This bean bag cover is a really soft material! We havent put filler in it yet but I really believe that this will be great for kids. It seems to be a bit small for the average size adults but a very petite adult will probably do just fine. I am looking forward to stuffing the bag and using this in our family room on movie night. We are limited on seating so this is perfect for kids to plop down into. I would recommend this item.
