For anyone searching for extra seating or a cozy place to curl up in front of the fireplace, buy a bean bag chair. It's a fun, inexpensive way to add color and personality to any room, especially if a new loveseat or accent chair isn't in your budget.

And contrary to the outdated image you have in your head, our following picks go above and beyond ones you would find in a child's bedroom or kindergarten class. We're spotlighting well-designed styles that mimic the original bean bag, which was created in 1968 by Italian designers Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini, and Franco Teodoro. First called "sacco" (or the word for sack or bag in Italian), you can still find the initial chair on display at New York City's Museum of Modern Art.

Ready to basically add a work of art to your home? We've combed through tons of options and reviews only to bring you the very best bean bag chairs the market has to offer. Check out all the irresistible silhouettes we've found below—we guarantee everyone you know (pets and guests included) will want to sink right into them!

Need lots of space to stretch out? At five feet wide, there's plenty of room for laying out or binge-watching Netflix on the Chill Sack. It's made of memory foam and comes in more than 30 colors. Best of all, the cover can be removed and machine-washed.

Honest review: "This 5-footer was the perfect choice. It's honestly SO comfortable that I've already taken several naps on it and even slept through the night once on it. It decompressed pretty much instantly and did expand a little more on the second day..."

Gone are the days of thinking bean bag chairs don't add style to a space. This made-to-order buy from Etsy is stunning and can act as an elegant day bed for your cat naps.

Honest review: "I was looking for an adult beanbag chair to go in my new reading area and didn’t know what I would find. Then I found the perfect one. Love it. Well worth it."

For those interested in going all-in on the bean bag and making it the main seating for your home. Drew Barrymore's got your back with Yogibo that's like a couch and can seat up to four people.

Honest Review: "The bean bag was nicely wrapped in plastic. After pulling it out I automatically laid on it and it’s so soft! No crappy medicinal smell like other bags. It was very easy to put into a chair, lounge and bed position. My favorite part of this bag is that it’s easy to move from room to room. The other material is soft and stretchy."

Reviewers swear by MoonPod because it relieves stress and the high-density beads make it feel like you're floating. All in all, it's a nifty place to sit and relax.

Honest review:"I purchased this pod for my mom room, a place where I meditate and relax from the rest of the family. This is well worth the initial investment. This chair feels amazing. It cradles every part of my body. The beads provide support without uncomfortable pain spots..."

Patio furniture can be pricey, but often not worth the price tags since you only use it part of the year. On top of that, they're not always comfortable. Luckily, Trule's outdoor lounger from Wayfair is affordable and comfortable thanks to its backrest and polyester material.

Honest review:"Really nice and comfortable for the price. Definitely better than expected."

Get the most bang for your buck with not one, but two loungers. It's twice the comfort too, courtesy of the soft velvet cover and it's on sale for a limited time making it even more of a steal.

There's nothing more inviting than a faux fur bean bag. Available in several neutral colors, it's a trendy, worthwhile addition to any home.

Honest review: "The gray pouf is really cool looking and large enough to allow 1 -2 people to lounge comfortably. It takes some work to get the insert in the cover; it took 2 people to do it efficiently."

This chair's durable, stain-resistant cover makes it ideal for dorm living. Students don't have to stress about spilling anything on it and there's a carry handle allowing you to move it from dorm to dorm for study sessions! And there's no arguing with nearly 7,000 five-star reviews.

Honest review: "I needed a chair to add to what would become my reading corner. This is really comfortable and has kept its shape fairly well. I also love the cup holder and arm rests, makes for good support."

Add texture to a living room or home office with a shearling bean bag chair. You won't be able to resist lounging on it all day long and in case you're interested in other options, check out our other top sherpa-based recs here.

Bean bag chairs are comfy, but what about your feet? If you want to put 'em up, here's a purchase with a perfectly-sized footstool, all at a reasonable price point.

Honest review: "Don’t listen to all of the reviews saying there’s not enough filling or it deflates to quickly… they obviously are doing something wrong. For context I am a nearly 400 pound man; this thing supports me with no problem and never goes completely flat...Another thing, which is perhaps maybe the only con, is that there is a certain smell to it: it smells like fresh foam. That’s because they used furniture grade foam to fill this. The smell will eventually start to dissipate, but could trigger allergies for some people at first."

We found a small bean bag for your little ones. Although the cover isn't washable, you can wipe spills off with a damp cloth. Additionally, your child will love the bright neon colors, fun spider web designs, and other kid-friendly prints.

Honest review: "Great product. We use these in a preschool. It’s durable and cleans easily. It’s disinfected constantly and has never had an issue. It’s color stays vibrant."

Last, but not least, Crate & Barrel's cute chair has straps that allow you to adjust and use it as a bean bag or extra-large floor cushion. You won't be able to get enough of its versatility and softness as it's made out of 100% cotton.

Honest review: "We were looking for a cushion for our daughter's tent and were happy to find this versatile chair. Love that it can adjust, and it was a perfect fit for the tent."
