Choosing your Budda Bag
Choosing the right-sized Budda Bag is important, for a couple of reasons. First, they’re bigger than they look, whether you see them on this website or in a shop. Once you get them home, out of the packaging, and fluffed up, you’ll be surprised how much bigger your Budda Bag appears in your room. So always measure out the required space in your own house, using a tape measure or sheets of A4 paper.
The second reason is that the size you should get depends on the way you’ll use your Budda Bag. Here’s a guide to typical uses:
Typical Uses of Each Size Budda Bag
5ft (150cm) Midi Budda Bag – Throne/Snuggle Seat
We start with this one because it’s our most popular Budda Bag. The Midi is best regarded as a very generous large armchair or a sumptuous mini-sofa for two close companions (or parent and child). If you’re feeling self-indulgent, this king-sized single seater has no equal for luxury and comfort. You can stretch out and just bask in the support of thousands of tiny memory foam pillows inside the Budda Bag.
The Midi Budda Bag is great for lounging in front of the TV, playing console games, listening to music, reading, or just having a snooze in the sun. You’ll soon figure out how to make your Midi Budda Bag support your weight in all these situations.
If you’ve someone close to share with, a Midi Budda Bag makes a perfect snuggle seat for two adults or you and the kids.
Recommended Accessories: Support your head and neck with an Oobi-Doobi, get all-round arm, shoulder and neck support with an Akimbo Long Neck.
Size: 150cm (5ft/60″) diameter circle on floor
Package: 127x62cm vacuum-packed sausage-shaped, 24Kg
4ft (120cm) Mini Budda Bag – Armchair/Recliner
The second most-popular Budda Bag is the Mini. Don’t let the name fool you, this is plenty of Budda Bag for the money, and is a wonderful and highly flexible alternative to a luxury armchair or recliner. With plenty of room to spread out, you’ll be reluctant to move after enjoying the support of all that memory foam.
The Mini Budda Bag, just like its bigger brother, is great for watching TV, playing games, listening to your iPod or Hi-Fi, reading a book or newspaper, or just catching a few Zzzzz’s. Once kept fluffed up, your Budda Bag will adjust to your sitting style in seconds.
Great for a couple of kids to enjoy watching TV or playing games together, and perfect for you and a smaller child to have some relaxing quality time.

Big enough to surround and support an adult sitting up, the Baby Budda Bag doubles as a mini-armchair for a kid. Compact and easy to move around, you could have a couple of Baby Buddas ready for guests to sit on, or one each for the kids to use when playing games or watching TV.

2ft (60cm) Didi Budda Bag – Footstool/Ottoman
Best used along with a bigger Budda Bag, the Didi Budda makes a perfect footstool (or Ottoman if you’re posh!). Giving the same level of support for your legs and feet as all the big Budda Bags, a Didi also makes a great emergency seat for the unexpected guest. Kids love to use them as big chest cushions for lying in front of the TV or playing console games.
