petetherock Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Hi friends I am planning on assmebling my HT room and a few bean bags will be nice but I can't seem to get places in Sg to buy the bag or filler, anyone know a few affordable places? Thanks P
Spunky Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 think so be able to find filler at places such as Spotlight. Harvey Norman shd have beanbags...ever saw quite a few at Millenia Walk before. The shop opp. Xaudio also have, IIRC! ;D
Jag Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Take note that polystyrene foam fillers are used nowadays. The issue about such fillers is that polystyrene is the same material thats used for heat and cold insulation. That means the bean bag is going to trap your body heat and will make it warm to sit on for extended periods of time when your body heat does not get dissipated away. Very soon, its going to get too warm for comfort. Also, very troublesome to fill them up. Go for recliners or similar from ikea. More comfy and can put bass shakers when you feel like it.
tbln Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 You can find a reasonable selection at Spotlight Plaza Singapura and there is also a shop somewhere in Bukit Timah Plaza that has a selection of bags and beans. Alternatively, if you feel like giving yourself a treat, check this out : http://www.snugg.com.sg/home.html
Quest88 Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 actually i like the bean bags at muji. abit more ex but v comfy. also got designer bean bags at this shop at park mall. comes in all sorts of funny shapes n sizes. :)
petetherock Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks friends I actually bought a Snugg shell in Australia, looking for fillings Went to Ikea, also found a chair or too that was nice, but slouching in a bean bag is so bohemian and reminds me of my student days :)
Norman_Chan Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Go Spot Light at Plaza Singapura ...selling the Filler at S$13.95 per bag ...they also have a few sizes and fibre pattern of empty bean bags for you to choose .....
petetherock Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks, I might also get the "Malung" chair from Ikea plus the stool http://ikea.com.sg/products/product_display.asp?id=832 Or this http://ikea.com.sg/products/product_display.asp?id=2261 P
Quest88 Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 I've tried both and think the Malung is alot more comfortable if you don't need wheels. But your choice. :D Its quite a popular chair used by a lot of people. One of my friends had the main pole of the Malung break though, cos he liked to rock his chair while sitting in it. haha
synthesis1624705793 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Yea I tried the Malung a couple wks ago. Agree that it's quite comfy.
petetherock Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks friends, I settled on the Malung chair for now, but I have trouble adjusting the height or maybe I am missing something and this baby cannot be height adjusted ?? I will look at the bean bag filler soon :)
petetherock Posted July 11, 2007 Author Posted July 11, 2007 Just went to this shop in B Timah Plaza, 01-01 and got filler for my bean bag 12$ a pack for the filler
sonofdbn Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Is the filler any different from the polystyrene foam used for packing things (like hi-fi stuff)? Could we just chuck that packing stuff in after breaking it into smaller bits? I'd guess that normal usage of the bean bag would soon break it down into acceptably small pieces.
petetherock Posted July 12, 2007 Author Posted July 12, 2007 As in all audio items, audition it and find out for yourself if small lumps of foam is comfy :) Is the filler any different from the polystyrene foam used for packing things (like hi-fi stuff)?

Thanks P wow... looks like no one's interested in beanbags anymore haha. I like mine! from www.getdoob.com it's huge, yet very good price, and it's great for reading :) they sell those styrofoam beans for cheap too so anyone who has a cover from overseas can try them.
Eric Teh Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Looks good ! How much did you pay for yours ? wow... looks like no one's interested in beanbags anymore haha.

yeahbabyyeah1624706005 Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Looks good ! How much did you pay for yours ? mmmm i paid $190 for the biggest one.. can't recall the dimension. and i got free delivery too. i bought from doob after doing some research and concluding that it had the best price to size ratio (i didn't want to get the small small might as well don't have ones ;) ) lucky me cos i would have spent 2x the price on a same sized bean bag elsewhere! hooray for the internet haha. (as i type this i'm curled up in it and listening to bassboosa... niceeeee) :)
