The foam has traditionally been the largest cost that goes into making a foam filled bean bag. As demand has increased, so has the supply, and the prices have steadily moved down. Close behind the foam comes the cover. These bags had revolutionary designs, new fabrics and oh, by the way, these big puffy things are full of comfortable foam. Covers can be made from microsuede, microfiber, velvet, leather and a variety of other popular furniture coverings. I remember the first time I walked into a Lovesac store.

Just like any industry the foam furniture business is controlled by supply and demand. The foam itself is a commodity that is largely influenced by the economy.

Well the good news is, the price on foam bags have come a long way since then. As I turned over the ticket to see the price, I just about passed out from the sticker shock. I was in the mall and there was this new store that sold really cool and extremely large bean bags.

There was no way, with my student budget that I was going to be able to afford one these babies.
