I need a listing of manufactures that supply, sell, and drop ship foam
poof chairs (Poof/Foof chairs are the large sack bean type bags that
come in different colors and sizes usually filled with Styrofoam beans
however; the ones I am looking for come with softer regular
polyurethane foam much they tend to retain there shape much better
then the small round beans) I know for a fact that one major
manufacture is in Grand Rapids Minnesota it will give you a good place
to start, but I need a list of all the current manufactures of this
type of product ? it must include the one from Grand Rapids ?

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 08 Nov 2005 09:31 PST

Hello summit_maker-ga,

Researchers are reluctant to answer any question that asks for "all"
of anything since you can't usually be sure that you got "all." How
many manufacturers of these bags would you consider to be an
acceptable answer? I look forward to your clarification.

Clarification of Question by summit_maker-ga on 08 Nov 2005 10:16 PST

As long as you got the one, in Grand Rapids Minnesota then you can
keep it at about 10,...Basicly what ever you uncover in your research,
no more then 10 would be fine...counting Grand Rapids Minnesota( this
is the most important one) if your search brings up more then ten,
just give me the ten and let me know roughly how many more seemed to
pop up, I can always hire your services later, to get a larger
list..if need be.

If you need anything. let me know...

Hello summit_maker-ga,

Thank you for the clarification. I had no idea there has been such a
transformation in the world of the bean bag. I found that there are
many new styles and shapes of bean bags made with shredded
polyurethane foam. I have concentrated on finding US or North American
manufactures for you.

I discovered that the Grand Rapids company you?re looking for is one
of the major players in this field. They?re called Comfort Research
and their Foof chairs are sold through many vendors. The other big
players are the LoveSac and KingBeany. As you requested, I found seven
additional manufacturers for you. I?ve also included some of the bean
bag mega-sites.

I trust that the information I?ve provided will meet your needs.
Please ask for clarification if any of this is confusing.

All the best.

SuperMixTM 

Our bean bag chairs are filled with SuperMixTM, the softer more
durable bean bag fill that is mold, mildew and fire resistant.

Our patent pending bean bag and soft furniture fill is now comprised
of a technologically advanced mildew/mold resistant polyurethane foam
and a dense double pass low VOC expanded polystyrene bead. The
polyurethane foam is dense yet water pours right through it. The
foam's large yet strong cells allow it to dry quickly after being wet
or even completely saturated with any liquid.

Distinctive Filling Material

Beanbag chairs aren?t really filled with beans. The soft, cushiony
feel comes from tiny polystyrene beads. We use 100% modified
polystyrene beans in tiny irregular shapes in all our beanbag chairs.
These tiny irregular shaped beans help our beanbag retain its shape
when you get up from the chair. Round beans just roll to the bottom
leaving the chair to look like a formless blob. Our irregular shaped
beans help the chair retain its shape and provide a level of support
not found in other beanbags.

Choosing Your Filling Material

You can choose to purchase your chair with or without filling
included. Most customers like having the ability to choose their own
filling material because it lets them get exactly the feel they want
from their chair. Many customers also like having their chairs sent
empty because it minimizes shipping costs. The chairs are so large
that the cost of shipping a filled chair can be expensive. It takes 15
cubic feet of filling to fill each chair.

------------------------

http://www.bean-bag-chairs.ca/buynow.php
Filling and Shipping Options (free shipping)

You chair will be shipped empty so that you can choose your desired
fill material. This is very important so you can get exactly the feel
you want from your chair. Filling materials cost about $20 per chair,
and can be found at most fabric, sewing and foam stores. We offer free
shipping on orders sent without filling.

Alternatively, you can choose to have filling included.   Click here
