With a growing concern about the damage that sitting for 8 or more hours in front of a computer can inflict on office workers, the need for safe, comfortable ergonomic office furniture has never been greater. Studies have shown that offering non-traditional furniture options for employees also helps improve company morale and boosts creativity. That's why so many companies have turned to bean bag chairs as seating options for their offices and work spaces.
Today's beanbag chairs aren't filled with tiny polystyrene beads like the bean bags of the past. In the past, bags or zippers could break and allow the plastic beads to leak out. Those old plastic beads posed an inhalation and choking hazard for young children, and could easily make their way into the sewers and oceans, where they pose a threat to wildlife, as well. The old beanbag chairs were not environmentally friendly, but things have changed.
Quality beanbag chairs today are made of comfortable shredded polyurethane foam - the same type of material that lines the cushions of many cars. The shredded texture of the foam allows the chair to accommodate any shift in position with minimal strain and effort without having to get up and reposition the chair. Beanbag chairs today also come in a wide variety of fabrics,
old seiko watches, materials and covers. Their versatility and comfort make them ideal furniture choices for an office environment. They're also very long-lasting and sturdy, and therefore far less likely to end up in landfills.
Many companies are already turning to beanbag chairs for their workers with laptops and tablet PCs. Apple is one company that has incorporated beanbag chairs throughout its corporate offices. In fact, there is a rumor going around that the famous iPad was invented by an Apple employee while sitting on a bean bag chair. Apple isn't the only company making the change, though; many companies, both on a large and small scale, are purchasing beanbag chairs and loungers for their office furniture. Traditional cubicles and office chairs have their advantages, but nothing beats the cushioning softness of shredded polyurethane foam that cradles your every shift in movement.
Comfort and safety in the workplace are critical to employee productivity, and many companies are turning to beanbag furniture as a forward-thinking seating alternative to better accommodate their employees' needs and health.
