For Your So-Called Eco-Friendly Dorm Life

For students getting ready to go back to college this fall, it’s time to start racking up the green dorm decor. Beyond the bunk beds you’ll want comfy seating for hanging out, napping and of course, studying. Here’s a big green twist on the old favorite, the bean bag. Bean Products X-Large Comfy Loveseat is big enough to hold two adults. And the thing college students will love is that you can customize it to fit your personality and eco-friendliness.

You’ll have 26 fabrics to choose from, but if you want to be green, select from the eight organic fabric colors, which range from avocado to pink to black. Next choose your filling. Bean Products offers recycled polystyrene beads, not a great material, but at least here it’s made from recycled plastics; or shredded foam, which comes from scrap furniture cushioning. Can’t decide? Go with Superfill, a mix of both. If you want to fully personalize your bean bag, have your name embroidered on it.
