Shopping for Beanbag Chairs

[minimidimations]

Today turned into a bit of a mission: finding beanbag chairs.

started at Big Lots, I think this one was in Yorba Linda. It’s one of those stores where you never really know what you’re going to find. Sometimes it feels like treasure hunting.



They had beanbags near the front by the cashier. Not a huge selection, but enough to make me pause and consider them.



Next stop was Kmart in Anaheim, at Lincoln & State College. Walking into a Kmart always feels a little nostalgic. The lighting, the layout, it’s familiar in a way that’s hard to explain.



They had a few beanbags for sale there too. Different colors, different sizes, but nothing that immediately felt like “the one.”



After that, I went to Target Greatland, I think the one in Costa Mesa at Harbor Blvd. & Baker, where Fedco used to stand. There’s something interesting about shopping somewhere that sits on top of older history.



They had smaller chairs available, not quite full beanbags, but close. Cozy-looking, though.



The last stop was IKEA in Costa Mesa. IKEA always feels like stepping into its own little world. You go in for one thing and somehow walk through an entire staged apartment.



They had big cushions for sale, not exactly beanbags, but definitely in the same category of “comfortable floor seating.”





In the end, it was less about finding the perfect beanbag and more about the wandering between stores. Sometimes the search itself is the interesting part.
