What seating would go next to a fireplace or in a basement children’s playroom? I think ordinary chairs or couches are out of date so the first thing that came to my mind was the blow-up mattress that I always see on those commercials. I said to myself “No, those products are good for nothing, I won’t buy anything from them”. The next thing would be the bean bag chairs. I have always wanted one of those and never had one. As I searched the internet, I found out that the bean bags are not the only product from this category. There are the bean pucks, which are built similar to the bags, but are smaller, and occupy less space when not needed. Then we have the bean cubes, which are a little taller and offer some back support.

And to top it off with something different, I found some sort of cushion mats that can be easily folded to serve as a bed, sofa or a floor pillow. It looks very comfortable and it combines the form and the function in a very intelligent way. I might as well go for this one, and leave the beans for later.
