bean bag chairs? (or other cheap chairs?)

I'm looking to get some sort of reading chair to put in my bedroom. I don't want anything too rigid because I don't like sitting up straight for long periods of time. I also don't want to spend too much money on it.

I thought about a bean bag chair, but I'm not sure... are they actually comfortable? Are they really bad for your back?
Does anyone have another idea for a cheap comfy chair?

try going to some 2nd hand stores around your area, sometimes you can find really neat chairs for very little. I personally dont like bean bag chairs but thats cos I hate not having something to rest my head on. And after you sit in them for a while, they start hurting your bum!

Have you ever sat in one of those bowl like chairs? They're usually made out of really thick woven wicker and are adjustable too. My sister had a king size one and it was big enough to sleep in!

They sell something similar to that at walmart, called a mushroom chair I think.

ohhh... those seem so comfy!!

I don't like the look of wicker, but maybe someone makes them in another material.

I might just go shopping around second hand stores. However, right now is back-to-school season so I might have competition in looking for cheap furniture!

I just bought these http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html...sin=B000N8LGK2
from Target. I unfolded it, they're quite large and comfortable enough. They're also on sale (30 instead of 40).

I sat in these at Bed Bath and Beyond today - really really comfortable!!!
