Bean bag chairs are available in a myriad of heights, styles, and designs. Primarily, beanbag chairs have traditionally been available in three shapes, the traditional and most common round sack style, the teardrop, and the pear shaped

The teardrop shape, staying true to its name, is in the shape of a teardrop, round at the base while tapering to nearly a point at the top of the bean bag. This style of chair was most common in the 1960’s for those involved in the counter culture movements of the time. However, teardrops have recently seen a resurgence in popularity. Today beanbag enthusiasts consider the teardrop shape highly desirable, classifying it as an “elite”.

The pear shaped beanbag is similar to the teardrop style. The only difference is at the top near the point. The pear shaped style has a wider taper than the teardrop variety, simply put, not as pointy. Those preferring the pear shaped style often cite its general practicality and superior neck support to the teardrop.

The most common shape of beanbags is the traditional round style. This variety has proved to be the world’s most useful solution. Round bean bag chairs have seen usage as sofas, beds, and even board room meeting chairs. Currently, the round style is the most widely one available.

Generally speaking, the teardrop and pear shaped styles are more commonly found to be owned by beanbag chair collectors. However, the tried and true round shape is more favored by those who own fewer beanbag chairs.
