The UK textiles industry is something we truly cherish. With our bean bag factory being in the heart of England in the Midlands, we deal with people and businesses across the land. We are proud of our UK manufacturing process, and we try to support British businesses whenever we can, including our high-quality array of fabrics.

Faux Leather

Made from a high-strength fire-retardant Vinyl fabric, our faux leather bean bags simply scream elegance without the price tag of our real leather bean bags.

They are also extremely easy to wipe down, perfect for those times when a jam sandwich or muddy paw print finds their way onto the bean bag!

Cotton

Our cotton bean bags are made from high-quality, upholstery grade, 100% Cotton drill. They’re the perfect all-rounder!

The cotton is very soft and warm, making it great to relax on at home. It is also extremely robust which makes it an ideal choice for bean bags in high-use areas.

Faux Suede

Our faux suede bean bags are designed to look and feel indistinguishable from real suede but have the advantage of being low maintenance, easy clean and stain repellent.

You can rest assured that the faux suede is very soft and will keep you warm during the winter months.

What’s more, the material has a defined grain which you can see when you rub the fabric in one direction, yielding a different texture and colour tone than rubbing it in another direction.

Faux Fur

All of our faux fur bean bags are made from high quality, fire-retardant faux fur. Fashionable and luxurious, these bean bags add a softening and sensuous texture to your home decor.

Real Leather

Our real leather is made from soft-grain Italian leather hides, providing the pinnacle of luxury and comfort.

The real leather range demands more from us as a manufacturer; each piece is made to order with an individual quality assurance ID number. Despite this, we’re still able to deliver a real leather bean bag within one week of ordering!

A real leather bean bag from GreatBeanBags™ is manufactured from high-quality upholstery Leather hides that are both durable and flame retardant.

It’s a natural product that, by its very nature, will have variations in grain and natural imperfections.

Although every hide is fully inspected before dispatch, these imperfections are unavoidable and are what will give your furniture its unique fingerprint.

How to care for your bean bag fabric

All of our bean bags materials are designed to be durable, but you may, from time to time, get some spillages on your new comfy purchase.

We recommend a damp cloth and spot cleaning; never bleach them, and never machine wash them either. Treat it as you would like any other piece of fabric furniture and you’ll be fine when caring for your bean bag fabric.

For more information, please refer to our cleaning and care guide.
