Cheaper alternative to the Lovesac Bean Bag Chair?

[RusticBohemian]

I recently visited a super spendy pants friend and had a chance to use what amounts to a giant, plush, surprisingly comfortable bean bag chair, called a Lovesac: https://www.lovesac.com/search/sacs/bean-bag-chairs (not the best name choice, me thinks).

I have like zero furniture and I'd love to get one of these, but I'm not paying a grand for one. And most bean bag chairs I've used have generally sucked and would not be worth the purchase for me.

Anyone know if there is a cheaper knock off of these that retains most of its advantages over actual beanbag chairs?

Some years ago, I bought a used SuperSac from a house in an expensive-looking neighborhood for $200. If you're willing to go used, the deals are out there.

considering this also buying a used one with washable cover.. any other reviews? How do they go over time?

The website shows the general shape and seaming, and says a Durafoam filling.  It should be possible to make one, or have a local tailor/dressmaker/seamstress/upholsterer make one.

I thought about this option too.  I think when I figured the cost of the durafoam it was really expensive.

I would have thought foam would be quite cheap

Quality / dense foam is shockingly expensive.

I think it was related to the type of foam.  Also it is way more foam than you think.  For the largest one I believe it has 80lbs of foam.  On Alibaba the foam cost range is $2.50 to $4/kg or $5.50 to $8.80 / lb.    Even at the low end that is $440 for 80lbs.  Then add the cost of shipping that much foam.

I know this is not a bean bag. But this Ikea chair is surprisingly comfortable for the price.
