One chair, one pattern, cut the same way every time. Here is what that size is, what it weighs, and the one thing you can change.

The quick answer
The round corduroy bean bag chair is about 43 in (109 cm) across and weighs about 22 lb (10 kg). It comes in one standard size only; smaller or custom sizes, such as a diameter of about 33 1/2 in (850 mm), are not made. You can buy the chair without its pouf footstool, which measures 25 x 35 in (64 x 89 cm).

Fabric has a temper and foam has a memory. Better to settle both in a conversation than to guess at them alone. — Harlan
Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
"How big is it, really?"
About 43 in (109 cm) across, and round. For a while the listing showed an overall depth of 13.5 in (34 cm), and a buyer in the US rightly asked how a 43 in seat fits inside a 13.5 in chair. It doesn't. That figure was an error, and the workshop corrected it.
So clear a circle of floor a little over 3 1/2 ft wide, plus room for your legs. The floor cushions hub shows how the round ones sit beside square ones.
"How heavy? Will it wander off?"
About 22 lb (10 kg). Light enough to carry across a room, heavy enough to stay where you set it. That weight is also why the two-seater pouf sofa has no connector to its ottoman. The pieces simply don't move.
It arrives filled, not as an empty cover, with shredded foam inserts that hold their shape. It sits like a bean bag, not a rigid chair, and it doesn't swivel.
"Can you make it smaller?"
No, my friend, and I'd rather say so plainly. A buyer asked for a 33 1/2 in (850 mm) diameter, and the workshop declined. It is one pattern, and it stays one pattern.
What you can change is the set. The chair can be ordered without its pouf footstool, and the pouf can be ordered on its own, in the corduroy colors except black. If 43 in is more floor than you have, a corner floor cushion at 40 x 40 in (102 x 102 cm) is the smaller cousin. How much floor lies between your sofa and the window?
The corduroy set, piece by piece
| Piece | Size | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Round bean bag chair | About 43 in (109 cm) across | About 22 lb (10 kg), shredded-foam fill |
| Pouf ottoman | 25 x 35 in (64 x 89 cm) | Sold with the chair or on its own |
| Two-seater pouf sofa | About 3 ft (91 cm) long, arms included | No connector; its weight holds it |
The corduroy pouf sofa has no connector to its 25 x 35 in ottoman and needs none: both pieces are heavy enough to stay where you set them.

Buyer questions
- A common question
How big is the round corduroy bean bag chair, and what does it weigh?
The workshop's answerIt's round, about 43 in (109 cm) across, and weighs about 22 lb (10 kg). The 13.5 in depth once shown on the listing was an error, and it has been fixed.
- A common question
What size are the two-seater pouf sofa and its ottoman, and do they clip together?
The workshop's answerThe two-seater is about 3 ft (91 cm) long including the arms, and the ottoman is 25 x 35 in (64 x 89 cm). There's no connector, but the pieces are heavy and stay put.
- A common question
Could you make the corduroy pouf sofa smaller, and leave out the footstool?
The workshop's answerThe size can't be changed; a request for a 33 1/2 in (850 mm) diameter was declined. The chair can be bought without the pouf footstool, though.
- A common question
Is the bean bag chair firm, and does it come already filled?
The workshop's answerIt sits like a bean bag, not a rigid chair. It arrives filled with shredded-foam inserts that are durable and hold their shape, and the pouf doesn't swivel.
Questions buyers ask next
Will a 43 inch bean bag chair fit a small apartment?
Measure for a circle about 43 in (109 cm) wide plus legroom. If that's tight, order the chair without its pouf ottoman and you save a 25 x 35 in (64 x 89 cm) footprint on the floor.
Can I order just the corduroy pouf ottoman?
Yes. The chair usually ships as a set with its pouf ottoman, but the pouf alone can be ordered through a separate listing or a custom offer. It comes in the corduroy colors, except black.
Is there a smaller floor seat for young kids?
The round chair has one size, but corner floor cushions come in sizes like 40 x 40 in (102 x 102 cm) and 48 x 48 in (122 x 122 cm). The 40 x 40 in size suits two toddlers.
