Drawing inspiration from the beanbag chair, the 'Sail Pouf' is a relaxing seat that will provide a laid-back yet supportive experience for those who partake in some time in it. While traditional beanbag chairs are designed with a fully undulating design, the 'Sail Pouf' takes a different approach with a supportive back for helping to cradle a person's back.

The 'Sail Pouf' features an exterior that's crafted using [soft 100% woolen fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one) that offers a more natural feeling against the skin. The interior of the relaxing seat is filled with 100% polystyrene to ensure optimal relaxation and comfort. It comes in a variety of different color aesthetics that make it a modern yet comfortable addition to any living space.
