We’ve all struggled back to work after the Christmas break, and we know it can be hard to stay focused, but try not to fall asleep on your JUMBO office beanbag!.. we know they’re comfy.

Happy New Year one and all, and if you’re nursing a New Years hangover then snuggle down into your big comfy JUMBO bag, stick on a New Years day film and feel better soon.

Merry Christmas to all our Wonderful Jumbo beanbags customers, followers and those who just happen to have stumbled across our site. Wishing you all a huge snuggly comfy squishy Christmas and a bright bold and colourful New Year!

Seeing as you’re all feeling festive at the moment and melting with Christmas joy and squishy happiness we thought you’d appreciate this sickly sweet beanbag photo that acheived ‘Picture of the Day’ in the Daily Telegraph a few weeks back.. one, two, three… awwww. Now you see this is where a big bright JUMBO beanbag would have given that added injection of cool to help balance the sweetness, if only they’d known.. maybe next time.

It’s not just our beanbags that are JUMBO sized, so is our Christmas spirit! In a fit of festive generosity Jumbo have unveiled a special Christmas offer for our neighbours in Liverpool, a massive £30 off any beanbag!! Available to anyone having their beanbag delivered to a Liverpool postcode, grab your bargain bag while stocks last!!

These bean bag people are part of an art installation called ‘The Last Conversation Piece’ at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, USA. One day when JUMBO go global we’ll buy these and put them on the JUMBO HQ front lawn (painted cyan, magenta, yellow and black of course).

A truly Jumbo style collection of our cute bean bag cousins, the Beanie Babies. ‘Rocket’ the Blue Jay, ‘Pinky’ the Flamingo, ‘Woodstock’ and ‘Smudge’ the Dog are amongst the 1777 total number of Beanie Babies ever made, although there are only 348 currently available.. well you learn something every day so they say.

As you’ll no doubt have noticed the world of Jumbo exists in CMYK, so it’s as though this desktop wallpaper was made for us. It’s definately heading for any available screen at Jumbo HQ, and then I wonder if it’s available in in real-life rather than virtual wallpaper too.. I can feel an office re-vamp coming on.

Ever wonder about who your ancestors were? Well Jumbo got to pondering.. It turns out that beanbags are relative youngsters in the furniture world – first appearing in the 1960′s with lava lamps and colour TVs.

Starting out life with leather covers, they gradually branched out into soft fabrics and I’m sure went through a whole range of garish patterns in the 80′s and 90′s before arriving at the more refined furniture item of the modern day.
