How to Make Slip Cover for Bean Bag Chair Need some inexpensive moveable seating for guests when you entertain? Here's an easy solution: slipcovers for cheap beanbag chairs. Buy them during back-to-college sales and cover them with fabric that matches your decor. Bean bag chairs can be an awesome way to add additional flex seating to a room. Unfortunately, the cute patterned ones always cost a ton! We purchased inexpensive (and ugly) bean bag chairs and made our own fun, slipcovers using awesome fabric from the clearance aisle. To make your slipcovers extra durable, consider using a serger rather than a sewing machine. If you're using a sewing machine, make sure to carefully measure your seam allowances, making them even on all sides of the fabric, so that the pieces fit together. Here's what you'll need: home decor weight fabric sewing machine or serger 1. Measure your bean bags and determine the length and width of each side and the top and bottom.
Add an inch to each of your measurments for looseness and seam allowances You'll need to cut a rectangle of fabric for four sides, and two squares - one for the top and one bottom piece. 2. Mark your side panels 1,2,3 and 4. With right sides together, sew the side of panel 1 to the side of panel 2 with a half inch seam allowance. Repeat this, sewing panel 3 to panel 2, and then panel 4 to panel 3. You should have a long line of panels that would wrap around your bean bag chair (don't sew them in a circle just yet). 3. With right sides together, sew one side of the top panel to one open side of panel 2. Repeat with bottom panel on the opposite open side of panel 2. 3. Repeat this process, sewing the top and bottom panel to panel 3 and then panel 4. 4. Then, sew the bottom panel to the bottom of panel 4. 5. Turn the slipcover inside out and insert your bean bag. 6. To make the slipcover removable, cut a strip of velcro the length of the remaining seam. Sew the velcro to the inside of the top panel, folding the edge of the fabric over just slightlyto make a clean hem.
Sew the other side of the fabric to the remaining open side panel. Connect the velcro to close your slipcover. 7. To make a non-removable slip cover, fold the edges of the seams in and hand stitch the seam closed.

We received the Yogibo Max (which practically the size of a twin bed) and the Yogi Support pillow (which is a giant U-shaped pillow much like a Boppy for adults). The Yogibo Max or Midi is a must have for autistic children. So what is it? The Yogibo is like a beanbag but it feels more comfortable because of the filling that is used. It reminds me more of memory foam then the typical bumpy bean bag feel.
What is really great is that you can buy refill beads for the inside if they start to not be as foamy. So what do you use it for? We have used our Yogibo Max for many different things. 5. A squeeze/compression tool 6. A punching bag I had a bunch of families with children of all ages and with different neurology come over and test out the Yogibo. Every single child loved it! The adults loved the comfort the Yogi Support provided. They could lounge on the Yogibo Max with the Yogi Support wrapped around their back for the added support that most adults need without getting a neck cramp or backache. My husband is often found using the Yogi Support on my daughter’s bed during nightly story time. We laid the Yogibo parallel to my daughter’s twinsize bed and I held the kids on the waist as I ‘flew’ them onto the Yogibo. They loved being able to crash and jump off the bed (with an adult present). We also stood the Yogibo upright and sat one child on top then shimmy the sides so they sunk down into it a little.
My son affectionately calls it “sitting in his nest”. I assume because he is up high and all curled up. He loves the gentle encompassed feel. He often seeks deep pressure as part of meeting his sensory needs so the Yogibo has helped fulfill that need without him tearing apart my couch cushions.

An Occupational Therapist I spoke with suggested that it was because the children felt secure as opposed to a regular chair where most of their body wasn’t supported since many autistic children have difficulties with knowing where their body is in space. The moms were all commenting on how fantastic it would be if schools had Yogibo Midis or Minis, which are smaller versions of the Yogibo Max. The only complaint that the mothers’ had was that they couldn’t afford the large Yogibo Max at $229.
However, if you compare the cost of crashpad (approximately $120 US dollars) and add the cost of a video rocker gaming seat ($30-$150) the Yogibo seems to give you plenty for your money. I especially liked the feature of the zip slip cover. So I can unzip and wash the cover whenever needed. Click Here to Download Indoor Bean Bag Chair.
