The pink cover is removable, with a zipper along the bottom, and water resistant.

The faux fur cover of this beanbag comes pre-washed so it's soft and cozy from the start, and is machine washable so if your kid spills something on it just unzip it and toss it in the washer. The beanbag filling is made up of 50% recycled materials and the lining holding it in has been sealed to avoid beans spilling out all over the house.
4No Wiggling Necessary
This chair has all the coziness of a classic bean bag, but doesn't require the wiggling to get the chair shape just right. It has a more compact design, measuring 28.5" x 24.5" x 26.5", which makes it easy for your kiddo to grab the handle and drag it wherever they want to take it. The cover is removable, but requires spot cleaning because it's not safe for the washing machine.

You can personalize this bean bag chair by getting your child's name (up to 15 letters) embroidered into it. The cover is made from hemp fabric and is removable and machine washable. Inside, the chair is filled with a mixture of recycled and non-recycled beans, all of which are environmentally friendly and non-toxic.

9Sweet Little Owl
The best thing about this bean bag chair is definitely it's cute, soft, plush animal design. It has plenty of bean filling to make it good and firm, but if it's too much for your kid, you can easily remove some of the beans to get it just right.
10Fuzzy Big-Kid Chair
You can tell just by looking at this chair that the faux fur cover is soft, but it's also sensory-friendly and, since it's filled with foam instead of traditional "beans," it doesn't make crinkle sounds. There are two size options: toddler, which is meant for kids between 2 and 6 years old, and tween, for kids 6 years old and up to 110 pounds.

Your child will get the best of both worlds with this chair, because it is designed with actual structure and it's filled with beans to conform to the body. The removable, zippered cover is made from stain-resistant fabric that can be easily spot cleaned. It also has some fantastic key features including a spot for a bottle of water, a pocket, and a carrying handle.

The mudcloth cover of this lounger is hand-made, which gives it a "perfectly flawed texture" and a one-of-a-kind look. There is a zipper on the outer cover that makes way for the inner lining, which also has zipper access but is not filled (so you'll need to buy your own filling). There are three different size options, with the smallest accommodating anyone 5 feet tall or less. Just a note, the cover is spot or dry clean only.
13Classic & Colorful
It doesn't get much more classic than this bean bag chair, which comes filled with beans and has a removable, machine washable cover. You can pick from three different sizes depending on your child's age, and there more than a dozen color/pattern options so you're sure to find something that your kid will love.
14Two-Toned Jumbo Chair
This 35.5" bean bag chair looks like it will swallow you in coziness, but its structured design and perfectly packed filling will keep that from happening. Since it's a little larger than a standard bean bag, this chair is a bit heavier at 8 lbs., but there is a handle sewn on so your kid can easily move it around. The bright cover has a zipper, is removable, and machine washable.
15For The Sports Fan
Kids under 13 years old and 250 lbs. can cozy up in this bean bag chair with a baseball-inspired look. While the cover isn't removable, it is water resistant so you don't have to worry about spills.

Your kid would probably love their very own cozy spot to do some reading or lounging. Just remember, they are not easy for grown-ups to get out of, so if you're feeling nostalgic and want to test it out, do so at your own risk.
