Giant Bean Bags and Bean Bag Sofas in Dubai: Sizes, Fabrics and Prices

In short: a giant bean bag is any bag over about 120 cm across, big enough for two adults or for one adult to lie flat. Adams Furniture makes giant bean bags and bean bag sofas to order in Al Quoz, Dubai, filled with virgin polystyrene beads in a sealed liner, covered in the fabric you choose, with prices from around AED 1,300 to AED 1,800 depending on size and fabric. Because they are made here, the size is whatever your room needs. Browse the bean bag collection or read the bean bags in Dubai guide for the basics.

Giant bean bag sizes

• 120 to 130 cm round or square – one adult stretched out, or two sitting. The usual family-room size.

• 150 cm giant – two adults lounging, or a parent and two children for film night.

• Bean bag sofa, 160 to 200 cm long – a long, low, backless or low-backed shape that seats two or three against a wall. The nearest thing to a sofa without a frame.

• Bean bag lounger, 150 to 180 cm – one person lying down; the indoor version of our Ibiza sunbed bean bag.

A giant bean bag holds a lot of beads: a 150 cm bag takes several hundred litres. That is why it matters that the beads are virgin EPS and the liner is properly sealed; a cheap giant bag flattens in months and sheds beads at the zip.

Bean bag sofa or real sofa?

A bean bag sofa is for lounging, not sitting upright to eat or work. It is the right choice for a TV room, a kids' den, a games room or a majlis corner where people want to sprawl. For a formal living room, a proper upholstered sofa still wins; we make those too, and our sofa fabrics guide covers the choices. Many clients pair the two: a sofa along the wall, a giant bean bag in front of the television.

Fabrics that work on a giant bean bag

Scale changes the fabric choice. On a bag this size a textured fabric reads better than a flat one. Bouclé is the fabric most clients ask for now and it hides creasing well. Velvet and chenille feel luxurious but show every press mark, so choose a crushed or performance velvet rather than a plain pile. Heavy linen and cotton canvas are the relaxed, washable option. For a bag that will go on a covered terrace, use Sunbrella; see our outdoor bean bags guide. Whatever the fabric, the cover is zipped and removable, and a Martindale rating above 30,000 rubs is sensible for a bag that gets daily use.

Weight and moving a giant bean bag

Polystyrene beads are the reason a 150 cm bag can still be carried by one person: a giant bag filled with EPS weighs 8 to 12 kg. The same bag filled with shredded foam would weigh three times that. If you want to shift it between rooms, beads are the only sensible fill.

Giant bean bags for majlis and family rooms

In a Dubai villa the giant bean bag often lands in the majlis or the family lounge, next to low floor seating. If you are planning that room, our guides to majlis furniture and Arabic floor seating show how to mix fixed floor sofas with movable bean bags, and custom cushions can be cut from the same fabric so the room reads as one.

How much do giant bean bags cost in Dubai?

Giant bean bags and bean bag sofas from Adams Furniture are made to order from around AED 1,300 for a 120 cm bag in a plain cotton to around AED 1,800 for a bean bag sofa or outdoor giant in a premium fabric. Prices vary with size and fabric. When it eventually settles, a refill brings it back to full for a fraction of the price.
