In the UK, we take the term “putting your feet up” seriously, both literally and figuratively, and as a result, no living room is complete without a pouffe, ottoman, or footstool.
As bean bag specialists, we believe the bean bag stool is the ultimate alternative to these traditional foot rests, and one that offers a greater range of benefits beyond those of the humble pouffe and footstool.
It’s time to take a load off your feet, in style. Let’s explore the 5 reasons you should opt for a footstool bean bag.
Why Choose a Bean Bag Stool Over Traditional Alternatives?
Unparalleled Comfort
Unlike traditional footstools and ottomans, a bean bag stool blends sumptuous comfort and support, to offer you a more comfortable feet-up experience.
No hard wooden frame digging into your ankles. No discomfort due to the fabric not being thick enough to cushion the heels of your feet from your footstool’s wooden construction. Once you go bean bag, you’ll never go back.
When required, traditional footstools are also used as emergency seating at parties, family gatherings, and during the holiday season.
While your cousin might say they don’t mind being relegated to the footstool every Christmas, their face usually tells a different story once the discomfort sets in. By opting for a bean bag stool, you can not only relax in unparalleled comfort, but offer your friends and family the most comfortable emergency seating available. You’ll be making excuses to cut the party short, and get your favourite footstool back.
Available in a Wide Range of Fabrics, Colours & Sizes
Seeking out the perfect footstool for your home can be a tricky endeavour. Footstools are usually manufactured to accompany a brand’s range of sofas, and as a result, are often expensive, and available in only a limited range of colours and fabrics.
While our bean bag stools are the perfect accompaniment to our bean bag chairs and sofas, they are priced affordably (especially for bespoke pieces), and are available in a huge range of fabrics and colours, enabling you to match your piece to your existing traditional sofa and chairs, or create a bespoke statement piece tailored to your space and unique taste.
At GreatBeanBags, we offer our footstool bean bags in chord, velvet, faux fur, real and faux leather, and even luxury chenille fabrics to add a touch of luxury to any living room, and even brightly coloured woven fabrics, perfect for childrens’ bedrooms or play rooms.
What's more, while traditional footstools tend to be sold in a single size chosen by the manufacturer, we offer you the ability to tailor the size of your bespoke bean bag stool to your application and available space. Browse our range today and choose from four sizing options ranging from Medium to XXL.
Bean Bag Stools Offer Greater Versatility Than Traditional Options
Footstool bean bags offer excellent flexibility and versatility, not only making super comfortable emergency seating, as explored above in this blog, but making great comfortable chairs for little ones too.
Our bean bag stools make excellent space-saving seating for children’s bedrooms, playrooms, and are an excellent option for children’s parties. Larger sizes can seat 2 little ones.
Childless adults can also enjoy the brilliant versatility of these footstool bean bags by ‘going large’, turning your piece on its side, and forming it into a big sumptuous, ultra comfortable tub chair.
Available As Outdoor Models
At GreatBeanBags, you can order any of our products, from our flagship chairs and sofas to our footstools, in our indoor/outdoor fabric.
This fabric delivers the same quality and stunning aesthetics as our wide range of standard fabrics (and looks just as wonderful in front of your sofa or favourite chair), but can also be used outdoors, as and when the weather allows.
Our indoor/outdoor footstools are UV and water resistant, lawn-safe, child-safe, and treated so they can be easily wiped down to help maintain their appearance long in the future. They also make excellent garden party seating for when you're in a pinch.

Lightweight and Easily Stored
Unlike traditional footstools, ottomans and some pouffes, our footstool bean bags are lightweight and can be easily stored away. Simply cover them and store them in your loft space or garage. You can even remove the bean bag filling to store your piece away in the tightest of storage spaces.
No need to worry about little ones running around and potentially harming themselves bumping into your footstool, or trapping their hands or feet. They're child-safe.
No need to worry about simply reaching down and dragging your bean bag stool across your hardwood flooring. They’re lightweight, and don’t contain a wooden frame or legs, making them floor-safe.
