With the rough and tumble that is childhood, soft is best when it comes to furniture. I've come to love ottomans with storage under the cushion to hold those errant toys that seem to accumulate in adult spaces (or all over the house). I've rounded up some soft seating that would look great in the home while catering to the needs of your little ones. — Maddie from Colour Me There

These are beanbags with a modern twist. They're light enough to move around and minimal enough to blend into adult spaces.

The traditional Moroccan pouf makes a fabulous coffee table, footstool or soft seat for kids. It's stylish enough to use in any room and sturdy enough to handle a climbing kidlet.

Nothing beats Fatboy for child-resistant seating. Their beanbags are available in a rainbow of colors and patterns, but I'm a huge fan of this bold Marimekko print.

| Contemporary and minimal, this fold-out seating is a far cry from the cartoon character versions seen so often in kids' rooms. Sometimes you really can have too much Dora the Explorer. |

astudent I loved the cupcake seats, though I'm not so sure my daughter would balance well there. We have a Milega Beanbag (they are Israel's hottest beanbag brand for the past 14 years or so) Here are some pics. Their site is http://www.milega.co.il

midcenturymartha I would recommend the Jaxx Pillow Lounger for a quality product that's less-expensive. I was looking at Fat Boys for my sons, and when reviewing both, the Jaxx Pillow Lounger got higher reviews for quality. I do like the grommets on the Fat Boys, but in the end I was won over by the quality and price of the Jaxx line, plus I liked the fact that they are made in the U.S.A.

jtakesonoyu I think the 3750 bean bag price is given in Swedish Krona, not USD. Therefor in USD, it's about $560.
