I sometimes get offered gifts from companies who are looking for reviews, but I normally refuse them because the items being offered aren’t very relevant to me, and I would only want to receive something that was genuinely something I would be interested in and think about buying for myself. I was recently contacted, however, by Bean Bag Bazaar about their gaming chairs. I was intrigued. I’ve always been a fan of bean bags. They’re easy to get into, but often they’re hard to get out of because they can be so comfy. Bean Bag Bazaar kindly sent me one of their i-eX Elite Gaming Chair Bean Bags and asked me to review it. I accepted, on the condition that I can give it an honest review.
It arrived a few days ago and I can say with confidence that I’m very pleased with it. It seems very well made and sturdy. One of the problems I’ve experienced with bean bags in the past is that they are often either over-stuffed or under-stuffed. If it is either of the above it can be hard to get comfy. I was pleased to see that there is just the right level of ‘bean’ in this bean bag. It allows you to sink into it nicely but also gives you the option to reshape the chair slightly if you want to be more reclined or more upright. That’s a real benefit of a bean bag chair, as opposed to a moulded chair. The added, matching footstool is a nice touch too. I certainly could imagine myself having extended video game sessions or watching full movies whilst lounging in it. I actually watched John Wick 3 in it last night and can give the chair the official thumbs up. It also passed the child test, as my kids both said that it is ’sooooo comfy’.
Here is some info from their website page about the bean bag…

The good news is that I’m also allowed to give one of these chairs away as a prize for my followers. This will be done on social media this week, so please do watch my Twitter account for more details. The prize would be the exact same model of chair that I review in this blog post and I’m afraid it’s only open to people who are 18+ and live in the UK.
