Beanbags boost attendance at 2012 Australian F1 Grand Prix

FIA Formula One Australian Grand Prix attendance boosted by beanbags

The Australian Grand Prix took place on the 18th March with our very own Jenson Button taking first place on the podium. But was it the drivers and cars that had everyone talking over the race weekend? No, it was outdoor bean bags!

This year, for the first time, the Melbourne circuit featured a dedicated bar and outdoor beanbag area so that fans could enjoy the Grand Prix whilst drinking beer and relaxing on a beanbag.

Andrew Westacott, chief executive of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, has gone on record as saying that the 5% increase in attendance at this years event was down to this outdoor beanbag area.  “General admission patrons could pay a premium on their ticket and receive A-grade viewing at Turn 15 including bean bags, deck chairs, and their own bar … That’s what drove attendance, and it was the best we’ve had since 2005.”

Seen as a funky, modern way to relax, beanbags are rapidly becoming outdoor event organiser’s favourite seating choice. Not only do they look good and give a lively vibe to an event but the beanbags are also versatile, light weight, comfy and can easily be cleaned.

Whether you are organising an outdoor concert, a firework display or even a major motor racing event, rucomfy beanbags have the perfect choice of outdoor beanbags for you.

Give your event the edge and increase attendance, think beanbags

Beanbags – an aid to autism and sensory processing disorders

Sky One’s new series, Touch, starring Keifer Sutherland highlights the issues faced by parents with autistic children, and has seen Jake, Sutherland’s autistic son in Touch, benefiting from sensory stimulation in a sensory room featuring beanbags.

Sensory room with beanbags

Sensory rooms are used for children and adults alike who suffer from autism or sensory processing disorders. A sensory processing disorder is a neurological disorder that causes difficulties with processing information from the 5 senses; vision, auditory, touch, olfaction and taste as well as from the sense of movement (vestibular system) and/or the positional sense (proprioception).

It is with these last two senses that beanbags can help.

Some children suffering from sensory processing disorders are hyperactive and are unable to keep still. Beanbags can be used to create the deep pressure input needed to stay calm. Beanbags envelop your body as you sink into them thus creating the deep pressure sensory input on your body which soothes and keeps the body calm.  The beanbags can be used to aid relaxation whilst your child is reading or watching television.

On the other hand some children suffering from sensory processing disorders need stimulation. They need to run and crash into things.  Beanbags are perfect for use here as they are soft, and your child can run into them without any fear of being hurt.

When buying a beanbag for your sensory room we recommend that you choose a dark coloured beanbag rather than a brightly patterned one as this will be more calming to the child’s sensory eye. rucomfy beanbags have a wide range of beanbag sizes available, depending on the space you have available and the age of your child.

If you also wish to double the use of your beanbag so that it not only can be used for aiding relaxation but also for crashing into, rucomfy beanbags also have a range of giant beanbags , try our squashy squarbie giant beanbag currently on offer at only £69.99 or our beanbag bean sofa loungers.

Sensory-based stimulation plays an important role in every child’s development, whether they suffer from a sensory disorder or not. By creating a sensory room or area in your home you are helping your child to deal with the stresses of growing up.

The perfect Easter: lambs, daffodils, snow?

The first big holiday of the year is upon us, the children have broken up from school and Mums and Dads are taking a break from work. I think Easter is one of my favourite holidays of the year, so full of the promise of new life with the onset of Spring, a time when we can all look forward to playing outside and lounging on outdoor beanbags in the garden with our kids.

It is now that baby lambs can be seen frolicking in the fields,  bright yellow daffodils waving gently in the wind, Mum lounging on the outdoor giant beanbag in the garden reading her favourite book surrounded by glistening snow … hang on snow?

 

Yes it’s April and this morning much of the UK woke to a covering of snow, and although the snow is not forecast to last, temperatures are certain to remain on the chilly side this Easter.

But parents do not despair, you may not be able to play out with the children, so why not take advantage of the bad weather and snuggle down as a family and watch some of your favourite movies. Dust off those old Disney and Pixar DVDs, put on the fire and pull up the beanbags.

To help your family to relax this Easter rucomfy beanbags are offering a free footstool bean bag with many of our bean bags. rucomfy beanbags also offer many brightly coloured children’s beanbags which make a perfect alternative gift to the traditional Easter egg.

Have a great Easter!
