The beanbag chair has been around for quite some time and has become a staple of kids' rooms and dorm rooms. But there are many iterations of the standard beanbag and some are entirely suitable to more adult spaces.

Classic Moroccan Pouf, updated: The classic Moroccan Pouf has been around for a very long time and while not traditionally considered a "beanbag" chair, it does fit the description. Stitched together from leather, the pouf is filled with beans and can be used as extra seating or table space, or as a footstool. Many hip designers, like John Derian ($295 each, www.johnderian.com), are creating poufs in bright, modern colors.

Target Adult Cocoon Beanbag: Target offers the Adult Cocoon beanbag ($194.99 to $207.99, www.target.com) that is basically a bag built for two. A great choice for relaxing in front of a fire.

The Buggle Up Beanbag from FatBoy: The Buggle Up beanbag from FatBoy ($359, www.fatboyusa.com) is made from a tough material that is resistant to water or UV-ray damage. A stylish chair that looks more like an oversize pillow than a standard beanbag, this would be great for camping trips, bonfires or other outdoor activities.

Cabela's Camo Beanbag: The Camo beanbag ($79.99, www.cabelas.com) comes in different camouflage patterns from natural elements like grass and leaves to more fanciful pink army camo. It's perfect for a hunting lodge.

Jaxx Marine beanbag chairs: The Jaxx Marine beanbag ($513.76, www.beanbagchairfurniture.com) comes with its own footstool and can be used by the pool or ocean. The fabric, which comes in royal blue or taupe, is made of Sunbrella, which is resistant to stains, seawater and is both chlorine- and fade-resistant. The design features a snappy contrast welt.

CB2 Knitted Pouf: Chunky knits are in this season, for both clothing and furnishings. These poufs ($89.95 each, www.cb2.com) are stout and sturdy mini-beanbags stuffed densely with pellets. They do double duty as seating and side tables.
