What materials are the most durable for beanbags?
Look for automotive upholstery velvets, and thicker, more durable
vinyl that looks and feels like real leather. This is a commercial
strength fabric that is many times stronger than the thin plastic-look
vinyl found in the discount store, imported beanbags. The budget
beanbags can split at the seams after only 2 weeks to 6 months.
Heavier materials prevent ripping at the seams and withstand years
of use. When possible, choose 20 oz. vinyl, and 16 oz. cottons.
This weight is based on an actual single square yard of the material
measuring 36 inches by 36 inches. Don’t be misled by claims
of heavy weight fabrics that are based on a much larger “running”
yard of 36 inches by 54 inches These low-grade vinyls may also have
a very thick vinyl face coating, but a thin knit backing Such construction
does little to strengthen the vinyl. Knit backings give and flex,
which pulls at the stitching and can actually contribute to the
failure of the seams. Good backings are non-woven polyester, which
strengthens the fabric without compromising the overall strength
of the product.
