are going to get one, don't get the cheap ones that tend to look terrible and deflated after about 6 months. I highly recommend the Sumo beanbags. They are high quality and come in lots and lots of different styles and shapes for most seating/lounging purposes that a couch or love-seat would fulfill. Also, on a lot of the models the covers are removable and washable to help keep it clean and not look like you picked it up at Goodwill for a buck.
Hi everyone. I have a giant 5 foot bean bag that I must shrink to move. I've seen videos and such, I don't think the shrink kit it worth it. So I was thinking of getting a huge plastic drop and wrap it around the bean bag. However, I don't know if my regular vacuum will work? Or would it just take a while to shrink it down. If anyone has any tips or suggestions please :)
