This bean bag has been awesome. It's big enough for my husband and I to both relax on, and still fit our small dog without being crowded. The dog thinks it's a giant dog bed and spends most of her day on it.We went with this instead of a couch. I can't say we regret the decision, but it is a lot more upkeep than your average couch. It's heavy, and you have to flip it around all the time.The biggest problem we had with it was simply unpacking it. It came vacuum sealed in a cloth cover and a plastic bag. The plastic got stuck in the zipper of the fabric cover and broke the zipper. We spent an hour or so just trying to dig it out. It also took a while to break up all the foam I side. After that though, I would say it fluffed up nicely in a couple of days.The only other downside is launching things. If you leave a controller or something on it, and then plop down, the item will get launched. I've hit myself in the back of the head with my cell phone a couple of times doing it. That's just bean bags in general though.Overall, we are quite happy with our purchase and don't regret it at all.Edit: We've now had this for a year almost. My original review still stands. We've decided that a couple in their thirties should probably stick to a couch though. We're not sure when the floor got to be so far away, so it can be some effort to get up and down.
