beanbag recommendations

Hi there, we have limited sofa space in our sitting room, so thinking of getting a couple of beanbags mainly for use of dd (a very tall almost 5y) and ds (3y).

I'd like something with limited trashability, so was looking at the indoor/outdoor ones which are water resistant but don't look very comfy, or the fake leather ones which look comfy but maybe a bit sweaty?

Just want something spillproof that can be wiped clean and doesn't look too cheap and nasty. Sadly can't afford actual leather. Guessing a couple of adult-sized gaming style beanbags will suit the dc's, as "kiddies" bags look as if will be outgrown very quickly.

Any recommendations for fabric/shape/companies - thanks.

I have 4 indoor/outdoor ones. I LOVE them, they're great!! Got 2 huge and 2 normal size. Wished I got 4 huge. Got mine off ebay, emailed seller and haggled for discount for buying more than one...

We got one from here and are very pleased with it. Fast delivery too.

That's the kind I got from ebay ... but I got a better deal. They're really comfy!

Thanks both of you. What does that fabric feel like?

TBH hard to describe! Looks and kinda feels just like normal cotton. It doesn't feel hard as you'd expect it to. In ebay, search gilda ... they're the ones I got, I got the giant beanbag floor cushions.

I would describe it as a thick nylon fabric but it is comfortable and warm to sit on, but can also go outside.
