There is a particular discipline to a square footprint in a world of round and amorphous children's seating. Sixty centimetres by sixty centimetres sits against a wall, into a corner, or in the middle of a room, and it does so without the visual negotiation that bean bags in less deliberate shapes tend to require.
The MeowBaby Slimcord Square Beanbag is covered in 100% polyester corduroy, which gives it a texture that reads as considered rather than purely functional. The outer cover is removable and hand-washable. The design also includes a separate inner filling cover, which means the filling has a layer of protection that is independent of the outer shell. The corner height is 35 cm and the centre height is 20 cm, which gives the sitting surface its characteristic slight dip.
Three colourways are available: Brown, Pink, and Turquoise. These are deliberate colour choices rather than neutrals. Brown sits alongside wooden floors and natural materials with ease. Pink works in nurseries and rooms that lean warm. Turquoise is the expressive choice, and it earns that position.
The square shape and corduroy texture put this at the more structured end of the bean bag range: the kind of product that works in rooms where the adults have preferences about what else is in them.
