    Made to Live Outdoors

    An outdoor bean bag needs to handle sun, the odd shower and plenty of everyday use, so ours are made in quality outdoor fabrics chosen to resist fading and moisture. Coast covers, for example, use Sunbrella fabric that is UV-stable, fade-resistant and easy to clean. Please note that all of our bean bags and ottomans are sold as a cover, with the fill purchased separately. Coast covers pair with a separately purchased inner, available in-store or through our furniture consultants, while our MM Linen bean bags are filled with beans you supply yourself. A quick wipe down and a dry spot through the wettest of the winter weather will help yours last for many summers to come.

    The Brands Behind Our Outdoor Bean Bags

    Our outdoor bean bags come from Coast and MM Linen, both known for relaxed, design-led outdoor pieces. The Coast Marine Bean is a New Zealand design, with a cover made from hard-wearing Sunbrella fabric that is UV-stable, fade-resistant and easy to clean. Its inner has a waterproof lining, so the cover can be removed for cleaning or winter storage. Coast also offers a matching ottoman that pairs with the bean chair or bean bag, ideal for putting your feet up or as a casual extra seat. MM Linen adds relaxed, casual comfort in a lovely range of colours, ideal for lounging on the deck or by the pool. Each is chosen for its comfort, colour and how well it suits the way we live outdoors in New Zealand.

    Common Questions About Outdoor Bean Bags

    Do outdoor bean bags come filled?

    No, all of our outdoor bean bags are sold as a cover, with the fill separate. How you fill them depends on the design. Coast bean bags pair with a separately purchased inner, a single pre-filled unit that slots inside the cover, available in-store or through one of our furniture consultants. Our MM Linen bean bags are filled with beans you source yourself. Our team is happy to help you sort the right option for the bean bag you choose.

    Are outdoor bean bags waterproof?

    The covers are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. Coast covers are made from Sunbrella fabric, which is UV-stable, fade-resistant and engineered with built-in moisture resistance, so it handles sun and the odd shower well. The Coast inner has a waterproof lining, which also allows the cover to be removed for cleaning and storage. Our MM Linen bean bags are water-resistant and are best brought indoors when it rains and stored somewhere dry when not in use.

    Can I leave an outdoor bean bag outside all year?

    It depends on the bean bag. The Coast Marine Bean is made with a hard-wearing Sunbrella cover and a waterproof-lined inner, so it is well suited to staying outdoors through the season. Our MM Linen bean bags are water-resistant rather than fully weatherproof, and are best brought indoors during rain and stored somewhere dry when not in use. As a general rule, bringing any bean bag undercover in prolonged wet weather will help it last longer.

    Are bean bags good for families?

    Yes. Bean bags are one of the most family-friendly pieces of outdoor seating. They are soft, safe to flop onto, light enough for children to move around, and casual enough not to worry about. A bean bag chair suits a single relaxed seat, while a larger bean bag lounger gives you room to stretch out, and both make a great extra seat when family and friends gather.

    How do I clean an outdoor bean bag?

    For everyday care, a wipe down with mild soapy water and a soft cloth is usually all that is needed. Coast covers can also be removed for cleaning, thanks to the waterproof lining on the inner, making them easy to clean, air or store over winter. Removing dust, pollen and debris regularly helps keep the fabric looking its best. Always check the care guidance for your specific bean bag.
