Fabrics
All you need to know about Fatboy fabrics
Choosing your favorite fabric can be difficult, which is why we are here to help. At Fatboy, we use both natural and synthetic fabrics. Natural fabrics are made from 100% natural yarns, like our Canvas fabrics. In general, natural fabrics are not suitable for outdoor use as they are UV sensitive. High quality materials for outdoor and indoor use must be stain resistant, waterproof, UV resistant and mildew resistant. That's why we have a range of Olefin fabric bean bags are made from 100% synthetic materials. For the educational environment, our nylon beanbags are best suited, for ease of cleaning and the range of colors available.
Our beanbags are a beneficial addition to a classroom and library, providing a touch of comfort, flexibility and excitement for students and users. Now, make your choice.
