Beanbag Comfort Research: Increased comfort with beanbags

Is your beanbag comfy enough? Research shows that sitting down for prolonged periods can create an unhealthy lifestyle. When you sit down, grab a bean bag from rucomfy beanbags and relax in style. Mother always said ‘Everything in moderation’ and she was right. A study measuring rest periods revealed that people who kept on their feet with rest periods had lesser risk of developing diabetes and other related effects, whereas people who sat down for long periods of time exercising for 30 minutes ending back on the sofa had a higher risk. Our beanbags are extremely comfy and although we fill them to the optimised comfort level we don’t reccommend extended resting time as this research shows.

If there is less time spent sitting then to maximise comfort our beanbags are the perfect answer. Think about how the little daily changes could benefit our health and how beanbags can benefit our comfort level. Walking to work, standing up meetings, taking a walk on your lunch breaks, taking the dog out more often, playing sports with the kids all these little things can lead to a healthy body and mind.

 

Our extensive range of bean bags can heighten your comfort levels for when you finally get that sit down you’ve been longing for. Our ever expanding and high selection of bean bag choices designs, fabrics, colours and fillings allow you to create the right beanbag whether it be just for you or for two not forgetting our beanbag sofas for quality comfy family and friend time. We fill our beanbags to an optimised level for the best comfort results, not too much and not too little and with our unique easYfill Liner design help to keep your bean bag fresh and clean hassle free.

The little things make a difference so make a change in your life eat and exercise in moderation and rest well with a rucomfy bean bags.

A bumper year for rucomfy beanbags

rucomfy beanbags team

 

The last few years have been difficult for UK businesses, recession and increased manufacturing imports from the likes of China, have made it difficult for us all. But like other British companies we here at rucomfy beanbags have fought hard to stay on top and this year we feel that all our extra effort has really paid off for the company.

Back in May rucomfy beanbags began manufacturing 8000 beanbags for the Olympic Village. The experience of being part of the Olympic games was wonderful for the whole team here at rucomfy beanbags and thanks to the Olympic contract we were able to take on more staff, providing important extra jobs for the people of Blackburn.

Now our achievement has been recognised by the Lancashire Telegraph, with rucomfy beanbags being nominated in the Deal of theYear category at the 2012 Lancashire Telegraph Business Awards for supplying the 8000 Olympic beanbags.

The winners of the awards are being announced on 16th November. Everyone nominated for the awards deserve to win, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that we come out on top as it would be the perfect way to thank everyone involved with rucomfy beanbags for all their hard work this year.

This year also marked rucomfy beanbag’s 30th birthday, for those 30 years we’ve been manufacturing our beanbags here in the UK making us a truly British business, and we’re proud of that.  Business can be hard, but hard work and belief in your products is what you need to succeed in business. We’re looking forward to an even better 2013!

Beanbags and Big Screens

Thanks to the BBC, many of the major cities throughout the UK will be showing coverage of The Games on big screen TVs starting tonight with the Opening Ceremony. City centres will be decked out with outdoor beanbags, and other comfortable seating so you will be able to enjoy all the excitement of tonight’s Opening Ceremony and the next fortnight’s event whilst enjoying a bean bag picnic with your friends and family.

The BBC has 22 sites in towns and cities throughout the UK where this summers events will be screened. Set up to promote local and national events, and animate city centres, so far this year people have been able to enjoy Wimbledon, Euro 2012 and performances from the Royal Ballet all from the comfort of an outdoor beanbag, and all for free.

This year, the use of outdoor beanbags at live events has dramatically increased, with organisers realising the benefits of the beanbag over other forms of seating, beanbags win hands down for comfort, versatility, affordability and let’s face it, they look a lot cooler than a plastic chair!

rucomfy beanbags helping Team GB to gold.

Only 10 days left now before the opening ceremony in London, and if you don’t know what ceremony I’m talking about, well where have you been all year?

rucomfy beanbags is 100% supporting team GB this summer and have been busy working hard  behind the scenes at the athlete’s village to make sure that team GB and the rest of the athletes from around the world have the right beanbags to relax on.

So after a hard day on the track, in the pool, or in a boat, the likes of Chris Hoy, Jessica Ennis, Rebecca Adlington and Ben Ainslie will all be able to chill out on a specially designed, lime green rucomfy beanbag, in preparation for their next round.

It’s taken us 18000m of material, 65000cuft of beans and a double capacity workforce to make sure the 8000 beanbags were ready in time, but we’re proud to say we did it well ahead of schedule.

Here’s what the BBC had to say about the rucomfy beanbags in a recent report on the athletes village  “The foam block loungers with their turquoise blue fabric covers are comfortable enough, as are the funky green beanbags, which I reckon will be the most popular for flopping on.” (to read the full report click here)

So we’re happy we’ve done all we can to give team GB and the rest of the World’s athletes the best start for the games, and everyone here at rucomfy beanbags truly does hope that every athlete will enjoy flopping on our beanbags.

I should finish this piece there, but we are a 100% British business, so please forgive us for wanting to be slightly patriotic by shouting;  Go Team GB – keep those medals here in the UK!

Puppy Heaven

Angus puts his smarty beanbag pet bed to the test

Over the past few weeks I’ve written quite a few blogs about children’s beanbags, from outdoor beanbags and gaming beanbags to monster beanbags and animal beanbags. That’s because our children are the most important part of our lives, but when we received a photograph from one of our customers I realised I’d missed another important member of our family; our pet.

Meet Angus, a border terrier pup who has fallen in love with a rucomfy beanbag smarty cushion beanbag and claimed it for his pet bed.

Although not bought for Angus, the cheeky pup soon realised that the smarty cushion beanbag would make the ideal pet bed for him – and who can blame him when he looks so comfy!

rucomfy smarty beanbags are designed for toddlers but are the perfect size to make a super comfy pet bed for cats and small dogs. Available in our special indoor/outdoor fabric, they are easy to wipe clean, so you don’t have to worry about muddy paw prints ruining the beanbags. As with all rucomfy beanbags, the smarty cushion beanbags are available in an array of colours, so you’ll easily find one to complement your pet’s boudoir!

Thank you Mrs Kirby for sending in the photograph of Angus.

We’d love to receive more photographs of your children, pets or husbands enjoying their rucomfy beanbags, please feel free to send them to sales@rucomfy.co.uk
