What to Consider When Purchasing an Outdoor Bean Bag Chair
A Weatherproof Cover: Before clicking "add to cart" make sure any bean bag chair you're considering is made with outdoor-friendly materials that can hold up to sun and rain without fading or molding. Not sure? One big clue is for "outdoor" to be in the product name, and the product's description will explicitly say if it's able to be used outside. All of the options on this list are both weatherproof and machine-washable.
Weight: The weights of bean bag chairs vary widely. The ones on this list weigh anywhere between 5 and 45 pounds, with many of them weighing between 10 and 12 pounds. Depending on who will be carrying it and how often you'll be moving the chair around, the weight could be a determining factor in which outdoor bean bag chair you choose.
Support: Let's be honest. We're not as young as we used to be and we can't sit in just any bean bag chair anymore. Any design you choose to add to your outdoor chair collection should have proper back support and be high enough for you to comfortably get out of without (too much) grunting and groaning.
Read on for the best outdoor bean bag chairs that'll have you lounging in style.
