Our 10-week stint staying in temporary accommodation at the end of last year coincided with Fudge’s leg being broken. This meant at least one of us spending a great deal of time lying beside him on the floor: a) to stop him jumping on to and off of the sofas & armchairs of our short-term holiday let and b) to stop him re-injuring himself in the process.

Luckily, the house we stayed in had a beanbag that came in useful when keeping Fudge company on the floor. We were surprised at how comfortable it was and our preconception of them being student bedsit stalwarts also vanished. So much so, that we’re considering getting a leather beanbag of our own! Here are the 5 best we’ve come across.
