Twenty years ago, bean bags felt like a design fad that might have run its course. Slumped and shapeless, they weren’t necessarily the height of interior style. But fast forward to today and bean bags are enjoying one of the most unexpected comebacks in modern home décor – thanks in a large part to Big Bertha Original.
The Highback bean bag chair from the Manchester manufacturer is a perfect example of how far things have come. From the moment it arrives, it’s clear this isn’t a novelty piece. Structured, generously sized and thoughtfully designed, it looks more like a modern armchair than the bean bags many of us remember. Once seated, the difference is even more noticeable. The high, supportive back and deep seat mould comfortably to your body, offering a level of relaxation that rivals traditional furniture - without the stiffness.
Comfort is where the Highback really excels. Whether used for reading, watching TV or simply unwinding at the end of the day, it strikes an impressive balance between sink-in softness and ergonomic support. With more people working from home or spending longer indoors, that kind of adaptable, all-day comfort feels more relevant than ever.
Versatility is another big win. Lightweight and easy to move, the chair can be repositioned from living room to bedroom - or even outdoors if you opt for one of Big Bertha’s weather-resistant fabrics. It’s ideal for modern homes where space is often at a premium and furniture needs to work harder. When extra seating is required, it can be brought out in seconds, then neatly tucked away again.
Aesthetically, this is a far cry from the bean bags of old. Big Bertha Original offers a wide range of fabrics and colours, making it easy to match the Highback chair to your existing décor. There’s also a sustainability angle that feels thoughtfully considered: removable covers can be replaced rather than discarded, and topping up the filling extends the product’s life even further.
Bean bags may once have been written off, but pieces like the Big Bertha Original Highback chair prove they’ve grown up - evolving into practical, stylish and genuinely comfortable furniture for modern British homes.
