First, the ticking with the EPS beads is inserted into the outer cover. The zipper and the additional Velcro fastener prevent children from opening it unintentionally. In addition, the ticking is so robust that it does not tear through the Velcro fastener when being filled. The initial chemical smell dissipates over time and is harmless according to the manufacturer.
The beanbag offers sufficient comfort, invites you to linger in various positions and adapts perfectly to your body . In addition, the filling does not make any unpleasant noises when you move. If the filling quantity does not meet your personal requirements, the beads can be removed as required or refilled with a separately available refill pack. The size of the beanbag(140 x 180 cm) offers enough space to sit or lie down comfortably. The product can be used both indoors and outdoors. The outer cover is not only double-stitched, but also dirt-repellent and waterproof.
Customers can currently choose from 12 different colors: beige, blue, brown, dark grey, yellow, green, light grey, pink, red, black, purple and orange.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
---|---|---|
Price / performance ratio | Very good | 90 points |
Rating cut | 4.3 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 65 points |
Total | 78 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.3 stars. One criticism is that the beanbag exudes an unpleasant, chemical smell and that there is not enough EPS filling. Other reviewers, on the other hand, find the filling and therefore the seating comfort ideal, praise the quality and recommend the product. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the chemical smell dissipates after a while. We also found the filling to be borderline depending on the sitting position. However, this can be quickly remedied with a refill pack .
Prices of up to €300 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available from as little as €48. This puts the LAZY BAG® beanbag in the lower price segment with a current price of €69.90. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
