Make yourself comfortable

When all you want is a comfy place to sit and hang out with your friends, sometimes there's nothing better than a big pile of squashy beanbags. Until recently that's only been an option for indoors – but now there's a fantastic range of weatherproof outdoor beanbags and oversized cushions available in our garden centre in Surrey.

Mix and match: choose different colours to suit your mood, from zingy blues, purples or yellows to make your party go with a swing, to cool white or black for a more stylish soirée. There are even shaped beanbag outdoor armchairs and sofas.

Great for children: kids love child-sized picture beanbags, and they're super-practical: the waterproof polyester covers are also wipe-clean, so sticky finger marks and spills disappear in seconds. Teenagers love funky coloured beanbags, too: they might even venture out into the garden from time to time.

Style statement: Scatter a few beanbags over a deck, and use them to pick out a few of the colours in surrounding plants to really pull your design together: slatey purple to match heuchera leaves, perhaps, or bright scarlet to echo crocosmia flowers.

Please ask the staff in our Surrey garden centre for more information and advice about outdoor cushions and beanbags for your garden.
