Worn-In Water-Repellent Bean Bags

The Fatboy Stonewashed Bean Bag Seats are Already Broken in

— April 20, 2017 — Art & Design
The Fatboy Stonewashed Bean Bag seats are designed with a soft, rugged aesthetic that make them ready for years of continued use without having to wait for them to be broken-in to your liking.

The Fatboy Stonewashed Bean Bags have been, as their name denotes, washed with stones in order to ensure the 100% cotton shell is as soft and flexible as possible. This gives the feeling of sitting in a chair that has been used for years yet that is completely new.

The Fatboy Stonewashed Bean Bag seats come in a variety of color options and are purported to be dirt and water-repellent. The exterior shell on the Fatboy Stonewashed Bean Bags are able to be easily removed for machine washing.
