Extra Mint Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 What does everyone here think about these bean bags in a shisha lounge, would they prefer it to chairs, sofas or what there lounges already use. Would you like to go and smoke out in a lounge where you would sit on one of these bean bags?

brookesaywhatx Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It would be nice until someone drops a coal on it and the beads go everywhere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They look comfy as hell, though. I may pick one up for my home use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Seems too informal for public use. I would feel weird sitting in a beanbag chair with straingers walking around. I prefer couches to beanbags in a lounge. If I had a choice between regular restaurant chairs and bean bags, I would choose the regular restaurant chairs.

Skoozle Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I just saw the second pic. That looks reasonable because it is raised up off the floor. I wouldn't be opposed to that in a lounge. Just not the ones that are low to the floor; I would feel like I was in an opium den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookesaywhatx Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They do look comfortable but I wouldn't want to sit in one in a lounge. Not to mention have any of you ever tried getting OUT of them? Its near impossible, think about the older crowds coming in! My grandma always said before she passed that you'd need to call the fire department to get her out of one of these.

vendetta_revived Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Have one of those at my place and I love smoking in it! I don't have the most comfortable chair either so I find the bean bag to be a hell lot more comfy. Would probably feel awkward sitting in it in a lounge though.

plasticmanzor Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I love beanbag chairs!!! I don't know if I would want to sit in a public beanbag chair though. Definitely at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sturdy as they look, from personal experience, I love bean bag chairs but they are a pain to get out of. Great idea, but probably too much a liability in the long run.

Pavo21 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 yeah wouldn't want one after a coal goes through it and burns a hole and yah they are hard to sit in for super tall people like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Meh, Im pretty tall too Pavo, and I feel really comfy in a beanbag! But in a lounge situation I Tihnk theyre a pretty shit choice, though I personally wouldnt feel weird sitting in one in public or anything the problem is they really can be quite tricky to get out of and repeating the scenario of clumsy person climbing out of a beanbag next to a pipe over and over every day = regular accidents.

Pavo21 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 yeah and like joytron said it would almost just look to tacky for a lounge, but yah 6'3 and getting off the ground is just annoying thats all, and your way under the coals if they get knocked your direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinx23 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 i perfer a nice sofa, my local bar has sofas with like built in wooden spaces to hold your hookah, as soon as that shop closes down, and it will. I will pick 2 up for my basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 They are good for home but what happens if a rat or mouse comes in and chews a hole in there and makes a nest! And then someone is sitting in it and then baby rats start crawling all over the customer! Ugh that would suck! Also its probably more of a fire hazard and hard to keep clean.

joytron Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I think separated rooms with floor pillows can look really nice though. Bean bags remind me of a place where I used to smoke hoookah that was a bit of a meth house, so that might influence my disgust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 There are these sofas and chairs that are actually cheaper than bean bags and are perfect for a lounge (or home). They're called "sofa in a box". Here's the US website: [url="http://homereserve.com/"]http://homereserve.com/[/url] They come broken down in a box and you assemble them yourself. You can go with sectionals which allows you to endless rearrange the furniture. An armless section runs only about $100. They're surprisingly strong - a sofa was tested at 1,000 pounds. Plus the individual pieces like arms, cushions, etc., are replaceable. And if you get the pet safe covers (a little more but worth it), they're even washable. I saw an advertisement for them a couple years ago and though you don't about them a lot in mainstream advertising, my friend bought her sofa from them and it's really comfy and great. I'm planning on buying from them as I redo my living room this summer and I'm going for a lounge effect at home so maybe they'd be perfect for your actually lounge.

Pavo21 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yeah we got a pretty good deal on our couches for our lounge. they are like futon but the center folds down and have cup holders and fold open and you get lots more seating, and they were pretty cheap and surprisingly comfy lol. i actually feel asleep on them working one day waiting for erica and jimmy to come back from the store. we paid 185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticmanzor Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Being 6'4" I have to agree with you. It's easier if you roll off first and then get up. Again, not something I would do in a public place.
