The humble beanbag has been given a makeover. Though always perfect for upping the creature-comfort levels in your living or family room without taking up too much physical space, some of them did lack style.

This Monster bean bag is big enough to fit two sprawling teenagers, looks smart and is equipped with sit and recline options.

It comes in a wide selection of candy colours including pink, blue, orange and berry with many more shades available to order.

It is reduced from €299 to €199 at the Bean Bag store (01-2878404, beanbags.ie) at Outdoor Living, in the National Garden Exhibition Centre, at Kilquade, Co Wicklow. There is free delivery nationwide.
