Ambient Lounge Bean Bags

It's that musical festival time of the year again and we are all excited about the prospect of lounging around the Body & Soul area of the �Big Chill� amongst the beautiful surrounds of Eastnor Castle, on our outdoor bean bags for the second year running.

With this UK summer being shrouded with dark and wet skies so far, we are all hoping that the grey departs and sunshine beams on us - to give Big Chill festival revellers all the wonderful experience and atmosphere to match last year�s event. The good news is that this is what the BBC weather forecasters are saying, with Big Chill organisers are loudly confident that the grounds will be super dry and in tip-top condition come August the 3rd.

So come and visit us in the beautiful Body & Soul area. Our designer waterproof bean bags will be scattered around the caf� area near the Big ol� tree we had last year and in places where you can just drift of and relax to the distant sound of music. Whilst you are there you might as well get a massage, book in for some yoga or try some of the alternative or spiritual treatments available.

If it�s your first �chill�, prepare yourself for a truly magical experience and a great escape from the workplace blues.

Thanks to all the Aussies and kiwis that hung out with us at the 2007 Toast Festival, chilling out on the Ambient Lounge� outdoor bean bags with a great atmosphere of smiling faces and fine tunes jangling in the background.

It was a lot of fun despite the Saturday London 'monsoon' and most of us running for cover with a beer or wine in hand! We had plenty of fab feedback and met loads of cool (if slightly inebriated) people.

The cheeky new Zealanders were more than a little enthusiastic on the Saturday, with scarcely a complaint from a group that got completely saturated! Everyone just got on with it and we felt just a little guilty as we huddled under the tarp. on our conversion loungers; waiting for a glimpse of sunshine.

One thing was for sure though, it was a great test of out waterproof fabrics, as the previously drenched bean bags just required a quick toweling off and they came up as good as new. Happy days! Hopefully the message gets back to New Zealand for the launch of our new Ambient Lounge New Zealand website - offering a tasty 20% discount to any Toast revellers for the month of August 2007. Just Contact the Auckland crew and they will give you details of how to redeem your discount back home.

The Sunday was bright and cheerful and possibly a little more civilised as the Australians seemed conscious that they had to go to work the following day. So the Ambient Lounger's were pole position as people reveled in the rare blue sky with a glass of Wolf Blass or stubby of VB in hand, and soaked up some Vitamin E.

We thought that Kath 'n Kim were just a little to short lived but funny as always and we wound down the great weekend topping up our non-existent tans.

Thanks to Dion and all organisers of Toast festival for making it a memorable and fun event.

To celebrate the launch of Ambient Lounge New Zealand we will have a chill out zone operating at this year's Australian and New Zealand weekend food, wine and entertainment festival, appropriately called 'Toast'.

The Toast festival will be held at the beautiful Fulham Palace grounds in London on the 21st July (new zealand) and 22nd July (Australia). For those kiwis that might want to buy designer bean bags for their friends and family back home � or just for themselves in their UK abode � we will have a few one off special offers and discounted prices if you come and say hello. You could also win a bean bag that we will give away at the end of the festival. We�ll also be doing the same for the Aussies on the Sunday.

So when you have tasted too much fine wine and might be feeling that shade 'wobbby' on your legs, come and kick back on some of our waterproof bean bags. Just look for the Ambient Lounge banner and antipodean punters looking semi comatosed on our Conversion Loungers.

For Sitting On ....

Well, when we say sofas, we're using the term somewhat loosely, in fact we mean beanbag sofas and chairs. Before you groan and start saying, "it's nothing but hippie furniture", take a peak at the stuff we've had a go of so far.

AMBIENT BEAN BAGS

Ambient Lounge has developed some exceedingly posh beanbags that could well replace the likes of sofas and chairs in your home. Some of the things they sell include genuine leather bean bags sofas, loungers, conversion loungers that fold up into a chair, and some high quality good old fashioned bean bag chairs. The company's ethos is that beanbags should be just as good quality as any other piece of furniture it replaces. Most items are �99.99 except the sofas, which are �119.99 and the leather sofa, which is �399.99. If it sounds like your cup of tea then head over to www.ambientlounge.co.uk to get your mitts on one.

The non-porous nature of waterproof material means that air pockets normally remain inside when the bean bag is zipped shut, making many other brands of outdoor bean bags uncomfortably bouncy. However, once you sit in Ambient Lounge outdoor bean bags, the hidden vent subliminally pushes out any trapped air from the waterproof material to allow the bean bag to mould to your body shape and retain a premium comfort level. Because it is designed to sit underneath the handy carry handle, the vent is inconspicuous and protected from rainy weather conditions under normal usage. It�s also make of extra strength mesh material that is triple stitched and virtually impossible to penetrate.

Just sit in the garden or balcony in an outdoor Zen� Lounger, Conversion� Lounger or Studio� Lounger and notice that slow, sensual sinking feeling as the beads mould around your sitting position. You�ll probably want to throw out any of your old garden furniture and line your abode with our outdoor bean bags.

It would be fair to say that from our feedback, the Zen lounger is a little misunderstood from our pictures. It�s not just a flat bean cushion; its XL, totally versatile and can be sat on in a variety of positions and used like a sofa, or even like a traditional bean bag. Those who purchased them have sent back rave reviews about their comfort and function.

Whist it may be the same type of functional bean bag that is on the market with Fatboy brand, Sit on It brand and Sumo Brand � our design has three things that set it apart in the designer world. Firstly is the quilted feature stitching, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but has the function of making the seating area softer and comfier. Secondly, the material is thicker, waterproof and textured to give it a feel of higher quality. Thirdly, we have developed an air vent system in the rear of the bean bag that is hidden behind the carry handle. This system pushes out trapped air, allowing the Zen to mould around your body in blissful comfort.

It�s perfect for indoors or outdoors use � and very easy to care for.
Not to mention the �less than Fat� price of �99.99 makes this a very attractive bean bag indeed.

Anybody who has been perched on an Ambient Lounge bean bag knows about the difficulty of moving when you�re feeling so comfortable! That�s why on the high back models, we have included a handy couple of pockets/pouches to allow you to stash all of your necessities at your fingertips. Remote controls, iPods, magazines, books, snacks, tissues are all at your easy reach in the handy side pockets � so whilst you�re watching a DVD, you don�t have to hit the pause button and break your rhythm of relaxation.

So stash up the pockets before you sit down, then kick back and chill out.
