Jaxx Sofa Saxx Bean Bag Lounger, 4-Feet, Cherry

I bought 4 of these bean bag chairs, so hopefully my review will be helpful.Setup was fairly simple. I watched the how-to video they recommend in the instrctions. I followed the instructions and got the foam into the bag with less than a handful of mess/spillage remaining outside of the sac. And most of that reamined inside the vacuum packed bag it came in. So yay for no mess. One sac started to fluff up nicely almost immediately. After waiting the recommended 6 hours, I fluffed it, the foam broke apart perfectly inside the bag, and it was exactly what I imagined I was buying. If all 4 bags had been like this one, I would give it 5 stars.The other 3 bags were not great. For all 3, after waiting the recommended 6 hours for them to puff up, they were all still in the exact same vacuum packed cube shape that they came in (only now the foam was sitting inside the sac cover, instead of being vacuum packed). I spent about 45 minutes on each sac, running my hands over the outside of the liner trying to break apart the packed up foam. After doing that, I fluffed each one up and left it to sit for another day.The next day I fluffed them up again. Came back the next day (so 3 days had passed. Which is how long they ask you to wait) and they still aren't great. 2 of the 3 are mediocre at best. My kids like them ok. To me they feel like sitting straight onto the floor (I'm a 140 lb female). The last one was absolutely terrible. It looks like they only sent about 1/3 as much stuffing as it needed. And all of the stuffing inside of it is very hard. It feels like each piece of foam is still vacuum packed into tiny little foam rocks. Lol. It never fluffed up or exapnded at all.Very disappointing overall. I about 3 from the Amazon seller PlumStruck and asked that they send me 2 replacement foam cubes to replace the defective ones (one for the one that is absolutely terrible and another to split between the two mediocre ones). They said they would look into it and respond within 3 days. It has been 3 days and no response.Hopefully this info helps you. If your experience mirrors mine, you'll have a 25% chance of receiving a good one, and 50% chance of a mediocre one, and a 25% chance of getting one you'll want to throw away.On the upside, the liner and cover seem to be well made. So if you get a lemon you may be able to be creative on how to fill/use the cover still. But certainly not worth the price tag. I'd probably value these between $40-$50 for what you get. I will update and revise my review if PlumStruck ever sends me the extra foam to replace the defective filling I have now.(The pictures show 1 mediocre bag next to the defective black covered one. While the mediocre one looks ok, the foam is not very fluffy and smooshes right to the ground as soon as you sit in it. The one good bag I received is very fluffy comfortable, and supportive when you sit in it).Also, of the 4 bags I bought, there were 3 different liner styles. One black, one white and 2 transparent. It doesn't matter to me. But the white and black liners seemed to be better quality over the 2 see through ones.

Size is good and quality is definitely there. Washes up nice in your washer on delicate with cold water and low heat setting. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because this bag is sooooo over stuffed. They use shredded foam pieces rather than the traditional styrofoam balls which doesn't give it the bean bag feeling. When I sit in it it doesn't allow me to shift around to get the perfect fit the way the traditional balls do. I have to work at giving it a good fit. Its also kind of heavy. But other than that it's a good purchase. My toddler loves taking naps in it. It's actually large enough for a child to sleep over night in it. Love the colors and love the microfiber feeling. Was very impressed with the way they packaged it. Who would have thought you could compact something so big...lol. Takes a few hours for it to expand and you need to work rather quickly to get the stuffing in place. My suggestion, when you get the stuffing in place unzip it and then try to zip as much of the outer cover shut leaving just enough room to work with or it will get everywhere. The stuffing has lots of static so it will stick everywhere if you aren't careful. Nice purchase though.

I had high hopes for this bean bag lounger, but it turned out to be such a disappointment. Our first shipment only contained the filler but not the actual cover, so that had to be returned. Amazon handled that great, getting a replacement to us within 36 hours. When we received the second shipment everything was correctly included. I had read a lot of reviews about various challenges people had run into in setting up the lounger, so I read the directions carefully and did everything as it was directed. The filling comes in a super tightly compressed cube that is contained in a thick plastic bag. The instructions state to put the entire cube and bag into the liner bag first, and then remove the plastic bag, to minimize any mess. Then it says to zip it up and let it sit for 6 hours and it will expand on it own, continuing to expand for up to 3 days. We set it up and left, and when we returned after four hours there was no noticeable expansion happening. I had read reviews of others who said they had to go in and break up the foam manually to get the process going so I tried that. But it was very, very tightly compressed and after 10 minutes of work I had made little progress and realized I would be there for hours breaking up this foam manually. I still may have done it because I really wanted this lounger to work for us, except..........On the same day we received this lounger, we also received a bean bag I purchased from Pier one for my son's room. I actually bought it based on the advice of another review for whom the jaxx lounger didn't work out. The pier 1 bag was so soft and cushy and nice, and presented no challenges at set up. You just had to take it out of the box and use it. At this point the 6 hours had passed and looking at my disappointing cube side by side with my comfy ready to go bean bag made the decision easy. So I pack the cube up while it would still fit in the Box to return it, and ordered two more of the pier 1 bean bags for the house! The Jaxx lounger probably would have ultimately outlasted the other bean bag, but its just a bean bag....it doesn't need to last a lifetime.
