Love this chair! I will say it’s much more firm and heavy than a normal “bean bag” feel. I had never ordered or owned one of these types of chairs before, so maybe this is standard. I really like this feature because it keeps its shape and it’s very comfy to sit it. It’s also a nice size for children or smaller adults (not tall or above average-sized menwomen). Fabric is not soft feel, rather like a well-wornloved stuffed animal…I’ve seen some reviews that were expecting it to be super soft. I think this is better—easier to clean  manage.
