You want to make your child's room as inviting and comfortable as possible for him.
Consider his room to be his domain - the only real thing that he can control and consider his personal space where he can express himself.
Well, when purchasing a piece of furniture for the bedroom, you want to make sure it suits his style, room color and his needs.
A bean bag chair is a most beloved piece of furniture, and when chosen well, your son could keep this for a very long time.
So here are a few suggestions for bean bag selection that I had to consider when making my purchase that you may find useful.

1. You want to select a fabric type that is very easy to clean, yet is comfortable.
   Would you prefer to have a vinyl bag that cleans easily by wiping with a wet cloth or would you prefer to be able to remove the entire cover and throw it in the washing machine? Many of the fabric covers are removable - make sure of this, and make sure that they have a liner that holds the filling so that the cover can be removed.
   Selections for fabric types include micro fiber, denim, cotton (plain and prints) and fun fur.
   The chairs that have logos or team logos are usually vinyl.
   Note that some people don't like the feel of vinyl, sometimes feeling that it is too sticky or cold.
   Despite your selection, please make sure that your bag is equipped with child safety lock zippers.
   
2. You will want to select a size appropriate for your son - keep in mind that your son may have this for a long time and will grow into it.
   They come in a great range of sizes.
   
3. Decide the type based on the activities that your son likes to do.
   My son is a gamer and loves his video games.
   He spends a lot of time during the weekends playing video games online with his friends.
   He should be comfortable, since this is an activity that is sustained over a long period, and therefore should provide full body support for whatever position you are in.
   With the stuffing of bean bags, this allows ultimate comfort especially for the lower back.
   
4. Does your son read? Watch TV? These chairs will be a place where they would gravitate to do such activities also.
   
5. It is a friend magnet - friends will visit and stay longer when there is comfy furniture to chill in.
   I love having my son's friends over because I enjoy knowing who his friends are and I know what they are doing and where they are doing it when they are at my house.
   

This may sound like a big list to consider when deciding on a bean bag chair or relax sack to purchase for your son.
But the better ones aren't necessarily the cheapest ones, so invest some time and thought into your purchase and you will have a piece of furniture that your son may carry with him not only to college but beyond.
