Moon Pod
Moon PodMoon Pod offers bean bag chairs that are crafted to mimic the feeling of anti-gravity weightlessness and can change shape based on your preferred seating position or activity.
Pros: Offers support and holds its shape, eco-friendly materials, built-in carrying handle
Cons: Some models are too small for larger adults
Moon Pod 's uniquely shaped bean bag chairs are built to support multiple body types and seating positions. Each Moon Pod is hand filled with high-density beads to replicate the feeling of flotation therapy, which purportedly promotes relaxation and stress relief. A soft cover is included with every Moon Pod purchase and can be removed and washed. Choose from five different cover colors including Neptune blue, rose quartz, and space gray.
I tested the Moon Pod over a period of several weeks and found it to be comfortable and easy to set up. Upon receiving your Moon Pod you'll need to put its cover on it, a process that is extremely easy due to the bean bag only weighing around 12 pounds. It takes a few days of sitting on the Moon Pod for it to fully expand and become more flexible. Overall, the chair is comfortable and provides enough support to work sitting up, but is still cozy enough for a quick nap. The Moon Pod can also be stored standing up and can easily fit in smaller corners and spaces without taking up an excessive amount of space.
Moon Pod also offers fun accessories to pair with your chair, including the back rest Crescent and the Lunar Lift foot rest. Extra covers are also available for purchase if you need a replacement.
What to buy:
The Moon Pod can be adjusted into three comfortable positions and is filled with unique beads that mimic the feeling of flotation. Insider Reviews home and kitchen fellow Maliah West tested the Moon Pod and was impressed with how relaxed she felt while sitting and laying on it.

Alyssa Powell/InsiderWhat's the best bean bag chair size for your college dorm or small space?
If you have a smaller space and are looking to add additional seating with a bean bag chair, you'll want to be very aware of the size limitations of your space. We strongly suggest paying attention to measurements when shopping and even taking the time to measure your space prior to making any purchases.
How do you clean a bean bag chair?
When purchasing a bean bag chair you have two main options, a chair with a removable cover and a chair with a non-removable cover. You can easily machine wash and dry a removable cover if any spills or messes happen. However, with a non-removable cover, you'll need to spot clean the chair, which may be difficult depending on the materials. Overall, if you're worried about having to clean your bean bag chair, we recommend opting for a chair with a removable cover.
What are the best materials to look for when purchasing a bean bag chair?
Choosing a material for your bean bag chair is mostly dependent on your personal style preferences. Fabrics like denim, sherpa, and velvet can add a stylish hint of decor into your space. Faux leather and nylon are also performance fabrics and can work great at repelling liquids and stains. If you're purchasing a chair for young children, we recommend prioritizing function over style.
How do you refill a flat bean bag chair?
Your bean bag chair may flatten after sitting and laying on it over time. Some brands such as Posh Creations sell extra beads or inserts that you can purchase to refill your bean bag chair if it's starting to feel deflated. Other brands like Moon Pod encourage customers to reach out to its customer service team if your chair has flattened.
