We have long wanted to buy a chair bag, but could not decide on a choice. Now there is a great variety of frameless furniture. Absolutely different shapes, designs, colors, quality. For every taste. Many people loved the bean bags for their convenience and practicality. Of course, because an ordinary chair is not so easy to drag, say, into another room, so as not to interfere with other household members watching a loud movie)
And here, by a lucky coincidence, our relatives were presented with a bean bag chair that absolutely did not fit into their interior and they offered it to us. We did not even imagine that such a miracle would settle in our house))
The quality is excellent! Cover fabric - micro velveteen. Very pleasant to the touch and easy to care for. We have a small child, often something gets dirty / spills, and so it wasn’t easy to spoil this handsome man, if you shake or wipe in time, then no spots will form at all. In addition, the top cover can be washed.
All seams are made perfectly, protruding threads and other defects were not found.
And these wonderful soft hands!)) With which he famously hugs a seated guest.
The shape of the chair is very comfortable and well adjustable. You can lean on your head like a back.
At the bottom there is a zipper, thanks to which you can easily remove and put on a cover (for example, to add or replace filler).
Inside is a bag with a filler - polystyrene granules. The volume is approximately 300 liters, there is no exact data (this is a gift).
The filler is clearly seated, but not very fast. When we just brought this chair, it was hard and deformed poorly. Over time (half a year), the filler decently “stumbled” and Zhdun became ideal, soft and comfortable. I think this factor also depends on who exactly will be sitting on this chair) We are all quite lightweight, so the bag did not shrink for a long time, we even rode it on purpose to make Zhdun softer. I suppose that soon there will be a need to add a filler, which, by the way, is freely sold in any quantity.
For our little son, Zhdun became not a piece of furniture, but a big soft toy) He just loves to jump on it and even makes him move it closer to the sofa when I read a book to him, apparently so that Zhdun also listens))
Of course, the chair-bag in such an unusual design is not suitable for any interior, but with us it has taken root in the children's room and fits perfectly into the situation.
Our friends are also interested in acquiring such Zhdun, so I know its approximate cost - 5,500 rubles.
I recommend a bean bag chair as comfortable furniture, and in the form of Waiting for fun people)
What it is?
The idea to create such a chair came from ... meme. Initially, Zhdun is an architectural sculpture, authored by the Dutch Margaret van Brevort, but the character became so popular on the Internet that he was quickly taken away by memes.
This pear-shaped formless gray creature, collected literally in parts - the head of the northern elephant seal, the body of the larva and the human hands folded on the tummy.
What is remarkable, the last moment is very important - since the artist so wanted to show how people look, forced to sit in line at clinics and medical centers, how long they have to wait. Zhdun was supposed not only to personify them, but also to please with his one look.
Zhdun received particular popularity in 2017. Memes began to be distributed with him (meme is a part of pop culture that became popular on the Internet in an instant), and after that they began to create various stafs and pieces of furniture including. Since Zhdun is a formless creature (and, by the way, asexual), then very soon the manufacturers realized that the soft pouf in the form of Zhdun would be very popular all over the globe.
Models
Armchairs in the form of Waiting have approximately the same design. These are soft frameless bags or pouffes, the seat for which is located on Zhdun’s stomach. Such chairs usually have the whole set - arms folded on the stomach can be made from plush or drawn, the muzzle can be both voluminous and drawn. In a word, Zhdun can be both voluminous and flat.
The sizes of such chairs vary from the smallest (90 centimeters in height and 60 in width) to simply huge (140 by 110 centimeters).
In general, a bean bag chair is not much different from a pouf or pear. Perhaps all these three options are the embodiment of coziness and comfort, but there are still some differences. So, for example, the pouf has a larger diameter and a greater depth of landing, the base and back of it are more clearly formed. The pear is distinguished by an almost complete absence of a back (that is, Zhdun himself will be, as it were, on the same level with his lower part and head).
The advantages of such chairs include, of course, compactness and practicality (they can be moved and folded into virtually any shape you like), softness and safety, which are especially relevant for a child’s room. A big plus is the fact that the chair bag retains the heat of the human body - it heats up and remains warm and soft.
Bean bags are filled with polystyrene balls. These medium soft balls are relatives of polystyrene, they are the same size and completely safe.
They are responsible for the shapelessness of the bag. A variant with a simple bean bag chair or pouf is also possible, on which you can put on a cover in the form of Zhdun himself. It is fastened with a zipper and worn as a regular case. It is easy to wash and can be changed at any time.
How to arrange in the interior?
The Zhdun chair is universal and will fit virtually every interior. It all depends, more likely, on the owner, rather than on the situation, since usually chairs with similar original images can take people by surprise.
In fact, if you look closely, you can understand that such a chair does not spoil any interior.
Classic version - gray Zhdun, - has a neutral color and can be made both from natural materials and leather, which allows you to fit it into any decor. With bright orange or green Waiters, of course, the situation is more complicated.
As for the placement itself, the pear chair or bag chair look best in the bedroom, living room or kitchen. They are comfortable to relax, just sit over a cup of tea or read a book.
However, they should not be placed near the table, as they do not have a very suitable shape and height for this.
Children will be especially delightedif they see a similar chair in their room. It will automatically become not only a soft spot, but also a new toy. Having bought Zhdun's chair in the nursery, you will kill two birds with one stone.

How to do it yourself?
If suddenly in your city there is no armchair with Zhdun, and ordering via the Internet is expensive, then arm yourself with tools (a thread and a needle, or better, a sewing machine) and create an armchair yourself. It will be a real exclusive. So, you will need: fabric (front and inner), strong threads, a needle and a sewing machine, filler (the same polystyrene foam balls that can be purchased at a construction or sewing store), zipper (its length is determined by the length of the product, but on average, is about 60-80 centimeters).
The facial tissue should be strong and beautiful, match the color of Waiting from your imagination. We advise you to look at suede, vinyl, artificial leather or fabric for curtains or for furniture upholstery. The inner fabric may be unsightly, but it simply has to be strong.
Now you can start the pattern. Take the paper and cut out the following details: a circle of 80 and a circle of 70 centimeters in diameter, a rectangle 260 centimeters long (it has a curved shape, so in some places its lengths are slightly different - look at the picture). Now transfer all this to the fabric - remember that from the inside we will sew the bag itself, and from the beautiful front - the cover directly in the form of Waiting. Therefore, you need to cut both fabrics.
Further actions should not cause you any difficulty - you just need to sew the parts of the product together (first, mark with a needle and thread, then go for a sewing machine). Sew a zipper into the cover, but do not rush to sew the bag, leave one hole for the filler.
Fill the bag with balls and sew it, shake well.
As for Zhdun, you can try to draw yourself his face and foot with special paints on the fabric or send it to the workshop, after showing the master the scale of the work (perhaps in this case you will not need to sew up the cover yourself. First check all possible options with pictures). The finished cover is pulled over the bag and fastens with a zipper.
