Why Choose Fatboy: A Lifestyle Icon for UAE Living
Few brands earn their place in a home the way Fatboy does. Known for their oversized proportions and practically indestructible build, they’re designed to handle every part of your day. A prime example is the Fatboy Original Outdoor bean bag, specifically built to handle the intensity of the UAE climate. Its UV-protected fabric stays dirt-repellent and durable, whether placed on a sandy terrace or a sunny balcony.
The secret to the comfort is the high-density EPS pearls that adapt to your body's contours and hold their shape. This means your Friday morning looks like this: sunk deep into it, a coffee resting on the Fatboy Bakkes pulled close, and a floating bean bag already waiting by the pool for later. From the first quiet hour of the day to a full afternoon with guests, every piece earns its place.
Find the Perfect Fit for Your Outdoor Space
Fatboy offers plenty of ways to settle in and make the most of your outdoor space. If you want the ultimate all-rounder, the Fatboy Floatzac Bean Bag deserves a spot in every outdoor setup. Featuring a mesh underside for quick drainage, it transitions seamlessly from a comfortable lounger to a floating bean bag that stays buoyant all afternoon. Expand your setup with the Buggle-up Bean Bag if you prefer a more structured seat with adjustable straps. Pair it with an outdoor pouf to function as a versatile footrest, or even an extra stool for guests.
For a fully curated outdoor retreat, you can also interweave your bean bags with more structured furniture. Pair loungers with a Fatboy Toni Tavolo dining table for a social hub, or create a deep-seated relaxation zone with the Fatboy Paletti modular lounge sofa. The bean bags anchor the comfort; everything else builds around them.
Elevate Your Interior with Indoor Alternatives
There is a Fatboy design for every space inside your home, from playful oversized pieces to sophisticated seating. A standout in any home is our Fatboy x Miffy capsule collection, bringing Dick Bruna’s iconic character to life through charming bean bags. If you’d like a propped-up version of a traditional bean bag, our Fatboy Bonbaron Sherpa bean bag offers the look of a cloud-like armchair with a firm, supportive core.
Prefer a more polished aesthetic? The Fatboy Slim Velvet bean bag brings a luxurious sheen and silky touch to your bedroom or living room. Customise your indoor lounging further by pairing these pieces with functional accessories, like the Fatboy Rock ‘n Roll base. This metal frame turns your standard bean bag into a rhythmic rocker, the kind of piece guests notice the moment they walk in.
How to Keep Your Bean Bag Looking New
Proper care depends entirely on the fabric type, as outdoor and indoor materials require different cleaning methods to stay in top condition. For outdoor bean bags like the Floatzac Bean Bag or the Original Outdoor Bean Bag, a quick hose-down is usually enough. Because these fabrics are dirt-repellent and UV-protected, they are built to withstand the elements. However, we recommend storing them undercover during the peak summer months to keep the colours vibrant for even longer.
Indoor bean bags with soft material require a gentler touch to maintain their soft texture. Velvet fabrics should be gently brushed to keep it looking new, and you should avoid hosing them down or using harsh chemicals. Most Fatboy models feature a removable outer cover that can be machine-washed on a cold, gentle cycle. Always ensure the covers are completely air-dried before refilling them with the inner bag of EPS pearls to ensure your Fatboy bean bag maintains its ergonomic shape and comfort.
Should You Rent or Buy Fatboy Furniture in Dubai?
We give you the choice to enjoy Fatboy however you want. If you prefer owning one or two iconic pieces, buying is a long-term investment that allows you to move your comfort whenever and wherever you like. A standalone piece like the Fatboy Headdemock hammock creates an instant sanctuary in your garden without requiring any permanent installation.
Planning a one-off event? Consider renting instead. Renting lets you scale up for any occasion without the storage commitment afterwards. From the Cosmo collection, you can create an immersive lounge setting that suits any wedding palette or corporate theme. For a bolder look, you can also opt for statement pieces that act as functional decor for garden parties. This flexibility allows you to access the same authentic Dutch design for any occasion without worrying about storage or maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your bean bag starts to feel flat or you sink too close to the floor, it likely needs a top up. Over years of heavy use, the high-density EPS pearls naturally compress. You can easily restore the original firmness by refilling it with EPS pearls.
The Rock ‘n Roll frame is specifically engineered to fit the dimensions of the Fatboy Original collection. While it may physically support other large bean bags, it features anti-slip webbing and a frame size optimised for the 180 x 140 cm Original footprint. Using it with significantly smaller or differently-shaped bags may affect the balance and experience.
While the high-performance Sunbrella and Olefin fabrics are breathable and UV-resistant, any material will absorb some heat if left in direct sunlight for hours. However, unlike plastic or metal furniture, the EPS pearl filling does not retain heat, allowing the bean bag to cool down almost instantly once moved into the shade.
For local orders in Dubai and across the UAE, your Fatboy pieces typically arrive fully assembled and ready to use. They are delivered via our specialised logistics teams rather than a standard courier. If you’re ordering for an event, we also offer a full installation service where our team handles the positioning and setup of your rental furniture for you.
What is the difference between the Original and the Slim bean bag?
The Fatboy Original is the classic oversized choice, perfect for large living rooms or open terraces. The Slim versions are slightly more compact and use softer fabrics, making them ideal for bedrooms or apartments where space is a bit more limited but comfort is still a priority.
