Anyone recommend a good quality bean bag or gaming chair?

randal · 11 Jan 2009 at 12:58

Having just moved the lounge around, quite fancy getting myself a high backed bean bag or gaming chair. I've spotted a couple on the various usual places, but nothing really jumped out at me.

They're either ridiculously expensive (£300+ for a leather bean bag?), ridiculously cheap which gives me doubts about their quality or hideously garish which will just give the bird ammunition to moan...

So ideally I'm looking for a dark brown leather high backed bean bag, or a dark brown or dark tan coloured gaming chair. Don't really care about extras in the gaming chair like speakers, plugs etc. It's just somewhere for me to perch while I play.

Any recommendations?

Cheers

Ah man I would feel like a dick if I had speakers built in to my computer chair lol

I'm looking for a chair though and thinking on this one from Argos

Its for my bedroom so looks alright and comfy enough. I don't really need a high back computer chair as I always tend to lean forward (yeah retarded!!)

I can't help leaning forward my posture is gonna be ruined if it isnt already hah

one vote for the omni

Cheers for the ideas chaps, all welcome. Those Omni bags are immense, I love the idea of them but I reckon it'd be a bit big for my wee lounge. Shame because that's a small price for a lot of bag.

Keep em coming, especially if anyone can recommend one they own. Cheers again.

My sister got me one of those gaming chairs for christmas, it's pretty mental to be honest; sub woofer in it is funny as it pummels your ass, rather sensual really.... but generally sound quality and the build quality of it sucks.

Thing is why are you paying shy of 3 days work for a beanbag? It's essentially the easiest thing in the world to make, get to a sewing shop and buy everything you need for under £10, you can even go mad and make a crazy one that looks like it was owned by Jafar. Or get an old duvet cover and stuff it full of as much old soft crap you don't need. Like more old blankets.
