Alright freshers, returners, and everyone in between… it’s that time again. Back to uni means back to late-night cramming, questionable dinners, and iconic chill-out spots (pun fully intended).

Whether you're moving into halls or kitting out your off-campus pad, comfort should absolutely be on your course list. Forget boring boxy sofas and stiff desk chairs, we’re talking squish-first, stress-free, snack-approved seating.

Let’s get into it...

 

Fresh Term means Fresh Set-up

Your uni room is more than just a place to sleep. It’s your library, living room, snack zone, pre-drinks venue and recovery bunker. So you need furniture that moves with you, quite literally.

Enter: Icon bean bags. Super lightweight, mega portable, and comfy enough to carry you through an all-nighter (or a Netflix binge watch, let’s be real).

Top picks for the new term:

Bonus: They come in loads of colours (yes, even bubblegum pink) so you can actually match your vibe.

 

Greggs x icon = The Collab of the Century

Yes, you read that right. We teamed up with Greggs (yes, that Greggs) to create the bean bag of every student’s dreams. Think flaky-pastry energy meets squishy cloud seating.

This limited-edition Greggs bean bag collection is made for snack-lovers, pastry-worshippers, and anyone who’s ever felt emotional over a Sausage Roll.

Perfect for:

  • Group gossip sessions after a big night out
  • Post-library stress eats
  • Midday naps between lectures (don’t lie, we all do it)

P.S. It looks chef’s kiss next to a cuppa and a Steak Bake.

 

Small Space, Big Energy

Not got much room? No problem.

Bean bags are space-saving heroes. You can:

  • Tuck them away when mum comes to visit and you want to pretend you “do use the desk”
  • Drag them into your mate’s room for movie night
  • Move them outside when the sun shows up for 3.5 minutes

And when you move house next year? No back-breaking lifts up four flights of stairs. Just grab it and go.

 

Top Tips for Back to Uni Vibes

We wouldn’t leave you hanging. Here are some quick-fire ways to make your space feel like home without blowing your student loan in week one:

  • Layer up: Add a throw, fairy lights, and a few cushions (we recommend the icon Checkerboard ones) to make your room cosy
  • Smells matter: Get a reed diffuser or candle for that fresh, “I’ve got my life together” scent
  • Organise (sort of): Store snacks in reach, chargers within grabbing distance, and books… somewhere?
  • Prioritise comfort: Because comfort = focus = results (science probably)

 

Welcome to Your Uni Era

Uni is all about figuring stuff out. Your space shouldn’t stress you out – it should support you, quite literally. Whether you're hosting mates, pulling all-nighters, or just vibing to your sad-girl playlist, Icon’s got a bean bag with your name on it.

And hey, if all else fails, at least you’ve got a seat that feels like a hug.
