bean bag filling

EPS polystyrene bean bag filling — 100 litre and 200 litre boxes.

Fresh expanded polystyrene beads for filling a new cover or topping up a bag that has gone flat. Lightweight, quick-drying and buoyant, so the same beads suit indoor chairs, outdoor loungers and pool bean bags.

Try to buy it locally first

Filling weighs almost nothing but takes up a lot of room, and couriers charge for the space a box takes up rather than what it weighs. That makes freight on filling expensive — often more than the beads themselves. If a department store or Spotlight near you has stock, that will usually work out cheaper, and we would rather say so up front. When local stock is hard to find, or you would rather have it turn up at the door, ours dispatches the next business day from Brisbane.

How much do you need?

• 96cm bean bags: about 300 litres
• 112cm bean bags: about 500 litres
• Most adult sizes: 200–500 litres
• Kids' bean bags: 100–200 litres

Check the product page for your bag, or use our bean bag filling calculator to work out the litres from its shape and size.

Filling tips

• Fill the inner liner to about two-thirds — an overfilled bag sits hard and loses its shape.
• Two people makes it easy: one holds the liner open, one pours.
• Work in a dry, draught-free room. Beads carry static and travel fast.
• Keep beads away from small children and pets, and zip the liner closed as you go.

Any standard EPS bean bag filling fits our covers and inner liners — there is nothing proprietary about the beads.
