What are marine bean bags? What is the difference between a bean bag and a marine bean bag? Let me start by saying this. The bean bag chair has been around since the 60's and has brought comfort to our everyday lives every since. Over the years there have been many new styles and shapes which have taken the bean bag chair to a whole new level. Bean bags are made of many different materials from the outer shell to the filler inside. When choosing a bean bag you should always consider these different types of materials to ensure you are purchasing a quality product that will last for years to come. This is where we answer " what are marine bean bag chairs?". Marine bean bags are high quality bean bag chairs that are made with 100% marine grade materials. The advantage to a marine grade bean bag is that it was specifically designed to be used on boats and can withsand the harsh outdoor elements and extreme marine conditions. A normal department store bean bag will rot and fade from the suns UV rays and mildew once it gets wet. The filler used in most department store bean bags is usually re-ground styrofoam or shredded foam which breaks down fairly quickly. These types of fillers also absorb water. Drying your bean bag out after the filler asorbs water is nearly impossible so the result will leave you with a heavy, waterlogged bean bag that will start to mildew and smell really bad. The high quality marine grade materials used to manufacture a marine bean bag can handle these harsh conditions with no problem. The use of virgin polystyrene beads which don't absorb water and do not break down like other fillers do will provide you with a high quality bean bag that will last for years to come. Boaters and tournament fishermen have been using these for years and most will not leave the dock without them. Most of todays boats have less seating on board to allow for more deck space in the boat. The reason the marine bean bag was designed was to give the active boater a comfortable marine seating option that is not only versatile but also portable. In rough sea conditions the marine bean bag absorbs the shock and pounding on your body and provides you with an extremely comfortable ride. Although designed for the boating and marine inustry, marine bean bags can be used for camping, outdoor sporting events, poolside, and many more outdoor or indoor activity. The use of high quality marine grade vinyl, heavy duty marine grade thread and zippers, and virgin pylystyrene beads make it a high end product that will last for years to come. Now you may be wondering where would I purchase a marine bean bag chair? Marine bean bags are not available at your local department store. A good quality marine bean bag is custom made and can only be purchased online and in some tackle and boating supply stores. One company at the top of the industry is OCEAN-TAMER Marine Grade Bean Bags. Below is an article about the OCEAN-TAMER products written by Jack Holmes of the SKA (Southern Kingfish Association). Ocean Tamer Comfort Seats Are First Class! by Jack Holmes I spotted this portable tent with several bright, multicolored, beanbag seats on display at the Naples King Mackerel Tournament. It was a nice display and being the curious guy I am, I wandered over to have a closer look. “These are great,” I thought to myself. “Great quality, love the colors, and a style for everyone.” When I sat in one I was even more impressed. It was then I met Frank Abruzzino, Vice President of Sales for Ocean Tamer Marine Grade Bean Bags. “This is something our fishermen could use,” I told Frank and he came back with, “That’s why I’m here, to showcase our product and support the event.” He went on to tell me about the product. Every marine beanbag product from Ocean-Tamer is made in the USA with 100% marine grade materials and backed by a full lifetime warranty. The use of 100% marine grade vinyl, heavy duty marine grade thread and zippers, strong nylon strap handles, and virgin polystyrene beads provide you with a high quality product that is comfortable, durable, and will last for years to come. Ocean-Tamer Marine Grade Bean Bags are available in three sizes, four styles, and 32 colors; you are sure to find the right marine beanbag for your boating and fishing needs. Frank had me sold, but who were these people? I’ve learned in the marine industry to beware of manufacturers who have a good product but are short on longevity. Frank then piped in to give me the answer I was looking for. Ocean-Tamer Marine Grade Bean Bags is a product of Custom Marine Canvas, Inc, a company that has custom-made high quality marine seating and upholstery products for over 30 years. In business since 1978, Custom Marine Canvas, Inc has been featured on Ship Shape TV and is known around west central Florida for their high quality marine canvas and upholstery products as well as their devoted customer service. Doing work on boats ranging from 15’ to over 100’, from center consoles to large yachts, Custom Marine Canvas, Inc has been able to develop the perfect marine bean bag chair to suit every boat owners needs. He finished his explanation with “The Ocean-Tamer staff are avid boaters and experienced fishermen who know the importance of comfort and safety on the water, especially during rough sea conditions. Ocean-Tamer’s high quality marine seating products prevent back discomfort, neck pain, and vessel fatigue caused by the long rides offshore. Rough sea conditions are not only uncomfortable, but unsafe as well. Ocean-Tamer Marine Grade Bean Bags are designed to absorb the shock and pounding of rough seas but also sits you close to the deck and surrounds your body for maximum comfort plus gives you an extremely safe ride. Every Ocean-Tamer Marine seating product has been tournament tested to withstand sea conditions that the average boater will never face. ”Sold! Sold! Sold! Frank told me everything I wanted to know, so I invited him to become a part of the SKA family. Ocean Tamer is starting their venture with the SKA as a web site participant and will be at various events this season in Florida, then will bring their display to the National Championship. I encourage you to visit their web site at www.Ocean-Tamer.com or you can click on their banner when you’re on the SKA site checking your points. It will take you right to their site. But be careful, it could take you some time, not only picking the colors that would match your boat, but the style of chair that’s right for you!
