I expected a bean bag chair, but it's actually filled with shredded memory foam. It's very comfy, but the foam does compress over time and about once a week I have to stand it on its side and punch all the compressed foam that's smooshed down into the bottom of the chair to make it fluffy again. It's a decent chair for the price, and it is comfy to curl up in while reading or watching TV, and my dogs love sleeping on it. And it's so big, both I and my two dogs can all cuddle in it together!
