New lounge furniture coming soon…

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

It’s been a while since we’ve posted because we’ve been extremely busy behind the scenes of late.

We will soon be announcing some very exciting news about a new product line of designer lounge furniture.  We have worked (and continue to work) tirelessly to source an assortment of funky, high-quality furniture which compliments the modern-retro theme of our luxury bean bags.  We have so far chosen around half a dozen pieces that we will be adding to the current site, but we are also planning to launch a brand new site as the range grows – we have a fair bit of work ahead of us…

Hours of sweat and toil have already gone into arranging a photo shoot to showcase these new products, as well getting a few fresh snaps of our existing leather bean bags.  The shoot took place yesterday in a superb central Birmingham location, and we are desperate to get some of the new images on the site as soon as possible!

Without wanting to give too much away at this time, we are also in discussions about the possibility of taking on new premises so that we can offer customers the option to browse our luxury bean bag- and lounge-furniture in a stylish, relaxed showroom.  We’ll provide more updates soon.

Sao Luis Leather Bean Bag

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

We’ve mentioned it in previous posts but the Sao Luis leather bean bag is finally here!  It’s the younger, sightly smaller brother of the Sao Paulo leather bean bag but with the same detailed panel stitching and, of course, the same highest quality soft, sumptuous nappa leather.

In naming the new bean bag we continued the South American theme as it reflects the origins and the spirit of the bean bags.  Sao Luis is situated along Brazil’s northern Atlantic coast, although there are other towns dotted around South America which share the name.

The height dimensions are the same as the Sao Paulo but its diameter of 120cm is 20cm less than its larger brother.  We decided to produce this bean bag following feedback from some customers who loved the Sao Paulo but found it a little too big for their living space.

The Sao Luis looks beautiful in any stylish living space, whether the decor be minimal or funky.  It’s something that adds a sense of fun and tactility, a bit of Joie de vivre next to more formal and static pieces of furniture.

We are currently arranging a photo shoot in a really cool location.  It should allow us to portray our bean bags in a designer living setting to give customers a clear idea of how good they can look.  We’re hoping this’ll take place in the next few weeks so we’ll post more information when we can.

Finally, we will soon be adding a new colour to our real leather range: tan brown.  Tan is a classic colour which compliments so many styles and colour schemes.  It’s perhaps more of a retro colour than black and dark brown so will hopefully provide an option to a whole new set of customers.  We’re always striving to offer unbeatable quality with plenty of choice at sensible prices.

Cozibag teams up with Birmingham City University

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Last year, Cozibag were proud to supply Birmingham City University (formerly University of Central England) with 20 bean bags for a special relaxation area that allows students to socialise and discuss ideas.  As we all know, thoughts flow more freely when we feel calm, comfortable and relaxed – and Cozibag giant bean bags are perfect for the job!

Our Everlast Faux Leather bean bags are remarkably durable; in fact the materials we use are so inherently strong, and the manufacturing process so expertly finished, that we are confident enough to offer a genuine 3 year guarantee on all Everlast products.  We aren’t the type of company to attempt to slip out of a guarantee obligation by inserting small print, we are open and honest and always eager to please our customers.

Although thicker than most faux leather materials, the major difference with Everlast Faux Leather is that it remains beautifully supple, just like real leather.  They look stylish and have the added benefit of being wipe-clean with a damp cloth, so very little care is required.

Our thanks go out to the everyone in the Law Social Sciences department at Birmingham City University who are happily using Cozibag beanbags.  They are great people who work hard and are always keen to support local businesses.

Cozibag teams up with Leicester City Football Club

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Cozibag is happy to announce an alliance with Leicester City Football Club.

We have produced our high quality bean bag furniture in the famous blue and white of the club with beautifully embroidered club crests.

We are offering the High-back Bean Bag in Everlast Faux Leather in all 3 high-back sizes: Small, XL and XXL.

As a special intriductory offer, all Leicester City Football Club beanbags are HALF PRICE with FREE SHIPPING.  That means you can buy a specially embroidered Everlast Faux Leather bean bag for as little £34.50 including shipping- a great gift idea for any fan of the Foxes!  There is a limited quantity so, at those prices and the fact that Leicester are currently riding high in the Championship, stock may not last very long.

The official LCFC crest is embroidered on two panels of each bag (one on a side panel and one on top) using the most skilled workers, the best machinery and the finest materials – much like the bean bags themselves.

Leicester City are a great club with a huge fan base and everybody at Cozibag wishes them well.  With a bit of luck we will see the team reach this season’s play-offs and work their way back in to the Premier League – where they belong.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen uses Cozibag Bean Bags

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

We are delighted to announce that we have been approached by TV interior design guru Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen and his team to supply bean bags for his forthcoming ’style bible’ book, which is due to go on sale next year.

Lawrence initially took a Chair bean bag and a Slump bean bag, both in Everlast Faux Leather, and was so impressed that he asked his team to get a couple more.  He noted that the quality of the faux leather was excellent and the workmanship exemplary.

We are proud of the materials we use at Cozibag because we don’t try to cut corners by finding cheaper alternatives.  In fact, we were recently offered a newer style material by our supplier, which was cheaper than we usually use, but with a slightly thinner cotton base.  As it wasn’t quite as thick as the usual stuff it lost a little bit of strength and weight, which we felt just didn’t feel right.  Although we could quite easily have sold this new material and saved some money, we decided to stick to the original, more expensive, stuff as we’re just not comfortable offering lower-grade products – we will always stick to our high-quality values.

In over 4 years of selling Everlast Faux Leather Bean Bags, we have had only two products that have needed replacing due to slight stitching faults (which, of course, we did immediately and without fuss).  We are very proud of that.

There will be more news on the publication of Lawrence’s book in the coming months.

Dannii Minogue on a Cozibag Bean Bag

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Things are hotting up on X Factor with the run-up to Christmas and the grand finale getting nearer.  Last night’s eviction of Lucie was a bit of a shocker, although we think Simon called in the public vote purely because he couldn’t bring himself to vote Lucie out but knew full well that ‘Jedward’ are a ratings winner!  He’s a wily old fox is Cowell.

Here’s an image from ITV2’s the Xtra Factor, in which Dannii is enjoying a bit of Guitar Hero with the contestants whilst relaxing on a Cozibag Bean Bag in the house.  She is seen here (admittedly, not the best shot, but we are waiting for more to come soon) on a High-Back (XXL) Bean Bag in Everlast Faux leather ‘Peacock Green’ – one of unique accent colours which are great if you want to spice up a plain-looking living space.

Cozibag teams up with The X Factor

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

We are please to announce our partnership with ITV’s huge and unrivalled smash hit show The X Factor.

The production team at Talkback Thames (production company for The X Factor) approached us to ask if we could supply them with a variety of giant bean bags to be used in the house for the final contestants in this year’s show.

They needed something large, stylish and robust; products that could handle heavy usage but offer superb comfort and look great on TV.  We were happy to help out and agreed to supply a mixture of the Slouch Bean Bags, Slump Bean Bags and High-back (XXL) Bean Bags in our unique and unrivalled Everlast Faux Leather.

We’re proud to report that our bean bags have already featured on more than one occasion on the Xtra Factor, with gorgeous judge Danni Minogue and stars of the show Lloyd Daniels, Olly Murs, Jamie Archer and Danyl Johnson all obviously enjoying the comfort of a Cozibag Bean Bag.  We haven’t seen John and Edward use them as yet…

We’ll be getting some official pictures from the production company very soon and will add them to the website in due course.
