Big Bertha Original

Reviews:

Good quality and design but felt it need a little bit mmore stuffing

Love the beanbag, however it's an absolute pain having to fill it!

Don’t think we realised you had to fill the bean bag itself.

Delivered promptly in good packaging

The sofa bean bag is amazing. Really love it and it fits our space really well. I'm removing a star, as we had to fill it ourselves, as the beans came separately. We kinda expected that, for over £300, it would have come prefilled. It was a pretty messy job!

Ordered a footstool and was quite surprised when it didn't arrive already assembled. If I had read the reviews fully beforehand I would have seen there was a common theme of people missing this info at the very bottom of the Features section, and also that there wasn't enough filling provided. I didn't bother opening the packages within as I knew it would be a nightmare, so I can't comment on the quality. I also had to chase for the refund which took nearly 3 weeks to go back to my account.

Beans provided do not fill out sofa, however after review more beans were sent out. No issues now :)

The service was good and the product was really nice and just what we wanted. I’ve dropped a star as I would have preferred the chair to have arrived completed and for us no to have to put the polystyrene beads in ourselves. It wasn’t as difficult as anticipated but would have saved on a huge plastic bag.

It would be so much better if the beanbag came ready stuffed. Doing it at home is such a faff and so many of the styrofoam beans spill out and it’s messy. I would prefer to buy from somewhere where it’s ready-stuffed professionally, so wouldn’t buy from here again or recommend.

Easy to order, arrives on time would have been 5 stars if they could package the replacement beans in a bag that doesn’t result in a high portion of the beans ending up all over the floor. Very difficult to fill. Once it’s done a great product

Lovely wee sofa but would be 5 stars if it had a liner so cover can be washed. Also brilliant if we didn't have to fill it when it arrived..it was easy to fill but still quite a lot of wastage.

The cushion cover was fantastic and well made, however, the inner pillow that we ordered extra didn’t really fill the cover, it was quite a bit smaller and don’t go to the corners

Pleased with the product but surprised I had to fill it myself! This information was not given when I ordered it.

We lost a lot of polystyrene balls when trying to fill it, but it is great quality and my grandson loves it.

Liked the material however far smaller than anticipated.....also more beans required

Polystyrene balls were loose outside packaging bag and in the box. Messy getting them in the item.

Part of order ripped. Not enough beans to fill it.

The beanbag, once assembled, is very comfortable. However, as other reviewers have experienced, it is not clear from the website that you are required to fill it yourself (and similar to another reviewer, I did not have a second person available to help which made the task pretty hard). The filling gets everywhere and is a nightmare to clear up. This is not helped by the fact the box it comes in has holes and some of the filling will inevitably come out the bottom no matter how careful you are. Again, similar to other reviewers, insufficient filling was provided - I bought 2x beanbags and 1x footstool/pouffe and ended up using the filling meant for the pouffe to fill one of the beanbags so that it was sufficiently full / sturdy. I don't see why they can't ship the beanbag ready-made so assume it's a cost-cutting measure at the company's end. If you're willing to spend an hour and a half bent over with a dustpan and brush chasing tiny filling balls round the floor then the final product is good (provided you overfill with stuffing meant for e.g. a pouffe which you then won't be able to use). Otherwise I would recommend finding an alternative supplier who will ship ready-made!
