bean bag chairs

Floppy pellet furniture

Bean bag chairs are large fabric sacks filled with small polystyrene beads or foam that conform to the sitter's body.

Popular since the 1960s as casual, floor-level seating, they suggest a relaxed, informal atmosphere: The dorm room had nothing but bean bag chairs and a TV.
