The Bean Bag Trend is on the rise!
As the sunshine finally makes an appearance and the long-awaited Bank Holiday weekend beckons, UK homeowners are turning their gardens into chic, laid-back retreats—one squishy seat at a time by embracing the outdoor bean bag trend.
And yes, we’re talking about bean bags. But not the ones you remember from your student days. These are stylish, weatherproof, and totally garden-ready—and they’re becoming the must-have for outdoor living in 2025.
The Outdoor Bean Bag Trend
Big Bertha Original, a Manchester-based brand known for its contemporary take on comfort, has reported a huge spike in demand for its outdoor bean bag collection. With timeless designs, UV- and shower-resistant fabrics, and a price point that’s far kinder than wood or rattan furniture, these clever seats are the perfect companion for sunshine-filled afternoons and balmy evenings outdoors.
“They’re functional, fashionable, and a lot more versatile than your average bench or bulky patio set,” says Buyer Hannah Blakey. “We’re seeing customers fall in love with the look and feel of our loungers and outdoor bean bags—and they love how easy they are to clean, move and store.”
